An interesting story of pork steal
ing comes from Barretts Ferry, in
the northern part of the county. A
farmer of that community had a hog
to die from disease and dressed the
carcass for use in the spring soap
making. After cutting up the hog the
farmer left it overnight on the meat
bench to cool out. During the night
some thief entered the meat house
and stole all of the hog except one
shoulder. 1t would be interesting tC
know the state of nausea of the
thief's stomach when later he learn
ed that the stolen hog had died OF
cholera.

THE FLOYDS, magicians, who are
to be the next entertainers in the

have arranged a program for this
season consisting of tricks and illu-

7 When the other, general controversy
was UP 1t was computed that the IL
per cent boost would have meant an
crease in the revenues OF the railroads
affected OF about $27.00O.0O0 annually.
The raise sought now would be hai'
of that amount.
II the Iowa commission takes hand
it will not be to fight a raise nor ar
pi.rarily 10 resist the plan, but to make
sure that all the facts are known ana
fully develor cd before the interstate
commerce commission acts. The raise
may be fully justified. On the other
hearing is was shown that In 1910 the
income OF the railroads was about
s90,0OO,OOO more that year than they
had ever been in any previous year.
and s400.0o0,0o0 more than they were
ten years before.

IOWA NOTIFIED THAT EASTERN
ROADS PLAN MATERIAL
INCREASE.
AFFECTS PEOPLE OF WEST
MORE THAN THOSE OF EAST
Roads Want S Per Cent Raise on All
Glasses Of Freight HandIed-lowa
Commission Will Join in Hearing But
Will Not Oppose Unless Advance 10
Shown to Sc Unealied For.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moincs. May 3.--Another big
controversy over railroad rates is
scheduled for early attention, accord
ing to advices from the east, and it Is
morally certain that the Iowa shippers
and consumers by and thru the state
railroad commission will get into the
game to see that there is fair play and
announcement is to the effect that the
railroads have decided upon asking j
5 per cent fiat raise in rates in eastern
or Official classification territory.
The last time move was made for a
general advance in rates was three or
four years ago when the railroads
sought permission of the interstate
commission to make 10 per cent
raise and it was refused.
At the time of the former application
for a boost in rates the fight to have
the mater fully aired before a decision
was reached was led by the western
livestock and farming interests, and
while the raise is on eastern roads 1t
affects the people of the west more
than any other raise could.
The rate department OF the Iowa
commission. for whose work the leg
islature has just made an appropria-
ton of $4,000, made an information
investigator yesterday and reported
that q raise in rates in the eastern ter
ritory would affect Iowa more than a
raise in the western territory would.
There is very much more freight that
comes across the Mississippi river than
that which crosses the Missouri. and
far more of the stuff that Iowa people
pay for and use comes from the At
lantic seaboard than comes from Chi
cago or the west.
Big Sum Involved.
The magnitude of this case exceeds
that of any other case before the COM
mission in the money involved. Ac-
cording to the statement Of Mr.. VIII
lard on behalf of the eastern or trunk
line roads, they will ask for a raise OF
per cent on all freight handled. The
revenues OF these roads last year
amounted follower 1907, 100000. The
per cent fflcrease would thus give them
$40, 0O0, O0Oea iyearoadditional revenue
When the bther rate controversy was
up it was computed the advance asked
would be worth s27,0Oo,000 a year to
the roads. 1t was only to be on class
