STATE OF IOWA, BOARD OF R AILROAD COMMISSIONERS To the Honorable Leslie M. Shaw, Governor of thtJ State of Iowa: In pursuance of the statutes of this state wa herewith submit the following as the twenty-second annual report of the board of rail -road commissoners of the state of Iowa. The work of the commission for this year has been similar in character to that reported for praviou• years. In some departments, however, the work has been considerably increased, due, to some extent, to the change in the grades, more rapid transit, and the con-struction of new lines. PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS TO ROADBED IN IOWA. During the past year the managements ot railway• within this state have become thoroughly aroused respecting the public neces-sity of bettsring the condition of their railways, .and no stronger evidence of the truth and importance of this proposition need be shown than to inspect the trunk lines passing through Iowa. Hun-dreds of thousands of dollars have been expended by the railway managements within this state during the year just closed in improv-ing and bettering the condition of the roadbeds of nearly all of the through lines. The time is not far dis tant when a railway with heavy grades, sharp curves, wooden bridges and Inferior ties, rails and ballast, must either improve and better its condition or go into the hands of a receiver. The traffic of Iowa is large enough and of sufficient value to admit, and in fact require, of the railway managements, without an increase of the rate thereon, a good roadbed, so constructed that one loco-motive engine can, with reasonable safety at a comparatively high rate of speed, haul at least forty cars loaded to the capacity of twenty tons each from the Missouri river to the Mississippi river. A good roadbed reduces the number of accidents both to the prop-4 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE erty of the railway companies and to the public, as well as ensures the safety of the passengers and railway employes. When it is considered that the traffic must be&r not only all the expense of construction and operation, as well as all damage and injury occasioned by accidents, it will be readily conceded that under ordinary conditions money expended to lessen the cost of transport&· tion as well as the risk and hazard of operation, is properly expended, a.nd should be encouraged, if not required, of all railway companies. The topography of this state will in all or nearly all instances admit of the construction of a. roadbed at a reasonable cost, with· out heavy grades or sharp curves. The roadbed, to a. great extent, must finally and ultimately deter-mine and fix the cost of transportation; the better the roadbed the lower the cost of transportation. It will appear from the reports of the ra.ilway companies to this board that this has been a. prosperous year for them, a.nd it will also appear that the railway managements have been liberal in the e~enditure of their earninga, in the substantial and permanent improvement of the railways within the state, as ·well as the con· struction of many miles of new linea therein. And it may be added here that in the construction of the new lines all or nearly a.ll unneces· sary grades and curves have been eliminated therefrom, and that in nearly all of the new construction good railway judgment and manage-ment have been exhibited and exercised. These new lines are being equipped with the moat appr~ved rolling stock, and when in opera· tion will be a great advantage and convenience to the public, and to the traffic of the entire state. From such information as the commissione~s are at present able to obtain there are between 700 and BOO miles of railroad now in process of construction within this state, which will cost, when com· pleted, approximately, '18,000,000. STATISTICAL TABLES. In another part of this report will be fou.d a series of statistical tables, compiled with care and at considerable labor, which, it is believed, cover as completely e.s data furnished by the railway com· panles will permit, the operation of Iowa railways, both e.s respects the entire line and apportionment for Iowa.. These tables include the capital stock, funded and unfunded indebtednesa, the earnings and operating expenses, taxes, employes and salaries, tonnage, road mileage, train mileage, coat of improve-ments, description of equipment, with number of cars supplied with BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. 6 automatic couplers and train br~es. accidents to persons in Iowa., etc., etc. The board experiences considerable difficulty in obtaining reliable information covering the operation of railroads in Iowa as distin· guished from operation of entire lines. The officials of the through or trunk lines declare, for the most part, their inability to divide their statistics upon state lines. This refera more particnlarly to earnings, expenses and tonnage. In supplying the information asked for by the board concerning state earnings, expenses, etc. different bases are used by the different rail· way companies, none of which, of course, can be accurate, and at best can only represent a more or less liberal approximation. Some of the companies apportion Iowa eat'llings and expenses on a revenue train mileage basis. That is, taking the number of miles run by trains earning revenue in Iowa a.s compared with the number of miles run by revenue-earning trains over the entire system, and placing Iowa earnings aud expenses in the same relative proportion to entire system earnings and expenses as Iowa train mileage bears to entire train mileage. This method, perhaps, produces the nearest to what the actual amounts would be, yet it must be conceded that conditions are so entirely different in different localities on the same ystem, that :figures produced by this method cannot be takenln any way e.s actual. For instance, while over one division of a railway it may be comparatively an ee.sy matter :for one engine to haul a train of forty or fifty cars with the usual proportion of loaded and empty cars, on another division twenty cars or even les~ may be the maximum. These conditions obtaining almost universally on the great trunk lines passing through Iowa, it will readily be seen how unreliable such statistics must be. The other method of apportionment most in vogue is she road mileage basis, which, it is thought, in general is much inferior to the one heretofore named. There are some companies which seem to report Iowa statistics arbitrarily, calling them apportionments for Iowa: with no evidence of any particular method having been used to arrlve at the figures furnished. However, considering the difficulty of presenting any accurate method or b~~osis for computing Iowa statistics, and conceding the truth of the statements made by the officials of the trunk lines that it is impossible to accurately divide the earnings and expenses of grea.t railwa.y systems on state lines, the commissioners feel tha.t, in the main, the railway companies have ma.de an honest endeavor to 6 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE supply the board with state statistics o:t reasonable accuracy and completeness.

By permission of the executive council, the statutes of Iowa relating to ra.ilways, with digest of decisions of the supreme court, ba.ve been compiled from the code of 1897; and are printed in con-nection with this report as an appendix. It is believed this will be appreciated by the public interested in railroad operation and problems in Iowa.. NATIONAL ONVENTION OF STATE R AILROAD COMMISSIONERS • . On ~ates August 10 to 14, 1899, this board with its secretary m et wtth hke officers from nearly every state in the union and the Inter-state Commerce Commission, at Denver, Col., it being the eleventh annual convention of railroad commissioners. The papers presented by ~en prominent in state and national affairs dealing with the several phases of the railroad problem, and BOARD OF R AILROAD COMMISSION EHS. 15 the d iscussion by delegates of the ·matters thus presented, are of .incalculable benefit to those who have been entrusted in the several stat es with the duty and responsibility of enforcing laws for the proper control of transportation companies. Commissioner Dawson was made chairman of committee on delays attendan ~ upon enforcing orders of railroad commissioners· Commissioner Palmer was appointed member of the committee o~ uniform classification of freights ; Commissioner Mowry member of committee on classification of construction ex penses ; and Secre-tary Lewis member of committee on railroad statistics. ORGANIZATION OF B OARD. On January4, 1899, Welcome Mowry of Ta.ma county, hav ing been duly elected and qualified, succeeded the Hon. Geo. W. Perkins, of Fremont county, as a member of the board, the term of the lat.ter ha.ving expired. On same day the board organized by electing Edward A .

On the date named in the notice, the board called up the matter, but neither Mr. Porter nor the Jntereat which be represented were present to present their case. The railroad companies were quite fully repreaen1>ed by the officers of their freight department.ll. In view of the absence of Mr. Porter, however, the board pnatponed the hear· ing until Wedneaday, November 30, 1898. The day following the date set for the hearin&' a letter dated September 29th was received from Mr. Porter aa followa: You.r lette-r and t.elegram du1rtar my prucnce at a meettna of the railway oommt. etoDera on tbe .89th. to reference t.o soft ooal rat-e~. recc1Yed. l am verJ aorry tb~&t. cLrcum-at&ncea are aucb that it La 1mpOU1ble for me t.o be ore~ent.

