Some New Faces.


 In addition to the old crowd, Alabama has presented some new faces at the conference this year, drawn from walks of life not heretofore generally included They include manufacturers, lawyers and merchants, with newspaper writers inter- spersed.
 l.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, who saw i something of the crowd at Birmingham stopped over on his way to New York for the twofold purpose of seeing the con- ference work and hearing his good friend, Congressman Hobson, speak. They do say that what MusgroVe did for Hobson in the Sixth helped to prove a plenty for l Bankhead, and that the Walker county coal magnate likes well what he has had a hand in making.
 The lawyers include Alto V. Lee Jr. of Gadsden, chairman of the house com mttee on education, and J. J. Arnold of Jacksonville, member of the committee and notorousy a friend to the schools. Senator II. E. Reynolds of Bibb, author of a Vagrancy bill which is a law in force. and a compulsory education bill. passed by the senate and faVorably re- ported in the house, is another of the new ones.
 Others include Dr. j. IT. Phillips super intendent of the city schools of Birming- ham: pr. A. P. Montague, president of Howard college and J. W. Abercrombie, president of the State university, who | will come with a story Of wonderful pros poets to tell to all who care to listen l In fact, there is no man here, perhaps,
 well prepared to tell an encouraging ] story as this young president of the his l toric old Alabama institution Of the newspaper men from afar there 1 is Robert G. Hidden of Birmingham and | Will T. Sheehan and Hervey W. Laird l of Montgomery. These, members of l the conference. can talk if they care to, l but that modesty go well known to be
 theirs always will no doubt prevent such oratorical displays.

How 1t Works.
 While it is my intention ere long to Write more extensively of the work done by these women in the needy country dis tricts, only two cases in point will be recolled here The first Is the story of China, a country district in Conecuh county where the ladies found not only lack of interest, but at least half the children out of school all the time. An association was organized; out of it came a settlement of all differences, the pro vision of better school facilities, but the active attendance of every child of school age in the district.
 Another instance was at Huffman. The people asked for an association and Mrs Matlock went out and organized it. Aft CT her talk she was shaking hands with those about her. off to himself stood q great, brawny farmer who seemed timid but interested She held out her hand and he came forward 'I am so glad you are doing this,' he said, and I have given you S5 for it. I never had any education and cannot read or write, but l want my children to learn and know everything they can so that life will not be the struggle with them it has been with me-" Out of the movement has grown a wonderful revival for education at Huffman.

KELLY WILL ENTER
AN EASTERN COLLEGE

A dispatch from Ann Arbor states
that Dan Kelly, the Oregon sprintel
and jumper has matriculated at the
University of Michigan. This seems
to settle the question once and for al
as to the disposition of the western
athlete. There have been conflicting
reports from Trainer Hayward, the
University of Oregon. Kelly himself
and other sources as to whether Kel-
ly would return to Oregon or not, but
his having matriculated at Michigan
seems to end the dispute.
Kelly will not be able to compete in
the regular games at Michigan this
year under the years residence rule.
He states that he has entered Michi-
gan for the purpose of pursuing his
studies in law.

AUTOMOBILE TO
HAUL FREIGHT
GREAT PROJECT FOR MOVING
GRAIN IN HORSE HEAVEN
COUNTRY.

