NEW RULIXC ON CROSSINGS Eailrotdi Heed Hot Put Them in Where the Coit is Ezoftuire. national Guard officers., object Thinks Bone of the New Reeralatloas Are Too Stringent Corn Not Rlpenlaa- as Rapidly as Desired. . . (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 10. (Special.) The Iowa railroad commissioners toda ren dered a decision in a crossing case which Is regarded by .them as one of the most Important ever made because of the fact that it sets a precedent in a claas of very. Important cases about which there has long been much controversy. The board declined to order a railroad company to construct ' a crossing wltere landowners were demanding it, on the ground that the coat thereof waa excessive aa com pared with the value of the land benefited, or. In other words, establishing that the commissioners have discretion to decide such cases on the broad ground of equity and right and without following the strict letter of the1 law. The case waa brought by H. N. Griffin and others at Fort Dodge against the Great Western railroad. . The land separated was a small tract with six and a half acres on one side and fourteen and a half on the other, an unplatted tract but not used for farm land, and the grade at the point of crossing Is twenty feet high. The commission estimated 'that the land to. be benefited ia worth less than (4.000, while an under crossing, the only one feasible, would cost 110,000. First Use of Kew Law. The Iowa railroad commissioners' case came up today against the first applica tion of an entirely new law In which they will have s part Ho play. The county auditor of "alhoun county gave them notice as provided 'by the new drainage law, passed at the last session of the legis lature, to the effect that the engineer In charge of a certain proposed drainage dis trict and the engineer of the Rock Island railroad had failed to reach an agreement aato the place where the proposed drain should cross the right-of-way of the Gow rle line. The law provldca that In case of such - disagreement the railroad commis sioners shall view the place In company With the two engineers and determine where the drain ahall cross the railroad track. This is a function never before exercised by the commissioners. Object to Some Regalatlone. The captains and majors of the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-third regiments, Iowa National Guard, In camp here, called upon Governor Cummins today to see if they could not secure some modification of the regulations t the guard with reference to the officers. The new rules were made In accordance with the requirements of the board at .Washington and some, features are re garded as oppressive by the officers in the guard. Investment Companies Oat. The' secretary ' of the state executive counoil today notified the promoters of various land Investment companies that the state executive, council has decided upon refusing to Issue charters to all such companies unless their plan of business is materially changed. The council was given discretion to appro t he plans- of these companies and authorize them to do busi ness. Four or five were organised and commenced business before" their features were examined..

The most advanced fields show ears well filled and dented, while' the. bulk of the crop Is mostly In the roasting ear stage. Reports Indicate that with normal weather about one-third of the crop may be fairly well matured by September JO, and that to ripen the full orop tlere Is need of abun dant warmth and sunshine till October 1.