He st.at.ed be d id not believe that. the coa l out put in Iowa b ad mat.erlally deoreaeed for the past. several yeara, but t hat, if t.rue, the ca.uae for the same would be readtly accounted for by the wor k-ing out. of m&ny large mlnee t hroughout t he atate and the abandonment of the same by their operator&. New fields were being opened constantly but the new mines did not seem to be capable of the larlile output. of the abandoned mines of former ye&ra. Be does not belleve t hat. should a.ny decrease in the coal out put be shown It should be accounted for by dlscrimlna.tion against Iowa mines on the pa.rt of the raUroad companies. Iowa mines are tu rnlni down orders tba.t they cannot JUl . He found upon investigat ion that, as compared with the Iowa sched-ule, the ratea in Il llnola are somewhat h!gber , and that no coal , to any coDBidera-ble amount, wu being ahtpped into Iowa, ln territory which r i ihtlully belonged to bta mines. There may be some coal, however, from Illinois , that comes into Iowa. However, considerable Iowa coal goea into Nebraaka. He stated further that be was &atisfted with the freight. rate. a.a they now e:dst in the atate of Iowa, and " "e are aeeklng capit&l to bring our output. up 10 a high tlgure and we believe the conditione are auaplcious to realize this resul t. " E ither Mr. Porter, on his own mo~lon , lotroduced tbe reaolullon, having a vlvld lmagloatlon allhe lime, or he aupposed that the operators in hie own diatrlct aod other d1atrlcte of Iowa would be in full accord with the spirit of the resolution. It may be at the \ime he thought t he assertions i n the resolution were right but 1t seems U be did have the backing, that with the run they have had tbia winter they are aatisfied that the intent. of the resolution te wrong,or lt may be he did not have, but assumed t.o have, the baoklDg ot thOBe operator&. At leaat the ultimate result reaches the aame eDds. He does not have the stat.istlca at hand to aubstantiate hla resolu-tion. U ntll that can be substantiated I do not see very much to contest over in thia resolution. However, I will at.ate tibia: 1 have had ocoaeion to consult with quite a number of operators, here and elsewhere, and they say that my Ideas rep-reaent their feeling& on t.be aubject and that they are wall aatiafted with the oon-dlt\ona as they are at present, and say to me, "If you appear before the commJ..&.. 1ionen and 1ee that our pt'Bience Ia needed there call us up, but unleu we are needed there we will not. go, as U is expenahe, unleaatt ia absolutely neceasary." He further lt.ated be believed that mines should be given the advantage of their altuatlon aa to certain market.& , ae it waa as fair for one locality as for another. Ia. hla lel~lmony before the board, Mr. Byera, among other thlDgs, aid: "We have had no complaint from our agents that they could not diJpoee ot any coal in northweatern Iowa, on account of the inter-stat e rates. Our expe-rie nce has bee n, of course, that to shipping ove r two roada, i t makea it a llttle h1aher than if the mine was located on but one line.

The out put of coal in Iowa hM increased ; t h e output of 1898 has been the la.rgeat of any year of record. The o~tput of ~ny other state or states may not have increased. It is clear that the shipments mto Iowa from Illinois have dimini&hed. "I think the second proposition in the preamble bas b een disproved. If you would apply the rates obtaining in. Illinois and Iowa to the average dist~nce of a shipment of coal, you would find the r a tes in Illinois are higher than m Io';a. The i nterstate rates between fowa and Illinois points are greater to a material degree than the Iowa distance tariff, which applies locally within the state of Iowa. W e have DO complaints that rates in Iowa are excessive. "The railway official is perhaps in closer touch with the people than any other class of men in the state . I am happy to say, and I think the commission will he able to substantiate what I say, that as a general proposition the people of Iowa and the r a ilroads are at peace with each othe r a.nd with this condition between the pro-ducer, the shippers and the carriers, it would be impossible for any serious objec-tion to any rate being in existence without our knowing it, and no case of such discontent could exist without the commission knowing it. In view of no com-plaint and the lower Iowa rates, I think it may be presumed that there is nothing left in this case and it would be in perfect order and quite proper that it be dismissed. "Our company is peculiarly located with reference to the soft coal interests in the state. Practically all of our interest is in Appanoose county. We have done everything to facHltate tbe coal Interest and, therefore, have been brought in close contact and close knowledge of the situation. "I want to say to the comm ission that, as a matter of fact,. for the last four or five years I have given up all effort to supply our larger towns with steam coal, sim ply because there is no alack or steam coal produced on our line. It would be a gross injustice to concede to Appanoose district a mine run rate. It would make a low rate on the highest grade of coal they produce. A low rate was made into Omaha from the Iowa mines simply to enable the Iowa operator to get his product, into an adjoining state in competition wi th Kansas, Missouri and other states. "It may be pointed out that none of the things presumed to be true in the pre-amble to the resolution under consideration are true. The people in whose inter-est th is resolution was ma.de and meeting called have realized there was nothing in it. " Mr. M. C. Markl1am, assistant traffic manager of the Illinois Central Railway company, stated: "As to the Illinois coal that has been coming into Iowa over the Illinois Centt•al, we have a. statement prepared showing the n'umber of cars from September 1, 1895, to August 31, 1896. For that period we put into Iowa 3 189 oars of llllnols coal; for the next year, September I, 1896, to August . 31, 1S97, 2,564 car. ; September 1, 1897, to August 31, 1898, 1,915 cara, a decrease of 40 per cent of what it was two years ago. "WIth reference to the all egation in r egard to the interstate rates being lower than tbe Iowa rates, I have a statement showing what the tariff rates from the L a Salle dls tt-ict, which Is the northern Illinois fi eld into Iowa and what th t·ates would be if computed under the Iowa tariff.

" The rates in Illinois and Iowa for certa.in distances are compared as p 3r Lhe following: "Twenty-five miles, Illinois rate, 60 cents. Iowa rate, lump, 46 cent s . Pea. and slack, 37 cents. "Fifty miles, Illinois rate, 85 cents. Iowa rate, lump, 66 cents. Pea and slack, 52 cents. " One hundred m iles, Illinois rate, $I.-Iowa rate, lump, $1. Pea and slack, 74 cents. "One hundred and fifty miles, Illinois rate, $1.10. Iowa rate, lump, $1.15. Pea and slack, 89 cents." Mr. H . Gower, general freight agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & -Pacific Railway company, said in substance: "I would like to emphasize i n regard to the mine run rates in effect from the Iowa mines to Omaha. We do not prete n.d to say that rate is a proper rate. We have always been opposed to it. The rate was put during the contest when the Iowa mines were competing with the Kansas and other mines. We got down, finally, to the $1,10 rate, but we put i t in simply to enable our mines to compete with mines outside the state. I do not think mine run coal is much used in Iowa. The Centerville people were a t that time accorded the same basis of ratee, but we found that that coal was screened at Omaha. and sold for ·domestic purposes, which made a rank discrimination against the Oskaloosa district."

Notices of hearings were published in the daily press and written , notices sent mine operators and railwa.y companies. At the bearing no one requested a lower coal rate or s1.1ggested any change in the present coal rates in Iowa, Mr. Porter himself seudin.g a letter explanatory or his absence. Under the~ circumstances the commissiouers sought to ascertain the real sit-uation concerning the coal industry in the state of lows, so far as its relation to the transportation ques ~ion ia c ;mcerned, and have set out quite fully abstracts of statements made by intere3ted parties in Iowa, that the public ma.y know upon wha.t statement of facts the board must base its conclusion. The s&atistics furnished by the state mine inspecting department not only dis-prove the statement that, "the coal output of Iowa, during the past several years, ha.s not only not increased, bu.t v,:,ry materially decreased," but, on the contrary, show a material increase in the output of Iowa mines since the year 1895, and a fluctuating condition prior to that time. The testimony offered at the hearing clearly establishes that_ the shipment of Illinois coal into Iowa. is decreasing to a very marked extent year by yea.r; that the rates charged by the railro:~.d companies on coal shipped from points in Illinois to points in Iowa !are higher than the lawa rate would be for the same distance, and that no undue advantage or preference is given to Illinois operators as against Iowa. mines. Inasmuch as all the testimony offered before the board by coal operators and repre3enta.tives o.f the railway companies, as well as other information. w:hi.ch the commissioneril ware able to obtain, seems to prove the inaccuracy of the statements made in the P'reamble to the resolution under which this inv-estigation was had, the board of railroad commissioners oan reach but one conclusion in this matter. We can find no reason, at this time, why the rates on soft coal in Iowa, as heretofore established and promulgated by this board and now in effect, should be disturbed. Des Moines, February 16, 1899.

