Electricity supRlants Steam.
Special to Times Republican.

Hampton, Nov. 29.-Two electric
motors were installed at the city pump
ing station several weeks ago. with
which to do the pumping. in place OF
the steam plant. and a careful test was
made Of their cost as compared with
steam. The result Is favorable to the
use of electricity. SO much so that the
motors are to be retained and further
tests made. 1t is thought that with
slight changes a considerable amount
can be saved the city monthly on the
expense Of the pumping station.
So confident is the management OF
the electric company here that ma
sterial saving can be made. that flat
rate of $3.50 per month has been Of
fered the city for power including rem
tai of the motors and electrical equip
ment, as well as light for the plant
This offer has been accepted for a linn
tied time, and 1t is under that arrange
sment the pumping is now being done
City officials are pleased at the pros
pect of the saving.

Favor-Activs Work Probable When
Spring opsns-DoubIs Track Needed.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 29.-The recent
order placed by the receiver of the
Rock Island railroad for 10000 tons OF
steel for early spring delivery is be-
lieved in railroad circles to be the first
of a general plan of rehabilitation
which is to be carried out by the re-
ceicereto restore the Rock Island to its
former prestige. 1t is also thought that
this order is the forerunner Of series
OF improvement plans which will
eventuate in the double tracking of g
line thru Iowa.
The need of two tracks to handle
satisfactorily the companys traffic be-
tween Denver and Chicago has been
felt for some time and especially dur
ing the past summer has this need
been felt thru both the eastern and
western parts OF Iowa.
During brisk periods Of business
when the Rock Island is moving So
many trains as has been the case dur
ing the past summer, when travel to
the exposition was so heavy and when
there was q CORRESPONDENCE good
movement of freight, two tracks would
have greatly facilitated the handling OF
the business.
Under its formed financial handicaps
the road has been trying to overcome
traffic difficulties by gradually putting
in an elaborate system of side tracks
To connect these sidings eventually
was the plan Of the old regime. But at
the rate these improvements were be-
ing made, it would have been years
before the changes were completed.
While the high officials of the road
have as yet made no announcement OF
their plans. it is thought that the com
ing spring will see active work in
progress on the extensive improvement
of the Rock Island system in this state
Local officials say that a great dea
depends upon the early adjustment OF
the company's financial difficulties.
