For the past two years the Archeo-
logical Institute of America has been
contemplating the purchase of the $50
acres of land in Greece upon which the
little village Of Kastri is built. The
ruins of Delphi are there, and to make
extensive explorations among them

professor of architecture Of mines, an

the $4,000, the price of the land, will
not be hard to raise. The Institute has
been given until Nov. Is to close the
bargain. The Greek government has
had many offers for the land.

DAWSON TO THE FRONT.
Her People the First to Pay Their
subscriptions to the Columbus
Southern,

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO the Columbus
Southern.
Mr.. Clid B. Grimes, treasurer of
the Columbus Southern Railway
Co., has been to Albany to see why
the people of thatcity havenot paid
their subscriptions to the road
more promptly. The following is
a portion of an interview had with
Dim by a reporter of the Albany
News and Advertiser:
How long before the road will
reach Dawson
"lf the weather is favorable
trains wilfbe running into Dawson
in fifteen or twenty days"
"You will then push through to
Albany"
"Well, you see we are pushing to.
Albany now just as fast as men can
build the road, but we have only
reached Dawson. You can count
on it that your people will see the
Columbus Southern completed to
Albany before the flowers that
bloom in the spring will unfold
themselves"
Glow far is the track Ibid p
"ro within six or seven miles of
Dawson and it is progressing at the
rate of over a mile a day"
GLOW is the financial condition
of the road 7"
"That>s the question that comes
right home to me, and that's why
I'm in your city now. Albany
subscribed S25,O00 to the road and
only three-iourths of the subscrip-
ton has been called for. Only about
$500 has been asked for from
this point and something over S.
600 has been paid, nearly oneethird
OF the amount. The contractors have
gone ahead. and not only exerted
themselves building the road, but
are equipping it. Every rail has
been bought and is now in Colum-
bus, enough to finish laying the
track right into Albany, every
tressle, has been built, the best rolls
ing stock that can be bought is on
the road, and all this has been
paid for. The contractors paid for
it, and now they must be paid
every subscriber to stock in
Dawson has paid up the entire
amount and they have their Ger
tifcates of stock. But some one
suggested that those parties can
look out and see the road right at
their doors and you can't over
here. So tar as that's concerned,
you know the road is within 30
miles of you and coming here just
as fast as it can be built, and there
is no need to hold back any longer.
"Qlite number of your reo-
pie have paid up all that has been
demanded of them, but Others
haven't. l say the road now
needs the money to pay the con.
tractors"