Within a reasonable time the rallroad company made reply to said oomplaint and deolined to comply with the demands of the petltlon or otherwise chango or modify the running arrangement& then ill foroa respoctlng sald through passenger night trains. It was contended by the rallroad company that the trains aforesaid were faat through trains between Cblcago, wlthln the slate or II II nola, and Sioux City, wlthin the state of Io .. a, aod makiag cloJe running connections with other tbrou~rh trains, and that auoh trains wera tbe only tbrougb passenger trains so operated between tbe points aforesaid by said railroad company not making reg-ular dally at!lpl at the town of Aplington; that It Is now providing reasonable and adequate train oervlce lor th traveling public. including the inhabitants of the town of Aplington; that lt has In operation, exoluslve of the night trains, four p enger tra.lna dally upon Its line of rallway pa1slng through the town of Aplin.rton, makiog regular stopt, and that, ill addition, three freight trains dally upon which ps.a~engers have the right and privilege of belog carried; that the paaeeoger trains were eo operated that reasonable passenger service was extended to the traveling publlo. Tbe board being famillar with the ordina.ry conditions then existing o.t Aplini[ton, the number of lnhabhants aod the general character of buslneas of tbe town and surrounding community, and having knowledge of the number of trains each way in operation rlally upon such line of rallway, submitted in a ~reneral and informal way the opinion of the board with reference to the complaint, and to some extent its views respecting the same, and informing the person who assumes, at least, to represent the town of Aplington, \bat It, in his opinion, it waa desirable, the board would go to Aplington and make an addltionallnvestigr.-tion. The board having received a communication that such hearing was dealrable, Commies loners Palmer and Mowry, together with ~he secretary, upon due notice bein~r given all pa.rtlea, went to Apllneton and held a public hearlog, ntendlnlr to all parties an opportunity to make such atatementa as they or each of them might dulre. At tbls hearing Utile or no new facta were disclosed which were not fully known to the comminlooers. It wa, contended on the p rt of thOIIl present, or at leaat ao!lle of them, that 11 these trains ahould atop a\ Aplington It would ~rive those who might have cccatlon to go to intermediate point& between Ft. Dodge and Waterloo, one additional train each way dally; and that thoee wiehiog to vlslt neighboring towns are required to go by team. It was further claimed that it was an act of dlaori!Dination on the paN of the railway company against the people of Aplington; that thees tralna having for many years made regular dally stope at this station, that the railway nompany 40 TWENTY·SECON D ANN UAL REPORT OF THE bad no right or authority to make the change in quesUon, or in fact any change, whereby these traina obouid not be compelled to make regular daily otope. Another objection made was that the passenger trains operated betwee n Water· too and Ft. Dodge, which had been put upon t his line to beLter accommodate the local pas.scnger tramc, was detrimental to the busi neu in ter eEts ol A plington ; that It gav" an opportunity to purchase merchandise at other point•, and two or more ol the citizens expres ed a desire that such trains should be, lor that reason, withdrawn and abandoned by the railroad company. We find the following to be aubstantlally the undisputed facts : That the town ol Aplington has about 500 inhabitant s; that it bas no railway facilities or ad van· tages except such IU m&y be provided for it by the Illinois Central Railroad com· pany ; that the distance between Parkersburg and Aplington fa about five miles, and tbat Parkersbur~r is nearly east therefrom; that Austlnville fs about live miles west and the town or Ackley about ten miles west, all by rail, and all upon the line of said railway; that a dally pMsenger train passes throu~h Apllngton, Sundays excepted, goi ng west at 11:44 A .M. , an d another going east at 5:02 P.M., these trains being through trains between Sioux City and Chicago and making connections with trains upon its own line of railway, as well as othera, at the last named oitiee; that another dally passenger train is in operation, Bunda) a excepted, between Ft. Dod ge and Waterloo, which bas been In operaUon aince the night tratns In question have not made Aplington station a r egular stopping poin t, pas-sing through Aplington going east at 9:53A. M., and going west at 6:47P.M.; that during tbe daytime there are one or more freight traina, having the right to carry paesengers, pa slog daily £aob way. We find that the trains in question, that is, the dally midnight trains, do not atop 1 t Aplington , except upon signal, and then only for passengers and baggage destined east of Waterloo or west or Ft. Dodge, except i11 caee of aickness or other emergency; that the distance between Ft Dodge and Waterloo is aboutlOO miles; that the trains aforesaid pan through Aplington as follows: The east-bound train at 1:02 A . M:. and the west-bound train at 12 :33 midnight; that these train a are operated principally lor the accommodation and convenience or the pueenger trai'll.c between the state of Iowa. and other states, and that the hustnesa carried on and conducted thereon and thereby is largely Interstate; that these trains are composed or sleeping cars, passenger coaches and mall and expreas care, and that In the operation of said train a between the city or Chicago, within the state of Illinois, and Sioux Oity, withi.n the state or Iowa, no change is made in aald trains or the coaches or cars thereof, except change of en;rlnea; that tbrou::h mall and express is carried and transported by said trains between this and other statea; that the actual running time of said train•, stop3 excluded, is subetantially flfty-li ve miles per hour; that between Sioux City acd 011buque the trains in queatlon do not stop at towns or stations of the size or population of Aplington, or of len population, unleu at railroad croeslnga, under any different oondltlons than at Aplington; that the people of Aplingwn are given by the rail-road company the aame advantages and eojoy the same privil.,ges and benefits of towna of a aimllar sfze that are extended to other communitiea within this etate alo11g the llnea of this company, ao far u paesenger aervlce may be Involved. While It ia not conceded by the complainant, we lind that the passenger buai· ness at tbla station has subetantially increased since the operation of the tratns between Waterloo and Ft. Dodge. The foregolnif are the material and pertinent facta, 88 we deem them, neceJ· . .. ry to a fair underatandtng or the matter in controversy. BOARD OF R AILROAD COM~IISSIONERS. We regard the question involved in this case of great public import.a.nce, and we regret that the representatl\"e or the people or Aplington, apparently, at least, does not seem to comprehend the far-reaching influence or be&ring which this controveroy may have upon the transportation question lu th is state. We may juo\ly infer from hio &ttilude and dEclarations that l:>ut one interest, and only one, should be considered , and that the interests ol the public should be Ignored: that through flloSt trains should not be encouraged , or even permitted, if, for any cause , any number or people should be discommoded or discomfited thereby, regardless of the great number tha t may, through necessity or otherwise, require and atand in need of rapid and aale transit. The railways ol to·day o.re expected, ~d in fact obould be required, to furnish reasonable rapid transit to and from the great oommeroial centers. A railway compaDy which does not provide , within a rea!onable time and under ordtnary conditions, suitablt', proper and safe equip-ment and roadbed lor the purpose or accommodating the through public travel greatly Impairs the wealth and prosperity or the country through which such line may be located, and auch community, in the opinion or this board , would have j ust cauoe for requiring proper through se rvice. The people olong the line of the Illinois entral are entitled to a through and reasonably rapld passenger service. It ls the duty or the common carrier to give reasonable accommodation and pa enger eervioe to both claesea or its patrons, the local as weLl aa the through passenger. It b conceded In this controverey, and If not HIs true. that this rallroad com• pany baa in operation upon tbla I toe six passenger trains every twenty· four boura, Sunday excepted In some of them, four of which stop at all stations, carry local 88 well aa through passengers, and only one train eaob way provides more espe· clally for the care, comfort and convenience or the through passenger. This train between Sioux Oity and Chicago runa at the average speed of about tilly· live miles per hour, not stopptng at stations of the population of Aplington or less, unless for through pauengera whoee desttnation la east or Waterloo or west of Ft. Dodge. Is this service reasonable? If Eo, then the board cannot tnterfere with the management or the operation of tbla train In this regard. The publlc holds the railway companies reeponaible, and requires of them a high degree of care in protecting the pauenger from danger or Injury. We cannot say, II we had the authority so to do, that tbla traln should be operated at any higher rate of speed, or that It would be reasonable to do anything that would prevent through paasengere from arriving at Chicago later' than 10:10 A. M. or Sioux Oity later th.&n 7 A . 111. These are matters that we ought not to Interfere with unless (or very ezcellent reaaona, and It bu been questioned whether we have any jurledlc-ilon over a train of thls character where other and rello80nable aervice 1a given the public, which will be relerred to later' In this deolalon. In referring to the running time of thls train, we are of the opinion that, unless a roadbed and equipment are in proper and excellent condition, due regard for the safety of the traveling public would not be aubaerved In requiring a too high rate or apeed. In pusing upon tbla question, we are to consider the effect of maktng an order in tbie cali requiring these faat tralno to stop at tbla station, and what effect it would have upon p&Siengers and public carried upon the through traln.l upon tbls line. If ail towns or the size of Apli.ngton may have the right to compel through tralno to atop thereat upon this line, it would aoon destroy all rapid tl'BIIIit with to thllo et.&te upon thla line, and i1 thia rule ia applied to thle railway, 11 would be 42 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE our duty to apply U to all raHways in the state wheneve r an application was made to dolO where the conditions were similar. In fac t , an attempt was made in this case to induce other towns of the size of Apll n~~:ton to join in this oontroversy and require these trains to atop at such points. The question of Interfering with interstate commerce and traffic is clearly within this ca•e, but as It bas not been presented or a rgued by either party we deem It advisable not to consider or decide It upon that ground. When a railway company carryine- traffic , whether freight or passengers, between two or more states, upon interstate trains, and reasonable service by the raHway company is provided for the •tate and local traffic, there may be a serious question whether the state authorities, either through the courts or commiBBion-ere, have the right to retard or in any other way unreasonably interfere with such trains. We are not unmlndlul of the right of the s tate to exercise its police regulations with reference to the manner of the operation of such interstate trains or In any other reasonable way, but from a carelul reading of the case of the Illinois Central Railway company v. the State ol Illinois, reported In vol. 163, page 142, ol the U. S. R eports, and the cases the rein cited, as well as ot hers, It would seem that the court Is not disposed to permit unreasonable Interference with the operation of trains carrying inte rstate business, and that it w!ll proteot such traffic whethe r carried by lr e!gb t or passenge r trains, from any undue or un reasonable regula tions. We have reached the conclusion In this case that we ought not to make any order therein; that the railroad company in oper ating six paeseng"r trains through the town of Aplington, dally, Sunday excepted , lour ol which carry both through and local passengers, and two of which carry through passeogera to all points where such trains stop east of Waterloo and west of Ft. Dodge, ls extend-ing to the people r easonable eervlce, and considering the servi ce upon the freight trains eaoh way the railway compan y is not discriminating against the town of Apllngton or that locality. To make the order contended lor by the person who claims to represent the people of Aplington, in this case, would In time require these interstate trains carrying throu~rh passengers, as well as mall and express, to atop at about all the towns be tween Sioux City and Dubuque, within the s tate. It would thereby practically destroy all through connections with other trains and would Impede and Interfere with all passengers who might be obliged to travel u pon these trains upon this line of railway. The actual running time upon this line of railway, considering the condition of the roadbed and track, ought not to be Increased, a t least sufficiently to make up for all local delays and stops which would be occasioned thereby, If we should make the order asked for. Each case must necessarily be g overned and controlled largely by the condi· tiona existing and al'feoting the Immediate locality and the demands of the public. There might be conditions the.t would require a different ruling, but In this case the trains carrying through and loJal passengers, and which make regular stops at Aplington, pan at such hours in the de.ytime as would seem to give reason-able aoeommodatlon to the publlc, and at a seasonable time. It Ia the unanimous decls!on ol the board that it ought not to interfere w!ih the aervioe upon thla line of railroad at this time, and that to do s would do a great injustice to the traveling public generally, and would be establishing a precedent that might in time, If carried into effect, work a great hardship and ~rreat Inconvenience to those requiring reasonably rapid transit upon this line of railway, ae well as upon all othera throughout the atate.

