ter examining plans to facilitate the

The bill authorizes the treasury to
make advances to ship owners, on the
approval of the ministry of marines,
up to the sum of 100000,000 francs for
the acquisition of steamships. These
funds will be loaned at the rate of
interest charged by the bank of
France for advances on securities.
Such loans will be made from the date

of vessels to be advanced is fixed at
20 per cent for companies already
owning 10000 tons of shipping or
more, and so per cent for those own
ing less than this amount Or for new
enterprises. Repayment is to be made
in the case of companies of the first
class in three annual sums, in the case
of the second class in four INSTALL
ments, and by fishing companies in
eight payments. In each case the first
installment will be payable one year
after the time of purchase.
The steamships will be examined by
government experts before they are
bought. They must be in good navi-
gable condition and guaranteed free
from all mortgages or lien at the time
of sale.

Two new auto routes to pass thru
this city. which will establish excel
lent north and south connections with
Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis,
s.. Paul and McGregor, have been pro-
posed by A. L. Nissen, of the Iowa
Publishing Company. of Des Moines,
who is interested in the proposition
from the standpoint of map publish
ing and trail marking. The Marshall
town Club has backed the movement
in this city. as have the Rotary Club
of Waterloo and organizations of bust
ness men in Cedar Rapids.
The Des Moines. Marshalltown and
Charles City pike will be the name OF
one of the routes. while the second
will be named the Kansas City, Des
Moines and McGregor trail. A third
route already passes thru this city is
the Union route, connecting Mime
apols and St. Louis.
Trail Thru Marshall County.
Marshalltown is the third city where
a start has been made to organize a
trail to McGregor. where Senator Ken
S''ll mas pI DpOSeu u MAKE d
park out of the beautiful land on
both the Iowa and Wisconsin sides of
the Mississippi river. The trail would
use the Jefferson highway from Kan
sas City to Des MONIES, the River to-
River road from Des Moines to Col
fax and Newton. and then establish
an official highway thru Marshall
town. Conrad. Grundy Center. Rein
heck, Hudson. Waterloo. Dunderton,
Fairfank. Oelwein. Maynard. F'ayette.
West Union. Clermont. Postville, and
from P0stvine to McGregor via the
North Iowa pike. From Postville to
Wauk"n will make an easy and ac-
Cessihe trail owing to the fact that
the new bridge at Lansing. which is
10 he built this year, will afford good
for tourists who wish to
enter Wisconsin.
To reach Charles City from here Mr..
Nissen proposes to use the same road
from this city thru Conrad and Bea-
man and then go north to Charles
'ity thru Parkershurg. Grundy Cen
ter is suggested as the stopping place
IN the road from here to Waterloo.
rather than Gladbrook. altho by way
IF Gladbrook would shorten the dis
-ance by about five miles.
To Organize Union Route.
Including this city in the route from
N :HHea polls to St. Louis, which has
,een used for the past two years but
5 not fully marked. IS another plan
# Mr.. Nissen. This road goes from
,Iinnea polls to Mason City. then to
Hampton. Eldora and MarshaIltown.
The Lincoln Highway is then used to
LeGrand. after which the route is
marked to Gilman. Newburg. Grinnell.
and Oskaloosa. After this the Daniel
Boone trail is used TO St. Louis. Good
north and south connections are thus
established.
Many tourists will turn to McGregor
during the coming years if the pro-
posed steps toward a national park are
carried out. and Mr.. Nissen believes a
we'll marked trail leading thru prin-
ri pal cItl"s to McGregor will prove Of
great value
