cut east OF town, and another heavy
grade against eastbound trains At
Luzerne, will be extended as q third
track to Tama, and from where the
proposed cutoff joins the main double
track line between Blairstown and
Watkins. a parallel third track to the
Bertram Otis cutoff south Of Cedar
Rapids, thence the proposed CUTOFF to
avoid the Mt. Vernon hill, and then
the main line again as
third track to Clinton. Thus there
would be an excellent low grade route
for cast bound freights, which on ac-
count Of the very heavy traffic on the
Belle PLANE to Clinton division. Is very
badly needed. The deep cut east Of
Belle Plaine can not be lowered as
there is quick sand below. This cut Is
now about 100 feet deep. The North
western has third track most Of the
distance from Chicago to Clinton, and
the tonnage Is smaller on that section
of track than from Clinton to Belle
PLANE.

CONDITION IDEAL FOR CROPS.
Director Chapel. Of Weather and Crop
Service, Optimistic.

Des Moines. Feb. 19.--Conditions
never were more ideal for crop year
than they are at the present time. in
the opinion OF DR. George NJ. Chapel,
section director OF the Iowa weather
and crop service.
These conditions exist because OF the
large amount of snow that has COW
cred the ground since Christmas and
the extreme cold weather during .ac
early part of January
"The round was frozen to depth
of only two or three inches when the
first snow came" said DR.. Chappei,
THE snow has acted as a blanket. pre-
venting the ground from freezing any
deeper. and as result OF 1t the frost
will leave early and allow all of the
ground to absorb all OF the snrinc
moisture.
"In the fall Of 1909 and in many
other years, a freeze usually follows
rain storm, which covers the ground
with a coating OF ice. This Is covered
by snow and as a result OF II no air
space is left between the ground ana
the Ice The lack of air causes the
grass to smother, causing shortage
Of pasture the ensuing summer
Extreme cold weather disintegrates
the soil which makes 1t easier for the
farmer to cultivate. and puts 1t in bet
ter condition for the raising of I'LL
crops" he added.
"AIl these favorable conditions exist
M the present time, and If we have an
ordinary spring and summer with nor
NAL precipitations. farmers of Iowa VIII
raise tho biggest crop in the history OF
the state.

The Federal Construction Company
asks for two franchises from the Mus
catine city council. one for building a
street railway system about ten miles
long, and another for bringing the
proposed Moscow canal thru the east
end of town from Isett avenue to the
river. The ordinances granting the
franchise were placed on their first
reading and will be discussed further
at another meeting OF the council to be
held this evening. There Is rumor
to the effect that the company wishing
to build the canal would also like to
secure the local street railway system,
but that the owners OF the system want
a price which the canal people are not
willing to pay. 1t is claimed they
could build a new line cheaper, and
desire to secure franchise in order to
bring pressure to bear to induce the
sale. According to statements made by
officers of the Federal Construction
Company the proposed canal will cost
about $6.000,000. It wifi develop 10000