T his complaint was taken up wi th W. H . Truesdale , genera l manager o r t h e resp ondent company. T he railroad company, in response, replied t h at the crossing was about as good as i t could be made for graded crossi ngs, and sa id fur t her that t hey had at one t ime offered to build an overhead crossing if t h ey, the t ownship, would grade the south app roach to t he bridge, and on September 29th, Mr. A . E . K incaid wrote the board as follows: . "GENTLEMEN-Replying to your favor, of the abJve date, in r eference to the complaint laid with you as to the Chicago, Rock Is land & Pac ific Railwa y com-pany lowering t he grade at O ' Neil c rossing. We have bad a reasonable and fair crossing a t the point st ated. A year .ago the railroad company lowered their tracks at this point so as to make the crossing" very dange rous , which was done without our consent. " Now the y claim in their letter t o you that they are willing to put ln an over-head crossing providing the township puts in the south approach. "The township cannot agree to that proposition, as it would cost us from $700 to $1,000 to put in the south approach on account of the low ground on the south side of the trac~r, and it would be necessary to make a very heavy fill in order to meet the grade of the overhead bridge. " The railroad company are generous in their proposi tion to go east a few rods from the original line, s imply on account of the natural bank elevation at that point, which would make it lese expensive for the railroad company to put i n their bridge, but still would not lessen the ex.pense of the south grade. It would also necessitate the township to buy a piece of land for that purpose. "We would like H some of' you gentlemen would come out and look at this matter, ~ you could. then judge best of the justness of our claim. ' ' We think the railroad company should put in the overhead crossing a.ndl make all of the grade on bot.h sides of the track, so as to leave a safe and conven-ient crossing for the use of the trav·eUng public. "By order of the trustees of Layton township." A fter some ·further correspondence, i t was decided to let the matter rest until spri ng, and the board fixed March 22, 1899, for an examination of the crossing and hear ing of the case at Walnut, Iowa. On date named the board viewed the loca-tion of this crossing., after'l9a.rd gGlng to Walnut for suoh hearing a.e might be neceesary. It was apparent to the board that the location of this crossing was at a poi nt more or less dangerous to the public, but, unless the .highway could be removed,, it would not be feasible for a.n overhead crossing .

Complaint tiled July 6, 1898. Tbls complaint stated in. substance that the citizens of Orillia and vicinity paid several hundred dollars for which the Chicago Great Western Railway com-pany agreed to ''establish and maintain a depot and station;" that the railway company had an agent there ni~rhts only and the depot. was olosed in the day· time; that while there was nothing in the contract indicating whether the station should be a day station or a night station, yet it would seem that a depot. opened only at night. could hardly be construed as furnishing adequate faclU-t.iee, etc. '.l'he case was brought to the attention of Mr. S. C. Stickney, general manager Chicago Great Western Railway company, who was asked to advise the board of the results of his investigations. O.n August 22, 1898, Mr. ~tickney said: "The business transacted at this station during the past year has amounted to little or nothing. By substituting a night operator for the agt:~nt, we are able to dispense with the night operator at an adjacent station. Considering the very small earnings derived from Orillia, we feel justified in having made the change. I have been un.able to find any ag.reement with the citizens of Or11lia, by which the company Is ' bound to establish and maintain a depot.' If there is such an agreement, I would be glad to have Mr. Garrett send it to me." l'he complainant was not satisfied with Mr. Stickney's explanation of the matter, insisting that as the citizens had given $500 for the depot, and had a con· tract which was kept at the depot, in the hands of their agent, that station should be maintained, the company should in good faith provide suitable facilities. Tb ey also said the contract could not be found after the money was paid, but tha' by consulting the records In the county recorder's office, several of the receipts could be found which showed that the company is bound " to establish and main-tain a depot." That a copy of the receipt could also be found on pages 238 and 239 of report of railroad commissioners for 1896; case No. 5-1894; Mr. Stiokney was informed of the contention of the petitioners, and the board waalater &d. vised that an effort would be made to adjust the matter. Mr. Garrett wrote the board on February 11, 1899, that no change had been made in the operation of that station. Mr. J. Berllngett, division supedntend-en~, called. at the commissioners' office and stated tha.t the case would soon be MJUBted. On June 29, 1899, Mr. G~rratt withdrew his complaint, saying that satisfactor~ agrDeement had been rea.ched between the ra.llway company and the citizens. ea Moines, Iowa, November 9, 1899.

CHICAGO & NORTH-WESTERN RAILW.\.Y COMPAN Y. ) Complaint filed July 17, 1898. 61 · On July 17, 1898, Mr. F. F. Faville, county attorney of Buena Vista county, filed with the board a statement of the case, which i~ printed in full: "ln. behalf of the board of supervisor3 or Buena Vista county, I desire to call the attention of the board of railroad commissioners to the following complaint: ''On the 6th day of September, 1897, the board of supervisors of Buena Vi.sta county duly established a road cro3s1ng the track of the Chicago & North· West-ern railway about eighty rods north of the s ~mtheast corner of section 14, town· ship 93, north range 36, in Lee township, Buena Vista county, Iowa. Due and legal notice of the establishment of said road was served on the Chicago & North-Western _railroad by service on its agent at Marathon, Iowa, on the 20th of May, 1897. No claim for damages was tiled by said rai~road, and no appeal has, of course, been taken from the establishment of th.e sam9. Notice has been served on the railroad company, by the road supervisor of the district in which the high-way is ~ocated, to remove the obstruction of the fences and open the road, and he had also written the superintendent, W. D. Hodge, of Eagle Grove, Iowa, object-ing to the replacing of the wira fences at the polnt where the highway crossed the road. Under date of July 11th, Mr. Hodge replies: 'I ha.ve two or three times detined this company's position in relation to the highway. This company does not object to the opening of the highway, provide·d the public authoritie1 will assume the expense. The roadma~ter replaced the wires in accordance with my instructions, and we shall undertake to maintain them there so long as the authorities do not undertake to assume the expense of opening the highway.' "Mr. Hodge has also written me substantially to the same effect. The high· way crosses the railroad at a point where the ra.llroa.d company have constructed ditches on either slde of the track, so that it will require some grading and prob-ably the construction of two small bridges or culverts to make tbe proper cross-ing. As I understand it, the contention of the company is that the county must bear the expense of putting in a crossing, including the embankment and cul-verts on the right of way, if they are needed, while it is my contention that the railroad should bear it. This road as established is some four miles in length, and is open all of the distance except just this point where it crosses the railroad, and great inconvenience and hardship are occasioned the public by reason of the obstru:::tion of the fences and lack of a oroesing. I believe that your board baa the jurisdiction, atld I am confident wUl be willing to give this matter their immediate attention and grant the relief demanded, as the matter at present is very urgent." The complaint was tra-qsmitted to the railway company and date., Augu~t 18, 1898, was set for inspection of the premises and hearing of parties. Owing to other business intervening, however, the date for hearing and inspection was canceled. :; : .

M. Foster, on November 12th, sent a.n expense bill to the board show· ing chargee on one box of drugs from Cedar Rapids to North English, 30 pounds weight, of 1!1.50-25 cents being the charge ma.de by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R&Uwa.y company, and 11.25 being the back charges made by the Bur· lington, Cedar Ra.plds & Northern Railway company. The complainant claimed the ba.ck charges to be excessive as the distance over the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern l8 les3 than the distance over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. The matter was brought to the attention of Mr. W. P. Br&dy, general agent or the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway com· pany, who explained the charges made in the following letter dated December 2llt: "The followin~r are the Items of the back charges on this shipment: Freight charges, North English to Cedar Rapids ..••••••.•.•.•..••••.••••. 8 .25 Freight charges Cedar R&plds to Iowa CitY---··-----·-------············-- .25 Freight chargee Iowa City to Cedar Rapids .•••••.••.•••••••••••••••••••••.•. 25 Freight chareee Cedar Rapids to North English ••••••••••.••••• ---·-------- .25 Boxing and packing at Iowa City •••••• ·----·····--······--··--···---------- .50 TotaL ______ ---------- ___ ----------·-· •••••• __ ------ .....••.• ___ ·----. 11.50 "It would seem from the Itemized statement above, that this box of drugs made a trip from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City and back, and while at the latter place there accrued a boxing and packing che.rge of 50 cents.

