 Captain Clifford figures his investment at nearly $l.OOO,O00 about s5O0.0O0 of which came from the Champaign County farms and about s250O00 from the Ford County lands. He 'laughingly says his railroad isn't much more than a plaything yet, but in time 1t may prove valuable prop erty. Ten or twelve additional miles of track will be laid next year The tillable area of his land will be increased next season by 50 per cent.

 Special Contracts.
 Instead of letting his farms to tenants under the customary form he makes a contract with each one. reserving the control of the property and the owner ship of the crop until divided. Instead of receiving one-third of the crop for rent, he stipulates that he will give the tenant two-thirds of the crop in payment of his work. Some tenants tried to defraud him by selling the whole crop to grain buy CTS and he brought suit under his con tract.

Builds Another Road.

As the land became tillable the enter prising drainer concluded he ought to have his own railroad running through the tract in order to tempt good class of tenants by giving them every conven- fence. Accordingly he laid out a line through the lowest part of the swamp in north and south direction. and was able to secure a grade not exceeding fifteen feet to the mile. About 25 per cent of his land was timbered, and he cut from it ties for forty miles of track. besides 3O0,- coo feet of lumber for buildings From big railroads. discarding light rails and roll ing stock he was able to buy steel rails two locomotives, and nIneleen cars at bargain prices.
 Some Hoosier wits have called the cap- tains system a secondhand railroad !" but he can afford to smile at that sort of humor.
 He has built twenty-four miles of track between Kersey. on the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa Railroad southward through the center Of his property to McCoysburg on the Monon Railroad. He intends this road shall ultimately reach Chicago, and enable him to turn a large part of his farm into vegetable garden for supply inging the Chicago market. The line has been laid out tentatively to Chicago Heights, where 1t may connect with a road giving an inlet into the city. One half of the right of way from Kersey to Chicago Heights has been secured, and the roadbed Is graded to the Kankakee river.
 May Tap Coal Fields.
 The right of way has been secured also twenty miles south of McCoysburg and line mapped out of Lafayette It is pos- sible this line will be diverted to the southwest to tap the coal fields and quar- ries of the Wabash Valley. for Capt.

BRIGHTWOOD INTERESTS.

Association Adopts Resolutions on
Railway Accommodations.
The ceaseless downpour Of rain last even
ing did not deter the enthusiasm Of the
Brightwood Citizens Association. nor did
1t interfere perceptibly with attendance.
President Louis P. Shoemaker presided.
Joseph r. Keen, who was for many years
District superintendent Of schools, was
elected to honorary membership. Mr.. Shoe
maker announced that there would be a
special meeting of the association called in
about two weeks time.
A number of resolutions upon various
subjects Of interest were adopted. One, re-
ported from the committee on railroads,
authorized the committee, with the presi-
dent Of the association, to call on the of
ficials of the Washington Traction Com
pany and protest against the further use of
open cars on the Brightwood line during
the winter season.
A resolution was also adopted indorsing
the Commissioners in asking for larger ap-
propria ton, and expressing appreciation of
their efforts before the committees Of Con-
gress in behalf Of the general welfare of
the people Of the District. Other resolu-
tions adopted were those indorsing the es-
adjustment in the suburbs Of Washington
Of several business enterprises which pro-
vide employment for a large number Of
people without marring the beauty Of the
city: advocating the construction of the
Memorial bridge and suitable bridges over
Rock creek, and the extension of 18th and
14th streets, these improvements to be made
at the expense Of the government; request
ing that the cars on the Brightwood line
be ordered to stop Immediately in front Of

NO CAUSE FOR ACTION.
Report on Complaint OF East W as n
Ing Heights Citizens.

At the last regular meeting Of the East
Washington Heights Citizens Association
1t was decided to call the attention or the
District Commissioners to the defective Gull
vert under Branch avenue near its intersec-
ton with Pennsylvania avenue extended,
and to the stagnant pool of water on the
southwest side, which pool, it was declared,
is a menace to the road, as we'll as to the
health Of the public, with a request that
they drain the pool and improve the road
as soon as possible.
by Mr.. G. b. Hunt. the computing engineer,
he states that he has examined the locality
and found no cause for action. The culvert
referred to has failed at it's lower end by
reason OF q landslide which occurred sew
eral years ago. he says and at the time an
iron pipe Was placed in the waterway of the
failed section to provide for drainage flow,
but this was crushed, showing the tre-
mendous forces at work. Now and ever
since then Mr.. Hunt says, the water has
percolated through. although he admits
that at times the flow is interrupted and
some accumulation occurs at the upper side
of the bank. Yet. he thinks, when a mod
crate head has been produced, satisfactory
drainage has been resumed. He reports
that at present there is an accumulat ton of
water about two feet deep over the upper
flowing out faster than ii is flowing in as
is shown. he contends, by an examination
of the stream and Of the ice which covers
the pond He declares that the water Is
not stagnant. but that 1t is constantly re-
newed by fair-sized running stream.

The Filipino Petition

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your newspaper 1 read yesterday an
editorial which denied that Filipino writer
may be the author Of the petition present
ed the day before in the Senate because
it Is said, there Is not in such appeal any
thing Of oriental or Asiatic ideas, on the
contrary to its style is true American.
AS L carried the petition and had the
me to assure you it was written and COM
posed by a Filipino. who l know very
well, but do not wish to publish his name
because l am afraid to put him in a risk
to be deported, according the fashion now
in my unfortunate country. While l am
ready to assume any responsibility OF that
petition.
Regarding the style of it, please read the
Spanish original Of the document and you
will find 1t in the characteristic Filipino
style, though in the English translation
which caused your doubt and which was
made in this country, at my request, nat
urally you found the American style.
to ask you what kind Of such ideas did
you find In the scientifical books of Mercado,
In the sacred orations Of Burgess in the
novels Of Rizal. in the poems Of the Apostol,
in the Constitution Of Malolos, In any lit
erary production Of the Filipino intelligency.
but our education. our manners. our cfviii-
zation. are European, and so our ideas. as
the American ideas are.
Besides you must not be surprised II
the Filipino Appeal invokes the names Of
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. can
show you many Filipino documents with
the same invocation. because these names
are always on our lips and in our hearts.
