Population of About 100.

There are nearly a hundred from
Keokuk who are camping at Snug
Harbor this summer. They are max
ing it a regular summer colony and
much prefer this mode of living for
the summer time to spending the
heated term in the city.
AS is only natural there is some
jealousy between the residents of thu
two sides Of the harbor. The north
siders and the south siders are very
seriously consid ering issuing a chal
lenge to each other to meet in a base
ball game or a regatta or something
equally as bloodthirsty in the chance
of deciding the championship of the
colony. ..

RATE FIGHT MAY
COME OVER TROOPS
Adjutant Genera, Logan Has Turned
Down Bids Offered for Guard
Transportation.

Iowa's 5000 troops may be hauled
to Des Moines for cent a mile each
way, says the Des Moines Capital.
Bids for hauling the state troops
for Camp Dodge on August 9 vera
opened by Adjutant General Guy e.
Logan. All bids were rejected and
the result may involve the govern
ment directly In an Iowa rate war.
Five leading Iowa roads entering
Des Moines were represented by the
local passenger chiefs. They were
the Milwaukee, Rock Island, Mime
apolis & st. Louis, the Chicago &
North Western and the Burlington.
The Milwaukee, Rock Island and
North Western made the rate for tho
short line haul cents per mile both
ways. This is cents per mile for
the round trip on the short line hauls.
The roads with the longer haul to
Des Moines would have been forced to
meet the short line rate. In other
words, the rate for 100 miles would
be 81. A road with a longer line
could not under this rate get more
than 81 for the haul.
The railroads were informed that
the bids wou1d be rejected and that
the haul would be given to the roads
having land grants. This will COM
pei the roads to carry the soldiers
for i cent per mile. This the roads
do not want to do.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
IN DIREST POVERTY
Iowa Concerns Claim Parcel Post Has
Knocked Props from Under
Them.

Des Moines Capital: The express
companies operating in Iowa will get
reductions in taxes if any public SER
vice corporations are to get them at
the hands of the executive council.
according to their arguments before
the council today.
Express companies claim the parcel
post has literally knocked the props
from under the express business. The
Wells Fargo representatives told the
state officials that their stock value
has decreased from 24O to 80 per
cent, all due to the parcel post. Tele-
graph companies will be satisfied If
the council does not raise their as
sessments so they informed the mem.
bers this morning.

MORE SAFETY FIRST
MEASURES ARE USED
Santa Fe to Reminder all Stock
Cars to Avoid Risks to
Men.

That the Santa Fe Is willing to
spend large sums of money to furth-
er the safety of the employees is evil
dent by the letter sent out by the
general offices to the effect that $780,
600 win be spent in REMEMBERING the
systems stock cars. The letter also
contained a number of excellent hints
to the members of the safety COM
mittee.
At the present time all the num-
bers on the stock cars are placed near
the top of the car. This is done on
account of the necessity OF providing
plenty Of ventilation in the cars by
building the sides OF slab wood.
When a conductor or car checker
takes the number of a car he often
| times has to step to the middle OF
the next track to secure the number.
. The securing of the numbers of the
| cars is a necessarily and can not be
avoided.
When the employee steps to the CEN
ter OF the next track his mind Is I'M
doubtedly occupied with his work and
nine times out Of ten he would fall
to notice whether another train or en-
CINE is approaching on that track.
This matter was brought up in a meet
ing about month ago and that things
! Of this nature are acted upon immed-
lately is evident by the letter received.
The letter is copy originally sent to
IL Hale, safety commissioner of the
Santa Fe, and is signed by Mr.. Storey,
vice president of the road. It is
therefore authoritative. The letter ex.
plains that the REMEMBERING OF the
cars will cost at least $4,000, and
the work will have to be done when
the cars pass through the shops for
repairs. There are thousands of tiese
cars on the Santa Fe and the work
will consume considerable time. An.
iother thing will also be remedied. The
tare weights which are painted on the
ends of the cars are invariably on
| the end of the car opposite where the
numbers are painted. This causes a
less of time on the Part of the EN-.
lployes as they have to walk the en-
| tire length Of the car to secure the
weights. These weight cards are to be
moved to the end Of the car where the
number is located.