Respectfully. Ww. A. NaonoLS, Att.onu:utor Gro-111. The board &dvised Mr. Nichols that if the crossing r e ferred to was public In ita n&ture, the commissioners could not take action until the street had not only been duly est&blished by the town or Albia, but the la.nd or property over which the aame may have been established iB condemned, aa required by law. If hi8 letter referred to a priv&te crossing, then, the commissioners s&ld, it would seem to be the duty ot the r&ilw&y company, where the land owner own1 land on both sides of the ra.ilwe.y track, to provide a suitable private croeeing. The case was t&ken up with the Iowa Central Railway comp&oy, and on December 19, 1898, Mr. L. M. Martin, gener&l m~nager, &nswered aa followa: "Upon investigating this matter I lind that Mr. Gray bas now peodin~t io the Monroe county district court, a suit to compel the Albia & Centerville rallway to maintain an open prlve.te crossing between his ple.ce and the property on the eaet side of the track, belonging to some other member of the Gray fe.mUy, cl&lming that when be gave the rlgh tor way to the Albia & Centerville railway tb&t a contract waa made provic1ing that he ehould have an open printo cr011lng at the point designated, protected by wing lencee and cattle eue.rda. Gray further statea that the contract Ia a part of and appear& in the right of way for the &bove mentioned land. "We have been unable to find any record, either In the ruee of the railway com-pany or the office of the recorder or Monroe county, to eubatantiate Mr. Gray 'a cle.lm, and to the best or my knowledge there baa neve r been ao open croeaine me.intalned at that point. "Parallel with the right of we.y of the Albia & Centerville railway, e.nd imme-diately &djoinlng the same, Is the right of way formerly owned by the Iowa Central Re.llroad compe.ny, e.!terwards acquired by the Albie. & Moravia R&ll· way company (Chice.go, Burlington & Quincy) by condemn&tlon, upon which rleht of way they constructed their line toward Moulton, Iowa, paylne W. A. Gray 1300 tor said right of way. 70 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE "The IowaCentrrJ Railway company h&a recently acquired this !&at mentioned right of way by the purchase of a q11it claim from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; also by condemnation of sheriff's jury. "There never was any contract between W. A . Gray and the Chicago, Burling-ton & Quincy railroad or the Albia & Moravia Railway company, and whe" we acquired this right of way the title in the two separate tracts of land did not lie in the name of W. A. Gray, and If he owns tbe land upon the east side of the railway tracks and the rights of way, he has acquired same since the Iowa Cen-tral Railway company h&a constructed ita line to Hickory Coal mine, and said land is in no manner a part or parcel of the homestead of W . A. Gray. "Further, Mr. Gray can reach the public highway at a shorter distance, from another point on his land, without crossing the railway tracks, than by the route he DO'f designates and desires to be maintained in his behalf. The Iowa Central Railway company, operating and in a way protecting against the suit of Mr. Gray v. the Albia & Centerville Railway company, could not consistently give Mr. Gray a crossing over its own track and right of way, having denied his right to one over the Albia & Centerville Railway, Immediately adjoining." Copy of the answer of the railway company was sent Mr. Nichols, who on February 25, 1899, wrote tbe board atatlog that Mr. Martin was in error as to the real fe.ots In the case, but that there was a suit pending to compel an open croas-lnll' over the Albia & Centerville track, which lies south and adjacent to that of the Iowa Central, the Albia & Centerville ra.ilway being now operated by the Iowa Central. Mr. Nichols stated further that the land on both aides of these tracks belongs to the same person, constituting the Gray homestead; that he did not think there was any other reasonable way of reaching the land on the south aide of the track except at the crossing which the Iowa Central was attempting to close; that the case preeented the right of a land owner having land on both aidea of a railroad to have a crosaing from one tract to the other; that the right waa statutory; that the case to determine the right of crossing over the track of the Albia & Centerville Railway company would likely be determined in the district court during term beginning March 13th. Upon receipt of Mr. Nichola' letter, the commissioners wrote him that inas-much as there was a suit pending in the district court to determine the right of Mr. Gray to a crossing over the track of the Albia & Centerville, which ran parallel to thAt of the Iowa Central, and the elfeotlveness of any action taken by the board l.n the premlsea must be largely controlled by the decision of the court In said case, the complaint filed wltb the commlaslon against the Iowa Central would be held, awaiting the decision of the court in the case against the Albia & Centerville, of which Mr. Nichols was asked to advise the board as aoon as possible. Not bearing from Mr. Nichols, the commlseloners asked again, on September 12th, that be advise them of the result of the suit in the district court. No answer has been received, and the case will be considered closed unless the parties thereto request the reopening of the same. Des Moinea, Iowa, November 7, 1899.

Mr. Edmonds wrote the board stating that he wanted a location for elevator site at Aahton; that the company refused to grant him the same; that In 18112 he had the same matter up with the board of railroad commissioners and finally aecured site, but that at that time he had purchased other hou•es and did not accept the site; he now wlshe• the site; that the conditions are the same at Ash-ton as they were In 1892. The matter was brought to the attention of the railway company, and on Jan· uary 24th Mr. W. A. Scott, general manager, advised the board that all a.vallable property for elevator sites at Ashton had · been under lease for some time and most of It occupied; that Mr. P. H. Peavey made application lor site before Mr. Edmonds flied the applloatlon he referred to, and Is to construct an elevator there of 40,000 bushels capacity, and as all other ground Is occupied by coal sheds and other buildings whloh are in use, he could see no reasonable grounds lor cancelling leases held In good faith by other parties, to locate another elevator which would not be at all needed after Mr. Peavey's is constructed; that if Mr. Edmonds had taken the location they granted him, all would have been satisfactory, but he concluded not to accept It after they made the tender, and as Mr. Peavey then made his applicaUon and Is acting upon it in good faith the company could not diacover what cause Mr. Edmonds had for complaint, for surely It would not be to his Interest any more than the company's to have any more elevators there than there would be when Mr. Peavey's was finished. Mr. Edmonds, In a later letter, Insisted that he wanted the site whether Mr. Peavy went in there or not. The commissioners visited Ashton on February 28th, heard statements of parUes for both the railway company and Mr. Edmonda, Inspected the premises and noted the elevators already constructed. On March 27, 1899, the board wrote Mr. Edmonds that the question of elevator sites had been before the board on ma.ny different occasions, and tha.t the a.uthorlty of the board with reference thereto was to some extent In doubt. The board further said: "A declalon rendered by the aupreme court of the United States, ln what Ia known as the Nebraska case, seems to hold that the authority of the sta.te board of ra.llroad commissioners upon questions of thla kind Is limited, and In that oaee they held tha.t the boa.rd or rallroad commissioners or Nebraska could not make a va.lld order appropria.tlng the property of a. railway compa.ny lor usee of thla kind. However, this boa.rd ha.s been inclined to hold that it is the duty of a raU-wa.y company to gra.nt the right lor elevator and warehouse purposes upon ite right of way autllolent and adequate to tra.nsa.ct, In the ordinary way, gra.ln and BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSION~RS. 75 other business at the different stations along its line In this state. This Is about as far as the board has believed it bad the a.uthority to go. "The queotion to whom this right or privile~e shall be granted iB lodged with the ra.llway company. Of course such company must exercise this right, as well a.s a.ll others, In a. reasonable and proper manner, but it is the opinion of the boa.rd that It has no more authority to designate the person to whom this prlv· ilege shall be granted than H would have to designate the person who should be employed by the ra.llwa.y company. "II, In your judgment a.nd opinion, there Is not sufficient ground granted or extended to eleva.tor or warehouse owners or operators at this point to properly handle a.nd ship the gra.in received there, the board will be glad to render you a.ny assistance In procuring such additional grounds as may be neoe sary to that end, but it would not be inclined to interfere with the railway company with reference to whom such additional grounds or privilege obould be extended. "The board would be pleased to render you any a.id or aBBiota.nce th•t It might be a.ble to In the premises." On September 20th Mr. Edmunds wrote the board again stating that no eleva-tor ha.d been erected at Ashton since the . ••.•. and he thought be should be allowed to build an elevator there. In a.nswerlng Mr. Edmunds, his •ttentlon was ca.lled to the hoard's letter heretofore, a.nd he was advised that a petition signed by the fa.rmers bringing produce to Ashton for m&rketing, or would do eo if he was granted a site for eleva. tor at tha.t pla.ce, ought to have considera-ble ln6uence with the railroad company and that If It could be signed by the business men or Ashton 1t would a.dd to Its ln6uence. Be was further advisecl that from the commissioners' examination of the premises and the statements made at the hea.rlog, there seemed to be ha.rd ly enough shipments oftered at tha.t place to keep the eleva.tors running that were already there, but li 1t could be shown to the ra.ilroad company tba.t It would prove profitable to build the elevator the site would quite likely be granted.

