fronted your Directors early in their
deliberations. Messrs. O'Neill and
Springfield declined to take any part
in the consideration OF this question,
owing to the fact that they were at
that time largely interested in the af-
fairs o. the Oskaloosa Traction G
Light Company. Your Directors Sc
cured the services of Prof. G. w. Bis
sell, Professor of Mechanical Engin-
eering at the Iowa State College at
Ames, who made two visits to oska-
loosa, examining the local conditions,
inspecting the books and records OF
the oskaloosa Traction G Light Com
pany and comforting with Messrs.
o'Neill and Springfield, who, at the
date of his last visit, had disposed of
their interests in the Traction & Light
Company. Prof. Bissell made COM
plete and exhaustive report of his
findings and your Directors now feel
that they are in a position to deal In
telligently with this question.
Our proposition has been inspected
by engineers representing several diff
ferent financial institutions, and much
of the time of the President has been
devoted to furnishing information to
these parties. Extended negotiations
are being carried on, and at this writ
ing these matters are still under con-
sideration, and we hope the outcome
will be favorable. The first assess
ment of 20 per cent has been cheerful
~ and generally paid.
The following persons have been
settled with for the right of way and
contracts on file in office OF Company.
The right of way has been largely do
mated by the owners. or substantially
so.

which was mailed to every property
owner along our projected lines, the
policy Of your Directors with refer
ence to the right of way was made
plain.
As soon as the maps, profiles and
property descriptions were received,
the same were carefully inspected and
checked, forms for right of way deeds,
vouchers and.escrow agreements were
prepared and printed, and deeds and
vouchers written, containing carefully
checked descriptions. Letters were
then written to all the property own
ers along both surveys requesting
them to call at the Office that they
might be interviewed regarding the
right of way. Responses to these let
ters were very frequent for the period
of three weeks following their mall
ing, and continued with more or less
frequency to later date; but prac-
tlcally all of the right Of way work
has been the result of numerous per-
sonal interviews and visits to the
home of the property owner. 1t was
soon discovered that the property
owners along the lines, with the ex-
ample Of the high prices paid for right
of way by the c. B. & @. and the Chi
cago & North Western Railways, were
determined to secure as large prices
as. possible from this Company for
right Of way In fact, II seemed to be
a prevailing impression that the large
sum Ct money that had been raised in
oskaloosa by subscription and taxa
ton was going to be sufficient to build
the road and pay large prices for right
Of way; while, as a matter OF fact, the
original demands of the property own
ers for right of way, II complied with.
would have cost considerable sum.
To educate these property owners
to the necessities of the situation tnd
to convince them that our road would
be benefit rather than detriment
to the lands crossed, the proprietors

OF the Herald were prevailed upon to
send their representative, Mr.. Roy
Robinson, to Des Moines to interview
the farmers along the Des Moines- Col
fax line, and put before the readers Of
that paper the actual experience or
these farmers with an interurban
road. Mr.. Robinson was equipped with
letters of introduction to Mr.. Polk,
the manager OF the Des Moines inter-
urban, who courteously supplied him
with transportation over their line;
also Mr.. Chamberlain, the right Of
way agent, who was also very } te1nful.
The result of this work has come be-
fore the public and it has been a po.
tent factor In the progress that has
been made to this date with the right
of way.
The right of way has been secured
from I street in the city limits Of os-
kaloosa to the Rock Island station in
Beacon with the exception of twelve
pieces, four of which it will be neces-
sary to condemn, and on the remain
ing eight negotiations are in progress
that may be concluded almost any
day. Right Of way on the two lines
between Beacon and White City to the
extent Of between six and seven miles
has been donated and a number of sat
isfactory options have been secured,
but there still remain a great number
Of property owners who persist in
their determination to exploit this

do so. and in a great many instances,
your Directors feel inclined to resort
to condemnation proceedings rather
than pay the prices asked.

