satisfy the reader that the projectors
of the Cairo & Thebes railroad are
very much in earnest and have all the

The Cairo 4 Thebes railroad, of it,
self would be a great project for Cairo,
Tor the value TO Cairo of closer con
tact with the country through which it
will run and of connection with our
thriving neighbor with all the import
ant connections obtained there for
the southeast, would be incalculable.
But that is not all there is TO this pro-
iect. All thoughtful people have be-
Leved from the beginning that some
great trunk line was behind this move
menr-one which has not now any line
through this section and is determined
70 secure one at almos any cost.
The developments of the last few
days have confirmed this belief Some
of the highest officials of one of these
lines were in Cairo few days, They
came unheraIded and they did not reg

During the last few days there have
been some important developments
with reference 10 the Cairo & Thebes
railroad which indicate that the pro
iect is not only certain of a success
full issue. bur is portentious one for
Cairo and for this section of the coun-
try. Definite information is difficult
10 get and what can be had is eau
tiously given. but enough has been
gathered from various sources 10
leave no doubt as to the certainty and
Importance of the enterprise.
Much has already been published
on the subject. in a genera way, and
readers of The Bulletin are familiar
with the preliminary steps taken to
secure a r,ght.of way into this city
The ordinance granting the right-ot,
way over New Levee street has been
passed and one very important condi
ton imposed by the ordinance is that
the company which uses the Fight-of
way must be one whose railroad does
not now enter Cairo This condition
was cheerfully accepted by the pro
jectors which fact speaks for itself as
far as il goes; but this circumstance
has excited much curiosity and specu-
lative comment OF course il is &C
cepted as a fact that the corporation
to which the right-of-way is directly
granted will build railroad from
Cairo 10 Thebes and there has been
no tagging in this enterprise Already
over half the rght-of-way between the
TWO points has been secured; energetic
steps having been taken from both
ends of the line Where opposition
was met with condemnation proceed
ings were instituted in the county
court. One OF The suits was filed for
what Is known as the Petit land, near
Thebes and is still pending Another
was filed Saturday for large plot

plot in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth

This piece of ground had been sold by

Undoubtedly it is pleasant to loll

vehicle is happy amid the odor OF
violets and lavender that comes from
the satehet bags she has placed around
it. But, the Baroness Elizabeth Rosen
daughter of the Russian Ambassador
to this country, has more poetic ideas
She has charming little coupe at the
sides, of which, where another woman
would have a mirror, powder puff and
hairpins, she has two contrivances
which hold water and keep a handful
of violets fresh and fragrant. 1t is
a delight to step into this carriage. The
Baroness is going to have additional
flower stands in the coupe, and will
have perfume and color wherever she
goes.

capitalization would be limited to
ll1aest valuation and actual investment
instead of being swollen abnormally
by ''the familiar device of stock water
ing"
Dividends would be limited to a fair
return on actual capital said the Sen
ator, but would be virtually guaran-
teed, because the roads would be per-
mitted to make rates which would
earn not less than this normal return.
Taxes would be fixed and definite.
Continuing the Senator said:
with the settlement of both rates and
taxes on permanent basis, railroads
would go out of politics because they
would have absolutely nothing to gain
by political activity. My measure is
based on the theory that railroad con
solidation is not harmful if properly
controlled. l would not only permit
but encourage such consolidation un
