A RAILROAD IS
SOLD FOR JUNK
Railroad Built by Farmers Sold to
Junk Dealers, Who Will Tear Up
The Road After Three Years
OF Service

Through a deal arranged by the
Council Bluffs Junk Company, the
Iowa and Omaha Short Line was sold
last week in Omaha by E. A. Wick
ham. of Council Bluffs, to the Joe
Joseph Brothers Co., of Cincinnati,
large junk concern, bringing to an
end the rather tempestuous career of
the little interurban road. The con-
sideration will probably run some
where between $4,000 and $4,000,
depending upon the value of the ma
terial laid down upon the cars, when
ready for shipment.
The work of junking the road is
TO be completed by July /, and the
material it is understood is to be sent
to Moline, ILL.,, for re-rolling.
In the final negotiations Attorney
l. V. zimmerman represented the Jo-
seph Brothers Company and Attor-
neys Ray Lohnes and Frank Yates, of
Omaha, represented Mr.. Wickham.
The road was purchased by Wickham
at a receivers sale about a year ago
for $21.500. AS junk the road is
said to be forth far more than as a
road to be operated for travel. In
cluded in this sale is all the property
of the road including the right of
way.
Would Not Operate 1t.
An effort was made, without avail,
to get one of the trunk lines of rail-
roads to take over the railroad as a
gift, with the condition it be oper-
ated.
The road. which was originally
promoted by Col George II. Adams,
of Walnut, Iowa. was constructed
during 1908 and 1909 at a cost of
something like 100000. Subscrip-
tons for the building Of the road
were made by between forty and
fifty farmers of the vicinity in which
it ran, between Nicola. near Council
Bluffs, and Treynor, Iowa, distance
of about fourteen miles.
The road was completed in 1910
and the rolling stock consisted of a
locomotive a combination passenger
and baggage coach and a number of
freight cars. For about three years
it was operated, but later went into
the hands of a receiver and finally
operations ceased.
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former governor
of Iowa. and later secretary of the
treasury, became interested and went
TO England for the purpose of float
ing a bond but the outbreak of the
war prevented the deal from being
completed. A syndicatae organized
in Omaha. Council Bluffs and Des
Moines gave promise of taking over
the road with the intention of cleo
trifying it, but this movement failed.

mo, John, Billy Boy can't go rid
ing with you. He has a cold" said
Helen when John asked to take the
boy with him in the car.
20 little cold like his don't
amount to much; l don't believe the
ride would hurt him, in fact it would
do him good" protested John, who
was inclined to think his wife a bit
fussy where the baby was concerned
"A little cold is sometimes the
beginning of a severe cold and l no.
tice that children who have many
colds soon acquire a chronic ailment
of the numerous membranes of the
nose and throat that leads to all
sorts of complications.
But l thought fresh air was good
for colds" John persisted, because
he really wanted the boy to go with
him.
pure air is good for colds, but
the extra draft created by the ma
chine in motion accompanied by the
dust will certainly aggravate the
trouble. l know you think me over
particular, but l do want to keep
Billy Boy we'll 1t is so much easier
to avoid illness than to cure dis
ease
We'll, possibly you are right, but
ii does seem too bad to deprive him
of the ride. 1t is fine to have him
so healthy, and | was just Dragging
yesterday about our small doctors
bill Jim Smith asked me this morn
ing how we all managed 10 keep so
well all the time and said their baby
had cold from fall until spring"
Ibid you tell him about the nasal
douche l am using for colds?"
'No, l forgot to tell him about it,,
and besides l did not know just what
proportions you are using"
Il use fourth of a teaspoonful of
salt and the same of soda in a tum-
blerful of warm water OF course |
only use a couple of syringes full at
a time but it can be warmed again
and should be used three times a
day if the nose is discharging mu-
cous. l wonder if they think about
giving the baby a dose of castor oil,
too, when the cold begins to devel-
OPP"
81 guess you had better go over
and have a talk with Mrs. Smith.
don't believe she knows much about
babies and it seems too bad for the
child to suffer the consequences of
her ignorance"
alright, | will drop in some day
and let the talk drift in the right
direction and then ! can offer to
loan her some of my literature and
perhaps persuade her to join Baby
Club
Goodbye, sonny" said John as he
