The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1905-12-28
Secures Line to Chicago
Through Trains to
New Orleans.


railroad com binations in the
South has been made public
through the announcement by
Colenel E l.. Russell. Vice Pres
ident of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, that his line had form
ed a traffic arrangement with the
Big Four System. which would
enable the Mobile and Ohio to
run through trains from New
Orleans TO Chicago, via Cairo,
Danvillc and Kankakee, III, over
a route, which, it is said. will be
forty-two miles shorter than the
Illinois Central between the same
points.
The announcement will come
as a com plete surprise to rail-
road men all over the country,
and will give New Orleans anoth
er direct line with Chicago.
There is every probability that
as soon as the arrangement is
put into effect, which will be
sometime early in the year, a
lively traffic war will result be
tween the new line and the lii
nois Central, which has for so
long had monopoly of the New
Orleans Chicago direct business.
The Mobile and Ohio is to run
both through fast passenger and
freight trains between New Or
leans and Chicago, and as the
competition will be very strong,
local railroadmen look for a nun
Der of fast trains which will
break ali records to be Inaugural
ted as soon as the passenger ser
vice is opened on the Mobile and
Ohio
In anticipation of the increased
business which will come to the
Mobile and Ohio in the freight
department alone, Colonel Rus
sell has placed an order with the
American Car and Foundry Com
pany at ST. Louis for 1000 new
freight cars. In view of the fact
that the Car Company is crowd
ed with orders for several years |
ahead, and is having difficulty in
securing many of the supplies |
needed ia their factories. the Off
cials of the Mobile and Ohio have
closed an agreement with the |
American Car and Foundry Com
pany by which that Com pany
will be afforded every facility for
getting the lum Der needed from
the mills along the lines of the
Mobile and Ohio in the shortest
possible time.
The present deal, which has
Just been closed has been under
consideration for some time past
and Colonel Russell has had a
number of conferences with the
officials of the Big Four in re
gard to the matter. To certain
extent it will place the Mobile
and Ohio in competition with the
Chicago aud Eastern Illinois
branch of the Frisco, which is
the ally of the Mobile and Ohio
at this point.
The service which has been ar
will not be put into oper-
alton until the new line, which I
the Big Four is building between
Danville and Kankakee, ILL.,, is
com pleted. This line is now well
under way, and will be complet- !
ed within the next few months.
The present plans include the
running of trains out of New Or l
leans over the Northeastern, as |
is the present plan, and also |
from Mobile. The connection 8
with the Mobile and Ohio will be |
at Meridian. From there the
rain line of the Mobile and Ohio
will be followed to Cairo, Ill,
where connection will be made I
with the main line of the Big {
Four. This will be followed to lie
Danville, where another connec- l

DEEP FLOWING is IMPORTANT.
Colonel Judson Advocates Its Many
ADVANTAGES


Every time ! visit the Umatilla
county wheat belt" said Colonel r. c.
Judson today, 81 see increasing and
multiplied evidences that deep plow-
ing and cultivation increases crop
yields.
II nave received list of letters
from Kansas and Nebraska farmers
who have practiced the Campbell
system Of deep plowing and extensive
cultivation of land In those states, and
every letter bears out my theory.
Where farmers there plowed from
eight to nine inches deep, their crops
were from 10 to IS per cent better
than where the plowing was but four
inches deep. This same result can be
obtained here.
'In the light land district Of this
county, where the yield has been put
IL to Is bushels In former years
am certain that the yield can be in
creased by 10 to rs per cent by nine
or 10 inch plowing, by frequent cui-
tivation while summer following, and
~ this small additional expense will
bring such results. why not enjoy the
increased incomef
Beside increasing the immediate
Yield, the deep blowing will preserve
the fertility OF the land and bring
new fertility from beneath the sur
face. You get new strength when
you go down deeper, and I am sur
prised to think that more Umatilla
farmers do not adopt the deep
blowing system once for all and en-
ioy its benefits"

Pendleton has no bicycle paths,
and its streets are muddy and In poor
condition, yet it would pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting the riding of bicy-
cles on sidewalks In all portions of
the city. The street committee of the
council last night recommended that
the petition of Joe II. Parkes and
others asking that bicycle riding on
sidewalks be prohibited, be granted
The report was adopted, all the coun-
cilmen present voting aye except
Councilman johnson. A bill for an
ordinance covering the matter will be
drawn up.
1T would work a hardship upon
newsboys, messengers, telephone and
electric light linemen and many la
borers, who depend upon bicycles as
a means of locomotion," declared
Johnson. IF they may not ride upon
the sidewalks they must walk"
Councilman Rem stated that the
city had no right to lease the side
walks for bicyclists, and his remarks
were seconded by Swearingep. Dick
son stated that he believed certain
persons should be allowed the privil-
ege of riding on the walks.

number of sewer connections was 333
and that the system was in good con-

of macadamizing the street in front
of his property If other business men
and property owners would do the
same.
