In the case of the expreaa companies, how

The mileage of the railroad in Potta
wattamie county shows the only change
since last year. The Chicago and Council
Bluffs division of the Milwaukee, which
last year had a mileage of 266, has thia
year a mileage ot 16.64.
The assessed valuation, which Is one-
fourth of the actual valuation, la reduced
only In the case of the Burlington. Last
year it waa assessed at $11,369 a mile, while
this year the assessment Is 311.368. The
assessment of the mam line of the Union
Pacific ia this year Increased 325 per mile,
but aa the mileage Is. so small this does
not mean a big Increase. The Ksnsas City,
St. Joseph & Council Bluffs line ot the
Burlington Is raised 317 a mile, as Is the
main line ot the Northwestern. The as
sessment per mile of the Omaha Bridge &
Terminal railway la Increased 32, while

Telephones and Telegraph.
The certificate of assessment of tho tele
phone and telegraph companies has not
yet been Issued by the state executive
council. For several years past the execu
tive council has failed to get Its report of
mileage ot telephone and telegraph com
panies tabulated In time to be of use dur
ing the year It was made, and each suc
ceeding year the council has Instructed
county auditors to figure the assssment
on the mileage reported for the previous
year. A similar order Is looked for this
year by County Auditor Cheyne.
The assessments made by the state execu
tive oounoll are apportioned by tbe county
auditor to every subdivision of the county,
which Is a task of considerable magnitude.
Final action is tsken by the Board of Su
pervisors at Its September session, when
the tax levy, according to law. Is made.

Information for Visitors.
Arrangements ai;e being made to have a
bureau of Information- In the court house
opposite the Unlo4 depot during the two
weeks of the - state f sir for the benefit
Ighteen-hole course when the Associated
press representstlve approached him. in
response to a request for a statement on
he death of Senstor Allison, he snld:
"Senstor Allison will be long remembered
not only In lows, but throughout the
whole country. He rendered most use-
ul service to the nation during a public
areer which for length ha srsrcely a
parallel In the history of the Unlti-d
States. He was a calm, contemplative
man and for many years his rounet hat
been more generally sought than that of
any other man In public life. Had he
lived to the end of the term which he wss
holding at the time of his death he would
have served his state thlrty-slx years In
the senate.
'He entered congress In tho middle of the
civil war and hla Influence has been felt
all Important legislation of the last
forty-five years. His desth will be lsmented
everywhere, but nowhere so profoundly
as among the people of Iowa."
Governor Cummins refused to make any
formal statement regarding his candidacy
to succeed Senator Allison, beyond the dec-
srstlon that he would make an effort to
be selected.
It was suggested to the governor that If
he should resign the appointive power
would vest In Lieutenant Governor Warren
Oarst of Iowa. Thla Intimation that he
might become the Junior senator of his
state brought no response from the governor.
The governor made it plain that he be
lieves his friends regard him a the logical
successor of Senator Allison. He declared
that Senator Allison had defeated him
In the recent primary election by a com
paratively slender majority and for this
reason he thought that his candidacy would
be received with favor In his state. He
Intimated that a majority of the members
of the leglslsture which Is to elect a sen
ator for the term beginning March 4. 1909,
are friendly to him and he was outspoken
n his hope that these men will vote for
him. ,
DES MOINES, Aug. 5. In the absence of
Governor Cummins, his friends here have
been speculating as to whether he would
appoint someone to fill the vacancy caused
by Senator Allison's death, call an extra
session, or resign to be appointed by Lieu
tenant Governor Garat, who would succeed
him as governor. It Is believed In Des
Moines that the statement by the governor
at Lake Forest, 111., that he will appoint
someone to fill the vacancy Is final. Two
names have been mentioned In connection
with the appointment former Governor
William Larrabee and former State Sena
tor A. B. Funk. '
Senator Allison defeated Governor Cum
mins In the republican primary election on
June 2 by about 10,000 majority In a vote of
200,000. This made certain the re-election
of Mr. Allison for a seventh term next
winter. His death renews the fight for
his seat, but transfers It from the primary
ballot to the legislative caucus.

Country Has Lost a Great Servant and
a Great Stateaman.
HOT SPRINGS. Va., Aug. 6.-Judge Taft
tonight sent the following telegram regard
ing the death of Senator Allison to the
senstor's home:
"In the 'death of Senator Allison the
country has lost a great public servant
and great statesman. He was a most wise
counsellor and legislator. No one can over
estimate the benefit that he by his long
service In the house and senate rendered
his country. The burden he has had to
carry for many years as the head of the
appropriationa committee of the senate
did not attract the attention that the pub
lic give to more Interesting, but less Im
portant legislative action. '
"I am greatly shocked to hear of his
death. I loved him as everyone did who
came within the Influence of his' sweef
nature and strong character. He was a
wsrm friend of my father and mother. I
consulted him aa one would a father. It
la a great privilege to have known him.
