ENTIRE ROADBED
James Bannahan Tells of the
Work That is BEING Done
Along the Line.
MUCH GRAVEL BEING LAID
CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENT
SHOULD MADE ROADBED AS
GOOD ASST CAN BE MADE WITH
GRAVEL

James Bannaham, or Peru, foreman
of the shovel gang on the c. c. & L.,
was in the city yesterday visiting
friends. He reports that in the
neighborhood of 90 yards of gravel
are laid on the road each day.
The G. C. & L. railroad is paying
particular attention to their roadbed
and it is thought by the authorities
of the road, that it will be second to
none when the present series of i'm
provements are completed. The
road has alraedy received the congra-
tulations of their friends for the ex-
cellent up hill battle they are fight
ing against the Pennsylvania as com
petitors for the Cincinnati traffic.
The condition of the road when it
first started, and the road of the pres
ent time are as different as two rail
roads could be. The work of gravel
ing will be continued for some time
and it will not stop until the roadbed
is in the best of shape

East Radford, VT, Sept 16-"My
Madison Square Garden speech has
been misrepresented and misquoted, y
said William J. Bryan, in an interview
on the subject of government owner
ship of railroads. He denies that in
that or any other speech he declared
unequivocally for government owner
ship of railroads. He says an alter
nate proposition would be forced up
on the people if these corporations
continued their present disregard of
the rights of the people.
If the question before the people
is, shall these corporations continue
without check of any kind in their
present methods or shall we have
government ownership? the answer
is government ownership, said the
peerless leader
If the corporations can be con-
trolled and regulated IL the interest of
the people, then government owner
ship, may not, for the present, be nee
essary."

Russian troops, who are the chief bel

a formal campaign. The Armenians
chiefly figure as the victims, being un-
