A TELLING POINT.

Mcconnell makes his most telling
point IN that r.. L. Marvin. the present
state land expert, was the agent Of the
syndicate when the sales under Hunt
were made, and that It Is for that rea.
son that Governor Gooding now refuses
10 prosecute the purchasers on Sccount
Of the alleged fraudulency Of the sales,
II has developed that during the adj
minlstratlon n Governor Morrison the
same matter was taken up, and Il was
found that although the timber sales
complained Of were In all probability
unfortunate, that the state had no case
against the companies. Marvin explains
that he was the agent under salary 81
several n the timber companies and
that as such agent he applied for the
purchase Of the timber, and made the
necessary deposit with the state land
board 80 that their offer to buy might
be considered In good faith. As 10
whether the sale was a good one, he
had no knowledge When the sales
we're made, as agent OF the purchasers,
he paid the state land board the pur-
chase price. and personally supervised
the issuance Of deeds and attended %
other business connected with the pur-
chase.

ciates the fact that during the Hunt
administration some Of the states I'm
est timber land was sold az what ap.
pears rldicuously low price The
present land board IN It's sales Of tim.
Der has secured al least 10 times as
good a price for the timber sold, and in
most Instances compels the removal
Of the timber within two or three years.
and IN no instance is over 10 years for
removal allowed But the fault il Is be.
lieyed was not 50 much with the price
paid for the timber, according to the
amount estimated 10 be on the land
as Il was IN the estimate Itself The
Hunt administration apparently was
singularly unfortunate IN being unable
to secure any competitive bids for TIM
Der sold. IN but one instance was the
timber sold for price greater than the
estimate. and IN this case the purchas-
ers have never paid the purchase price

Jos. Ramsey, Jr., and Foreign
Bankers Back of Great
New k-Chicago Line.
THE SHORTEST LINE YET
TO BUILD THE LINE AND A
IN MONEY.


Pittsburg. Aug. 15.-PaDers of con
solidation of three railroads in diff
ferent parts of Pennsylvania will be
filed at Harrisburg this week, which
Will constitute the formal announce
ment of a project of prominent for
eign bankers, associated with Joseph
Ramsey, Jr, former president of the
Wabash railroad, to build a low
grade double track railroad from
New York to Chicago by way of Pitts
burg, which will cost about $4,000
300. Complete surveys have already
been made, and it Is expected that
work preliminary to actual grading
and construction next spring will be-
gin this fall.
1t is expected that the road will re-
quire three years TO construct. 1t is
contemplated to operate with electric
locomotives from the beginning. It
will be 65 miles shorter to New York
than the Pennsylvania and los miles
shorter than the shortest line be-
tween New York and Chicago. 1t
will be known as the New York, Pitts
burg and Chicago Air Line.
The new Keystone Air Line will
traverse the important bituminous
coal fields of Central Pennsylvania,
now controlled by the Pennsylvania
railroad, and will also pierce the an
thracite region throughout its length.
1t will not only be the shortest line
through PENNSYLVANIA, but 1t will
cross the summit of Allegheny noun
tains several hundred feet lower
than the Pennsylvania, and will have
very easy curves and remarkable low
grades for a mountain line.
Mr.. Ramsey confirms the above
above in a telegram Dispatch. The
telegram says the Information is cor
| rect. The cost of the line between
Pittsburg and New York, Mr.. Ram
| sey says. is estimated to be between
SIS, O00, 900 and 800, 900, 900, all OF
which has been pledged, the bulk of
1t by foreign capitalists.
The merger paper to be filed this
week will provide for the c~onsolida-
ton Of the Indiana, Clearfield and
Eastern, the Allentown. Tamaqua
and Ashland. and the Brush Creek
and Crows Run railroad.

