Des Moines, Sept. 17.-Iowa's rep
utation and fame as an agricultural
and live stock state is evidently at
tracing the attention Of big farmers
all thru the country and is resulting in
their looking to Iowa for good breeding
stock as well as good seeds for agricul-
tural work. Some important purchases
Of dairy cattle are now being made by
New Mexico farmers and recently a
Texas firm made extensive purchases
of Angus cattle down in Iowa county.
D. G. Trigg and son Stephen, men,
bers of a firm which conducts an enor-
nous ranch comprising more than six
hundred thousand acres in the Pan
handle county, recently visited Iowa
county and bought sixty head Of Angus
cattle, paying an average price of 1925
per head. This Texas ranch is among
the oldest in Texas and it's property
represents millions of dollars invested
in breeding beef. The ranch is now
stocked with $4,000 head Of Angus cat
tie, all pure bred or high grades.
Mr.. Trigg regards the outlook for
the cattle industry as exceedingly
promising. He thinks the men now
engaged in the cattle breeding indus
try are in lire for handsome returns
on their investments. He was not
able to buy as many Angus cattle as
he wanted and plans to return in Octo-
Der.
In the case brought by the Lisle
Manufacturing Company and other
business concerns Of Clarinda before
the state railway commission asking
that switching arrangements be ar
quired between the Burlington railroad
at Chrinda and the Iowa Southwest
ern the board has ruled that such ar
rangements be made between the two
roads.
Heretofore there has been no inter-
change of cars by these two roads at
Clarinda Of shipments consigned to
Clarinda. There are number of fac
tories along the tracks Of both lines,
especially the Burlington, and the
owners were anxious to have an inter-
change Of switching of freight cars

ceived bids on the moving Of the SOL
diers' monument from its present 10
cation at Tenth and Walnut streets to
Thirteenth and Capitol, the site desig-
mated by the landscape artist. One firm
has made bid of $39,750, and an
other $4,000. The contract has not
been awarded. however. as there is
difference Of opinion as to whether or
not the capitol extension act, as passed
by the legislature, made provision for
this.
Governor Clarke is inclined to the
opinion that It will require special act
Of the legislature to provide for the
removal Of this monument. Other
members Of the council take the posi-
ton that the capitol extension act pro-
vided for this.
The new Allison monument is being
erected within twenty feet of the soil
diers' monument. This site was chosen
because in the general scheme it will
fit better there, in the opinion of the
landscape artists. The soldiers and
sailors monument, they declare, is too
high for that location and should be
placed at Thirteenth and Capitol ave-
nue. some three blocks distant.
The foundation for the Allison
iI1a1o1luu1ac IS about completed and the
work Of erecting the monument will
proceed rapidly this fall. Moving the
soldiers monument, however, is rec
ognized as big undertaking.
Workmen are now tearing up the old
brick paving on Tenth street and
part OF Capitol avenue preparatory to
grading the new curved road. Tenth
street will be abandoned. The state
has sold some OF the paving brick at
1920 per thousand and is utilizing the
