(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. 11. (Special.) Tho
entire tax thus far assessed against tho
Independent car lines doing business in
Iowa, tho assessmsnt and taxation both
being by tho state executive council under
a new law, amounts to less than 11,000.
While this Is tho total of tho taxes claimed
to bo duo tho state under assessments
thus far entered ths fact Is that soma re
ports of companies arc still coming In and
tho assessment can bo entered up later, ss
there is no time limit thereon. At firs the
car companies refused to make reports or
to make their business known, and It was
only when they had become convinced that
von though they refused they would still
bo assessed ahd taxsd did they make re
ports to tho state offioiala. Those reports
are not as satisfactory as had been hoped,
but they form tho basis for a first assess
ment and fixing of a tax levy on which
the whole law may be tested If the com
panies so desire. Ths Independent car
lines have heretofore escaped taxation en
tirely and have been doing business In
Iowa for many years. Under tho new law
tho council assesses them on ths number
of cars made use of on an average for the
doing of business in Iowa, The rats of
taxation waa fixed at 1.83 per cent, and rn
this basis the several companies that havs
thus far come up for taxation and given
in reports have been assessed as follows:
Anglo-American Refrigerator Car line,
16.76; Swift Refrigerator Transportation
company, $116.08; Armour car lines, 1166.17;

Weekly bulletin of the Nebraska section
of the climate and crop service of the

August 10, 1903: The past week has been
tool, with Ught showers. The mean dally
temperature has averaged1 1 degrees below
normal.
The rainfall has generally been below
normal; local showers have occurred, which
in a few Instances gave a rainfall exceed
ing an Inch, but generally the rainfall was
less than half an Inch.
Harvesting Is about completed In northern
counties and threshing Is Just commencing.
The heavy rains of last week, together 1
with the showers of this week, have caused
stacking and threshing to progress rather
slowly In eastern counties, but In western
counties with lighter rainfall the progress
has-been rapid.. Barley ta yielding well.
The yield of rye and spring wheat continue
disappointing. Oats also are yielding rather
less than expected, but are a fair to good
crop In most districts, haying Is general.
with an excellent crop. Sugar beets are
growing well.. Corn has grown well, but
that temperature has been too low for very
rapid growth; early corn Is earing well;
late corn generally is tassellng and silking,
while some vsry late fields havs not
tasseled yet- The acreage of late corn is
large, and corn now needs warm, sunny
weather. Fall plowing has begun In many
localities, with soli In excellent condition.
Iowa Crop Coadttloa.
Weekly bulletin of tbe Iowa section of the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau for the week ending August 10, 1903:
Ths temperature of the last week was
nearly normal, but the nights were unsea
sonably cool. The rainfall was ample In all
sections, and .some . heavy and damaging
local storms occurred In the north central
and northeast districts.
In the larger part of the state conditions
were favorable for field work four or five
days during the week. Fair progress has
been made In threshing and stacking small
grain. Reports as to yield of wheat and
oats are generally unsatisfactory, both as
to the weight and measure of the output.
The condition of the grain, however, Is very
much better than the average of last year.
Tbe corn crop has made as much growth
as was possible under abnormal conditions,
the soli being generally wet and cold and
the temperature of the air unseasonably In
termittent. Some portion of the early
planted com on dry and warm land has
reached the roasting ear stage, while the
bulk of the crop Is straggling In ths rear,
and much of It unpromising. .There Is great
need of a long period of warm, dry, ripen
ing weather to make a gd yield even of
the most advanced portion of the crop. Ths
hay crop bids fair to break recent records
as to bulk' and quality. The pastures are
fine, and the meadows are bearing a heavy
burden of aftermath. The minor field crops
and apples are doing fairly well.

WASHINGTON, Aug. U.-The Weather

Corn Is making favarable progress In the
central and western portion of the corn
belt, but In the upper Ohio and middle At
lantic states the outlook Is less promising.
While the Improvement has been generally
decided In the states of the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys. In the more northerly
portions of these states tha crop Is in need
of warmth.
- Rains have checked somewhat the prog-,
ress of the spring wheat harvest, which,
however. Is now general throughout the
spring wheat reglorj.
Harvest Is sdvsnclng rapidly In Oregon
and will soon begin in Washington. . '
Oat harvest Is nearly finished, except In
New Tork, where It has Just begun. The

Cotton generally has made favorable
progress, but continues unusually late.
