COUNCIL BLUFFS.
STICK FOR SOUTH AVENUE
Objection ii Htds t Oiriog it Up for Uis
of Tabor E'tctrio Lint.
PROTEST IS READY FOR CITY COUNCIL
IadlrAtlnna Are that dervml (hiniri
Will llr Mftde In Franchise
Ordinance lie fore It la
Finally Adopted.
It xppctpd that when the city council
mets tonight to consider the ordinance
granting the Council Bluff. Tabor & South
ern Klectric Railway company a franchise
a protest will be filed against the company
being permitted to occupy South avenue
for freight purposes. In fact, there Is con
siderable opposition to the company being
permitted to lay any tracks on this thor
oughfare under any circumstances.
South avenue Is the mala thoroughfare
from the southeast Into the city and the
travel on It Is at all times heavy. When
the Great Western, was seeking an entrance
Into Council Bluffs It was denied a right-of-way
on South avenue, and not only was
It forced to buy Its right-of-way parallel
to the avenue, but the city council com
pelled It to keep Its tracks at least 100 feet
from the roadside and In addition construct
a hedge between the road and the railroad
tracks for the protection of the fanners
who use this thoroughfare.
The ordinance now before the city , coun
cil gives the Tabor line the right to. use
over one-third of South avenue for Its
tracks, over which It may run both pas
senger and freight trains. Those who op
pose such a proposition insist that the com
pany should be obliged to purchase a right-of-way
the same as the Great Western, and
that under no circumstances should It be
permitted to run Its freight trains on this
highway.
When the ordinance was first presented
to the city council more than one alderman
Htht to occupy South avenue, and some
maUtial change in the measure, it is said,
can be looked for tonight when the ordi
nance will come up on its secon.t reading.

NEW WORK SUFFERS LITTLE INJURY
Commission Report Shows Jost 'What
Had Bern Done Before the Fire
In Matter of Putting Build
ing In Shape.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jan. 10.-l.8peclal.)-A good
deal of misunderstanding has existed In
regard to the exact conditio of the con
tracts on the state house work at the time
of the fire of last Monday which caused
much damage to a portion of the building.
The estimates of the damage done have
been reduced a little since the first inspec
tion of the ruins, but the general Impres
sion still prevails that much of the money
Bpent for repairs has been wasted because
of the fire and what has been done will
have to be done over again. But the mem
bers of the capltol commission point out
that this is not true. The capltol commis
sion could have bad little or no general
supervision over the clearing up of the
wreckage but for the authorization of the
executive council. The work of the capltol
commission was but little interfered with.
The executive council, which is the custod
ian of the state house and all state prop
erty and is responsible for Its safe keep
ing, made immediate use of the capltol
commission and Its engineers and foremen
to assist in getting matters straightened
out. The members of the commission have
worked all week with unceasing activity.
President Funk went home to Bplrit Lake
over Sunday and E. P. Shoentgen, the
secretary, went to his home in Council
Bluffs. The commission will meet again
Monday, however, and continue the in
vestigations and the work.
The report of the capltol commission
which has Just been made to the governor
and printed makes a showing of the condi
tion of the contracts on the work done.
This report includes a statement from
Secretary Harsh directly on this question.
This statement Is as follows, indicating
the exact payments of the commission dur

STOCK BREEDERS' CONVENTION
Coloael Harris Gives an Interesting
Talk on the Short
bora, AMES, la., Jan. 10. (Special,) The towa
Improved Stock Breeders' association held
Its thirtieth annual convention at the Iowa
state college Saturday. Last night the fol
lowing officers were elected for the coming
year: President, E. M. Wentworth of State
Center; vice president, O. H. Brlggs of
Mt. Vernon;, secretary-treasurer. Prof. W.
J. Kennedy of Ames; district vice presi
dents, B. F. Valle of Bonaparte, J. I. Nich
ols of West Liberty, H. J. Hess of Water
loo, A. M. Avery of Mason City, P. D.
Tomson of Cedar Rapids, H. D. Nichols of
Newton, H. C. Wallace of Des Moines,
J. B. Harsh of Creston, Charles Est her, jr.,
of Botna, E. H. White of Esthervllle and
S. R. Haines of Storm Lake.
Colonel W. A. Harris, the man who first
crossed the Cruikshank Shorthorns of
Scotland on the American Shorthorn, gave
an Interesting account of the history of
our present Shorthorn breed. In the early
70s the Shorthorn breed was bred up to
so fancy and blue-blooded a standard as
to be practically ruined as the farmer's
cow. The breed was aristocratic, long
legged and narrow. It lacked In all the
demands of a dual-purpose cow, but it had
all kinds of blood, and the prices it com
manded were astounding. When a certain
fancy cow was sold to an Englishman for
348,600 Mr. Harris revolted. He had al
ways believed in the Shorthorn as the
farmer's cow, the life of the cattle in
dustry. But the standard to which the
breed had been brought ruined it for that
purpose.
Amos Cruikshank at that time maintained
a herd of Shorthorns in Scotland which
were short-legged, broad and full-chested,
with well sprung ribs. The herd had lieen
bred with regard to Individuality alone.
Blood, registry and pedigree had counted
for nothing with Mr. Cruikshank. Mr.
Harris Imported Cruikshanks. He crossed
them on the aristocratic American Short
horn, and he saved the Shorthorn as the
farmer's cow. Today the men who scoffed
at Colonel Harris now hall him as th
founder of the sturdy, beef producing, milk
producing Shorthorn, the farmer's cow,
known the world over, adaptable to all
conditions and all purposes, and as Mr.
Harris says, "the hope of the cattle breed.
Ing Industry."
Total $ 70,089 35
This means that the commission had in
Its hands the first of the year out of the
3125,000 made available July 1 last the sum
of $4.13.83, out of which the unpaid Mils
and accounts were to be paid; or, rather,
that this small sum is available for any
Immediate use the capltol commission
mtf ht deem necessary, while over 370,000 re
mains to be provided for by special act of
the legislature. All that commission asked
in the report was that this payment be
made from the funds which would other
wise be available July 1 next. It Is all ap
propriated, but is not available yet.
The plan of the commission Is to have the
work made necessary by the lire done Im
mediately or during the present year, while
the repair work which was planned for the
completion of the capltol will be put off for
two years or more. It will not make any
'change In the plans "but delay the comple
tion of the plans. The actual damage to
the work done by the commission was not
to exceed 310.000.
Report on Fire Damage.
The report of the commission on cost and
time ef the repairs was:
We were charged with the duty of clear
ing the rubbish created by the fire In the
north wing of the capltol. of removing all
elements of peril to workmen and to ascer
tain particularly as to whether or not the
structural conditions are such as to make
safe the occupancy of the hall of the house

