DES MOINES TROLLEY LINES
System of Traoks to Connect Email Towns
with the Oapital,
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY DOES IT
Intensions of the City Lines to the
Smaller Places Nearby I the Com
prehensive Hchnnr Ileitis
Worked Out.
DES MOINES, Dec. 9. (Special.) The
development ot olcotrlc railway systems In
and about Des Molncs during tho coming
year promises to affect a good many cen
tral Iowa towns. Although they aro all
connected with Des Moines by direct lines
of railroad the demand for better trans
portation facilities continues. Tho towns
within forty or fifty miles of Des Moines
havo been dwarfed in growth by tho near
ness of tho capital city, but their rest-
dents believe that now Des Molncs Is largo
enough so that If rapid transit is afforded
tho overflow will help tho towns and smaller
cities. Tho first town to be connected
with Des Moines by electric lino was
Valley Junction, six miles out on tho
Rock Island. Tho city street cars carry
passengers to Vtllcy Junction for a tare
of 0 cents from tho city limits. Tho lino
is very successful, as Valley Junction has
grown Into a considerable city. Tho Street
Railway company has caused to be sur
veyed In tho direction of WInterset, In
Madison county, another lino, which la
virtually an extension ot tho Valley Junc
tion Hue, crossing the Coon river ncai
Commerce nnd turning southward Into Mad
lson county. Tho route is feasnble and
when it Is built will greatly shorten tho
rail distance between Wlntcrsot and Dos
Moines.
Tho owners of tho city lines nlso an
nounco that within a short tlmo they will
lay out n lino to tho site of tho proposed
United States nrmy post, south of tho city
It is now deemed by Des Moines men prac
tically certain this post will bo cstab
ltshed, as It only remains for General Otis
nnd two other nrmy officers to approvo tho
ground offered. Ono or two lines of rail
road will bo built to tho site of tho post
nnd tho city Btrcet car lines will bo ex
tended to tho site. But tho electric cars
will not stop at the post. A lino has
been planned running south through i
well-settled fruit-growing country to Som
orset, in Warren county, nnd on to In-
dianola. Such n lino would also bring
many fnrmors Into closer touch with Des
Moines and It Is reasonably certain it will
be built.
Don Moines Inter-Vrhan Line,
Tho most ambitious project ot this kind
has for Us purpco tho operation ot th
tntcrurban lino f-om Des Moines to Now
ton, touching at Colfax and other towns
Strangely enough the promoter ot this
project Is a woman, n Mrs. Butler of Cleve
innd, O., nnd on this account tho project
has been much derided. But It has been
disclosed that Mrs. Butler has back at hor
the extensivo street railway interests
Cleveland, including tho Hannas nnd other
capitalists, nnd that they aro in earnest I
their proposals. Messrs. Jones and May
of Cleveland, tho engineer nnd business
agent respectively of tho Clevoland Inter
urban Railway compiny, wero in Lea Molncs
tho past woek looking oven;fuo plans. Tho
company will nsk a franchise? over ono street
of Des Moines to tho business center from
tho eastorn city limits and may build torml
nals n part of tho way. FranchUes will
also bo asked through Altoona, Mltchcl
vllle, Colfax and Newton. It is estimated
that tho greatest business ot this lino will
ho with Colfax. Tho Colfax springs has no
been patronized ns well by Des Moines pco
pie as by thoso from a distance becaus
of tho difficulty ot going thcro and back
again. It 1b expected that tho electric lino
will mako n rate ot 2G cents each way bo
tween Des Molncs and Colfax and as thcro
will be many trains a day Colfax will be
como practically a Des Molncs suburb.

News ot tho burning of the college build
ing of tho Iowa Stato college nt Ames was
heard with regret by the hundreds of
termer students of tho collego In central
Iowa. Tho name of tho college was for
many years tho Iowa Stato Agricultural
collego, but has been changed to Iowa
Stato college, as its scope has been broad
ened. Although there are flftocn buildings
on tho campus devoted exclusively to col
lego work nnd theso cost more than $500,000,
the collego trustees havo been considering
for soveral years tho ndvlsablllty of ask
ing for an appropriation to build a flno
now collegtata building. There hns been
no strictly collcglato building, an tho ono
destroyed waB used both as a dormitory
and a collogo building. Prof. Stanton, who
entered tho collego as a student In 1873
and has been an Instructor Blnco his grad
uation, says It has been tho design of tho
board of trustees, of which ho Is secretary,
to abolish tho dormitory system so far as
possible. In view of theso facts it is ex
pected tho trustees will ask that tho build
ing to bo erected on tho stto ot tho present
ruin will bo an entirely new colleglato
building, to bo dovotcd entirely to class
rooms, offices, Instruments, museum, etc.
Thcro Is a considerable town growing up
outsldo of tho campus, whero students can
secure rooms. A number of smaller build
ings aro bolng erected on tho campus also,
but there will not bo built any large dor
mitory for the boys. President Beardshcar,
who was absent nt tho tlmo of tho fire,
estimates that from $150,000 to $200,000
will bo oufflclcnt to erect a colleglato bulld-
lug such ns is noeded by tho college. As
tho stato executive council has $50,000 at
its dlBpocM for this purpose tho plans can
to madu larly. Tho college was ono of
tho first organized under tho Morrill act
and was for many years much better pro
vlded with funds than any other collego

Money I.lnsr Idle,
Tho money which Polk county was going
to lend to the country banks nt 4 per cent
Interest has not been taken by tho banks
that applied for loans and put up the re
quired bonds. Thero was $400,000 of the
fund borrowed to build a court house, but
which will not be used for a year or more,
Tho banks ore going to glvo time certifi
cates six months or a year but the courts
havo decided that the money can only
be loaned on demand certificates, hence
many of tho banks failed to call for the
cash at tho appointed time, Tho muddln
leaves Polk county with a large amount
of borrowed money lying idle whilo prep
arations ore being made to build a court
houso.
Abandons Honor Myaim,
GKIN.NEI.L, la., Ilcc. 9. (Special Tele
fc-roni.) IcVa college has rejected tho honor
system, or student control, of examina
tions by a decisive vote, only fifty-two votes
being registered In Its furor. Tho system
was adopted a few years ago as an experi
ment. It has not worked because of tho
disinclination on the part of the students
to report cases of cheating to tho student
council. A mass meeting was held a ftw
days ago to discuss tho matter and a pull
f the students, announced today, has defl-
itely decided to abolish the system.
