IOWA STILL LACKS TRAINS
Railroad Traffio Disorganized, Es
pecially in North.
FEW CARS FOR COAL OR STOCK
t'nna-rraanian Dawson's Decision Bin
Sarprla to Kast State Republicans
Charles Grille for
Vacatur.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MOINES, Jan. 17. (Sprc'al Telegram.)-Complaints
to the State Railway
cotrrtnlHslon today indicate that the car
shortage, or rather train Ahortuge. has nnl
yet been relieved, and that shippers In tlis
state not only have much difficulty In
securing cars of coal, but In getting cars
with which to ship stock and Implements.
It has been found Impossible, edpclny In
rorlhern Iowa, to move all the trains
r.rcessary for ordinary business, and it Is
giently feared that a second storm now
will result In great disaster. -...
Dawson's Withdrawal Causes Stir.
The announcement from Wnwhlngton of
the retirement of Congressman Dawson of
the Second Iowa district caused a great
stlr among politicians of enstern Iowa At
ence. His district is a democratic one and
It has long been regarded an doubtful If
any other emild secure the place. When
the state was gerrymanded the Second din-
trlct was cut out for a democratic district
so ..that all the other districts could he
made safely republican. But George Curtis
ard Joe R. Lane both won It from the
democrats, and then Judge Wade, now
democratic national committeeman;-got it.
Dawson bent him elht years aso and has
held the district since. It is known the
district is close and there are fears that
it will now to easily to the democrats.
It has been expected among democrats
that Senator J. A. DeAi mand of Davenport
would be their candidate. Ho Is a brother
of the distinguished Missouri man who, was
burned to death Inst fall. Dr. DeArmand
Is rot, however, very strong In the district
outside of Davenport. Senator John Tj.
Wilson of Clinton Is regarded as-possibly
a candidate of the democrats. Judge Wade
would not accept ngaln.
For the republicans It may be that the
selection will depend upon the democratic
candidate. J. A. Haniey of Davenport has
been mentioned, but is understood to not
be a candidate. Colonel George AV. French
of Davenport l regarded as available, but
he Is a busy man and has little taste for
politics. Theodore Carstensen. former mom.
ber of the legislature from Clinton, Is re
garded as a candidate. He Is strong with
the labor element. John Cownle, a member
of the Board of Control, lives In the dis
trict, but he docs not plan to get Into
politics.
Information from eastern Iowa Is that an
effort Is to be made to copcentrate among
republicans for the nomination of Charles
Grllk of Davenport as successor to Con
gressman Dawson. He Is a lawyer and a
German and has never held office.
Announcement a Surprise.
The announcement of Dawson came as a
surprise. He was popular in the -district.
He had received his training with the
standpat element, tut his district was
overwhelmingly progressive In Bentlment
and he has so played the game aj to
satisfy both factions at home. But It Is
understood that he realised that It was
going to be exceedingly difficult to satisfy
the demands of his constituents and con
tinue to hold a prominent place In the
house and be In position to get things
for his district. . .
Dawson was formerly a newspaper man
and shorthand reporter. . .He went, to Wash
ington as secretary to Congressman Cur
tis and later became secretary to Senator
Allison. He handled the sneakers' bureau
years,
Other Candidates Hesitate.
The situation at Washington as ithas
been' developed recently Is causing some
hesitancy on the part of the various can
didates In aeverai districts of Iowa about
making their announcements. The an
nouncement of Judge Towner In the Eighth
has been held up because he Is not qnlte
certain he can be elected. In the First S.
W. Brookhart Is waiting to see how things
turn out In Washington before entering
the race. In the Sixth Ellsworth Roinlnger
would like to be a candidate' against Ken
dall, but it Is said to be fearful that the
situation in Washington will make his elec
tion doubtful. '
The belief Is general here that the with
drawal of Dawson will have an adverse
effect upon the candidacies of bdth Captain
Hull and Judge Smith. Generally it will
be taken to mean that Dawson had to get
out because he realized his district was
not with him entirely In his support of the
program for the speakely The progres
sives are preparing to take advantage of
this, situation.
Movement to Oust Wllsqn.
Iowa.farfers have learned that there Is
a movement on foot to get rid of Secre
tary Wilson at Washington. They are not
fully apprised as to the reason nor the
method, but it Ib known that a deter
mined effort Is now to be rnaua .to secure
auother man for the secretary ; of agrl
culture. An Ohio man, R. W. Dunlap, it
is said, has buen selected . for tho place.
It is known here among the closo friends
of Secretary Wilson that at the time Mr
'Xart went into office he had it In mind
to. appoint a younger and more active
man for secretary- -of agriculture. Iowa
friend learned of this and organized a
fight to retain him, which was effective.
Now they do not feel so much interest in
the matter. ' " :
Thome for Commissioner.
Clifford Thorne of Washington, la., V-Js
being considered for candidate rbr rail
road commissioner of Iowa. He is the at
torney for the Iowa shipper who. 'has
fought all their rate cases for them andSjie
is said to be one of the best .informed
men on rate matters in the country. There
has usually been one attorney on the
commission. Mr. Eaton Is not a candidate.
It Is . regarded as Improbable that Mr.
Palmer will be a candidate again.
Want Talk on Good Roads.
Governor Carroll today ltutued a call for
a- convention to---CT)nHlder the problem of
how to get good roads under the present
Iowa laws. The meeting will be held
March 8 and 9 and It will Include mem
bers cf the legislature and representatives
from various towns and city commercial

