FARMERS. DELAYED IN THRESH
ING , STOP GRAIN FLOW.
ROLLING STOCK IS RUSHING
Congestion of Cars is Reported at San
Francisco , But All Roads are Hurry
ing Them Back as Fast as Possible.
West Cars Stay Here.
Uaihofid companies are making
l.crolc efforts u got cars to shippers
in Hie lemtur > contingent to Norfolk
ui.'l thr nev. niV of refusing to allow
en. a Irom thi' v.estem lines to go to
i'-.o i 'hniui , luis already assisted In
elk'ig ; the situation. Another point
las been gained by the railroad com-
mules because of the recent rains.
farmers cannot haul grain to market
because the roads are heavy , and that
vhlch is in the stacks is wet , and can-
iot be threshed.
But there Is a call for cars from all
over the northwest and It will Increase
n a few days. In North Dakota and
out west box cars are not available for
grain transportation. The big railroad
companies which have been adding to
their rolling stock during the past few
years , find their supply of cars ontire-
y inadequate , owing to the unusual
n-essuro of traffic.
Congestion at 'Frisco.
Every possible remedy has been ap-
ilied by the railroad companies to re-
lovn the situation. It has been
earned that there is a congestion of
cars at San Francisco , and all rail
roads are working together to get the
cars back from the Pacific coast.
Since the fire it Is said that 3,500 box
cars have accumulated near San Fran
cisco , and that the receipts are still
about 400 cars per day.
It Is reported that cars ordered from
the builders a year ago are just now
jeing delivered to the different com
panies. The Great Northern , Illinois
Central nnd Northwestern are getting
cars from the builders which should
iave been delivered thirty days ago.
Increase In Small Grain.
Remarkable increases in the pro-
luctlon of small grain are now said
to be more than ever responsible for
; he trouble the companies are having.
Nebraska and South Dakota offer ex
amples of the increased production.
Wheat , oats , corn and alfalfa await
the coming of the freight cars. The
figures compiled by the railroad com
panies of Nebraska crops glvo some
Idea of the tralllc which the railroads
will have to handle.
The total acreage In Nebraska de
voted to these four crops In 1903 was
10,539,400 , and in 1900 11,704,000 , showIng -
Ing an Increase of 1,215,000 , or be
tween 12 and 13 per cent , increase in
the area of Nebraska lands put under
the plow In thrco years 'operation.
A Certain Cure for Croup Used for
Ten Years Without a Failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott , a Star City , Ind. ,
hardware merchant , Is enthusiastic In
his praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and ho has used this
remedy for the past ten years , and
though they much feared the croup ,
his wife and ho always felt safe upon
retiring when a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy was In the house.
His oldest child was subject to severe
attacks of croup , but this remedy nev
er failed to effect a speedy cure. Ho
has recommended It to friends and
neighbors and all who have used It say
that it is unequaled for croup and
whooping cough. For sale by Leon
ard the druggist.
If you were one of the 100 shrewd
est want advertisers In this city you
would probably have an ambition to

you but a few months to crowd Into
the "first hundred" after that the

JACKSON BROTHERS SURE OF
SUCCESS THIS TIME.
BOOM TOWN FOR NEW OPENING
When Trlpp County Is Thrown Open
to Settlement , Dallas Will be What
Boncstccl Was to the Rosebud Open
ing Railroad to Go There.
Gregory , S. D. , Nov , ' ! . Special to
The News : The Gregory National
bank that was to open HH doors for
business this weuk luis bought the
Hank of Gregory , owned by Johnson
and Gardner and will take possession
next Monday , The stockholders of
the Gregory National are men of good
business ability and well llxod finan
cially.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the town on the Trlpp coun
ty line west of horo. The surveyors
went out yesterday to survey the site
.ind the town of Dallas will move
( hero. The new town will bo six
miles west of Gregory and being on
the extreme border of the land now
open It will bo the best ( own at the
opening of Trlpp county. It Is under
stood that the railroad will at once
build on to this town. The Jackson
brothers are the promoters of this
now enterprise. They were the promoters
meters of Dallas and when the road
missed them they were not disheart
ened but pushed on ami this lime they
are at the terminus of the road and
are sure of success ,
Last night at Gregory there was a
big republican rally. Philo Hall ad
dressed the audience. This wound up
the campaign In the new part of the
county. It Is generally conceded that
the republican tlcokt In general will
bo elected. There were some who put
an Independent ticket in the Held but
.they will have little force.
COST OF SPLIT LOG DRAG
Experience of Iowa Farmers of Inter
est to Nebraskans.
In the summer of 1)01 ! ) the people of
Sac Oily Iowa , experimented on twen
ty-six miles of road , using the split-
log drag , says a "good roads" circular
Issued by the passenger department of
the Union Paclllc. Farmers were al
lotted sections of road to bo dragged
after every rain , and paid for it out
of ti fund contributed by the citizens
of Sac City. These roads were so
much improved during this single sum
mer that horscmon abandoned the race
track , said to bo one of the very best
In the state , and speeded their horses
in preference on the roads Improved
by the use of the drag. The farmers
were paid in proportion to the time
expended , and the average cost of im
proving and maintaining these roads
was $2. ! ( ) per mile , In our judgment ,
it is quite possible to have the country
roads In any part of the state of Iowa
or adjoining states , where the rainfall
Is over twenty-llvo'Inches , improved
nnd maintained and put in better con
dition than country roads have over
boon known to tie at an expense not to
exceed $ ! i.OO per mile per year. Con
cerning the work of the drag in Sac
county Mr. H. II. Fitch writes :
"In the winter of 100II-1 , when Mr.
King visited our county , he explained
to the farmers who attended our insti
tute the simple and effective method
of making good , solid dirt roads by us
ing the drag. A great many of our
farmers made drags in the spring and
went to work with them according to
Mr. King's directions. The result has
been most satisfactory. In some cas
es the road supervisor failed to com
prehend the need of using the drag
when the road was still moist and
permitted it to become so dry that the
drag failed to do its work well. But
this was to be expected. Wo now
have roads near Sac City orcr which
the continuous hauling of heavy loads
after heavy rains fails to sink the wag
ons into the road bed of common clay
more than the depth of the wagon
tiro. Regular use of the drag has put
a roof on these roads impervious to
water. Jackson and Cedar townships
have three of these drags and wo have
four In the town of Sac City. Where
these are used the roads remain in
good condition Indefinitely. Even
when we have a continued spell of
nasty , damp weather , they do not got
soft to any great depth. Every person
who has had an opportunity to observe
the roads where the split-log drag has
boon used must be convinced that It
will do the business and give us good
nnd serviceable roads without money
and without price , save the small
amount of labor required. "
The amount levied for township road
purposes In the civil township of six
miles square In the state of Iowa is
from f 1,000 to $2,000 , probably averag
ing ? lnoO per year. The amount
levied In the entire state for the year
1004 for township road fund was $1-
749.i95.23 : ; county road fund , $559-
409.12 ; for county bridge tax , $1,917-
423.fi3 ; total road taxes , $4,250,228.18.
Allowing a road on every section line ,
the mileage would bo about seventy-
two miles. The average voting popu
lation of each township In Iowa Is
about 200. If half the voters pay the
poll tax of $ .1.00 per annum , the poll
tax nlono , If properly expended for the
proper use of the split-log drag , will
moro than cover the expense of sur
facing the roads In the state of Iowa.
The amount to bo expended In other
states will , of course , depend upon the
poll tax levied. The mileage and ru
ral population In these states would bo
approximately the same. Therefore
