Roanoke. Va, Oct. l1.-At the
annual meeting OF the stockholders
OF the Norfolk e. Western railway In
progress here today, vote will be
taken on tho proposition 10 increase
! the capital stock OF the company to a
total OF $IsS,00O,OOO by issuing S34,

value OF 500 q share. A proposal TO
issue convertible boads 10 tho

S34, 100000 viii also be decided at
the meeting. Both propositions will
probably carry.
The bonds IL issued, will contain
provision allowing the holders to
convert them into common stock.
The S84,000.0O0 issue of common
stock viii be made Immediately upon
ratification but will be placed upon
}c market from time TO time as the
policy Of improvement and extension
inaggurated by the road demands.
According TO the reports OF tho
officials, the gross earnings of the
Norfolk & Western have more than
doubled within the last decade and
the increased traffic renders I'M
provement in the, gccIlities OF the
road absolutely imperative. In the
past these Improvements have been
provided mainly by appropriations
from the surplus income.
The common stock OF the Norfolk
& Western now pays 4 per cent aud
il is believed that the rate Of divi-
dends will soon increase.
1t has been persistenty rumored
that the increase IN the capital OF the
road TO be voted on today is for the
purpose OF purchasing the Deopwater
& Tldewater road, now in course OF
construction between Norfolk, Va,
and Deepwater, W. Va. The officials
OF the Norfolk & Western emphati-
cally deny this rumor and declare
that the stock and bond issue is sole
ly for the purpose OF improving and
extending the present lines.
About $50 miles Of tho Deepwater
& Tidewater is now completed. The
road will eventually extend from
7omeroy Ohio, on the Ohio river, to-
the Atlantic Mt Norfolk and will con
meet with the Lorain, Ashland &
Southern now being built from Lake

The Crow reservation in southern Mon
tara is only a few hundred miles distant
from the ShoshoTe reservation and is lust
such a land Of promise. 1t, also, is splen-
didly watered, and the climate is about
the same as that of the Shoshone reserve.
The Crow reservation is under Supt.
S. G. Reynolds. who has brought the Crows
out of Their wild life and has put in effect
a farming system, which, il pursued for
tho next five years, will put the Crows
among the self supporting and wealthy

Crows have made progress in agriculture

ton is also the centre Of he Montana fruit
belt. There are only a few hundred Flat
heads and the tribe is dwindling rapidly.
None Of these reservations will be opened
by a rush for the choicest lands. The
injustice Of this system was sho wn in the