From a townsite known as Coolidge,
on the north bank of the Columbia rlv-
err, it is proposed to build plank track
way for an automobile freight line into
the Horse Heaven wheat belt, about 10
miles distant. The promoters are Spo-
kane men interested in the townsite.
They will make an effort to develop
shipping point at Coolidge, as it is on
the line of the Portland & Seattle rail-
way and also has the Columbia water
WAY for navigation.
| The company's chief engineer, H. q.
| Rich, has planned the auto line, Wnlch
| is a radical departure from the usual
type of interurban lines. The roadbed
for the rolling stock consists OF fir
plank three inches thick by II inches
wide and in lengths of 16 feet or more
| laid fiat on concrete ties. The grade
of the road is ascertained by the usual
! survey, and instead of fills and cuts II
is planned to make the thickness ana
thinness of the concrete ties correspond
with the grade. Formed on the spot
where used, each tie can be made to III!
| the requirements.
The fir plank for the tread OF the
rolling stock is laid the width of d
wagon road and securely fastened to
the ties. In center of this plank tram
Way is placed a single 60-pound steel
rail of the standard steam road type,
firmly imbedded in the concrete ties
referred to- The rolling stock equip
nent consists of auto truck and wheels,
gears, auto engines of some 6O-horse-
power, and frame on which is mounted
a car body of the necessary size.
The auto wheels having solid rubber
tires make the adhesive traction great
on the fir plank track referred to ana
tonnage Of any capacity OF the motor
power can be handled. The 6O-pound
| steel rail in the center of the roadbed
| is intended as a guide rail to retain the
rolling stock on the track and prevent
| it getting off the track or upsettlng.
! A double Hanged wheel is used beneath
! the motor car on the single steel ran.
! The auto truck engines. electric gen.
orators and controlling equipment are
! installed On the car body base and all
connecting gears mounted on an auto
truck frame, as in the heavy auto
truck so popular in the east. 1t is
| claimed a schedule of 20 miles or more
can be maintained under full load
1t is figured that all roadbed con-
struction motor equipment and every
| thing necessary to place the road III
operation can be done on basis of
$4,000 per mile and even less in some
favored localities. A 15-mile line which
is about the average distance of the
sparsely settled localities from railway,
would only call for a capitalization OF
| some $4,000 and this Investment Is
less than a single mile of cost OF stan
dard railway construction. Local cap
ital can easily handle this, and such a
road opens the door for rapid settle
ment on thousands of acres of fertile
soil and add untold value to land now
Of little account owing to the isolated
conditions.

PENDLET0N GETS
BETTER SERVICE
NEW TRAIN TO PORTLAND WILL
NOT EFFECT WALLA WALLA
SCHEDULE.

Beginning Sunday, Pendleton will
have a new local train to Portland.
This train has been longed for by
Pendleton for many moons and it's
arrival will be hailed with joy. The
uncertainty of late trains over the
main line will no longer bother Pen
dletonians who wish to do business in
the Oregon metropolis.
The train will leave Pendleton in the
morning at o'clock and will reach
Portland at 5:15 The train cas-.
| leaves Portland at 7:15 and rlaehes
Pendleton at 4:1O. AS they are locai
| for the departure, they should always
/ be on time and save the people along
the line much trouble Of hat kind
! The train will consist of a locomotive
ana baggage car and three coaches
The run is 231 miles each way. The
train will stop for lunch at Heppner
| junction and The Dalles. it is believed
that later on the company will further
improve the service, adding special
cars for the comfOr, of the travellers,
i and catering especially to short tours
through Columbia river gorge by the
local public.
The new service is a result of special
investigation made by General Passen-
ger Agent McMuray and Assistant
| General Passenger Agent Scott, who
are making unusual efforts to improve
;he service in many details The re-
suit of their efforts is seen on nearly
every line running out of Portland.
Increased train service on the o. r.
& N main line never was so plainly
essential as has been shown by the
coonist travel this fall. During the
month of September this class of trav-
/ Ell on the Pacific coast. Figures for
the entire month now being compiled
will show more than 100 per cent in
crease over the colOnist travel of Sep
| TENDER a year ago.
1t is probable that the new train will
not affect the Walla Walla- Portland
! daylight service, which has, up to the
present time, given excellent results
| and satisfaction to The travelling pub
lie. AS the new train leaves Pendle-
| ton, it would be necessary for a train
! to leave here at about a. m. to make
/ connections with it, which is entirely
| too early for most Walla Wallans. The
! present train connects with a main
line overland and there is little likeli
hood that the schedule will be
/ changed. -