a meeting of the Iowa thresher men, at

Mast ray for Horse Killed.
The American Express company lll
have to pay for loss of a horse under pe
culiar circumstances. The horse was one
sent to W. G. Cox of Dubuque by Ms
daughter In I'tlca, N. Y., by express. It
became necessary to keep the horse over
night In Chicago, and an employe of the
express company undertook to lesd uie
animal along a busy street when she be
came unmanageable and threw herself in
such a way-as to cause death. The Iowa
court holds that tt was for the Jury to
saw whether the company was negligent.
Cox secured a. verdict for the value of tho
animal.

Cox against American Express company,
appellant, Dubuque county, affirmed.

Title to Whole Town Involved.
. An Important case was argued to the
state supreme court today Involving title
to the land on which the town of Kings

seems that the title came through a man
named Smyth, in 1875, and that afterwards
he went insane, and as a consequence It is
now claimed that ths tlltle Is not good..

LAST WORK ON BIG CODY DAM
Wyoming Town Celebrates Comple
tion of Monster Projeotr - -
LAKE FOURTEEN MILES LONG
Reservoir Will liar Capacity
to
t Water 1SS.OOO Acres of l.aad
for Two Yeara On Site
of Ancient Lake.
CODY, Wyo., Jan. 17. (Speclal.)-Thc
citizens of Cody and tho Shoshone valley
are celebrating the completion of the
Immense government dam Just above this
city, for today thJ last bucketful of ce
ment was dumped on the huge structure
and smoothed Into place amid the cheers
of the workmen and several hundred en
thusiastic citizens, who were present to
witness the event. The celebration was
continued throughout ths day and far
Into the night In Buffalo Bill s town, al
though It was entirely Informal.
The big dam finished today Is the high
est structure of Its kind In the world. It
is S28 feet high, eighty feet long at the
base, 200 feet at the top, and more than
100 feet thick. It will Impound water suf
ficient to irrigate 132.000 acres of land for
two years and will Create a lake four
teen miles long and three miles wide, with
a maximum depth of over 200 feet. Four
years have been required to complete the
work. A smaller dam, known as the
Corbett diversion project, was completed
last year. This lower dam Is of concrete
and designed to raise the water of the
Shoshone river about fourteen feet, carry
ing It to and through a tunnel over three
miles In length to the main canal of the
Shoshone project. The next unit In the
big project will be the construction of
the high line canal, which will take water
direct from the Jtlg reservoir and dis
tribute it to many additional acres In the
immediate vicinity of Cody.
On Site of Ancient Lake.
The completion of the big dam today
paves the way for the restoration of an
ancient lake proven to have existed thou
sands of y?ars ago. When this lake over
flowed, the water gradually wore a pas
sageway through the solid granite moun
tain and In the course of numberless cen
turies formed a gorge eight miles in
!nth and several hundred feet deep,
leaving the ' lake bed dry. Behind the
solid mountain of masonry Just completed
by the reclamation service the angry flood
waters of the Shoshone river will be held
until once more the ancient lake Is created
this time to be held for the use and
benefit of the settlers on 132,000 acres of
land.
Before work could be commenced on the
dam, the government found It necessary to
construct a wagon road through the almost
Inaccessible gorge worn by the river. In
many places this roadbed Is tunnelled
through the rocky sides of the granite
walls, and for several, miles the road was
blasted out of th. sheer granite face of
Rattlesnake mountain. This road now
forms the first eight miles of Cody's
magnificent route to the National park.
An entire year was required to complete the
wagon road.
Capacity of Hpge Beacryolr.
The storago capacity of the big reser
voir will be 466,000 acre feet. The main
canals will be sixty miles In length and
the laterals 150 miles. ' Only 'the flood
waters of the Shoshone river will be Im
pounded, and it Is estimated that It, will
require two years to fill the lake io Its
capacity, although the project has a drain
age area of 1.3S0 square miles. Many fine
ranches now the property of the gfcvern
mont will be completely submerged by tlte
Impounded waters. -
The first American to visit the vioinlty
of the Shoshone dam was John Colter.
He bad been with Lewis and Clark on
their famous trip of exploration to the
northwest, but on the return trip left the
party to trap and hunt on the Upper Mis
souri. Later he Joined a party under Lisa,
the enterprtslng Spanish explorer, and ac
companied U to the Big Horn river. Two
years were spent In hunting and trapping
on the Big Horn and its tributaries, and It
was while here that Colter discovered the
Shonsone canyon and the now famous hot
mineral springs at Cody. Colter's stories of
the wonders of the region now incorpor
ated in the Yellowstone park were received
In derision by trappers and traders with
whom he later associated and ' It. was
nearly fifty years before that now fa
mous region received official notice and
exploration began.

