WILL HURRY
NEW RAILROAD

Milwa,. Zee, Feb. S.-United states
Marshal Reid is authority fer the news
that the Madison, Oshkosh and East
ern Railroad company has been finan-
ced by prominent capitalists of Osh-
kosh, Appleton and Menasha, and
that already a goodly portion Of the
track has been laid and the right-or-
way for the entire distance secured.
The line will start from Madison,
where it has made terminal arrange
ments with the Illinois Central, run
through the fertile Fox river valley to
Oshkosh and Appleton, and then di-
rectly north, through the MenOminee
Indian reservation, to North Crandon,
where it will connect with the 500
line. From Appleton, north, it will
not have competing line within l.
miles on either side, and traverse a
territory which will give it exclusive
control of more than 100000. 600 feet
of the best lumber the state of Wiseua-
sin produces.
The officers of the new road are
Charles Smith of Menasha, president,
and Leander Choate of Oshkosh, treas
urer C. H. Hartley, lately connected
with the Chicago & Northwestern
road, will be the general manager and
the stockholders comprise men promi-
nent in central Wisconsin.
For some time the incorporators or
the road have been feeling the senti-
ment of the different towns through
which the line is to pass, and one
applied to the Appleton common coun-
Gil for a franchise The proposition
did not appear sufficiently sound to
Appletonians, and was rather uncer-
enormously turned down The pro-
Iectors, however, were not to be so
easily discouraged and proceeded TO
explore the northern end of the route.
Rumblings of its progress reached Ap
pleton and a second request for fran.
chise was successful.

MED that there had been mutiny on
board, all were averse to discussing
the affair, though several admitted
that the report was correct. Captain

concluded his testimony before the

lation to the type of the canal. which
will be taken up after the representa-
tives of the board of consulting en-

said that the red tape necessary to me
system involved IN governmental work
compelled him TO favor the contract
plan of building the canal In order to
expedite its completion. He tho1ght
the man in charge of the work on the
isthmus should be the undisputed
head. Headquarters of the commits
sion should be in the isthmus, Wal
lace said, and the harder the commu,
nication with Washington the less
the work would be retarded He
thought the engineer in charge was
not paid an excessive salary.
Discussing the rates on the Panama
railroad he thought there should be
no classification of freight in the
schedules, but that charge of 81 d
ton should be made He compared
the Panama railroad to the railroads
of the United States as a grain OF
sand to the seashore and continued:
IF this government cannot deal with

tory manner. 1t had better leave the
railroad system of the United States
