Saturday. This Is taken to mean that the

lant lest night whan be started east It
waa upon tha repreaentatlona that were
made by him to Judge Arthur on Satur

waa made extending ths time of payment

"I am certain now that tha last of the
difficulties, or rather causes of delay,
for they were not real difficulties, have
been removed, and that one of tha most
Important things pertaining to tha pros
perity of Counclf Bluffs haa now been
brought about." said Mr. Heaa. "It will
not only release about IJOG.000 of local
capital that haa been tied up, but It
will be the beginning of an Interurban
railway system that means much tor the
town and the western part, of tha state,
helping more than anything alaa to make
this city tha real commercial metropolis
of western Iowa.

"The new company has been capitalised j
for If.ew.Oci) and Its bonds placed
on the London market, quoted at close to !
par."
Mr. Hess expects to return- early In the
week aad the distribution of tha money
Is expected to follow shortly.
The benefit of an Interurban line to
Council Bluffs can ba appreciated by re
calling tbe fact that all of tha east
and west railroads passing through the
county run diagonally across It, making
tne distance or nearly fifty miles to
Walnut, and the other principal towns
are all located on branches. Increasing
the length of the Journey and tha cost
of the trip to Council Bluffs. For ex
ample, tha trip from Oakland to Coun
cil Bluffs could be made by the direct
line followed by the Interurban In about
an. hour and a half while the Journey
by tha railroad requires nearly six hours
with but one train a day. It waa stated
at the court house yesterday that a move
ment baa already been start ad la tha east
end of the county to ask for tba abolish