Conservatives Lose Hope.
Although both sides preserve a sanguine
air of confidence, it was evident-today that
the conservatives have abandoned hope that
their party will form the next government.
The utmost they dure to expect is that the
liberal majority will be so reduced in the
next Parliament as to place the liberals at
the mercy o( the nationalists1. w y ,.
It must be remembered that Mr. Balfour,
leader of the opposition in the House ot
Commons, in a, speech some duys ago said
that the great political Issues now In ques
tion, would not be settled by one general
election, and perhaps not by two. Clearly
the ex-premier accurately measured the
situation and the hopes of the tariff re
formers must now be centered upon some
future general election.
Good Majority for Liberal.
An t st I mate made today after careful
calculation by a well Informed unionist,
based on Saturday's pollings, gives the lib
eral and laborles a clear majority of kO,
or 100, over all other parties, which would
provide the liberal government with a good
working majority. Many ot the unionists,
however, are less de spoudent. They do "not
believe that the ltberuls will finish the
election with so good a record as this.
At the National Liberal club great satis
faction Is expressed over the results so
far. Some further losses are expected at
Glasgow and a reduced, vote In lhi En
glish counties where the agricultural in
terests would be likely to benefit from
tariff reform aud where the landed Inter

Mr. Hitchcock suggested to the eoSnmlt
tee that the following - government em
ployes' be called to furnish, speclflo (n
forma"n,' explaining that he i was "per
sona non grata'' with Ihe Interior depart
ment and Unit the .rnmmlttea was In a bet
ter position' to olrt a(n the facts. J. V. Yel
verton, chier of division P, or his assistant,
Bert Marshall, or Irving' Kltteahouse, chief
of the accounts division, general land of
fice, concerning the purchase of desks, fil
ing caju-s, etC out of the million-dollar
fund. FrflVid, Bond, Chief clerk . of the
general land offloe, concerning eighty odd
clerks performing ordinary clerical duties
not conrtectod In anyway with the pro
tection ' of the' public domain, though so
paid. . j
Other (hsrgei Made.
Concerning the office of chief of field
service, occupied, by II. H. Bcharts, the
statement 'alleges that, position was cre
ated for Mr. SchWarts without warrant ot
law, his salary bring raised from $2,000 as
special agent - to (4,200 as chief of field
service,-or $700 mora than his Immediate
superior, the assistant commissioner. His
messenger's salary was raised from $720 a
year to $900, It is alleged.
Mr. Hitchcock suggested there doubtless
were other excessive salaries and large ex
pendltures paid out of this funl, and rec
ommended investigation ' of statements
made In anonymous letters to htm that de
clared Mr. Ballipger's system of files has
"so mixed, confused, befogged the clerks,
files and records that there Is now abso
lutely' no one who knows anything about
anything that appertains to the office,'' re
quiring over 100 clerks against fifteen un
der the old system.
Special agents, says Mr. Hitchcock, have
been selected from clerks at Washington,
who know practically nothing of the lands
of the west nor ot fraudulent methods ot
law.
Mr. Hitchcock suggests ths committee de
mand an Itemized statement of expendi
tures under the fund and avoids reffrence
to the question of favoritism and fraud In
the land office because he says "ttjey are
not questions the committee can properly
Investigate."
Tho committee probably will tneet next
Saturday to'contlnue the Investigation.
"Mr. Hitchcock's statement," s,ald Chair
man McGuire of the committee, "was based
solely, as he said, to the committee on
rumors. We are going to the bottom of
the matter and I have not detected any
disposition on the part of any member of
the committer to be - otherwise than en
tirely fair to both sides."
Jack Ballingrer Denies It.
SPOKANE Wash., Jan. 17-Jack Bal
llnger.rwho, It Is Alleged, was favored by
his second cousin, the secretary of the In
terior, . at the expense of the government,
denied today ever having been given a
cent througlr.igecretary Ballinger or any
ottier person "connected with the govern
ment service except a salary received under
President Roosevelt. Jnok BalUnger is now
at Coeur D'Alene-, Idaho, representing the
Bettlers in the fight over overflowed shore
, . en
lands. - ,
. "It is absolutely false that my cousin or
any one else ever favored me, especially in
the government business," stated Mr. Bal
llr.gtr.'. "I was appointed by President
Roosevelt as special examiner of land
clelms' and contests and was detailed as
private secretary to the secretary of the
Interior at a salary of $2,000 a year.
"The man who previously held the place
died and I was appointed to fill the
vacancy, sq that T took no one's place.
That Is all there Is to the affair."
