Commission Makes Move.
Dubuque. Sept. 10.-The Allison
Henderson Memorial Fund Commits
sion proposes at an early date to final
ly determine what the memorial shall
be, where it shall be located, etc.
There have been so many suggestions
made to the commission, many Of them
good ones, and the SUCCESSORS have
been SO insistent that their particular
idea is the right one that the members
of the commission have been unable to
arrive at any definite conclusion.
AT meeting of the board Of direc-
tors of the commission. held at the
Dubuque club. it was determined to
get some professional advice on the
subject Accordingly letters were
written to Charles Hulford Robinson,
of Rochester. y. Y; Harvard univer-
sity, department of landscape archi-
lecture; Post & Company, landscape
architects. New York: Daniel H. Bon
ham, landscape artist. Chicago, and
w. Nolen. landscape artist, Cam
bridge, Mass. These men and con-
Germs have been asked for estimates Of
cost of coming to Dubuque, making a
study of the situation, etc, and to
make recommendation as to the nature
of the proposed memorial, it's location,
etc.
1t is agreed that the commission can
well afford to spend several hundred
dollars for such advice. 1t will then
be able to adopt memorial and prop
erly locate it without seeming to ar
bitrarily adopt this or that memorial
or this or that location.

the balance on the other side. The
statement OF extreme variations in the
supply of cars shows that there were
shortages in 1907, 1909. 1912 and in
october. 1913. The rapidity of the fuc-
tuation of the supply of cars, accord
ing to the demand is illustrated by the
fact that on Sept. Is. 1913, there was
surplus of 1856 cars and on Oct.
Is of the same year there was a short
age of 1925 cars.
The last two years, however. have
seen large SURPRISES. On June l, 1914,
the surplus was 24e,572 cars and on
March !, 1915, it was 322,290, the larg-
est surplus recorded. These facts are
taken 70 indicate that shortages are
showing a tendency 10 decrease in Sc

visions by the railroads for handling
all of the grain that is to be moved
this fall.
Banks Forecast.
The September issue Of the general
letter on trade conditions and the busI-
ness forecast of the Cedar Rapids Ma
tional Fank contains the following
tatement: "On the first OF the month
(SepIemperp Idle cars numbered sGi,
600 as compared with 27s.o0O month
previous and $1,000 a year ago. An
increase in idle box cars was largely
due to lighter grain shipments but
considerable decrease was reported in
idle coal cars and flats
Only the box cars are used for the
transportation of grain shipments and
the supply of these is agreed by rail-
road men to be plentiful at this time.
The demand for coal cars and flats is
increasing steadily, they say.

Cedar Rapids. Sept. l0.-Freight cars
are TO be plentiful this year if the
various freight officials are correct IN
their estimate of the number of cars

The more efficient handling of rolling
stock and the increased number OF

grain, and the possibility OF a lighter
crop remove any danger OF car
