Denies Automobiles
Hinder Railroads

NEW YORK. Nov. ID. A. Num-
roe. General freight agent of the Union
Pacific. does not agree with the recent
statement OF Howard Elliott. presi-
dent OF the Northern Pacific. that the
automobile is hurting the passenger
business of the railroads.
He said yesterday that everything
that makes for the convenience OF the
people is for the general good. in
which the railroads must Share iuevi-
tabiy.
The automobile. he added, he re-
CARDS as one of the four factors in
our modern life contributing to the
general convenience morn than any
other factors. the other three being
the electric light the telephone and
the bathtub.
Automobiles he said. mean good
roads. Good roads mean that the
farmer can get his produce to market
from sections heretofore unavailable.
The more such factors we have for
the development Of the country the
better OFF the railroads are, despite
any trining loss they may suffer in
local passenger traffic on Saturdays
and Sundays because people use auto
mobiles for short excursions"
Speaking of business in the Union
Pacific's territory, Munroe said 1t was
excellent.

Hens and Automobiles.

Faint hearted people who have
feared that the automobile craze was
going to ruin Iowa financially ought
to cheer UP. The chicken and egg
crop of the state will furnish all
the money that is expended for autos
and their up-keep. The value of
the egg crop in Hamilton county,
according to the returns of the as
SCISSORS, is approximately 100000 a
year. The state raises annually more
than twenty-three million chickens
and as Hamilton county is probably
an average county in chicken produc-
ton the county produces approx
mately two hundred and thirty thou
sand every year. Estimating these
chickens at fifty cents seventy
FIVE cents would be nearer their val
ue-we have an annual income from
this source of fifteen thousand, MAX
ing total for chickens and eggs In
Hamilton county alone of two hun
Dire aid siXty-five thousand dollars.
That sum will buy two hundred ST.
900 automobiles and run them for a
year. Probably the average price OF
autos is not more than one thousand
dollars, as they vary from six hun
cred to two thousand dollars, with
the majority at or near the one thou
sand dollar mark. There are many
more of the cheaper cars sold. Some
say that of the cars in use In Iowa
and probably in Hamilton county, at
least one-third are Fords, which cost
from six hundred to seven hundred
dollars, according TO the kind. Web

FIRE LOSS TWO MILLIONS.
State Fire MarsIal's Report Shows
That Fires i'm State for FIRST
Six Months Cost Loss
OF S2.36O,OSS.

More than 100000 worth of un-
insured property in Iowa was de-
stroyed by fire during the first six
months of the year. This is only
one-fourth Of the total fire loss for
the same period, the total being
$2,360,0SS. Between January LIST,
1912. and July LIST, 1912, there were
1856 fires reported to State Fire
Marshal Ole o. Roe, and over $10,-
100000 worth of property in the
state more or less damaged. Out of
this number, insurance was carried
on all, though in many cases not
nearly enough to cover the loss, ex-
cept in 1872 fires where there was no
insurance at all. Dwellings to the
number of 74S were reported burned
during the period covered by the re-
port. Fires in stores numbered 1873,
in barns is, in restaurants %, in
school houses %, in hotels II, in
meat markets 10, in churches IL, in
grain elevators and garages, 10 each.
Three hundred and seventy-one
fires were of unknown origin, PA
caught from sparks. from flues, 176
came from defective flues, 80 caught
from adjoining buildings, AZ from
carelessness with gasoline, 81 from
lightning, 20 incendiary, "a spon-
taneous combustion, and "a over
heated stove pipes.
The number of fires increased al
most an even hundred over the pre-
ceding six months. Fire of incen-
diary origin decreased so per cent.
During the past year four persons
h IN, %at
itentiary for incendiarism, two SEN
fenced to county jails and one fined,
and a boy sent to the industrial
school. Three were sent TO the in
ebriate asylum, and one to the state
insane asylum for having criminal
parts in fires. Several indictments
secured by the state fire marshal and
his aides were still pending.