The matter was laid before Mr. B. S. Josselyn, general superintendent, who made reply on March 9, l!l99, as follows : "I have yours o! the 6th Instant, conveying to me the complaint of the Hon. A. J. Chantry, of Malvern, Iowa, inclosing petition of citizens of Strahan and vlcln!ty, concerning the stopping ol train No. 14 at that st~tion. I appreciate, to some extent, the disadvantage these people labor under by reason of train No. 14 not stopping at that station, but you wlll admit that there are always two sides to every question. This train carries the fast mall, Omaha to St. Louis, in com-petition with the • Burlington,' and we are forced to cut every stop possible in order to make the time required, so that we can hold this last mall to our Line. II it were not for the revenue we derl ve from this last mall, we could not alford to run the train, or if that train were run, the other would be required to come off. "I will be very glad, therefore, it you wlllsay to Mr. Chantry that the failure to atop this train at Strahan, and several other points on the Omaha & St. Louis, ia not due to any feeling of lndilference to our patrons, but is necessary in order that we may give the United States government the service they require. "At any time this condition changes so that we may have more time to give this train, or that our physical condition is in such shape that we can make fast time and also make stops, we shali be very glad to do so." Copy o! the foregoing was furnished Mr. Chantry, on March 13th, for blsinlorma-tlon and any further statements be might desire to file before the case was cloeed. No word bas been received from the complainants, however, and it being the policy of the board not to interfere with the running of through fast trains, unless a much stronger showing is made than was made in this complaint, the ca.s Is closed.

The complaint was duly forwr.rded to the railway company, and, on March 29, 1899, Mr. Boward Elliott, genera.! manager, wrote the board a.s follows: "Your letter of March 8th, transmllting copy of a communication from Mr. W.

We also regret that the same instructions that were given to the conductor did not reach the agent at Montrose, so that the latter could have advised Mr. Beck of the situa-tion. If you will examine the otl'loial time card referred to by Mr. Beck, you wlll see in heavy t.ype, on page 24, the following chuse: 'The tables herein show the time trains should arrive and depart from the several stations and connect with other trains, but their arrival, departure or connection at time stated is not guar-anteed. The time of trains is mbject to change without notice. • "Freight trains are run, of course, primarily, to take care of the commerce of the country, and that commerce cannot be carried on if the freight trains are to be subject to passenger requirements, and iJ those requirements are to be the governing conditions in handllng freight.

Under grade farm crossing for cattle. vv. c.GEORGE,COLL~s, } CBIOAGO, MILWAUKEE& ST. PAUL RAIL-WAY COMPANY. Complaint filed May 18, 1899. Thla complaint was made to the board in person by Mr. George on May 18th. After taking Mr. George's etatement, the following letter was sent Mr. W. G. Collin•, general manarer or the Chioago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway com· pany: BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIO ERS . 9 "In section 14, township 2 (Collins), Story county, In th is sla te. th e line ol the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. P&ul Railway com pany crosses the !arm or Mr. W. C. George, &nd it is cl&imed by Mr. George that, under an arrangement between himself and your company, it was agreed that be should have such conveniences .as he might require, so f&r as passing over or under your line or railway in order to reach hie land, which might be situated upon either side or the track . He informs us that the company Ia about to construct a waterway or culvert ol about three feet diameter. Thia would not permit stock to pass under your track. H would seem from his s tatement of the agreement ana t he consideration therefor that there might be a gooa de&l of merit and justice In his claim, and that the company might be required to give him a better and more suitable place lor the use of live stook pa•slng under your tl-ack. We take it be would be satisfied If you would construct a cattle pass or way un der your track o! the dimensions of five feet by six feet. VVe trust that you will do nothing In tb ls matter until you have fully and fairly lnvestlg&ted the same, and the board would be pleased to have you submit the result of your investigations to it, when the matter will receive further consideration." Mr. Collins wrote the board on May 31st, saying: "Upon examination, I lind that there Is no condition In the deed lor right of way through Mr. George's property requiring the company to maintain a cattle pass, and that Mr. George Is unable to produce any contract or agreement grant.-lng him an under crossing. He has been permitted to use a bridge which now requires renewing, and which Is not necessary for a waterway. It has, therefore, been decided to use a thirty-Inch pipe and fill the bridge. He has a grade cross-ing at a point about 200 teet east or this bridge, wblcb Is a good, safe crossing, the view being clear ln each direction. It, therefore, seems to us unnecessary to provide him with an additional under crossing." Later, on June 17th, Mr. Collins sahl that, upon further inve•tlgatlon o! the matter, he found th,.t Mr. George was able to produce proof that h e bad been verbally promised &n under crossing by the company's r ight or way agent, .and that in accordance he had directed that the present structure be renewed with a five feet by six feet cattle pass, which Mr. George had sa.ld wa.s satisfactory to hlm. Mr. George was advised of this letter of Mr. Collins, and on June 2olth he replled that the cattle p&ss was quite satisfactory, and, thaoking the hoard for thelr attention, closed \he case.

Lynch, of New Hampton, wrote the board as follows: •• Permit me to call your attention to a decilion given by your board, which appears in 1 9 repor~, page 978, in regard to an undertrack crossing. The cross-ing, according to the report, waa constructed (except the approach on nortbeaat II 90 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE eide) and accept.ed by the undel'8igned. Late las~ fall ~be railway company changed ita loca tion and Its dimen.sions without my consent, paved the crossing with large etones crosswise which Ia only eight feet wide and is on a level with the ground on either side, an d deprives me or any means of drainae:e. In frosty weather the cattle cannot crOBB, e.s It Ia covered with Ice." In closing, Mr. Lynch asked the board to go to hh place and see the condition his crossing le ln. Tho case wae tt.ken up with General Manager Samuel C. Stickney. Mr. Stickney wrote the board on J une 28th, eaylng among other thi ngs that "An Investigation ahowo that the undercrosslng Is a atone culvert with iron deck. The opening Is eight feet wide and seven feet high , with a well paved floor extended out to the right of way line on each side. F rom our point of view the ca~tle pau Is in excellent condition; It Is perfectly dry and gives the beot POBSible drainage for all ou rface water. It Is impossible for the rallway company, inside the right of way lines, to Improve the condit ions at this point, &s t hey are already of the best." There seemed to be a misunderstanding be~ween the parties. A member of the board viewed the premises in question and wrote Mr. S. 0. Stl.ekney, stating that be found the under crossing In good condition, but that on the northwest. side of the track, outside the right of way, Is a bole that during rains is a very b&d place for stock to pass, a nd that if the railway company would move the fence connecting the opening under the track with Mr. Lynch 's land about six roda nort h of present location of fence, stock would then be enabled to have better ingress and egreu to the under crossing; that the commission did not think that any paving would be necessary. Concerning the matter of drain tiles, the commission suggested thai the engineer of the company and Mr. Lynch ought to come to some understanding. Some further correspondence was b&d in the matter, and on Sept.ember 23d Mr. Stickney wrote the board stating that delay in answering the board's Jetter bad been caused by the same getting lost, but that the ro&dmaster had been instructed to change the fence at the ~attle pass ao that stock can croBB on good ground, which, be says, "I preaume was what your letter ordered done. It !a our aim to satisfy every complaint, and I assure you the delay has only been due t.o tbe large amount of work we have under way.

Tbe ground over which Mr. Leverton Instated upon driving Ia not. a thoroughfare, nor can It be made one with nfety.

The board suggested at that time that the track current of the bell should be extended 1,000 feet further, making the circuit 2,500 feet distant from the crouing bell east, but that 1,500 teet west would probably be ample. On December :11•1 Mr. J . F. Gibson, superintendent, who represented the railway company at the Inspection December 15th, wrote the board stating that he had made arr&ngemoots to take action according to the auggeniono made. In communications to the board during the early part of the year 1899, Mr. Graves , township clerk, reported that the bell was not working satisfactorily; In each case the attention o f Mr. Gibson was called to it, &nd on May 26th he writes the board as follows : "I find by Investigation that Ibis bell Ia working splendidly . h failed about one month ago lor some reason, but I lm mediately bad It repaired, and my sec-tion foreman informs me that it never baa failed si nce to bla knowledge; he also says that be has talked with Mr. Bleedner, one of the trustees, who says that the bell Ia working perfectly.