Buenos. Ayres, Aug, l5.-lmnense

Root and his party, who were r~eceiv-
ed by the ministers OF marine and
foreign affairs. accompanied by Mr..
Beaupre, the American minister, and
his secretary. The visitors were
heartily cheered along the line Of the
route to the palatisl residence placed
at their disposal by Dr.. Llobet, which
was crowded with spectators. The
streets and almost every house were
decorated with American t!ags. In his
conversation with President Alcorta,
Mr.. Root expressed his pleasure at
the warmth of the reception rendered
him and his admiration for the city,
which in many respects, he said, was
similar to the upper part of New York
city.

London, Aug. l5.-J he strictest 81
as to the subjects to be discussed by
King Edward and Emperor William at
their meeting at Friedrichs- of. Up TO
the last IN it was not admitted
at the foreign Office thai Sir Charles
Hardinge would accompany the king.
He had been away OH a holiday and
broke it up to join the royal party on
the continent. His presence adds
significance to the meeting for, as the
permanent under secretary of the
foreign office, he is really h man
who carries on the foreign affairs OF
the country, and the fact that he is
attending King Edward leads to the
widest range, taking in all questions
outstanding between b two coun-
tries and those likely to come up in
the future. Germany at present Is
more directly interested in Persia
than any other country, and it is be-
lieved here that her aim is to secure
a port on the Persian gulf as a ter
minus for the Bagdad railway.
Great Britain" said an official,
does not oppose the acquisition by
Germany of a commercial port on the
Persian gulf, but, as has been stated
repeatedly by foreign ministers, the
establishment Of a naval or military
base on the gulf, such as Kiaochau, in
China, would be considered a menace
to Great Britain. AS to the suggestion
that Germany would agree to settle
the Egyptian question, giving Great
Britain her own way in the Nile val
ley, Great Britain declines to admit
that there is any Egyptian question,
and at any rate she would not consent
to treat Egypt as an object of com
mon interest with Germany, whose in
terests are small compared with

An Odyssey of Ks.

1--WE travelled up and down this land
And crossed 1t in q dozen ways,
II But l can never understand
These towns will names chock full
of KS.
For instance, word once came to me
That I should pack my grips and go
I thought at first, to Kankakee
And then remembered Kokomo.
ooh, Kokomo or K~apkakee."
I unused, now. which one can 1t be?"
So to the ticket man / went
He was a snapp mar and bald
Behind an dron railing pent,
And / confessed that l was stalled.
Some much Kd town is booked for me-"
l said. I'm due tomorrow, so
I wonder if it's Kankakee
Or If it can be Kokomo."
There's quite a difference" growled he,
"Twixt Kokomo and Kankakee."
He spun a yard of tickets out
This folded kind that makes a strip
And leaves the passenger in doubt
When the conductor takes a clip.
He flung the tickets out. l say.
Then asked. "Weli. which one will II
be?
I'll sell you tickets either way,
To Kokomo or Kankakee,"
And still / really didn't know
l thought It might be Kokomo.
At al IGlt i LOOK al CEdIIEG.
He whacked that stamping thing u
blow,
And !. a toy Of circumstance,
Was ticketed for Kokomo.
Upon the train-I wondered still
If all was right as right should be;
Some mystic warning seemed to fill
My mind with thoughts OF k~ankakee.
h car wheels clicked it out. Now, he
Had better be for K~ankakeet'
Until at last il grew SO loud
At some big town I clarnbered out
And elbowed madly through the crowd,
Determined on the other route.
The ticket agent saw my haste:
Where Go YOU wish 10 go?" cried he.
/ yelled: I've got no time to waste.
Please fix me up for Kankakee."
And then the wheels clicked, Don't yor
know
You ought TO go to Kokomo?"
Well, anyhow, I did not heed
h message that they clicked to me;
I went and LANDED wrong indeed
Went all the way to Kankakee.
Then in q rush l doubled back
Went wrong again, I'd have you knou
There was no call for me, alack.
Within the town of kokomo
And then I learned. confound the luck.
l should have gone to Eeokuk.
