Col. wood Talks.

Col Henry Wood, discussing the
sale OF the Choctaw, said: I'm my
judgment the sale OF the Choctaw
property to the Rock Island interests
will be Of great advantage to the state
Of Arkansas and to the city Of Little
Rock. Conditions were such that II
was practically impossible for the
Choctaw to maintain Itself as an In.
dependent corporation, without the
expenditure of large sums of money,
which might or might not have been
remuneratiye to its stockholders:
whereas, the property has now passed
under the control OF corporation
strong enough to hold It and to iden.
tify itself permanently with the coun.
try. For some time have seen that
the change was imminent. This
brings the Rock Island system into q
part OF the country which has here
tofore been entirely outside Of their In.
terests. But | believe they will find
after making careful investigation
that the further development Of their
newly.acqured property in Arkansas
will not only add largely to its value
but also to the traffic Of the parent
system. Probably the controlling rea.
son for the purchase Of the property
by the Rock Island was to obtain con.
troll OF the Choctaw coal interests In
the Indian Territory and to secure nc.
cess to the coal fields In the Indian

confidence to the extent of publishing
the committees action remains yet
to be determined.
1t is known that the subject OF
postponement has engaged the atten'
ton of the Worlds fair officials, and
especially Of the members of the ex'
ecutive committee. Monday and yes
terday. President Francis has given
his attention to the matter almost
exclusively since his return FROM
Charleston. Before going to Charles"
ton President Francis spent day in
Washington in conference with gov
eminent officials, and there is good
reason to believe that, as they say
in diplomatic circles, "modus vi

date of the opening of the fair year
ahead. Since his return he has been
getting others in line, and the matter
is expected to come to head at to.
