DISCUSSION ON INDIAN CREEK PROBLEM
No Act lorn Taken Beyond Taklaar Bteps
to See What Dredge Can Re For
chased For raving
Diallers Up.
The new hawkers' and hucksters ordi
nance against which considerable opposi
tion developed at the previous meeting,
was rushed through to Its final reading
and passed last night by the city council.
The passage of the ordinance was urged
by Aldermen Olson nnd Crlppen, the
former agreeing on behalf of the Retail
Grocers' & Butchers' association to pay
for the publication of the measure. The
new ordinance, while It leaves the annual
license at $75, provides for an additional
license of $35 for every man besides him
self worked by the owner of a wagon li
cense to peddle. Thus, If a peddler uses
a helper, his annual license will be $110,
and if he uses two helpers $145, and so on.
Indian creek came up for the usual dis
cussion, with no action resulting, although
several of the aldermen suggested that
the work of deepening It be let by con
tract without further delay, as they were
opposed to the proposition of the city pur
chasing a dredge. Such a plan, they con
tended, would In the long run prove a
most costly experiment for the city. Mayor
Macrae, however. Insisted that If the city
could purchase a second hand dredge at
a reasonable figure the work could be
done cheaper than by contract. Two of
the aldermen who contemplate attending
the democratic convention In St. Louis
were "authorized" to go to Chicago at
their own expense and see what they
could do In the way of securing a cheap
dredge.
The council recently passed an ordinance
reducing the width of Benton street be
tween curb lines to thirty-two feet. This
did not prove agreeable to all of the prop
erty owners on this street, so last night
anothor ordinance further reducing the
width two feet, thus making it thirty feet,
was passed. ,
The question of paving Upper Broadway
was discussed and the streets and, alleys
committee was Instructed to make a re
port at the next meeting relative to es
tablishing the curb lines.
The mayor was authorized to enter Into
an agreement with Fred Rapp, secretary
of the South Side Improvement club, for
the renting of the engine house to be
erected by the residents of that section of
the city.
An Invitation to the mayor, aldermen
and all city officials, elective and ap
pointive, whether wearing uniforms or not,
to attend services' especially for their
benefit, at the First Baptist church on the
morning of Sunday,. June 24, was received
and accepted, , i
Henry Kay was , granted permission to
conduct a saloon at 219 South Main street.
Small Sam, bat Blst Question.
In a suit brought In the district court
yesterday In which'-tjie 'Interstate Coal &
Coke company appears as plaintiff and The
Western Fuel company of this city Is de
fendant the amount Involved Is merely
nominal, being only $45.81, but the Question
raised Is an important one alike to whole
sale and retail coal dealers.
In the early part of December last the
Western Fuel company ordered from the
plaintiff company a carload of Indiana
coal. The coal was' shipped December 30
but was not received here until February
28. In the meanwhile the Western Fuel
company wrote 'several times to the Inter
state Coal & Coke company inquiring about
the cause of the delay and Impressing
upon the plaintiff company that the coal
was needed for Its winter trade and not
for summer. Finally the local company
countermanded the order, but the shipping
company refused to accept the counter
mand. When the coal finally reached here
the Western Fuel company declined to ac
cept It, and the railroad sold It. The
Interstate Coal & : Coks company now
brings suit to recover from tie Council
Bluffs firm the difference between the
price quoted on the, coal and the amount
realized by the forced sale.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June U tSpeclal.) The
reporta ot the railroad companies doing
business In Iowa, showing the business
dona In 1902, have all been received by the
state officers, except In the case of three
or four of the small companies. These re
ports show a considerable Increase in the
aggregate of business dune, but a material
decrease In the profits on the business as
compared with the previous year. In fact,
one must go back five years to find any
year with as small net profits to the Com
panies on Iowa business.
The gross receipts from Iowa business
as shown by these reports, counting the
unreported roads, whloh do a business ot
lens than $150,000, as the same ss last year,
aggregated for 1W3 a total of $58,441,037.