The Directors. deeming it desirable
that the stockholders should have
some reliable information as to what
has been done in furtherance of our
enterprise. beg to submit the follow
ing:
Your organization was completed on
the s0th day Of August and the affairs
Of the Company placed in the hands Of
President Harry E. o'Neill, who has
been employed to give his personal at
tention to the affairs of the Company
under the supervision of the Board of
Directors. The present ofices Of the
Company were at. once secured and
furnished, and immediate attention
s.;sss 8. 60. .o ;esi a competent engineers
to make surveys for the Company.
Owing to the fact that Messrs. Lich-
ter G lens, of st. Louis, had already
done some work in this vicinity for
Messrs. Francis and Scullin, they
were called into consultation. and q
contract concluded With them for COM
pleting surveys from oskaloosa to
Buxton via White City, together with
an alternate line from White City to
Beacon. This work once started, the
services Of stenographer were Sc
cured. the subscriptions tabnlated and
verified, and a call issued for the first
installment due Under the subscrip-
tions. The forms for vouchers, dupli-
cate receipts and other printed blanks
were prepared and system OF audit
ing and checking accounts adopted.
With the completion of the field
work on the surveys, it was brought
to the attention Of the Board that It
would be possible to secure a favor
able consideration OF the financing Of
our enterprise at st. Louis owing,
largely, to the fact that Messrs. Fran
els and Scullin were al that time in
terested In our Immediate vicinity, be-
ing large stockholders in the ottnm-
wa Traction & Light Company. A
representative Of one Of the large
trust companies Of st. Louis visited
oskaloosa and was taken over our
lines, and later, Mr.. o'Neill visited st.
Louis and discussed the proposition
with the trust Company representa-
tives who gave favorable assurances
that when we were in position to
commence our construction they
would be glad to take the matter up
at greater length and give It every
consideration. This prospect, how
ever, has since been taken out Of the
range of probabilities by the sale of
the Francis-scullin interests at OF
tumwa.
During this same period, and while
the Office work on the maps Of our sur
veys was in progress, the entire work
of the engineers, embracing both sur
veys, was inspected by your Board Of
Directors. many Of whom had never
visited either White City or Buxton.
and, as a rssult of the inspection of
this work. your Directors now have.
not only a better knowledge. but a
higher opinion of the commercial val
ue OF our enterprise.

AMERICA SEES NO
CAUSE TO INTERFERE
Men Sentenced In Mexico for Killing
Americans Must Stand the Sem
tence Imposed.

Washington, March 1.-THE state de-
partment has reported to the friends of
Finstad and Coughenor, the Americans
just sentenced at Chihuahua. Mexico, to
twelve years Imprisonment for the kill
ing OF the Americans, Rutherford and
McMurray at Diaz, that it has found
nothing so far in the proceedings before
the Mexican courts to indicate that there
has been any denial OF justice. and on
no other ground could the department
undertake to interfere with the execution
of the sentence. The fact Is that Finstad.
In whose case many Californians. includ-
ing the two senator's. have interested
themselves, Is not an American citizen,
but a Norwegian. and the only cause for
action on the part of the state depart
ment was found In the American citizen
ship of Coughenor. alias shorty" who
was a servant on Finstads place
The department has instructed the
American consul at Chihuahua and the
second secretary of the American em-
bassy at Mexico City to watch the de-
velopments OF the trial and keep the de-
partment informed. which they have
faithfully done. The prisoners have
taken an appeal to the supreme court of
Mexico, and the further proceedings will
be kept under observation.

CAR. SERVICE RECORD
FOR ALABAMA Is GOOD

Citations are shown in the report in regard
to the matter of detention, and thrty-nine
are shown in the matter of the number

If coal at the mines was shown In
the Alabama Car Service report, it would
bring this state much closer 10 the top
of the column in the number of cars

more than half dozen associations show

the Alabama association.
Manager Moody estimates that there are

1t would bring the average number hand

monthly, and would increase the yearly
number by 49,. coo cars. which would make
the total over 10000 cars This would
place Alabama nearer the top of the

that it would be an injustice to the mine

ATI ANTIC CITY OFFICIALS
PLEASED WITH BIRMINGHAM

by Mayor Ward, Street Commissioner
John McCartin and other city officials.
Atlantic City is planning extensive street
improvements, and 1t was a question OF
some discussion there whether btullthis,
the asphalt or the brick pavement should
be used. The party went first to Phila-
delphia and then to ST. Louis. In those
cities they were prevented from accom-
plishing anything ON account of the heavy
snow They next visited Nashville and
from Nashville came to this city. They
left last night for Chattanooga, After
respecting the pavement there they will
go to Asheville and then back to Atlantic
City.
When seen last night just before their
departure all the visiting officials were
enthusiastic in their praise of Birmng
ham. They further expressed themselves
as being favorably impressed with the
paving here. especially In comparison
to that in other cities.
"The work here, from our days obser-
yation seems TO be conducted in more
Dusiltss-lihe anu ssSleihdtic way tndH
in other cities,'' said Mr.. Hackney. From
all that we can tell, the pavement, espe
cially the bitulithic. appears to be well
laid. Fifth avenue is certainly a fine
driveway.
I'VE are surprised to find so much
progress and prosperity In evidence here
and think this the most enterprising,
and In nanny ways the most attractive
city in the south. We desire especially to
thank the city officials of Birmingham
for the courteous treatment extended to
us while here. Nowhere have we been
more cordially received and judging from
the people | have met during my short
stay here you have a most hospltable
citizenship"

and the box car. Every bone in his body
was crushed. He was sent Immediately
