Grinnell, March 25.-Supervisor j. J.
Corrough is authority for the state
ment that the contract for the steel
bridges to be built in the county this
year was let to Don s. Carpenter at a
meeting held in the Citizens Bank of
this city He says there was no COM
petitive bidding and that no other con-
tractor had submitted bid nor was
any other contractor present at that
meeting. Supervisor Corrough Is also
authority for the statement that, at a
meeting held In Montezuma a week
earlier, Mr.. Stark asked to submit
figures on steel bridges but was given
no satisfaction. Auditor Mckee, Of
is authority for the state
ment that there is no record on his
books of any special meeting for this
purpose in Grinnell. The matter thus
seems to be little mixed and the tax
payers seem to be mystified and seek

The banquet of the Harvard Club OF

INSECTS DO BIG DAMAGE.
Destroy Ten Per Cent Of Agricultural
Products Of United States.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March 25.-Dr Frank G. Pei
lett. state bee Inspector and ,promi-
nent bee and insect authority, in an
address before the Iowa State College
Agriculture Club, asserted that 10 per
cent o. the agricultural products of the
United States are ruined by insects.
His lecture dealt with the relation OF
birds. insects. etc, to man. The
United States department of agricul-
ture also has estimated, that 10 per
cent of the annual crops is destroyed
by insects, ana one Of it's most trouble
some problems is the determination
of noxious bugs. On the estimate Of
10 per cent, Story county pays s6,00O.-
900 to 100000 annually to the raw
aging insects.
The lecture was illustrated by slides
which We're reproduced from photo
grophs made in connection with his

points the way for a use of green pas

Dee Meinss Winsoih OSntreversy with
Traetielt Tine.


Des Moines. March 24.-The long
fight of the city of Des Moines against
the Des Moines City Railway Com
court Of Iowa decided that the company
Is operating without franchise. The
decision Is declared by attorneys to be
one OF the most important rendered.
In lengthy opinion, written by JUS
tice Horace Deemer. the court holds
that the franchise Of the company en-
pired Jan. 1. 1898. Operation since that
time has been only by sufference Of the
city. not by right to the use OF the
streets.
Holding that it has power to issue
the final order. the court directed that
the company secure a new franchise,
sell its property to the city, or remove
1t from the streets within a two year
period, beginning Sunday.
The case was begun nine years ago
and has been continuously in the dis
trict and supreme courts Of the federal
and state governments ever since that
time. 1t was probably one Of the most
important ever presented to the SUI
preme court of Iowa to decide.
The whole controversy was based on
the question of whether the company
held a perpetual franchise. The ruling
of the court was specific and far reach
ing, 1t declared that the Turner fran
chise, under which the company
claimed its perpetual rights, was an
exclusive franchise for thirty years
and that 1t ended at the end of that
period. The court went further and
ruled that the city had no right to
grant perpetual franchise. The rul-
ing was substantiated with lengthy ar
guments and citation OF numerous cases
in which similar points were in
volved.
The company had claimed that per-
petual rights We're given or implied in
the wording OF the original ordinance.
The court ruled that the only thing the
ordinance said specifically was that the
company should have the exclusive
right for thirty years. In the absence
OF express provision giving it perpetual
rights the company was not entitled
to claim them, the court said.
The case had come to the supreme
court from the district court of Dallas
county There, Judge J. H. Applegata
had decided in favor of the street rail-
way, ana Nan lnt!!!2ted tH2t nc tnOGSnt
the companN's franchise would terlni-
nate with the termination of the life
OF the corporation. The supreme court
showed by argument thar this rning
was errCheous.
The court recognized that the COM
panys continuing in the streets since
its franchise expired and its obeyance
Of orders of the city council entitled it
to consideration and the two year per-
iod was provided.

Des Moines. March 25.-By the resig-

position of bookkeeper for the state
board of control the state Of Iowa loses
one of its most valuable state ser

Mr.. McCown is largely responsible
personally for the books and account
ing system. He went into the office
of the board after it had been in ex-
istence about two years and he COM
pletely remodeled the system. His
resignation is because of the fact that
the state refuses to pay salaries for
it's public servants commensurate with
their value and he asked for leave
OF absence that he might visit for
some months his daughter who is in
