Jefferson highway. When we left we
we're pretty sure Of road to st.
Cloud and felt as though we might be
willing to tie our hopes on perhaps
two ruts for the major portion Of the
way between st. Cloud and Brainerd,
but we were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The Jefferson highway from
st. Cloud to Little Falls is nearly a
perfect road, wide and well graded
and only needs gravel in spots to
make it beautiful highway.
We left Little Falls early, or as ear
~ as we wished, and expected to hit
the old two-rut sand road Of two years
ago with it's recurring water or mud
filled sinks, but in this we were again
disappointed. Instead we found one
of the prettiest pieces of well-graded
sand road it has ever been our good
fortune to travel over, and, we didn t
count the number, but there were sew;
eral road drags at work along the
highway keeping it in condition. We
found little or no gravel but the road
was as smooth as a floor for nearly
every foot of the way and cushioned
as only we'll kept natural sand-loam
road can be,

Saturday every train brought a stack

SHIPPING JUNK OF aCAN" ROAD
70 EUROPE ARGUED. S.
lCedar RAPIDS Gazette.''

Whether the Chicago, Anamcsa &
Northern railroad is to be junked and
the rails shipped to Europe and re-
laid is disputed question in this
city. The Associated Press sent
out dispatches from New York last
week to the effect that Herman Sonk-
er, Kansas City junk dealer who re-
Gently acquired the road ut forced sale,
had said the price OF old material
had reached such figure IN Europe
that he would be able to dispose OF
the junk Of the C. A. & N. ct a hand
some profit and that it was his in
rention to shin the rails and rolling
stock as soon as the rails could be
taken up.
Attorneys IN this city do not agree
On the right Df SonRer 10 junk the
read at present. un1er the Iowa laws
|a railroad is real estate provided the
company owning it owns in fee simple
the real estate on the right Of way.
and If this is the case the owners
would have a year in which to re-
Ieem tire property. On the other
hand. II. the real estate is held under
Ia grant to belong to the company as
long as the road is operated and to
revert to the original owners when the
road Is abandoned, then the railroai
becomes personal property and the
federal court has the right to permit
its sale and removal. Those who have
read the notices of sale prepared by
the federal court are not quite clear
as to their meaning. also they are not
certain whether the road is realty or
personal property and court ruling
may be necessary to settle the dis
|puted point
There also was some talk about
other railroads which own cars set
out on the G. A. & N. road, bringing
suit to recover them. This action,
however, was said by railroad at
torney to be unnecessary as the roads
owning the cars could send locomo-
tive onto the road and haul the cars
to another line, or even use team of
horses to move them.
It was said today that the Cass in
terests have not entirely abandoned
their efforts to obtain the property.
1t Is known that conferences have been
held with some Of the bond holders
at Chicago this week, the object Of
which was to devise some means OF
redeeming the property. Just what
plans, If any, were agreed on could
not be ascertained in this city today.
The G. A. & N. road is thirty-six
miles in length and its rolling stock
consists Of six freight cars, two COM
bination passenger coaches, three 10
comotives and six steel bridges. Mr..
Sonker has announced that he will
ALSO junk the Iowa Short line which
he recently acquired and ship the
material to Europe. He expects to

sort, Tuesday morning found all out

about. The walks were more suited to
skating than walking. The tempera-
ture dropped again last night and to-
day is clear and crisp. The sleet
storm Of Monday night played havoc
with telephone and telegraph wires
all over the central west and many
trains were off their schedule on ac-
count OF slippery rails.
