SOME OBJECTIONS TO FREIGHT TRAFFIC
ladleatlona that Path nf Tabor Road
Wilt Sat R aa Knar aa Appeared
at the Laat Session with
t'oancll.
H. C. Avery, chief engineer of the Coun.
cl! Bluffs, Tnteor ftniithern Electric rail
way company and a corps of assistants
started yesterday morning on a survey
of the rout by which the road proposes to
enter Council Bluffs.
The start was made at Inland park, a
point a short distance south of the Iowa
School for the Deaf, which the road will
skirt and enter the city by Bouth avenue.
The lines are to be run In accordance with
lh tAmont Markpil At f h lost meetlna
of the city council committee which pro
vides that all regular schedule passenger
train must be run up Into the heart of
the city and not by the southwest belt
, line. The route aa practically agreed upon
between the committee and President
Dobbs of the Tabor road brings the line
up town on Fourth street to Story and
from Story street to Washington avenue oi
Main street. The loop for this portion of
tha Uno will bo on Curtis street.
At the last meeting It was understood
that the company was to be permitted to
run Its freight trains on this portion of
the line between the hours of midnight and
I a. m. It, has since developed. It la said,
that such an arrangement Is not agreeable
to the residents and property owners. They
are willing, It is stated, that tha company
shall have all the privileges It desires to
run passenger trains on these streets but
that If It wants to run freight trains Into
that section of the city It should be re
quired to purchase Ha right-of-way the
same as other railroads have done. It la
understood also that there Is mora or less
opposition to the company1 being permitted
to haul passengers from Omaha to Lake
Manawa as President Dobbs claimed It In
tended to by way of the southwest belt
line. Such a service would, It Is feared,
result In the bulk of the Manawa trafflo
being carried to .the lake without It pass
ing through the city as It does now on the
old motor line..
The ordinance granting the franchise,
even If approved by. the city council, will
have to be voted on by the people at a
special or the regular city election In
March and It is said, that If the ordinance
Is not materially changed, there will be
considerable opposition to It at the polls.
President Dobbs and Attorney Wright
were busy yesterday completing the draft
ing of the, ordinance, which Is to be sub
mitted to the city council committee thla

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
' DES MOINES, Jan. 1. (Special.) A
strong movement has been started In the
state for an attack on the new Iowa road
law with a view to having It repealed and
return to the old system of each com
munity worVIng th rosfU to lHf Itself.
A petition Is being circulated In Jasper
county asking the legislature to repeal the
law entire end to re-enact the law which
provides for ' road supervisors In small
distrlcta Instead of having the work done
by the township trustees. They would
also provide that two-thirds of - the local
road taxes be paid In labor as In other
years. These petitions are being sent out
all over the state to Influence legislators
and it Is learned that a good many of the
new members are pledged to the repeal of
the law. The law has not yet been given
a trial, aa only the first taxes under the
law were available the past season and
the work could not very well be started
then, but there la general complaint be
cause It requlrea payment of the .taxes In
cash Instead of In labor.
A state meeting of the rural mall car
riers of Iowa was held here today and
among other things resolutions were passed
In favor of better roads. The mall car
riers have been urging this for several
years and while they aro not opposed to
the new law aa a principle they are anxious
that it be enforced and the work be com
menced - an soon as possible. The mall
carriers also took steps to see If their pay
could not be raised by congress.
Private Hanks Kot Popular..
There are now 674 private banks or bank
ing firms In the state of Iowa doing busi
ness. The fact that within the past six
weeks three cashiers of private banks have
committed suicide, leaving their banks In
bad condition financially, is causing much
adverse criticism and an effort is to be
made again at the coming session of the
legislature to secure a law that will com
pel all bankers of the state except the
national bankers, to make reports to some
authority and to submit to examination.
The private banks are wholly without su
pervision at this time and those who deal
with thern are not given any protection.
The state and national bankers complain
that in many cases they are subjected to
unusual and difficult competition because
the private bankers can do business with
little regard for Bafety. At the same time
It Is learned that the private bankers have
done some good work In view to having
the committees of the legislature so made
up that they Will not be disturbed. They
have been able heretofore to prevent any
adverse legislation.
Democrats Are Active.
It Is announced that Walt Butler of this
city, former democratic member of con
gress and an active man In support of
Bryan, will be a candidate for delegate-at-
j large to the democratic national convention.
He has been an ardent silver man and has
supported the national ticket at all timts,
but he states that In his belief It Is time
for the writing of an entire new platform
for the democratic party without any re
gard to Isms or factions of the past. It Is
conceded that "Jeny" Sullivan of Creston
will be one of' the oelegates-at-large to the
national convention, and that one will come
from the Second congressional district,
probably Congressman Wade, while another
will come from the northern part of the
state. Mr. Butler has a strong following
in the state. His attitude Is believed to
foreshadow a harmony convention early
this year for the Iowa democrats.
State Insurance Buslneae.
The Insurance business of the state of
Iowa has grown enormously the' past year
and the collections of the state auditor's
office are large. For the year Just ended
the state auditor collected In 'taxes from
the Insurance companies doing business
here ti50.914.SO, which Is 126,334.89 more than
last year. He also collected In fee from
Insurance companies t45.SCi6.90, and In fees
from building and loan companies t445. The
last named Item shows a decrease -over
former years, while the Insurance business
Is steadily growing and the sums received
by the state now form a considerable por
tion of the state's regular revenue. The In
surance department Is managed at a cost
of about tl 2,000 a year
Maslc for Inaaarara t Ion.
The girls' orchestra from the State In
dustrial school at Mltchellvllle Is to furnish
the music for a concert Jn the state capltol
on the occasion of the reception by the
governor after the Inaugural ceremonies
this aionlh. The orchestra has about forty
pieces and Is able to furnish fine music. It
will be a decided novelty on such occasion.
The Iowa State college team having won
the Spoor trophy for stock Judging at the
international show In Chicago the trophy
will now become the permanent property
of the college. Arrangements are being
made for a celebration of the event at Ames
very soon.

