KATALLA COMPANY SECURES OVER
THREE HUNDRED MEN IN A FEW
DAYS TO co TO NEW GOLD, COP
PER AND COAL COUNTRY,

Over 800 good men have been secured
BY the Katalla Company and will be
sent from Astoria to Seattle next Mon
day or Tuesday, From the Puget Sound
city they will be sent to Katalla to con-
struct the Copper River and Northwest
ern Railway. from katalla to the Cop
per, gold and coal fields in Alaska, The
men have been secured by Harry Lord
in charge of the company's employment
office at 219 Bond stret, in the west end
OF the city.
This office, which was started about
the first OF the week, has been doing an
enormous business since it opened. To
secure 800 good workmen, in all branches
of work. within few days is something
to make workmen look into a PROPOSE,
ton which looks good to SO many men.
Harry Lrd has been explaining every
thing that has been asked, and his
answers have given such satisfaction
that quite a crowd of railroad builders
working on the new road across the
river. have joined the ranks of the big
crowd to be sent to Southern Alaska
next Monday.
To secure S4 day and up, in coun-
try where the climate is quite mild and
the board can be secured for 50 week,
is a pretty good proposition for the un-

country over and then fail to find any
company willing to pay such figure.

Two thousand men have been work
int on the railroad for several months,
but the promoters OF the new district
are anxious to open it up as soon as
possible, so they have decided so secure
all the men they can, and are willing to
pay the price.
Consequently they are in the field to
secure from two to four thousand more
good men, and they are shipping them
to the new field free OF all cost until
they begin actual work. Every kind of
work is open to the men and the more
they know the more money they will

The New Orleans Times-Democrat of
October % says: In addition to the other
activities of the Frisco System. the inn
preston is gaining ground that the Ioa-
KUN people are seeking an entrance to
Shreveport and other North Louisiana
towns. that their Eastern business may
have more direct outlet. IT is under
stood that the Memphis, Paris and Gulf.
Frisco property. is negotiating for the
use of the Kansas City Southern tracks
from Ashdown to Texarkana. and re-
Gently W. H. DeFrance resigned his po-
sition as superintendent Of the southern
division of the Kansas City Southern to
take a position with the Colorado South
ern, New Orleans and Pacific, which is
another Frisco property. These are
taken to be straws to show the way of
the Frisco wind.
The Frisco system has been rapidly
pushing its feeders into Eastern terri
tory, the latest Of its acquisitions being
the Colorado Southern, New Orleans
and Pacific, which is to operate between
this city and Houston, Texas. 1t, in
connection with other railroads, is build
ing immense terminals at New Chal-
mette, and it is not the usual policy of
railroads to spend money i'll large
amounts with no definite object i'll view
=,
conveniently handle its business from
this port, intended for Northern and
Eastern shipment, in competition with
other roads entering this city, it must
have a more direct outlet for that bust
ness than any at present afforded. With
a more direct route to the Eastern and
Northern markets, it could and would
handle an immense tonnage that is now
denied it because of its long haul
through Houston ana then north over
| its own lines into Kansas, Oklahoma
Missouri and the East This outlet can
be easily given through trackage ar
rangements with the Kansas City South
err from DeQuincy, La, to Texarkana.
The Frisco is now operating over the
Kansas City Southern tracks from
Beaumont to DeQuincy. The relations
between the two roads is apparently
very close, and with the additional
trackage arrangements suggested the
| Frisco would have direct carrying
| route from New Orleans to Memphis,
| Nashville and other points to the North
and East 1t is assured that the Frisco
has not come into this territory to lose
| any business possible to obtain Rail
road men say the Frisco is one of the
| most aggressively managed railroads in
| the United States, and it has had a mar
Vicious growth in recent years Recent
| events contribute to the truth of the
| above statements, and if the plans out
lined are consunnated it will not only
add greatly to the traffic volume and
facilities of this port, but will put sew
trunk railway system. The Memphis,
Paris AMI Gulf is being rapidly built to
Nashville, and the Frisco is reputed to
be at the back of much activity in the
| lines building northward from the
southern part of this State.
From a railroad standpoint the situa-
ton is interesting and will be closely

be affected by contamination of the
plans above outlined

1t may be re,uleked incidentally that
Red river is not being considered fav-

the future. There are many objections

opinion of some experts. The water
problem for the future will be settled
right, but the supply will not come from
