BOARD MET TUESDAY
Contractors From All Over the United tors in Session For More Than I've Hours.

The Board of Directors of the Cousette Bayou Drainage District met yesterday afternoon at two o'clock in County Judge James Gould office at the court house and let the contract for the drainage o1 Cousette bayou to G. A. New i1iia7ns of Illinois, at the rate of 10 cents per cubic yard of all dirt removed It is estimated that the work will cost about s60.e00.
 This board has had the work in hand for some time and as contem- plated and -d;scUssed carefully the draining of this bayou, which has kept so much land from heinz cnl- 0ated every year. Bids fer the work were advertised for a long time ago, and as result bids were submitted at the meeting yesterday from well known contractors all over the United States, from New York to California.
 The board was in session for more than two hours, during which time the work was talked of and the bids which had been received, six in num- Der, were opened.It is estimated that it will take a year for the completion of the work, and the board expects that the work will start about Sep tember 1. Cousette Bayou will be drained into Deep Bayou accoNa& : to the terms of the contract which will be signed soon.
 The bayou bed which will re- claimed by this drainage is about 17 miles long and from 20 to 40 feet wide It contains about 30,- 900 acres of valuable, rich and fer tile lands. The whole plot will be in cultivation in year or so, and this will enlarge the amount of cotton brought into this city, as the cotton grown on plantation of 30,000 acres is no small amount.

CHICAGo's NEW STATION.
Santa Fee and Other Lines Plan q
$4,000. 900 One

Springfield, ILL.,, April ia magnifi-
cent $20,000.O00 railroad station as a
Chicago terminal of the Santa Fe,
Wabash, the Erie, the Grand Trunk,
the Monon, and probably the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois, is the true inward
ness of the reluctance of the Chicago
& Western Indiana railroad to give the
legislature the facts that would Justify
the passage Of the mysterious bill No.
TT, which seeks to validate a bond
issue based on a merger of a quarter
of a century ago.
1t appears that the Chicago & West
err Indiana, which is owned by the
above named roads, with the exception
Of the Santa Fe, has been acquiring
real estate on both sides of the Dear
born street station, which has for so
many years been the terminal of rail-
roads whose Chicago business far ex-
ceeds its capacity. All except very
small parcel of the ground needed for
station, which it is said will have
no equal upon the American continent,
has been secured.
Fearing the price on this unpurchas-
ed real estate would be run up to ex-
the Western Indiana made a desper-
ate effort to quietly get it's merger and
bond-validating measure through the
legislature. With the discovery that
the bill would really validate about
100000 900 Of bonds, of which about
$25. 100000 have already been issued
aroused the furore of opposition which
has been raging in the legislature and
the newspapers of the past few days,
driving the Western Indiana into the
open.

BOY PREVENTS DISASTER.
Wichita Lad Discovers Broken Rail
on Santa Fe Line.

Wichita, Kan, April 19.-What
might have been a serious wreck was
prevented by the prompt action OF a
12-year-oId school boy yesterday. A
freight train on the Wichita & West
ern which came into the city at 2
o'clock, tore up the rail of the track
for distance of two feet near En-
poria avenue. This was not noticed
until about $3.50 in the evening, when
Frank Frable, a 12-year-old school
boy, saw the break while returning
from playing ball after school was
dismissed. He Immediately notified
the men at the Santa Fe round house
of the danger. The section crew
reached the scene of the broken rail
just in time to flag the Wichita &
Western passenger train which left
the depot here at 6:15 o'clock.
The rail was broken on a curve at
the intersection of Emporia avenue
and Orme street. The train is accus-
toned to make speed at this curve
and it is probable that had not the
break in the rail been discovered and
reported to the company's employees,
serious damage might have resulted.
Frank Frable, the lad who saved
the passenger, lives at 7SS North Elm
poria. His father is VIM. j. FrabIe,
and is employed by thes wholesale
grocery firm of Jet & Wood as
packer. The lad received many con
gratulatlons from the railway en-
ployes for his presence of mind in
having gone to them and informed
them of the danger.

Relations OF Lines Capitalize
ton to Their Rates.
Discussion Of This Subject by
Prairie Farmer.
INVESTORS THELOSERS
Shipping and Consuming Public
Not Hurt by OVercapitalizatiOn.
Other Items OF Interest to
Railway People.

