Des Moines. May 21.-Now for the
first time in it's history the state Of
Iowa has a state game farm in full
operation.
Five hundred eggs Of desirable game
birds are now beneath good old Ply
mouth Rock hens being Matched for
first stocking Of the farm. The farm Is
in charge Of an Englishman trained all
his life in the handling of game birds.
There is anticipation at the game fam
of the results Of the first Matching ard
hope that no mishap has occurred.
More eggs of pheasants and partridge
will be secured as rapidly as possible
and all the birds will be raised that
can be got in this way.
The state game farm is on state
land which is used in part for the state
fairs. There is a piece Of rough land
lying along the south side Of the state
fair park, partly wooded and partly
cleared. admirably adapted to this pur-
pose. 1t has been fenced off and one OF
the small cottages moved to a coven-
lent place for a home for the game
keeper. E. G. Hinshaw. state game
warden, has arranged the details in
conjunction with Secretary Corey OF
the state fair.
Mr.. Hinshaw will undertake to dis
tribute to state game preserves in diff
ferent parts Of the state, from this
state game farm. the young birds that
are to populate the fields Of the state
in due time.
1$fo Of no roi1 rNo mis-
sion in continuing the hearing on the
proposed increase Of demurrage rates
in Iowa is declared to have been chiefly
for the purpose of having the COM
mission consider the additional pro-
posals for reciprocal demurrage ana
charges for delays in shipments. These
are matters which, in the opinion of the
Iowa commission, ought to be all con-
siGered as one proposal. For numoer
of years the shippers of the state tried
to induce the Legislature to pass law
requiring reciprocal demurrage, or re-
quiring that the same charge should
be laid against a railroad Tor
failure to deliver car when
wanted as against shipper Tor
failure to release a car when wanted.
This failed but the legislature did MAKE
an amendment Of the law that VIII per-
nit Of an order for this charge. Tor the
law now places on the railroads the
burden of proof of inability to proVlce
cars when ordered.
The brunt Of the fight on the deniuf-
rage proposition was born by Mr.. Mar"
tin. representing the Dubuque asso"ia-
ton of shippers, who personally con-
Quoted the preliminary hearing mere.
When the question Of reciprocal de-
murrase was brought UP 1t was agres-
on ell hands that another general near
ing should be had in the fall.
The hearing last week was on sus-

than otherwise and without expecta-

the investigation during the summer.

81 haven't heard very much criticism
of the fact Of the legislature in author
izing purchase of capitol grounds for
the state Of Iowa." said Senator James
A. White, one Of the democratic leaders
of the legislature. He said he felt that
the bill was pushed thru In haste, but
that 1t was all right
II do not feel the people OF the
state will make any objection to this
of the capitol grounds he
said. '"The state ought to get the
property at fair price and there
should be no chance for the property
owners or spectators to gouge the
state. But that is for the state officials
to look after"
Other state senators here this week
declared that they heard no storm Of
over the act OF the legis-
lature such as has been reported in
some places.
