Dubuque.
Rumor has it that the Dubuque
liquor interests and Dubuque liquor
consumers are not going to be outdone
by the state prohibition law after Jan.
I. A plan by means OF which the local
interests hope to ship beer into the
state and into this city, and deliver 1t
to the very door OF the consumer is
being Matched out now. A comm on
carrier. or express company licensed
to man. interstate shipments will he
organized and will have the power to
make shipments Of beer or other in
toxicating liquors into the state Du-
buque and East Dubuque. (Ill), will
be the terminals of the lire. Several
weeks ago the Dubuque Industrial
Corporation sent in to Washington a
petition asking that the port Of Du-
buque be increased in size and that it
take in East Dubuque. H.. as part
of this port No word has been re-
ceived from McAdoo as yet but it is
expected daily. and further the local
men have received assurances. it Is
claimed. that the prayer of the petit
ton will be granted by the secretary
Of the treasury. On the surface this
proposed enlargement Of this port does
not appear above passing interest but
when it is learned that the idea was
promulgated merely for the benefit of
the local liquor interests it becomes
more interesting.

sioner Auiher in Dissenting Opinion.

Des Moines Oct. 5.-Electric COM
panies to secure franchises for high
tension lines in Iowa must agree to
construct their lines so as not to in
terfere with telephone systems now in
service. according to a ruling made
yesterday by the Iowa railroad com.
mission.
Altho the railroad commission has
no control over the telephone lines. by
majority opinion it has ruled that the
hundred of farmers telephone lines
Of the state shall not be rendered USE
less by the construction of high ten
sion lines. Commissioners Thorne and
Wilson Join in the majority opinion.
Commissioner Guiher dissents
Affects Non. metallic Circuits.
In the dissenting opinion, MIR. Guiher
holds that the electric companies are
privileged to construct lines wherever
the railroad commission directs. re-
CARELESS of the telephone lines which
already occupy the highways.
According to the information placed
before the commission. most of the
farmers telephone lines are not con-
structed with metallic circuit The
placing of electric lines near the sys-
TENS render them useless. the farmers
complained. However, the difficulty
can be overcome by making each line a
metallic circuit. the experts say.
May String New Wires.
The ruling of the commission pro-
vides that electric companies may
either construct their lines thru the
country so as not to interfere with the
farmers lines as they are at present.
or they may pay the expense Of re-
constructing the telephone lines. The
latter can be done for about 5000 per
line. it is said.
The ruling is made in the case of
the Sumner Light & Power company.
This company petitioned for fran
chise to construct a high tension line
from Sumner to Hawkeye The COM
mission says it can build the line but
that the telephone lines already using
the highways in that vicinity have
priority rights which must be re-
spected.
