NEWS BLUFFS ENGINEER INSPECTS CREER Milwaukee Eoad Bends Its Man it Consult with City. PRAISES WORK D0NL BY THE BIG DREDGE Mayer Hopeful All the Roads Will Co-operate with the City In Solv lac Troablesome Creek. Problem. A. O. Baker, assistant engineer of the Milwaukee railroad, with headquarters In Chicago, visited the city yesterday In re sponse to Mayor Macrae's request that each of the railroads centering In the city send their engineer to Investigate Indian creek conditions and formulate some plan for preventing the periodical overflow of the turbulent little stream. Mr. Baker was met by Mayor Macrae and Aldermen Weaver and Gilbert and with them walked along the creek to Nineteenth avenue, the rest of the trip to the mouth of the creek In the river being by carriage. Mr. Baker was much Impressed with the work being done by the dredge and while not prepared to sfAte what his company would do in the matter did not hesitate to say that he believed the only solution of the Indian creek question was for all the railroads to act In concert and raise their bridges uniformly. The Milwaukee owns one bridge on Its main line over the creek and uses Jointly with the Rock Island railroad a second. Mayor Macrae has suggested that whereas the city has gone to the great expense ot widening and deepening the creek from Sixteenth avenue to the river, the several railroads should for their part stand the cost of similar work on the creek from Six teenth avenue to the center of the city, In addition to raising their bridges so as to permit of a sufficient waterway under them In times of heavy rain. The estimated ex pense to each railroad, It Is claimed, would not exceed $3,000 or 11,000 and It would re sult In their tracks being saved from the continual overflows) from the creek. Mayor Macrae's plan for improving the portion of the creek between the center of the city and Sixteenth avenue Is to turn the creek during dry weather Into the sewet at Thirteenth street and then widen and deepen the channel. As the dredge could not be used on this section of the creek owing to the numerous big bridges, the work would have to be done by teams. So far the Northwestern and Milwaukee railroads have sent their engineers here to Inspect and report, and Mayor Macrae Is hopeful that the other railroads will follow suit, as he Is firmly of the opinion that when the railroads understand fully the existing conditions they will realixe that It will prove an economical proposition to co operate with the city In providing against the periodical overflows of Indian creek.

COIXTY HAS SO MOSEY FOR PAVISQ Inable to Aid the West Endera In Broadnar Plans. The Board of County Supervisors met In adjourned session yesterday and today will go to Missouri Valley to hold a joint meeting with the Harrison county board, when a hearing will be held in the matter of the proposed joint drainage ditches. The board Informally discussed the reso lutlon adopted by the West End Improve ment club calling upon the county au thoritica to expend all "available" funds on the paving of Lower Broadway. The discussion developed the fact that the county has no funds which it can apply to such a purpore and that the West End ers need not look for any help from the county. The portion of the county road fund levied within the city, members of the board declared, could not be applied to paving any street, and Chairman Baker supplemented this statement by saying that only recently two of the heaviest tax payers In the city had told him if any portion of the fund was used for such a purpose they certainly would bring suit to enjoin the board from so expending the fund. Attorney F. A. Turner of Avoca, whose claim of $300 for defending Lewis Smith, the negro charged with murder, by order of the district court, was cut down by the board to $80, accepted the reduced amount on the understanding that it was for his services before the district court only. He then presented an amended claim for $200 for his work in the case before the supreme court and offered. If the board would order It paid at once, to accept $120; otherwise he would Institute suit against the county. Action on the new claim was deferred to the January session.

RULING CUTS OFF SALARIES Reorganization of Stat Educational Board f Examiners Liktly to Fallow, RAILROAD CHANGES ARE IN PROSPECT State Board Decides Against the Drainage of Lakes Which Are Really Permanent Bodlea of Water. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. 21.-(Speclal.)-By reason of the ruling of Attorney General Mullan, delivered today to State Super intendent John F. Riggs, the State Board of Educational Examiners will be under the necesity of making a radical change in tho manner of doing business. The state superintendent had asked the attorney gen eral for a decision as to whether or not the numbers of the faculty at the state colleges are state officers within the mean ing of the law and wllether superintendents of schools and teachers are state officers. The reason for this Is that the Board of Educational Examiners Is authorized to em ploy pT9ong o assist In making the ex amination of the papers of persons who have applied for state certificates, and In the cuee of the large classes which are annually examined at the State Normal school at Cedar Falls It has been the cus tom to employ members of the normal school faculty and to pay them for time actually employed. Now the attorney gen eral holds that they are state officers and cannot be paid any compensation beyond their regular salaries. The same applies at all the state educational Institutions. The Board of Examiners will therefore have to employ outsiders to do this vork. At the normal school the papers were turned over to specialists who were able to make examination and grade the papers yery quickly. The attorney general de cided, however, that school superintendents and teachers may be employed, as they are not state officers. The ruling also has an important bearing on the Board of Edur. cational Examiners Itself. Miss Roberts, the newly, appointed member, ia of the faculty at Ames, and this ruling will pre vent her receiving any compensation as a member of the board. In fact. It will 1 leave only one member, Prof. McManUB of Council Bluffs, to receive a per diem, all the others being in the class of state offi cers already drawing pay for services. It will also cause a reorganization of the force for making inspection of the accredited normal schools of the state. Close Ip One Association. Attorney General Mullan Is preparing pa pers to ask for a receiver for the Iowa Cen tral Building and Loan association of Des Moines, a company which has ostensibly gone out of business after a life covering many years. It appears that the company has gone through with a process which was supposed to have terminated its ex istence a few weeks ago. The state exam iner of building and loan associations made examination, however, and a report was laid before the state auditor and by him re ferred to the state executive council. It was found that the manner of closing up the business of the association lift room for doubt as to whether the rights of all the stockholders had been sufficiently guarded. A short time before the board ordered the dissolution there was a divi dend declared, and then the assets of the bunk were sold to another company, which had apparently been organized by the offi cers of the Iowa Central. It was deemed best that the courts should have the wind ing up of the affairs of the company and a receiver will be asked for, that the closing up process may be done properly. The company was owned by Congressman J. A. T. Hull of this city, John Gibson of Creston and others. Creamery In Shelby County. There was filed in the office of the sec retary of state today the articles of In corporation of the Farmers' Mutual Co operative Danway Creamery company of Polk township, Shelby county. The com pany was formed by a large number of farmers residing near Klrkman, with J. K. Barber at the head. It will be an e'ffort to enlarge the creamery business in west ern Iowa, where already a number of good creameries have been established. The State Board of Medical Examiners today conducted the examination of about forty applicants for certificates as docfors and osteopaths. Railroad Changes Coming. Announcement is made that the firm of the year J. N. Tlttemore, a railroad man well known in Iowa, will go from Peoria to Minneapolis to become traffic manager of the Iowa Central and the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroads. This is a new posi tion and is taken to Indicate that under the Hawley ownership of these two roads running through Iowa and Minnesota there will be many changes to make them mors aggressive. The first of the year the Min neapolis takes over the Des Moines 4k Fort Dodge railroad, running from here to Ruth ven, and a complete change will be made In the method of its operation. The Min neapolis trains will be transferred to the union depot here, but tho Rock Island will still send trains out over the road, mak ing connections at Gowrla for Sibley. Ko Place fur a Monnmrnt.

The monster fig ure in staff representing ."Iowa" which formed one of the large group of the col lonade at the Bt. Louis exposition during the past season has been offered to the state if the state will pay all expenses of removal.