The year beforo it was $1,976,732 less. The
gain of 1902 over 1901 wss less than $400,000.
The net earnings of tho Iowa business, as
reported, was $15,028,551. This was $2,105,550
less than the previous year.
Of the aggregate of receipts for 19(18 the
six big roads the Northwestern, Burling
ton, Rock Island, Milwaukee, Great West
ern and Illinois Central had a total of $r2,
874,194, or en Increase over 1902 of $1,316,772.
But these same six companies bore prac
tically all the decrease In net earnings, or
$2.0K),463.
The five systems of considerable mileage
In the state of next importance are ths
Iowa Central, Wabash, Minneapolis A St
Louis, Omaha and Great Northern. These
five systems had $4,435,705 In gross receipts,
a gain of only $67,998. The same roads
showed an Increase of $78,004 In net earn
ings. This leaves for all the smaller roads
an Increase in receipts of $681,972 and a
decrease In earnings of $138,091. The com
panies not yet reported are the Colfax
Northern, Manchester & Onlda, Muscatine
North A South. Newton A Northwestern
and Tabor A Northern.
Last year the State Assessing board
raised the assessment on Iowa railroad
property so that the assessment was sub
stantially the same as the gross receipts,
whereas In other years there had been a
difference of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. But
last year the showing was of an enormous
Increase in net earnings and this year
there Is a decrease In net earnings.
The work of. making the assessment be
gins In about a month, and the State board
at the same time acts as a board of re
view for the assessment of personal prop
erty In the state.
Soda Water Wins In Court.
. Soda water won a great victory In the
supreme court today. The high Judicial
body definitely settled the status of soda
water and ice cream and declared that
the sole of these refreshments In their
season does not make of the place where
they are sold either an eating house, a
restaurant or a saloon. In a contest be
fore the court to prevent Issuance of drug
gists' liquor sale penults In Wlnterset the
complainants set up that the druggists
sold soda water and Ice cream In their
places, and, as keepers of restaurants,
eating houses and. satoons may not have
sale permits, these druggists should be
barred.
We think this would be a strained and
unreasonable interpretation of the statute,"
says the court. "The sale of soda waters
and Ice cream Is ordinarily carried on as
a mere incident in connection with some
other business or occupation, .and It would
be a wide departure from the usual and
accepted meaning of the words to hold
that every ' place in which such refresh
ment Is found Is to be classed as a res
taurant, eating house or saloon."
There were four of these cases, and re
versal was ordered In two, both being be
cause the record showed that the appli
cants had been guilty of violation of the
law In the Illegal sale of liquors.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOP. CROPS

Conditions Favorable tn Crops.
SHENANDOAH, la., June 13.-(flpeclal.)-Southwestern
Iowa Is st the dawn of the
fattest year In her history. If present pros
pects for bounteous crops of all kinds
point the way, and this Is especially true
of Pago and Fromont counties, where
the outlook for oil kinds of fruits without
a single exception Is most promising. The
cold spring kept the shrubbery of all kinds
dormant, likewise the buds on the trees,
and when they finally came out all danger
of frost, was past snd not a bloom of any
kind has boon Injured. The result,, of
course. Is that the berrlos of all kinds, ths
poach and cherry trees, the apple, plum
and, In fact, all fruits are making most
abundant promise.
The hay and small grain crop will ex
ceed that of last year, which was good,
and the last ten days hns put the cor.t
prospect away up In the pictures. The
seed corn agitation resulted In more care
being used In the selection of seed corn
and tho result Is that the stand Is fine,
A good bit of wet weather In May retarded
the planting, but all cf June so far has
been warm and, as the farmers call It,
"growing weather," plenty dry enough ta
plow the corn ond hill the weeds.
With all these splendid prospects Page
nnd Fremont counties will break all past
records go far as splendid crops are con
cerned, unless something unforeseen and
unheard of prevents.
