The Freight blockade.
Hon. W. NJ. STEWART,
u. s. Senate.

Railroad men estimate that there are
nearly 1000 cars 10 the freight blockade
on the Central and Union Pacific and
Denver and Rio Grande lines. 1.-The sit
uation is getting no better very fast, " said
a traffic agent to San Francisco Chron.
icle reporter. Despite all the efforts of
the Central Pacific to clear up the block.
AIDE, the freight crowding in from the
other end of the line is as great, if not
greater, in volume than that now coming
through to this city" At the General
uperintendent's office Tuesday it was
reported that on Monday nearly $50
freight cars were brought to San
Francisco by the Central Pacific They
will continue to arrive at the rate OF over
100 daily. Mr.. Fillmore says that the
number will probably be increased with
the accumulation of motive power until
the company can bring in l35 to l40 cars
day. The Central Pacific is begging or
borrowing every locomotive that it can
get from other lines to help it out of the
present difficulty. At Deming there
were 400 cars of delayed freight. The
Southern Pacific has more freight now
than it can readily handle.

Business Interests.

There is one bank, that of ], E.
Cranda)l, while two more have been
organized and are about ready for bus
iness. They are the Watauga and the
First National, in which the citizens
generally are interested.
johnson City owes much to her re-
tail merchants. 1t is only necessary
to glance at the well patronized col
umns Of the three local papers two
weeklies and one daily, to appreciate
the enterprise shown by these men.
But a short time ago all the merchants
kept general stocks of goods, but now
the various departments of trade are
well represented.
To speak OF Johnson City as q job
bing town seems singular at present,
but it will be but a short time when
drummers in the interest of Johnson
City houses will be on the road. A
wholesale grocery house, grain and
provision and fruit commission and
brokerage house would already pay
we'll.
To the north and south of Johnson
City lies vast area Of country hither-
to sparsely Inhabited, but now spring
ing up as If by magic. Wagons come
from fifty and sixty miles to trade in
johnson City because it is the best
market, and country merchants al
ready buy large part OF their goods
here.
For 800 miles to the north and south
respectively, there is no town as large
as Johnson City, and no competing
railroad point. This will Of necessity
bring that trade to this city immedi
ately upon the c., G. & g. railroad be
ing built, which will be within a few
months. In fact it promises, next tC
Knoxville, to be the largest jobbine
point of East Tennessee.
REAL ESTATE.
Real estate in Johnson City is lowe
in price in comparison with the nature
and size of the town than any place il
the country.
Good residence lots can be bough
for from $3.50 to $500, and good bust
ness lots from $500 to 5000. Thes