Tn its current issue the Prairie Far
ner discusses the relation of capitali-
cation to railroad rates. 1t under
takes to show:
First, that American railways as a
whole are not overcapitalized; second,
that there is no relation between the
Capitalization of railways and their
rates; and, third. that the profits OF
American railways are not exoroltant'
=. In regard to the allegations OF over
capitalization 1T says;
1.-The gross capitalization of all the
railways of the United States IN the
year ended June so, 1905, the date OF
the latest complete statistical report
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, was S1S,S05.25si121. or s66,926
per mile. The report shows that these
figures contain duplication OF $z,-
63s. 152,12s, owing to the fact that TINS
amount of stocks and bonds of rail-
ways was owned by other railways.
Deducting this sum from the gross
Capitalization leaves net capitaliza-
ton of $11,167, los, 1922 or an aver
age of $5S,32S per mile, which is the
actual capitalization on which the
railways of the United States sought to
earn interest and dividends.
1.-The capitalizat ton per mile Of the
railways of the United Kingdom in
1905 was more than $273,00O, that of
the railways of France in 1904 was
$4,000 per mile, and the cost of con-
struction of the railways of Germany
In 1904, on which the government
earned profits, was 100000 per mile.
The average capitalization of all the
railways of Europe, according to the
latest available statistics, is over $11O,-
600 per mile.
Even more significant, as bearing
upon this subject, are figures given by
Professor Henry c. Adams, statistician
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, on page 80 of the commissions
statistical report for 1905.
Professor Adams here places the
cost of construction OF American rail-
ways at $11,170, 45S,581 and the cost
of their equipment at $7S0,Ss0,36S, a
total of $11,951,3 4S,949, and an aver
age of $55,OS3 per mile.
"It thus appears that. the railways of
an aggregate of $7S4,242, 1857, and an
average of $1,755 per mile. less than
they have cost, and for less than half
as much per mile as the railways of
Europe
On the methods of ratemaking it as
serts that rates are governed by COM
petition and then continues:
1.-THE traffic manager in making a
rate never thinks for one moment of
the capitalization of his line. All he
considers is whether proposed rate
will return some profit, however small,
over the actual operation expense of
hauling the commodity.
ITO say that railway will or can
charge higher rates because it is over
capitalized is just as sensible, and not
more SO. as to say that farmer would
and could charge $40 per busheI for
his wheat, instead of 70 cents because
he had paid $3.50 per acre for land
which was worth only SIS.
Now, as to the alleged excessive

S. A. Ellis asks $11 900 damages against
the Santa Fe Railroad company for
personal injuries he claims to have re-

and through the negligence of the
foreman under whom he was working
Ellis says that he is laborer and
was working with four other section
hands at a cu1vert between Humboldt
and Chanute on the afternoon of July
20, 1906 The foreman ordered the men
to take hold of a handcar that was
at the bottom of an embankment and
carry 1T to the track above. Ellis claims
that one of the fellow workmen drop
ped one end of the car, and that the
foreman and others then turned loose
1t dropped on Ellis with all of its 800
pounds. Ellis claims that instead of
aiding him the foreman and others
pushed the car further on his body in
order to release a portion of the fore
mans body that had been caught. This
accident, he claims, injured his left hip
and spine until he is unable to work
and to make a living. He asks $1,000
for mental distress; 5000 for perman-
ent injuries, and $1,000 for loss of time

GRAIN TRAFFIC RELIEVED.
Opening of Lake Navigation Helps the
Situation

Chicago, April 19.-Traffic conditions
in Chicago have eased to a marked
degree in the last few days. The op-
ening of lake navigation has relieved
grain and package traffic, and conse-
quently they have more cars to devote
to other lines of merchandise. AS yet,
however. there is no surplus of cars,
but the roads are nearer meeting their
orders than they have been at any
time for months past. The westbound
volume Of traffic is still quite heavy,
difficulty being experienced in the east
to get cars enough to attend to it
promptly. The roads have still more
traffic of all kinds than they can con-
veniently handle. but they are gradu-
ally working out of the embarrassment
under which they have labored through
out the present fiscal year.

KERwIN TO KANSAS CITY.
Dillon and Durham Given to Louis
vile in the Trade.

Louisville, April 19.-Announcement
was made last night that the deal by
which Dan Kerwin goes to the Kansas
City Blues has been closed and that the
Louisville club will receive in exchange
for Kerwin Pitcher James Durham and
Catcher John J Dillon of the Kansas
City club. Kerwin will remain with
the Colonies until they finish the series
here Saturday and then will join Burke's
men in their travels.
Kerwin came to Louisville from the
Eastern league and was cracked up to
be a good left handed twirler, but he
failed to make good in that line, and,
on account of his strong hitting quail
ties, was placed in the outfield. He has
guarded the right garden for Louisville
for several seasons. He is a good base
runner and a good thrower. His hitting
for the past season was better than 300
and there are not many. men in the
association who are better all around
men. Manager Cooley of the Colonies
at first tried to get Catcher Jack Sulli-
van of the Blues in exchange for Ker-
win, but Tebeau called this off, The
deal then hung fire, for several days,
but was contaminated late yesterday.
Announcement was also made that
Right Fielder Harry Cassidy of the
Blues has been given his release.
Orville Woodruff, the Colonels' re-
calcitrant outfielder. also came to terms
and signed a contract.

profits OF American railways. The to-
tai amount paid in the year ended
June 80, 1895, as interest on bonds and
dividends on stock was $493, ,435,
or an average of IA per cent on the
net capitalization. Far from being run
at large profit, the railways of the
United States pay smaller returns upon
Investment than any other large in
dustry. Those who suffer by over
capitalization are not the shipping and
consuming public, but investors who
make the mistake of paying more for
inflated securities than they are worth.

DELANO is SURPRISED.
Thinks the Railway Clearing House L:
All Right

Chicago, April 1e.-President F. A.
Delano of the Wabash railroad said
yesterday in regard to the reported
projected adjustment of the American
railroad clearing house:
''As a member of the American rail-
way committee on efficiency which has
had under its general jurisdiction tn e
experiment of handling the clearing
house. 1 am very much surprised at
the statement that it's adjustment Is
contemplated. I have heard of no
movement to abolish the clearing
house and while. as in all new under
takings. there may be some differences
of opinion by various railroads as to
the wisdom of continuing such a bu-
reau, feel very sure that the leading
roads which have undertaken this
work will continue it until the data
obtained shall have fully demonstrated
whether it IS desirable to go ahead or
to discontinue the work"
