Waterloo, Sept. LIT was about
twenty years ago when James j. Joyce
decided that the world had more in
store for him than a $50 month JOB
and farm hands existence and Went
to the kiondike. Jim Yesterday con-
fessed that when he started for the
north ne had expectations OF picking
up gold mine without the least
trouble. I never found that gold
mine, stated Mr.. joyce, but l picked
UP about $4,000 cash money during my
twenty years n the Nome country, ana

around fo- gold mines and ABOUT al!
they own consists OF pack and few

The story Of Mr.. Joyce's struggles
during The first few years OF his stay
in Alaska is interesting. He lett MS
job on a farr. near Denver in the
spring OF 1894 and joined the great
army that was hurry!ng 20 the goio
country. He arrived in Nome in June.

Des Moines. Sept. 10 The failure
Of Iowa 10 keep up with the procession
in regard TO railroad regulation has
been disclosed in reference 20 the
wreck on the DEBORAH branch OF the
Rock Island and the helplessness OF
the railroad commission in regard to
such matters. Accident reports are
filed with the commission, but there is
no way 70 follow up and see what may
be the cause
Iowa alone Of a large group Of states
is without any engineering department
connected with the commission. The
interstate commerce commission has
an engineering force and can send out
and make investiga ton OF the conoi-
ton Of a track or a bridge and set a
report that means something The
same is true OF the commissions in the
states OF Minnesota, Nebraska. Wis
consin, Missouri. Oklahoma, Texas and
Kansas. But Iowa has made 10 pro-
vision for inspection OF tracks nor Is
there any member OF the commission
or empIoye thereof who would be re-
garded as a specialist in this work.
Federal Engineer Called.
AS soon as the serious accident at
Maynard on the DEBORAH branch OF
the Rock Island was reported the COM
mission set out TO make such inveSt!2a-
ton as il could and has rot yet con-
Guided the inquiry. Chairman Thorne
is this week at the scene Of the acct
dent accompanied by an engineer from,
the inspection force % the Interstate
commerce commission. An appeal TO
the interstate commission was the OIL!
way that Iowa could secure az eSarli-
nation OF the scene OF the accident oy
an engineer Next week II IS planned
that Commissioner Kstchum and
Dwight Lewis, assistant commerce
counsel. VIII go over the entire De-
corah branch with view 10 making
report on It's physical condition. when
is reported to be very Dad.
Out Of this may also grow q general
of the branch lines Of vari-
Gus companies in Iowa. The railroad
companies have not sought TO conceal
the fact that their branch lines are
not in as good condition a 5 they ought
to be and the Rock Island especially
has promised 10 improve me track and
equipment
But Iowa has no organized and
systematic inspection service Of irs
own.
