such that neither the Interstate Com.

s,om appearances the rival lines will

public is scarcely aware that the big

cause Of the fight is the ownership OF
a simple $3.50 on each ticket sold by
the eastern lines to the Pacific coast,
but the effect produced Is tremendous.
And still greater effects are promised
BY the generals In command OF the
campaign.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that Hill, in the fight, has the as

nected with the enlistment of the
companies of the Third Iowa Cavalry.

into service and re-enlisted again in
1868 and 1864. The Third Iowa regi-
ment lost more men, killed and
wounded in battle than any other
regiment in the state of Iowa and
more than five or six infantries. Eight
hundred men were lost through disa.
bility. from the ranks. But in 1864
re-enlistment was so strong thai
when the last battle was fought on
the 18th day of April. 1865, that near
ly 1000 men We're mustered out of
service at the close of the war.
