sALLAsT,Na DOUBLE TRACK.
Huge and Costly Undertaking 10 Begun
BY Northwestern Road.


Special to Tmes-Republlcan.
Boone, April 21.-Announcement is
made today that the Northwestern
Railway Company Is starting upon the
ballasting OF its double track from Chi
cago to Omaha with crushed rock and
stone. The tracks can not ALI be bal
lasted within a year or two. brt work
has already been started and win be
pushed as rapidly as possible from year
20 year.
The Northwestern company is op-
Grating the crushed stone plant at Le-
Grand, and the rock Is being hauled
at the rate OF 1900 yards per day along
the Iowa lines. From thirty to fifty
miles Of miles are to be >ballasted this
summer, starting at Tama and working
west: Ames to Boone, and Boone to
Ogden. Stone Is now being hauled to
this city and dumped along the tracks.
The reason the company is to use
crushed stone instead Of the finer
gravel, which has been in use. is on ac-
count OF the heavy traffic over the
road, and the extra heavy power in use.
The company expects to start the
operation Of the stone plant at Cedar
Rapids soon, and start ballasting out of
that city shortly. When this huge un-
dertaking is completed. the North
western will have the finest stretch Of
road bed in the world, between Chicago
and Omaha. The work will be quite
costly and require much time.

NEW PHONE DISPATCH SYSTEM.
Great Western Installing Service on
Eastern Division.

Dubuque. April 21.-The Chicago
Great Western read has started the
construction and installation OF a new
system for the dispatching OF trains.
which Is not unlike the present tele-
phone system, and does away with the
telegraph outfits. The principal office
Is at Stockton. I'll. and al! the dis
patches must go thru this office In
stead Of being able to call the operator
at another station by giving the code
as before the operator must ring
Stockton and they in turn will con-
meet him directly with the station de-
sired. In the old system 1t was often
difficult for the operator to distinguish
his call when tho other machines were
in operation whereas now the bell
rings only at the station called.
So far the instruments have been In
stalled from Chicago as far as this city
and 1t is expected that they will be in
operation on May 1. Men are now at
work on the lines between here and
Oeiwein. This system VIII make the
road more efficient because the man
at the wire will receive more definite
orders.

Washington, April 21-Opening the
last day of Canadian reciprocity de-
bate in the house, Representative Nc
Call, Of Massachusetts,, declared today
that the farmers Of the United States

Of the discussions. He had charge OF

K. De Hartier, an aged fisherman and

Another Bomb Exploded When Helm
Witness Names Subscriber.
Springfield, H., April 21.-From out
the tangle Of secrecy that enmeshes the
100000 Lorimer election fund, the
Helm committee Thursday unraveled
the first thread leading toward the
identity Of the men who paid the
$4,000 assessments.
William Burgess, Of Duluth, went on
the stand and under oath testified that
last March C. F. Wiehe, secretary and
director of the Edward Hines Lumber
Company, told him he had subscribed
$4,000 to the "pot." The conversation
took place on the winnipeg flyer"
somewhere between Duluth and Vir-
ginia, Minn., few days after Lorimer
had been exculpated by the United
States senate. The detonator that ex-
plodes the latest bomb in the senator
ship scandals lies in the parting re-
mark Of Wiehe to Burgess.
"wiehe said Lorimer had not used
a dollar of his own money" testified
Burgess, "but that a Jackpot was
raised for his election. He said. Iknow
what I am talking about, for sub
scribed $4,000 myself"
The testimony caused sensation
when it became known at the state-
house. It is the most important dis
closure unearthed by the Investigators
since the day Clarence S. Funk. man.
ager of the International Harvester
Company, went on the stand. Its
weight lies in the fact that 1t is not
only directly corroborative Of q large
part Of Mr.. Funk's testimony but 1t
furnishes clew as to the sources
from which the money came.