On date of June 12, 1898, Mr. Douglas wrote the board that he had been noti-.6.ed by the station agent that the railway company were going to remove hi& coal bouse from the right of way; that be bad leased the bouse, and he could not afl'ord to have It moved to a new location, and would quil the coal business U it came to that. He protests thM he should not be compelled to suffer this loss. The matter was taken up with the railway company, and Mr. W. P. Brady, reneral agent, wrote the board on June 18, 1898, concerning the case substan-tially as follows: That the coal bouse was so located as to be dangerous to parties approaching-railway track on the principal street of West Branch, as It entirely obstructed the view of trains coming from the south; that lt was also in the way of trainmen In switching; that it caused the aocumulatlo11 of snow in win~er; that it was and had been a nuisance for some tlme; that J. B. Dou~rlas held a lease for the ground on which the building was located which expired December 31, 18Q9, that in pur-suance of the oonditio.ns of said lease the railway company bad, on April 13, 1898, notified the complainant that it was necessary to remove the building from Its present site, and oJ!ered to send one of Its trainmaster& to select a new location for it; that no attention was paid to tbla notice; that on June 7th the railway company advised Mr. J. M. Lindsley, the agent at West Branch, to notify Mr. Douglas that the building would have to be removed to another location that would be furnished for it if desired; that Mr. Douglas replied there was no other available place for the building, and If it was to be removed he would go out of the coal buslneu and did not care for a new sUe; that thereupon the building was torn down and the material piled on the property of its owner, a Mr. Wm. Steer, a former r011ldent of Weat Branch; that the action of the company was entirely within the bound• of reason and common sense, and that if Mr. Douglas had BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. 97 co-operated with the company, no doubt a proper site could ba'<'e been selected for a new location. At a later time, Mr. William Steer called at the ofllce of the board and filed a le\ter written by Mr. Brady t.0 Mr. Douglas on April 13, 189 , which corrob-orated Mr. Brady's statement to the board with reference to notice to Mr. Doug-las and offer to grant a new location for coal house at a more practical part of the depot grounds. Nothing further was heard of the matter unUI Mr. Steer again called on the board, et.a\.iag tbat. t.h~re was some quest.loa &8 to the owaersbip ot tbo laod on which the ooal bouse bad been located. Both Jllr. Brady and Mr. Steer were asked t.0 star.e the facts In the case. l\lr. Brady said in substance that the com-pany bad nothing to say until Mr. Steer bad substantiated his claim as to owner-ehlp, and Mr. Steer having declined to present any further evidence to the board, the case is closed ... tthout prejudice.

Mr. Conroy ln this ca9e flied with the b()ard an expsn9e bill showing shipment of stock cattle from Dexter to Walnut on which there was a charge made of 818.68, but which amounts, according to weight of shipment (25,600 lbs.), rate 9.21 cents, to 117.68. The matter was immediately taken up with Mr. C. J. PhUlips, division freight agent of the company, who stated that the matter would re.,elve his prompt attention; that the charge was simply an error in com· putatlon, and that the 81 overcharge would be promptly refunded; and said, fur-ther, that U Mr. Conroy had called on the agent the matter would have received prompt attention. Mr. Conroy was advised of this disposition of his claim, and again wrote the board, on July 11th, as fttllows: "Your letter of the 5th lust. at hand, and will say that the legal rate from Dexter to Walnut is only 6 cents per hundred, which would amount to only 111.97 on 26,600 lbe., when I was charged 818.68. It seems to me that you could make a clear ca~ out of tble, or what is the use of the commiesionera 11 the railway La to have their own way?

No definite location lor a station on our new l!ne in tha.t. vicinity wa.e ever ma.de until it was looated at the point where it Is now platted, viz., about one mile west of the town a.t present hea.rlng the name of Kiron.

If the location referred to by Mr. Norelins had been used It would have been impossible to ha.ve constructed a side track a.t that point over 1,100 feet in length without extending it on an eight-tenths of 1 pel' cent gra.de, which would not have been fea.sihle. In our prellmina.ry examl•a.tion throughout tha.t country the people of Kiron (consisting of a. bout one-ha.l! dozen) were liS ked to submit any proposition tha.t they might desire In connection with sta.tlon grounds. The prices named by them were, as Mr. Norelins sta.tes, excessive. No lntlma.-tlon was cvar given these people that the company would a.cquire la.nd for a. station at that point at any price, nor were any representa tions a.s to looa.tlon of the sta.tlon made by any authorized representative of the North-Western com· pany.' "Concerning your question as to whether or not it is the duty of a ra.llroad company to construct 11 switch or side track to a.n eleve.tor loca.ted on the!r line we may say tha.t lf the ra.llway company at a regular station has not provided l!lllftlclent trackage room for the reasonable needs ot the public desiring to use the same tor the purpose of shipping or recel vlng freight over the roa.d , the ra.ll-way company might be compelled to build such track a.s wa.s needed, providing the conditions were such that It could be done without unrea.aona.hly burdening the railway compa.ny, or Injuring other vested rights which the public might bave."

I have in my possession. evidence that, I think, will meet your approval in gramting me a site. " There is grain going to other towns that .should and would come to this place, but on account of the prices paid are taking said grain to other towns. "The business men say over their signatures that their business is damaged on account of farmers hauling their grain to other places. "I brought this matter before the railroad company on the 21st inet., and it is about time I was getting some sort of definite answer that ie reasonable. If you kindly favor me with your presence here, and you can show that I am not entitled to site, I will not only thank· you, but say you have done your duty to a.ll concerned. I am satisfied that when you see and hear the true conditlQn of a ffairs you will grant site as asked." .At the time the complatnt waa fi.led the commissioners were in attendance upon the nat!onal convention of railr~d commissioners, but upon. their r eturn the matter was at once taken up with the railway company and the complainant advised of the action taken, and that if no satisfactory result was reached by correspondence · within a. reasonable time then the board could fix a date for hear-ing and meet a.ll parties at Havelock. In writing Mr. Adams the bOArd said: "It may be well, however, to call your attention. to the status of the matter of granting sites for elevator or warehouse purposes in this state. This board has, in other cases,. attempted to compel railway companies to grant sites for elevator 10 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE purposes, but the courts have decided in favor of the railway companies when such cases were brought to trial for the enforcement of the commissioners' decisions. In what is known as the Nebraska case, being an attempt on the part of the state board of transportation of Nebraska to compel a railroad company to grant elevator site to cert!lin parties, the supreme court of the United States sub-stantially held that the stat'3 could not dictate to the railway comptt.ny, with whom it must do business on Its own property, that is, to whom it should lease its property for warehouse or elevator purposes. This board, however, still holds that If a railway company does not furnish sufficient grounds upon Its side-track for elevator purposes to reasonably accommodate the requirements of the publlc doing buslne s at that station, it could be compelled to furnish such reiiBOn-able faclllties. But the commissioners do not believe, under the decision of the supreme court, they would have a right to name any person or class of persons to whom such additional privileges should be granted. In other words, the state, or the commisaion created by it, would have the right to see to it that the public should have reasonable and ample facillties for doing business at the various railroad stations in the state, but would not have the right to name the parties to whom should be granted the sites necessary for the accommodation of the public, the railway company having the right to designate its own tenants." On September 5, 1899, the complainant advised the board that he wished to withdraw his appllcation for elevator site at Havelock. The railway company was duly advised of this fact and the case is closed. Dee Moines, Iowa, November 7, 1899. No. 2071-1899. HENRY REEVES, DECORAH, l v. Excessive charge. (Interstate.)

Complaint filed August 16, 1899. The board received a communication from Mr. C. D. Beeman stating In sub-stance that the Chicago, Mllwaukee & St. Paul Railway company charged for soft coal from Milwaukee or Chicago to Waukon $1.70 per ton, and for bard coal 11!2 for any size; that pea size Is now worth in Mil waukee $3 per ton net, stove and egg size $5.25; that the people had no complaint to make about the charges for anything but pea size bard coal, and for that they thought they should not have to pay two-thirds as much as the coal was worth In Mil waukee for bringing It 200 miles. The commissioners informed Mr. Beeman that, while they appreciated his difficulty, yet they bad no authority to make any regulations governinll' Inter-state shipments, but that the matter would be brought to the attention of the railway company. The complaint was sent Mr. Bird, general traffic manager, for such atten tion as he would be pleased to give it . Mr. Bird replied at some length, saying among other things: "The chargee made by our company are reasonable. We do not and cannot undertake to make di1ferlng tar! .If rates on the same article because of a differ-ence In value. For example: We charge as muoh fer the coarsest grade of brown sugar as we do for the highest grade or cut loaf sugar. The fact that the tar11f rate on a given article for 200 miles amounts to two-thirds or the cost Is not an argument. No matter what rates we make on bard coal, the rate for a long haul mlgbt reasonably be more than the entire value of the property at the ship-ping point. Even In the state of Iowa, where rates are excessively low (by com-parison), there is no distinction between the various grades of hard coal. The relative value of bard pea coal at Milwaukee and Waukon seems to me to have nothing to do with it. There should be a dl1ference in current values between .Milwaukee and Waukon of an amount equal to a reasonable rate of transportr.-tion and a reasonable profit or commission to the dealer for handling the business." M r. Beeman wae advised by the board that the oom.mlsslonere could carry his case no further, and sent him copy of Mr. Bird's letter. Dee Moines, Iowa, November 8, 1899. No. 2073-1899. J. W.

