WATER ROUTE
is CHEAPEST
Farmers Of Iowa Given Less Than
Rail Rate, According to An
nouncement at Recent
Conferences.

According to notification recently
received by Governor Harding from
the Iowa Farm Bureau federation,
shippers are to be given lower
than-rail rate on great lakes shipping
after September 1. According to the
opinion of farm bureau officials, the
concession means the release of So
900 freight cars for service in the
middle and northwest by use of the
great lake ships and freight bottoms
The Iowa men interested in this
problem went down to Washington
ten days ago, asking that the lake
rates be equaIized. or lowered, in or
der that shippers might use ships
for grain and freight between Chi
cago, Buffalo and St. Lawrence river
ports. 1t was pointed out that so
per cent of the rail shipping from
Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard
went by way of Buffalo.
1t was further pointed out that
cars caught in the jam, or at con-
gested points, were held in service
on long hauls, when by use of lake
shipping they would be released for
short hauls and thus reduce the car
shortage problem both east and west
OF the Mississippi.
The interstate commerce commits
sion agreed with what Harding and
Iowa farm bureau officials pointed |
out to them, and said they would look !
into the matter and give out ruling !
bearing on the subject. Their mes

Since then 100000 persons have

a bride path was built; wagon road
to the summit was built in 1880, and
IN 1891 the cog wheel railroad, nine
miles long, was built. Burros were
used also at that time.
In 1916 the present automobile road
was built at cost of 100000 after
two years of construction work and
many difficulties, especially in getting

The government is now able to
guarantee the lives and property of

Although few bandits are at

Dark, unsanitary ill-ventilated

Our new law makes fresh air and sun

there is much work to be done in the

to say that she was about to build

have living room with no outside
ventilation. She said the room would
have big plate glass window, but
hat this window could not be opened.
We denied her possession to have such
room in her house. A man in Ma

which provided for ceilings less than
feet in the downstairs room. The
