Raising tho Tracks.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
From time to time of late we have
been reading of changes in the rail-
road tracks across the levee and as
everybody knows the elevation of
these tracks at the north end Of the
city is going on and we must assume
according to some agreed plan and the
only plan so far as the public has
been advised is this:
An elevation Of not only one but
two tracks across the levee outside
the present tracks SO that they will
run through the coal sheds of the
Chisholm-Evans Co.; but what is
worse at an elevation of some ten
or twelve feet above the present track
in front Of the water works and OF five
to six feet across the lower end OF
Main street.
Do the people Of Keokuk want as
they go down Main street to be con
fronted with an embankment five feet
high over which they must climb te
/ reach the river?
| Do they want to be shut off from
a view of the river by such an EN-
| bankment with string of cars run
ming between them and the river? I
satisfied with this then keep quiet
but If not then roar and roar SO tina
the commissioners cannot be mistake,
as to the meaning.
Yours respectfully,
1 CITIZEN.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 15.-Congress-
man Thomas w. Handwick of Geor-
gia chairman of the congressional
committee investigating the opera
tions of the alleged sugar trust, VINO
is in Savannah today, says the trust is
not to blame for the price of sugar
advancing as it has been during the
past few weeks. He exonerates the
combine from the charge OF wilfully
forcing up the price. although ne
saws the matter will be investigated
by his committee when 1t meets nex'
month. Said the congressman today:
1.-THE increase in the price OF sugar
ia not the result of manipulation. 1t IL
solely the result of lack of produc
ton in Cuba and elsewhere. The bee'
sugar crop has failed here, ant
abroad and supplies cannot be had
The result has been an increased
price, Just as there would be an IN

FORT MADISON, Ia, Sept 10
What promises to be costly and
long drawn out legal contest was be-
gun here today when the water power
company began condemnation pro-
ceedings against AL. Hegerla, of Green
Bay, the owner of 22o acres Of land
which will be flooded by the dam at
keokuk.
The company called on Deputy Sher-
if Datin to appoint a commission to
appraise the land and assess the dam
age to follow it's overflow. The pro-
cedure is under the same section of
Iowa law as in the O'Harra case at
Keokuk.
But Hegerla is well-to-do land
owner and there is no doubt that
the matter will go to the court of last
resort in this instance. The water
power lawyers say they devoutly
hope 1t will, to settle once for all
the reports given the Green Bay
farmers that the company does not
have the right of eminent domain in
Iowa.
The company offered Hegerla 81
500 formally, and it is understood
raised that figure once during the
negotiations. Hegerla would not take
less than s13,5oO and the condemna
ton proceedings started.
The amount involved is enough tc
transfer the case to the federal courts
should either party desire to 10 80
The route will be from the sheriff's
commission to the district court ant
then into the Iowa supreme court, OF
else into the federal court a keo

peals and the United States supreme
court.

The 0skaloosa property has been
taken over by the bidders as expect
ed by those who knew the inside of

On the day the Review gave out the
story it was also stated in the article
that the local interurban committee,
#. d. Foster, chairman, was TO hold
a called meeting that afternoon which
they did and were gratitied at the
outlook as developed in a discussion.
This committee was informed by Mr..
Foster of the Oskaloosa deal pending
and that Ottumwa would be in a po-
sition perhaps, to get benefit from the
contamination thereof and with con-
siderable money, about $4,000, on
hand the chances were something

through. Ottumwa may wake up
some of these mornings and find a
