A Thousand Men From
Apex to Durham.
SEABOARD AIR LINE
Prospect For Deeper Water at Beaufort
and the Coal Fields of West vir-
ginia to Put Coal There. Line
From Ia Grange to Snow
Hill.

There is development in the air and
on the land in North Carolina on the
Way of railroads actually built and
in railroads projected which are al
ready on a sound basis.
Judge r. w. Winston, in the city
from Durham. has most interesting
piece of information along this line,
which has in it statements which
show that the coal fields of West Vir-
ginia will at some early time be
sending their output across North
Carolina for shipment from the port
of Beaufort.
From him it is learned that this
summer one thousand men will be at
work on the Duke railroad from Apex
to Durham, the road of which Col.
John G.. Angler is the general man
ager, and which now extends from
Apex to Dunn. 1t is the Cape Fear
and Northern road, and the road is to
be extended on from Dunn to Colds
boro, where it will connect with the
Atlantic and North Carolina, which
means that the road, working in har-
mony with the Norfolk and Western,
which comes into Durham, will make
up the link to GoldSboro and with
the Atlantic and North Carolina put
the coal at Beaufort, which is to be
made a deep harbor.
Three squads of men are to be put
to work at an early day on the ex-
tension from Apex to Durham, each
of these squads to consist of over
three hundred men. With this active
working force it is confidently ex-
pected to finish this section by the
early fall. Then this link from Dunn
to Goldsboro, and with the Atlantic
and North Carolina there is a straight
shoot to the ocean from the coal
fields of West Virginia.
In connection with this Mr.. Fred
L. Merritt. of the Howland Improve
ment Company, yesterday said that
very shortly there would be made a
survey of Beaufort harbor, and that
when this had been done the govern
ment would take UP the work of deep
ening that harbor, so that vessels of
twenty foot draught could make use
of it. These means not alone a great
development for all that section, but
it means that with deep water at
Beaufort that the port there as an
outlet for the West Virginia coal
fields is to be reckoned upon with
confidence.
Another link of road to be built
soon will open up virgin territory in
North Carolina. This is the road
from Merry Oaks, or Moncure, on the
Seaboard Air Line to Durham. The
purpose of this is to give the Seaboard
road ending in Durham an outlet.
That road now has a branch that
extends from Henderson to Durham,
and the extension from Durham to
Merry Oaks will give it facilities be-
tween Henderson and Merry Oaks
equal to double trackage. This new
road will be used to do away with a
congestion in freight trains and it is
expected that one of the through
trains will be operated over this di-
vision, by way of Durham. This
covers section known as New Hope
Valley and the road will open UP
very fertile section.

FOR EXPOSITION BUILDING.
Des Moines Hotels Have Project of
LARGE PROPORTIONS in Mind.

Des Moines, Feb 10.-The movement
for the building of an exposition build
ing in Des Moines agitated a year ago
and first suggested by Howard He'd
rick, of the Elliott hotel, has been re-
vived with hotel people as the inter-
ested parties.
The plan is to build building con-
venient to the business center with
store rooms on the first floor to pro-
vide permanent revenue. and with
two floors overhead, the building to be
10Ox132 1t is proposed that a portion
of the second floor shall be given over
to regular offices of western represent
tatives of big shipping concerns and
that the balance of this floor and of
the second floor shall be divided into
rooms OF various dimensions divided
with roll or portable partitions. The
idea is that these can be used for sam
pie rooms by travelling statesmen and
for displays during trade conventions,
or that the partitions can be thrown up
and the whole turned into a convention
hall for the smaller conventions, or for
use for pure food shows, manufactur-
ers' exhibits, etc.
The promoters of the project have
received assurances of not only pa
tronage from the trade conventions,
but OF use of the quarters for perma-'
nent displays of goods. and have re-
ceived intimation of prospect of Sc
curing twice year showing of fur
niture for sale purposes here.
Joel w. Wilmer, of the Slavery
House Hotel Company, is interested in
the project.

Council Bluffs. Feb. 10,-Council
Bluffs has witnessed the efforts of the

ern officials and two Northwestern Of
hcials has interviewed the wholcsal-
ers and prominent retailers here in an
effort to induce them to assist in the
defeat OF the bill before congress, to
give the interstate commerce commits
sion power to fix rates. AS far as can
be learned their efforts were unsuc-

Agent Seymour of Chicago, and AS
sistant Freight Agent Kuhn of oma-

men here rather inclined to the other
side of the case.

to vote against the proposed legisla-
ton. Some of the larger shippers
were visited several times in an eff
fort to change their views, but as far

State Labor Commissioner Brigham
Receives Letter on Subject.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, Feb. 10.-Welfare work
for employees has not been inaugural
ed in the Iowa manufacturing estab-
lishments according to the statement
of State Labor Commissioner Brigham.
The principal feature Of the welfare
work" is the provision of apartments
equipped similar to club houses for the
entertainment and comfort of factory
employees during their hours of rest.
This work has already been develop
ed TO considerable extent in the lar
ger factory towns of the east but Com
missioner Brigham says that no Iowa
employer has as yet undertaken 1t. The
chief reason for the failure to inaue-
urate the welfare movement in this
state is the fact that there are few
large manufacturing plants here and
none of the cities Of the state present
the problems of the tenement districts
of the bigger metropolis.
The state labor commissioners at
