MILWAUKEE SELLING RoAosED.
Unique Conditions Exist at Town Of
Manning As Result Of Change
in Route Of Railroad.

Manning, May 16-The Milwaukee
railroad is selling it's old road bed
through here, which will be abandoned
as soon as the new line is completed.
Farmers who own land adjoining are
buying it and there is some talk that
a company will be organized at once
to buy the old road bed in this town
and make public park Of the same.
Some are advocating that the gravel
be procured and placed on the wagon
roads entering the town. Farmers
and .townspeople would be benefited,
in fact everyone who travelled on the
roads.
The changes in the line of the Mil
waukee railroad through this city and
vicinity which permits of the sale OF
so much railroad property, is unique
and rarely ever encountered.
The present line cuts through the
city near the south line and the new
route is through the north line OF the
city. In making the change the rail-
road abandons, within the city and
upon the east and west of town, right
of way probably aggregating more
than three miles in length and it is
property of considerable value. The
double tracking of the railroad and
consequent changes are requiring the
most extensive readjustments here
to be seen on any part of the line
through Iowa.

ANOTHER CLEAN RECORD IN THE
CANAL ZONE,

The report of the department of
sanitation of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission for September, 1913, showed
that during that month not single
white man, woman or child from the
United States had died from disease
on the Canal Zone. The report for
February, 1914 shows that another
record has been established. During
that month there were 1882 white
employees. Among this number,
equal to the population OF good siz-
ed city, there was not single death
from disease during the month. Two
white employees were killed by ac-
cident, one by electric shock and the
other by injury received on the rail
road, but no white employee, either
American or foreign, died from dis
ease during that time. AS might be
expected, the death rate among other
classes was equally low OF the $500
white employees from the United
States, there was only a single death
by violence. OF the 3.S75 white wo-
men and children from the United
States, there was one death from &C.
cidental drowning and three from dis
ease. One child, Of four years, died
from diarrhea; another, woman of
"A, died from pulmonary tuberculosis.
Out of total of 9,1S4 white American
employees and their families, there
were only three deaths from disease
and two from violence, while among
the total 1O963 Americans on the
Canal Zone, there was only single
additional death from violence, max
ing total of six deaths for the month
among nearly eleven thousand per-
sons, equal to an annual average death
rate OF 6.56 per thousand. Nor are the
benefits OF improved sanitary condi-
tions limited to white employees and
their families. In February, 1914,
there were 41,8G7 colored employees,
and among this number there were
only twenty-five deaths from disease
and six deaths from violence, making
an average death-rate from disease
of 6.31, equivalent to total annual
average death-rate, for the entire 40,
459 employees, OF 5.34 per thousand.
OF the twenty-five deaths, four were
from pneumonia, seven from tubercul-
osis and one each from organic dis
ease of the heart and typhoid fever,
leaving nine deaths from all other dis
eases. After living for five or six
years amid conditions which have pro-
duced such a startling reduction in the
death-rate, will the men who have dug
the Panama Canal be able to find any
city in the United States which is suf-
ficiently clearly and healthy for them
to live in? Let us hope. hays The

Manning People Pleased.

Manning, May 16-Despite the fact
that our principal thoroughfare is torn
up, the residents of Manning are very
we'll pleased these days for soon they
will know what 1t means to emily the
luxury of substantial pavement.
Main street in the summer time, has
been a very dusty thoroughfare these
many years, and in the spring it has
been mass of mud. Those days will
soon be over. Manning is far too
pretty a town not to welcome any
move that will add to it's attractive
ness. Now that paving has begun it
Is entirely likely it will not cease UNI
til it has extended to all the principal
streets of the town.

Every American boy ought to be en-
couraged by his parents to become
good ball player. The school teaches
him valuable facts, and order under
extraneous authority. The ball field
teaches him alertness Of thought and
order under his own individual self
control. In many lights the latter
elements seem quite as important as
the former.

If the Estimates Of the Treas.
ury Department Are Passed
by Congress.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. L.
Nearly $1G, 900, goo will be appropriat-
ed for the Ohio river by Congress at
the session which began today al
noon If the estimates of the treasury
department are adhered to-.
Secretary McAdoo OF the treasury
department today transmitted to Con-
gress estimates Of necessary appro-
priations at this session for the main
tenance Of the government. Included
in the estimates were items calling
for $500, 900 to continue improvement
work ON the Ohio river being done
under the continuing contract system
under authority Of former congress,
and $4,000 900, for other work on the
same river already authorized BY
Congress.
This Is Independent Of any appro-
priations which may be made in a
river and harbor bill and is for work
already authorized and partly under
way. No estimates are made for pub
lie buildings as the supervising archi-
tect is so far behind with work al
ready authorized that an appropria-
ton made this year could not be used
during the year anyway. But the
suggestion is made that an unexpend-
ed balances from other public build
ing be utilized In erecting new build
ings OF making additions and i'm
iprovementseto the buildings in several
cities, including Huntington and
Williamson, w. Va. An estimate O
Sc, 900 is made for temporary quarters
for federal ofdcials in Huntington
while the contemplated addition to the
federal building there is being con-
tstructed.
Among the estimates for the bureau
OF mines are the. following: For the
investigation of mine accidents $s47,-
900, for testing fuels $150, 900, and for
Of petroleum and natural
gas. with q view. to stopping waste,
$50, 900.
