would have been considered big
business.
The company has received this
big contract which many of the 9th
err western roads were fighting hard
for, and now that it has it, it has a
big task on its hands. More equip
ment is necessary, and heavier roll
ing stock must be procured. Bigger
class engines are being used in the
place of the lighter engines which
have heretofore been used to GER
tain extent, and engines with more
pulling power will now do the work.
It is not improbable that the road
will be double tracked if the bust
ness continues to increase, in order
to more perfectly facilitate mat
tiers in the handling of the heavy
traffic which the road is enjoying.
This would only be in line with the
many other policies which have
been wrought since the road went
under new management little ov-
er year ago.

WORLDS TOUR IS
PLANNED FOR GOTCH
Champion May Close Deal t
Wrestle in Every Large City
on the Globe.

A tour around the world wrest-
ling in every city of Importance on
the globe and visiting every place
of prominence on the map, is in
store for Frank Gotch, following hi.
match with Hackenschmidt at Chi
cago on Labor Day. Plans have not
been completed as yet, but, accord
ing to Manager Klank, tempting
offer has been made the champion
and it is likely that he will ac-
cept.
The show will be made up of
three prominent sportsmen, box
err, wrestler and one other athlete
of Importance. The two who will
be selected to travel with Gotch
have not been determined upon.
Gotch has been offered fiat $780,
900 for the tour, win or loose at
Chicago The trip will take about
a year. Every country will be WIS.,
tied, even to the Indian lands,
where wrestling is little known.
One thing that looks good to Gotch
is the lion hunting in Africa. The
champion expects to make side trips
of this nature while away if the
deal is put through.
1t is probable that this tour will
end Gotch's days on the wrestling
mat. He has small fortune al
ready and with $4,000 cold cash
for the Hack match, added to the
above purse for the contemplated
tour, he will be placed among the
-four hundred His recent coming
out of retirement, Melted the cham
pion $4,000.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
HAS BIG BUSINESS
Talk Of Doubling the Track-In'
creased Activity due Largely
to Fruit Trains.

Just at present the Illinois Cen
trail railroad is doing the largest
freight business in it's history.
Twenty trains over division one
way, in less than twenty-four hours
was the record made in one day re-
Gently. And while the greatest num-
Der is said to be twenty, there is
scarcely a day that the number is
not within close reach of that.
The increase is in a great part
due to the fact that this spring the
company got the contract for hand
ling the fruit trains from the Pacific
coast into Chicago. the trains being
turned over intact at Omaha by the
Union Pacific. This transportation
of fruit from the Pacific coast to the
eastern markets is enormous, more
than the average person has any
conception of, and much more than
the railroad men in the transporta-
tion realize until they get into the
actual work Of handling the trains.
The men have been kept busy, most
of the time being spent on the road.
They are allowed eight hours rest
at a terminal by law, before the
company can call them to go out,
and with the business as heavy as
1t is at present, that is just about
all they are getting. In fact the
business on the east end during the
past week has been so heavy, that
there have been a shortage of crews
employed regularly to handle the in
creased volume, and it has also been
necessary to transfer five running
crews from the west end over to the
east end division. Five orange
trains have been shipped in one
twenty-four hours, which is consid-
cred enormous, in view of the fact
that only little over year ago

DRAINING OF WALL
LAKE UP AGAIN
Old Fight to be Revived According
to Reports Petition to be
Circulated.

News of revival of the old fight
to drain Wall Lake comes to US
today in the shape of a report that
Frank Ross, one of the residents Of
the country adjacent to the big in
land body of water, is making plans
for the circulation of another petit
ton asking that Wall Lake be
drained.
The matter of draining this lake
was holly contested before the exec
utive council at Des Moines last
fall, and though the decision was
apparently in favor of the farmers
who asked for drainage. there has
been no step taken toward empty
ing the lake. In fact, many i'm
provements in the way of summer
cottages, ETC., have been placed
about the lake since that time and
the place has become quite popu-
lar summer resort.
1t is rumored that petition ask
ing for the draining of the lake wil'
be presented at the next meeting of
the Wright county board Of super
visors. The draining of this lake,
if it takes place, will be disap-
pointment to the sportsmen of the
country about here, as Wall Lake is
about the sole remaining place
where any good duck shooting may
be had in the proper season.
