NEW BARGE LINE
is PLANNED
ST. Louis and ST. Paul Capitalists
Interested in New Venture on
Mississippi-South Amer
lean Connections.

A barge line calculated to effect I'M
portant cut in cost of freight hauls
and incidentally to reawaken Mlssls-
sippi valley towns TO the poss1Dll-
ties of river navigation is planned by
capitalists of Minneapolis and st.
Paul A company with eight direc-
tors from each of the cities, known
as the Twin City Navigation COM
pany, has been formed and plans to
esta blish the line this summer
The boats now operating in this
section of the river confine their
work to packet business, stopping at
small points en- route between the
large ones. The new company ex-
poets 70 begin rs work with eishteen
barges each having capacity OF
1 900 tons, and to be towed in strings
of six by tug. This plan would
provide for the loading OF one fleet
at st. Paul and Minneapolis and one
at ST. Louis, the proposed southern
terminus, while the third is en- route.
Connections at ST Louis with lines
running to New, Orleans and possibly
up the Ohio are being considered and
St. Louis capital may be enlisted in
the scheme.
Communication with ST. Louis In
terests already have shown that full
loads for the journeys up and down
the river may be depended on. st.
Louis manufacturers will be supplied
on the down-river trips with iron ore
from the mines of Minnesota while
barges heading up the river are to
carry coal from Illinois and hard
wood from southern forests.
In addition, it is probable that sisa1
from Yucatan will find its way north
in the barges. Sisa1 is an important
factor in the harvesting work in the
northwest and the high cost Of it by
the time it reaches the farmer may
be 1essened. it is thought. by a re-
duction in the freight charges be-
tween New Orleans and twine-mak-
ing factories in Minneapolis and Still
water.
Minneapolis has prepared a 1900
foot sea-wan and expects to erect
warehouses to take care OF the
barges and their freight there. The
St. Paul city council has appropri-
ated $4,000 for dock and river front
improvements.

ON INDIAN MARRIAGES
This Recalls The Fact That Iowa Has
Indians IN =. ooppls-
ton Who Must be
Governed.

DES MONIES March 3f,-Of the
1850 bills filed in the Iowa general
assembly at the present session, there
are more than the usual number OF
oddities.
Most of the freak bills are due to
be killed in either the house or the
senate, but some OF them will get
through and become laws. One or
two which seem odd, are said to be
really sensible bills and will be OF
immense advantage to the state. The
bill prohibiting dogs to run at large
between sunset and sunrise is one OF
these This measure will permit the
farmers to kill Off the vicious dogs
in the country which have been kill
ing sheep Until this is done. sheep
raising in Iowa will not become
profitable, farmers say. ...
Some of the Odd Ones.
Among the odd bills on file are
the following:
Prohibiting book agents IN school
houses from a. m TO p. m.
Requiring a fee OF 81 for filing
every bill in the general assembly.
Requiring one-half of the hunt
5 ers' license fee to be returned to the
county to pay for the damage to do
mestic animals done by hunters.
Bill to repeal the >anti-tipping bill.
Prohibiting lawyers in other states
from ambulance chasing" in Iowa.
Railroad commission to inspect
electric meters.
Defining bank stick ups"
Put Ban on ferrets.
Forbidding larceny of water or gas.
Making It unlawful to use ferrets
in catching rabbits.
Requiring all farmers no fence
their lands.
Prohibiting the farming out OF tip
ping privileges.
Requiring an apology. from news
papers for publication OF picture
which does not do justice to the sub
3ect pictured.
Forbidding making brooms in the
penitentiary.
Requiring automatic focAs on
doors of buildings.
Classifying mourning doves as
game birds.
Authority to executive council to
buy Illuminated automobile plates.
Repeal Of law prohibiting docking
OF horses tails.
Prohibiting issuance OF hunters
license to person under IS years OF
age.
Requiring installation of shower
baths in foundries.
Exempt piano from taxation.
The index OF bills presents many
odd features. Under the heading of
bees" is found bill establishing an
Office Of state apiarist, and the only
other bill on bees would abolish the
Office of state bee inspector.
Under the heading of the Sabbath
Is one bill increasing the penalty
for violation Of the blue laws to 800.
The only other bill on the subject is
one repeating the blue laws.
Laws for Iowa Indians.
That Iowa has any Indians is not
often recalled. There is one bill on
file affecting the rights of the Iowa
Indians. II requires the Indians to
be married by the Indian agent. as
well as by tribal ceremony. This Is
to prevent an Indian from deserving
his squaw when he gets tired OF her,
On the ground that the tribal cere-
mony IS not binding.
A number of the bills listed above
are not so odd in themselves, as the
fact that condition exists in Iowa
which would require such legislation.