On August 30, 1899, the commi£sion wrote Messrs. Hill & Hall that from their letter it could not be de~ermined whether a street or highway bad ever been eata.~llshed or condemr:ed over and across the railway company 's right of wa.y, and until that was done, according to the decisions of the courts, the company could not be compelled to open a crossing. They were asked to infor!Il the board whether such street or highway had been legally established over and across the company's right of way at the point where the crossing wa.s desired, and, if so, to send copy of proceedings had with reference thereto, and were advised that, .if the matter proved to be in such BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. 111 shape that the commission could. take action therein, the case would be immecll-ately taken up with the raHway company, and, if some adjustment was not reached, hearing would be .bad, and the board would render its decision in writing. On September 2d, Messr s. Hill & Hall wrote the board stating that the high-way had not been laid out over the railroad, but just up to the railroad. The commission thereupon informed the gentlemen that it was the opinion of the board that, under the law, it would have no authority to oeder a. railway company to open their right of way and construct a crossing 0\Ter their tl'ack until a street or highway had beeu legally established over and across the 1·ail-wa.y company's r ight of way by the authot'ities havhtg jurisdiction con!erred by statute in such matters , na mely,. the board of supervisors, city and town councils, etc. ; that if, a fte r the street had been legally established over the railway com-pa ny ' s r ight of way, the company declined to put in the crossing, the boa rd would, upon request, take up the case, if necessary, hold a. hearing and make an order therein.

The matter of proper rates to be charged by the Humeston & Shenandoah railroad was before the board i n another case'(W. Q.

As agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-way company for the last fourtee n years, and up to A ugust of this year, 1899, I know that the old lease, which run out October, 1898, was not renewed through this station, and I am convinced, and it seems to me anyone must become con-vinced , rea.diog over the copies or correspondence pertainine- to the whole deal herewith attached , tbat there was no lease out. The St. Paul & Kansas City Grain company desire to keep out all competition, and will use all means possible to keep me out. I ask for a just hearing in the matter. The lots I have asked for are not occupied , and if the St. Paul & Kansa~ C ity Grain company bold a. lease for them it is merely to keep others out, it being t he most desirable location at the station and their3 the next; they could practically have the station blocked against anyone coming in.

Mr. Smith enclosed the papers referred to in his le tter, and the case was laid before Mr. J. F Gibson, superint~ndent of the raHway company at Marion, Iowa . In answer to the complaint made by Mr. Smith, the board said, among other things, that, ''In one case thi s board ordered a railway company to grant a. cer-tain elevator site, the company refused and the matter was taken into the court, with the r esult tbat the state supreme court held that the company could not, under the circumstances, be compelled to lease a site for an elevator. Later, in what is known as the N e braska case, the United States supreme court held that state boards would have no right to compel a railway company to furnish sites for elevators or warehouses to any certain parties. This board believes, however, that where it can be shown that sufficient facilities are not furnished at any sta-tion for the purpose of handling produce for the pubHc, that the public interests would warrant the commissioners in ordering the railway company to grant other and additional sites along its side tracks for the accommodat\on of the public desiring to ship grain, etc. , at such station.

Moreover, the agent told him that he had no buslnen to buy grato, and would not get. a car wbtle he wu here.

Please talre the mat.ter up, and it may save the neceaaity of going into oourt.' 11 It would aeem, if the atatementB made above are correot, that Mr. Weaton baa been hardly fairly treated. The commlaalonera have alwaya held that track buyers ahould be furnhbed their proportlona\e a bare of eara du ring a shortage or equipment to supply the demand ; the ratlway company having the rliht, of courte, to insist on prompt loading of cars. 11 Kindly ad viae the commlaalonera of the result of your inveatigatlona. " On t.he same day the board wrote Mr. Haynes, atatlng that t.be complaint had been taken up with tb~ rallway company and It wa.a hoped tha.t the trouble would be at once remedied. Mr. Haynes was a lso advised that the commlulonere bad unl!ormly held "tha.t track buyers, durin&' such acarolt.y of cara as now aeema t.o prevail, should be lurnlahed their equitable portion of care, but that railway companies might lnsla t on prompt loading-that. Ia, no more time should be con· au.med in loa.d.tnr car• on the track t.ban wu required !or lo&dtnr from elevators. This latter reservation seemed to be necessary from the faot c.hat many Instances were kno"n where parties ha.d. held cars for several daya to load, while ablppel'l all along the Uoe were aufferlni from t he want of oars in which to ablp t.helr produce." On September 26~h Mr. Phillips made the followlng answer to the complain· anta: 11 The management of our company doea not end ·use the action of the agent In refusing absolutely t.o furnish Mr. Weaton with cara. He would be entitled to hla abare of the equipment that we were able to furnish that etat.ion, baaed on hll ability Lo load grain at compared to partiee owninr elevators.

O n da te named. the board r eceived the following communication from the·. complainants: "We desir e to bring to your not ice the car situation in this immediate local-ity. We are unable to secure one-ha.lf enough cars to keep our business going,. and , if it continues as it has for the past sixty days any length of time, it means. ruination of our business. We can get no satisfaction what:lver from the railway company 's age nts more t han that they can do nothing for tis. I t is n.ot possible that there is such a shortage of cars that the company cannot furnish half enough cars to transact the general business over its system. We are not getting one-third the cars at this point we usually do at this season of the year, which leads us to believe there Is discrimination in distribution of cars at this point by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway com pany. At this season we expect 1ome shortage of car <> , but when it becomes so that we cannot transact one-third of our businl'ss it is not right , and we believe we are being discriminated against. by the rall way aompany in the distribution of cars." This matter was promptly taken up with the railway company, and they were asked to do everything possible for the complainants. On October 20th , Mr. W . G. Collins, general manager of the railroad, wrote the board that "There is a larger demand for cars on all divisions than we are able to furnish. W e are doing everything possible t o fill the orders promptly, and are giving Akron stat ion its fair proportion of cars. We hope to be able to furnish a better supply from this time on, as the congested condition is being-somewh at r elieved." T he board sent a copy of the above answer to the com-plainants, say ing : " It may be well to state that your complaint is only one of many that have been presented to this board on the same subject. The board has taken up the matter with the railway companies, a.nd urged that they use the utmost diligence In supplying the Iowa. patrons with cars, and the commissioners have been assured that they were doing everything possible to meet the demand and secure prompt unloading of cars by consignees."

Complaint filed October 18, 1899. 1 I ~ Righ t o f shipper to choose market. I ) Mr . Wm. Bat 11s, of Water loo, I owa , wrote to the boar d that D. B . Downey , of Allison , loaded a ca r (Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy) of m ixed oat s to be billed to St. Louis. T he agent refused to forward the car t o S t. L ouis, saying that gr·ain must be l eaded in W a bash cars to go to t ha t point. The case was tak e n u p by telegram wi t h Mr. S. C . St ickney , general manager, as king tha t he immediately wire the r easons of his company fo r its a lleged conduct in this case. Mr. Stick-ney answe red t hat there wa<:~ no g round for complaint; that agent at A llison advised the party who wanted to load Burlington car with oats for St. Louis that he would have to find out about car , and in the meantime car was loaded for Chicago. The commission ordered an investigation of the matter and wrote Mr. Stick-· ney, on October' 23d , a.s follows: "The board is informed, and , i t believes, credibly, that the car of oats at Alli-son was loaded in a C., B. & C. car and. billed to St. Louts by consig nor a.nd that · the agent of the railway company refused to ship car to St. Loui&, a nd that t his was in pursuance of instructions of the railway co~pany ; that upon the r efusal, then, car was shipped to C hicago. If this ie a subst antial statement of the facts in regard to this case i t would seem to be needless to d iscuss the question of the right of the rail way company to refuse to rec'eive and ship merchandise under ordinary condit ions. It may be conceded that there are exceptions to this rule, but none of them exist in tb.i.s case. This board has always entertained a h igh regard for the management of this railway, but it must insist that if any rules or regulations are now i n force wher eby a shipper of grain or other comm odity can-not say where his grain or merchandise should be delive red, sueh rules and regu-lations should be withdrawn at once. This matter is not regarded closed by this board until further investigation may be had to ascertain who, if any one, i s at fault ." On October 24th the commissioner s were advised that the agent at Allison still refused to bill cars as r equested by shippers, a~d Thursday, October 26th, at A llison, was fixed for hearing all parties notified. However, on Octob er 25th, the company forwal··ded the cars as requested by shippers and cause of complaint was removed.

A petition to reeo\"er the penalty provided In such act, which n.lleges that. c1efenda.nt ra.tlroad compante1 established joint rates between all stB-tlons on their reapect.lve lines In the state, and t.hey unjustly dis-criminated between the different points on their l1nes, to plaintiff's damage. &od that tho rates charged plaintiff' were unjust aod unreasonable, states a cause ot action: and that It contains further allegations showing the different rates charged between different polnt.a does not. make tbe action one based solely oo the fact or such differences as osto.bllsbtng the unjust or dlsortmlnatory char acter ot the rates charged. When two railroad companies voluotarla.lly enter Into an agreement tor jolnt rl\tes, which covers all stations ou their Jines In the stat.e, they virtually create a new and Independent Hoe, and become subject to t.be law preventing unjust dlscrtmlna.tlon and unreasonable e:xactton.
