Thinks He Will Wis
This Time.
At the meeting of the city council to
night Alderman McDonald of the Fourth
ward will present a motion calling for the
removal of the electric light towers
throughout the city and the distribution of
these lights. Mr. McDonald Is of the opin
ion that he will receive sufficient support
to carry the motion and that before long
the antiquated, light towers will be con
signed to the Junk pile. While he believes
he will have a majority of the councllmen
with blm, Mr. McDonald expects some op
position from certain quarters but feels
that It Is the desire of the people at large
that the towers be taken down and by so
doing remove a constant source of danger
to the public and the men compelled to
work on them.
It Is expected that the Electric Light
company will make more or less objection
to the removal of the towers and being
put to the expense of relocating the lights
st street intersections but Alderman Mc
Donald Is determined to push the matter,
aa he believes the Interests of the public
at large should be considered by .the city
council before those of the corporation.
When the new contract between the city
and the Electric Light company was en
tered Into two years ago. It waa auggested
that the towers be dispensed with but
certain aldermen were opposed to the
proposition, believing that a greater area
could be lighted by the towers than by the
distribution of the lamps. Experience, It Is
said, has proven that this was a mistaken
Idea and that better results can be ob
tained by hanging the lights at the street
Intersections or wherever decided upon by
the committee on lighting. It Is contended
that during the greater part of the year
when the shade trees along the avenues
and residence streets are in foliage the
light from the towers Is practically use
less, whereas if the lamps were distributed
and hung at the street intersections far
better results would be obtained.
In presenting his motion at the meeting
of the city council tonight Alderman Mc
Donald will have the support of Alderman
Lovett, who is an experienced electrician
and chairman of the committee on light
ing. Gravel rooBng. A. H. Reld. 541 Broadway.
Women's Clab Matters.
Since their , return from the meeting of
club women of tbe Ninth congressional
district at Red Oak several prominent club
women of Council Bluffs are agitating the
question of a city federation. The benefit a
to be derived from federation were im
pressed upon the women who attended the
Red Oak meeting and they came home de
termined to organize one In Council, Bluffs

will tend to create a unity of effort among
the club women, which Is now lacking.
There are seventeen women's clubs In the
city with a membership of over 500 and
with a civic federation much, it is claimed,
could be accomplished. It is expected that
a general meeting of tbe clubs will be
called in tbe near future for tbe purpose
of organizing a city federation.

Boy Weald Wed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. 18. (Special.) The
question of th-s value of the crops of Iowa
Is one which the experts and investigators
are trying to solve now more earnestly
than ever before, for this year not only
Is the Iowa crop small but much of It is of
a quality that renders it unfit for tbe mar
ket. The annual report of the State Crop
and weather bureau on the yield and acre
age and value of Iowa crops will be due
in a few weeks. Director Sage is engaged
In securing the data from which to prepare
the report. He says that it is far more
difficult to secure this information this
year than in others for the reason there
is so much uncertainty about the actual
value of tbe crops. Some time ago the1
State Agricultural college people entered
upon an investigation to determine the
feeding value of soft corn, because there
Is tuch a large amount of It In Iowa thia
year. Prof. Weems of the state college,
conducted analysis to show tbst the amount
of food In tbe corn ia substantially the
same aa when it is very dry but it must
be fed soon to save this nutriment. Mr.
Sago has conducted an extensive inquiry
among farmers and feeders and flcds that
the feeding value of tbe aoft corn for im
mediate use is the same as for dry corn.
He therefore proposes to make inquiry as
to the proportion of grain which is mar
ketable and that which Is fit only for im
mediate use in feeding and to embody this
in the report for the first time. The deal
ers In grain are Interested more In the
marketsble grain than In that which Is
fit only for feeding on the farms, but the
latter will be Included In estimating tbe
total value of Iowa crops. The Inquiry as
to all manner of farm crops covers a wider
field than ever before and the results
pro:uivi! to bo more valuable than usual.
The staiihtits will not be given out until
late becauso of the Importance of wait
ing until tho crop Is all gatherel. It is
regal ded as entirely possible that much
damage may yet be done crops by unfav
orable weather most of tho corn remain
ing in the fields.
Stork Jadglng Team.
Tbe stock Judging team which will rep

to be a warm fight for tbe places.
Paroled Roy Wonld Get Married.
Governor Cumlnga is tln receipt of a

LEHIGH MINERS' LIFE
(Continued from First Page.)
from five to seven hours a day and the real
difficulty in the region Is that contract
labor prices are too high, as the men get
an amount sufficient for their wants by
working less than three-quarters of a day.
The men employed by the day work, as a
maximum, only nine hours, and as many
of them consume from half an hour to an
hour in going and coming from their work
to the foot of the shaft they do not work
even nine hours. As Illustrating the in
fluence of the excessive rates paid for con
tract work, It may be said that during
normal conditions in April of this year the
men working by contract earned only an
average of 13.02 a day, but when It became
probable that a strike would be ordered
tne same men earned an average oi
day.
Baals of Payment.
Tbe company asserts that payment by i
weight la impracticable at its mines, as
each mine constitutes a distinct problem
and the conditions vary from month to
month. The only method which has ever
given satisfaction at the company's work- 1
lngs, It is said, is psyment for cutting coal
by tbe lineal ya.d. Tbe rate of payment
can be determined only in each particular
case between the superintendent and the
miner. Some Influence, believed to be that
of the union, haa led the men to reduce tho
production, but notwithstanding this diffi
culty It remalna true thst tbe only way In
which wages can be satisfactorily measured
la by contract for the work done which
necessarily varies from mine to mine, and
some times between breasts upon the same
gsngway, and even upon the same breast
from day to day.
Objects to the Union.
The company emphatically protests
against the miners' demand that there shall
be an agreement with the United Mine
Workers of America, and in thia connection
the answer says:
The conditions of mining In the Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions are different from
those which exist In tho Wyoming una
Scranton districts. While this company
has no objection, therefore, to its own em
ployes organizing among themselves. It has
always objected and does object even to
an organization which include other an
thracite fields working tinder different sys
tems of compensation, as a result of which
Its men are ordered upon strikes by reason
of controversies In which they have no
Interest.
It would be still more Inexcusable that
any outside authority should assume to in
terfere In the discharge or an employe.
Every free man has the right to quit work
when and aa he chooses and the employer
must possess and be ablo to exercise tho

The commission has not decided on any
future arrangements. It is likely the entire
case of the miners, which is now being pre
sented to them, will be beard In this ctty
and it depends largely upon the wishes of
the coal companies where they will hear the
operators' side of the question at Issue.
The commissioners are satisfied to hear
both sides at Scranton.
President Mitchell of the miners' union,
the first witness for the miners, who waa
on the stand Friday and Saturday, will
again be In the witness box tomorrow. So
far tbe attorneys of only one company,
David Wlllcox, general counsel for the Dels,
ware & Hudson, has cross-examined him,
and Wayne MacVeagh, who ia representing
the Pennsylvania Coal company, and the
Hillside Coal and Iron company, is still
engaged in carrying on hla examination.
It Is not definitely known how many o(
the other companies desire to have their
attorneys question tbe miners president.
It Is probable the witnesses of the mine
workers will take up all of next week in
giving their testimony. Next to Mr. Mitch
ell the moBt Important witneas for the
miners will probably be Thomas D. Nlch
olls, president of District No. 1, of the
miners' union, which takes in all of the
mining territory around Scranton and
WIlkeBbarre.

the old but less prosperous friend, "that

"I'm sure of it." answered Mr. Cumrox.
"It'e a source of great comfort. I know
that if tbe coal strike continues I can use
it for fuel."
