Iowa Falls. March s.-Unusual IN
tcrest is taken in this part of the state,
in the report that the Chicago 4
Northwestern road has sent a party OF
surveyors in the field to run line from
Eagle Grove to Alden. the present
terminus of the Iowa Falls division of
that road.
Ever since the Northwestern ac-
quired the old Chicago, Iowa & Dako-
ia road which was built from Eldora
Junction to Alden by the Porters many
years ago. 1t has been persistently ru-
mored that the road would eventually
build the connecting line from Alden
to Eagle Grove or Burt. division
points on the Northwestern system.
The statement that the surveyors are
working out of Eagle Grove in the di-
rection of Alden is construed as mean
ing that the link" may be built this
year and thus afford the road cut
off for it's Dakota Chicago business
which now goes east via Jewell. The
distance between Eagle Grove and AL
den is thirty or thirty five miles. and
the proposed route passes thru fine
agricultural country that is not tapped
by. railroads. Two or three stations
would naturally develop on the extern
sion and one of these would probably
be near Wall Lake, body of water
that has for years been the hunting
grounds for hundreds of sportsmen in
central and northern Iowa.
Surveys Once Made.
Some years ago the late E. S. ELS
worth, of this city, was much inter-
ested in the extension Of the c.. !. & D.
to some point in northern or north
western IowaI and had accurate surveys
of the line made and considerable of
the right -of-way was contracted for.
Later he interested himself in the
building Of then Short Line to Des
Moines and the other extension was
dropped for some reason. A year or SC
ago, the old right -of-way which the
Porters had acquired when the road
was originally built, reverted to the
original owners thru statute of limita-
ton, and 1T was then thought the
Northwestern had abandoned the pro-
ject entirely. This move, however. has
revived interest in the matter and it
is thought the road will put thru the
extension with view to relieving the
congestion that often retards traffic
at Jewell. the junction OF Northwest
'ern east AND west and north and south
lines. If the Hne@is built, as now
seems probable, this would become the
main line for traffic from the Da-
kotas to Chicago, with a division from
Eagle Grove to Tama. The farmers
along the proposed line are greatly in
favor of the road being built and it is
said much of the right of way will be
donated.

Affection Causes Docs Death.

Natural affection on the part of
dog was instanced in a remarkable
manner at Beaumont, in the province
of Soane-et -Loire, France, a few days
ago. One of the inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest to gather
firewood, taking with him the dog,
which he left to guard his coat and
basket OF food while he wandered
about gathering wood. In his absence
the dog gave birth to three puppies.
and the wood gatherer, when he start
ed home, forgot to place the puppies
in the cart with their mother. During
the night the dog jumped over a fence
and ran the whole distance, some ten
miles, to the spot where the puppies
had been left, and brought one back
in her mouth. Then she made two
more journeys in order to bring back
the other two. Altogether she COW
cred a distance of about sixty miles
in the night. The next morning her
master found her dead in the yard
by the side of her puppies, which were
alive and we'll.
