BranSOn
Leases Road
GETS BIG CREEK LINE
Has Timber For Three To -Four
Years Operations

During the last few days a deal has
been consumated that will mean
much to such of the homesteaders in
the Big Greek country as have not
already disposed of their timber,
The Milwaukee Lumber company
has about finished cutting all of the
timber which they owned In that ter
rltory and we're intending to pull out
their logging railroad. It had been
sta ed that they would be through by
the middle or last of this month when
the steel would come up. which
would put a stop to all logging opera
tlons In that section.
G. A. BrRnson has been logging
further up the creek beyond the Mil
waukee Lumber company and bring
ing out his logs over the company's
logging railroad, and few days ego
he closed a contract with them where
by he leased the railroad for four
years aud will use 1t for the h hsul
ing out of logs
Mr.. Branson has secured large
amount of burned over white pine in
the forest reserve and has also pur-
chased two or three sections of green
timber from r G. Davies Of the Rut-
ledge Timber company. Besides these
be has purchased the timber of a
large number of the homesteaders,
all tributary to this road.
Taking it all together he has tim
Der enough to keep him busy logging
for frUm three to four years, and the
deal means that Big Greek will con-
tinue for the next three OF four years
to be the busiest logging center In
this vicinity.
lt also means that Herrick will
continue on the map aud be one of
the best little towns 10 these parts
for the next three or four years at
least. IL also means that such of the
settlers as have not already sold their
timber can do so or IL they prefer
can log It themselves and have a way
to get their logs to market.
In speaking about his deal for the
railroad Mr.. Brauson said that he
had leased the railroad outright and
would run It himself and the Mil.
waukee Lumber company would have
nothing to do With its management.
lie further stated that be had not
sold OF contracted to sell his logs to
the Milwaukee Lumber company OF
to any other company. That they
would be ia the market for sale to
the person or company offering the
best price.

spoke last night at reception given

ciety. Mr.. Wright's statement while
it is encouraging, does not hold out any
hope of perfect stabilizer in the
near future. Here is what he says:
1T is premature to say anything at
present about a stabilizer. We have
worked for years to take the manag-
ing of the machine out Of the hands of
man and let the operator attend to the
steering alone. We think We have a
device which will accomplish this. 1t
will take care of the collateral and

FIGHT FOR FEDERAL
JOB GETS BITTER
DEMOCRATS OF NORTHERN IOWA
IN MAD SCRAMBLE FOR THE
OFFICE OF MARSHALL.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-The
fight for the marshalship in the north
ern district of Iowa has been accen-
tuated by the arrival here of e. X.
Moore of Anamosa. Moore recently
projected himself into the ring, after
having given his support to his fellow
townsman, Sheriff w. A. Hogan of
Jones county.
In the northern district the situation
seems to be anything to beat Hogan
and at the present time it looks as
though Hogan is beaten.
Hogan has the unanimous indorSe-
ment of the Iowa democratic delegation
in congress, State Chairman Reed, and
National Committeeman Wade, as well
as a host of democrats throughout the
state.
The fight on him was started by Earl
Bronson of Spencer, secretary to the
state committee. Bronson made up his
mind at the start that Hogan was the
man he had to beat and when Hogan
was recommended. he got busy and
attacked the latter's democracy.
The entrance of Moore has so COM
plicated matters that what was re-
garded as merely ripple in the puddle
has become quite tidal wave. Person.
alities and incrimina tons are being in
dulged in. Senators from Iowa and oth-
er states are being wired about the sit
uatiOn. Everyone who will have any
thing to do either with the appointing
or confirmation of the marshal is being
swamped
Hogan has the reputation of being
the best sheriff in Iowa, as far as the
actual court work is concerned, but his
enemies say he has always been too
much of Hogan Democrat and not
enough of a party man.
Both he and Moore, his fellow towns
man. were original Wilson men and
both were active in the campaign of the
state central committee.
The president is expected to clear up
tn Iowa situation before Christmas,
but there is no telling whether he will
or not. He was expected to do so last
spring, but he didn't
The most authoritative information
that can be gained here , is that Dan
Hamilton will be made district attorney
and Nick Reed marshal in the south
ern district Senators in the republican
party have been sounded as to their
acceptability, confirmation fight on
grounds other than political being OBJ
noxiJus to the administration.
What effect Judge Wade's last ditch
fight for Claud Porter will have is I'M
certain There is a possibility he may
yet land Porter, but the cards appear to
be stacked for Hamilton.