of represents Uvea should temporary repairs
be made for this purpose.
Owing to the short time permitted for in
vestigation It has been Imiwvwihle to give
scrutiny to every detnll nf the structural
iron work. We are prepnred to siiy. how
ever, that experts who have gone over the
construction assure v.s that nothing more
than minor defects exist defects that mny
be remedied within a few days and whilo
the repairs are being made.
The next point of most Importance Is the
time required to pl.ice the hall In cimdltlon
for occupancy by the honst-, nf representa
tives, it Is difficult to mnke anything like
exact, calculation at this point. There Is a
good deal of work to do in the treatment
of the structural Iron. tenior:iry celling Is
required, many new desks are to lie sup
plied, new windows are to Ik plaeed and a
great deal of work, rtlfflmlt to dliigram In
this connection, must be done. We have
given a good deal of consideration to the
matter of a temporary celling It natur
ally occurred that It should be made of
boards, which would require a large
amount nf expense and labor In the matter
of staging. The suggestion has been made
by a member of the general assembly that
this temporary ceiling he of heavy canvas.
The more consideration we have given to
this suggestion the more practicable It
would appear. Tt can be put In at much
less expense and in much less time than
If constructed of boards.
We have assumed that If It were thought
best to occupy this room during the ses
sion. Tin attempt at adornment would be
expected and that only the plainest kind
of repairs to the end of comfortable con
ditions would be desired that time and
needless expense could Ik- avoided. In our
Judgment if a wooden celling Is put In. not
less than three weeks will be required to
place the hall In condition for use. If,
however, the cloth celling is adopted, we
believe the work can be done within a
limit of from twelve to fifteen days.
It is Impossible to make anything like
close calculation as to thp cost of these re
pairs. It Is believed, howm-er, that with
board celling the cost would not exceed
$5.im, and with cloth celling no more than
$3.0110. Of course we do not announce these
figures as being anything more than ap
proximate, as guess work necessarily en
tered largely into the calculation.
We regret that, owing to the great haste
in the collection of Information made nec
essary by the early demand for this re
port, the general confusion prevailing and
the pressure upon our time and thought on
account of other duties, this report is no
more definite.
LINCOLN MAY DROP BASE BALL
Apathy nf Traction Company Dis
courages the Other Kn
thnalasts. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 10. (Special Telegram. )
Lincoln, as an applicant for a franchise in
the Western Base Ball league. Is practically
down and out. Ixical enthusiasts who tlrst
counseled with President Sexton, solicited
subscriptions of stock and cash and secured
several thousand dollars nulnelent to meet
with Sexton's Ideas of what would be nec
essary to finance the team. The apathy,
however, of the Lincoln Traction company
bids fair to kill the project. Chairman
Turner of the soliciting committee said to
day: "The committee Is strongly tempted
to not go before the league directors at
their meeting In this city next Tuesday. The
street car people were iLbout the only ones
who stod to make any money out of a re
vival of the game In Lincoln, and if they
are so shortsighted ns to refuse to promote
the game by contributing to its support
financially, I am In favor of calling every
thing off. Personally, I think we could
finance the team without any aid from the
street car company, but without any sup-
Sort from the latter we might as well let it
rop."

MAGAZINE for January
R. H. RUSSELL. Publisher
A Romance of Wall Street"
j
ANE WADE, private secretary to a Wall Street magnate, is a new writer
whose work shows remarkable strength and an extraordinary knowledge
and penetration in describing the conditions of the country's financial
center and the people who revolve around it. Miss Wade appears in the
January number with the first chapters of a new serial entitled " A Leaf in the
Current." This novel is autobiographic and bids fair to be one of the great
literary sensations of i9o4. It .is so unusual in its character and its style, so
vital in its theme, so real, so modern, that no one who reads the initial chap
ters will fail to follow the fortunes of the people who move in a stirring
drama in which one lone woman is the heroine and the center of interest.