The bodies of the Des Moines victims of
the Chicago theater fire arrived In the city
today and funerals will be held tomorrow or
Sunday. The two women, Mrs. Stark and

the heap of struggling humanity, but their

CONTEST OVER AN ISLAND
Two Men Make Haee to Dea Molnea
Land Ofllca to Preeent a
Filing.
ONAWA. Ia.. Jan. l.-(Spectal.)-The
strife as to the ownership of Blackbird Isl
and, in the Missouri opposite Maple landing,
Monona county, la., bida fair to be settled
from present Indications. The Island orig
inally was separated from tbe Nebraska
side by the main channel of the Missouri
river, but by some kind of a freak, foi
which the old river is noted, a few years
ago a change took place and the channel
Is now on the other aide of the river and
Blackbird Island looks as though it was
part of the Omaha Indian reservation, and
ought to be good Nebraska territory. None
of It haa ever been allotted, however, and
the Nebraska authorities do not claim
Jurisdiction. Several squatters have been
on the Island at different times for years,
but made no attempt to secure a title to
the lands.
Recently the Island was surveyed by Mr.
R. 8. Fesaenden. county surveyor of Mo
nona county, Iowa, and steps taken to have
the lands subject to entry at the United
8tatea land office tn Dea Molnea. Mr.
George Phillips setoff the Interested party
who desired to secure the Island. Last
week Mr. Phillips visited Des Molnea for
the purpose of perfecting his claim to the
land, but while there, before he had fcn
opportunity to go to the United States land
office, Mr. David Forsyth stole a marnh on,
him aad filed on the Island ahead of him.
The government land on the Island con
sists of only about 250 acres, most of which
Is good, tillable land, but there are about
J.SOO acrea of accretions. Which Is more or
less valuable for farming purpose.
County Surveyor Fessenden says the Isl
and must have been In existence for many
years, as there are ash trees there over
one foot In diameter. The Island looks now
as If it really was a part of the Indian res
ervation, but Nebraska makes no claim and
the Iowa authorities say It Is part of their
publlo domain and Issued the proper notices
authorising entry of same, so the Island
Is now considered Iowa soil and the resi
dents will have to vote and pay taxes In
Monona county, Iowa, the same as the
residents of llolman's Island, which was
cut off from Monona county some years
ago, when the Missouri cut across the big
bend and planted about 2,000 acres of good
Iowa soil In Nebraska at one swoop.
FIRE BREAKS OUT IN HOSPITAL

i and Snowstorm.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Jan. l.-(Speclal
Telegram.) Fire thla evening broke out In
the basement of the Sioux Falls hospital,
a frame building, and the people of the
city for a time feared that some of the
patients would lose their lives. All the
hacks In the city were requisitioned and
soon all the patients were removed to
places of safety. Many were In scanty at
tire, and the fact that a fierce northeast
gale and snowstorm prevailed made their
removal, especially those whose condition
was serious, a difficult and dangerous un
dertaking. The fire started from the furnace and
speedily filled the building with smoke,
causing a momentary panic among attend
ants and patients. The nurses soon re
gained (heir coolness, and with the aid
of firemen, who were promptly on the
scene, and hackmen. and other citizens re
moved the patients to nearby houses, it Is
announced that none of them are any the
worse for their experience. The .flames
were extinguished before the building had
been seriously damaged.
