Boy, Too, Was Sorry.

It was such an enticing slide that
no boy could resist it, but this the
stout old gentleman who was stepping
along In gingerly manner failed to
realize. He thought nothing about II
until he collided with the boy who
knew the slide for the best to be had,
and they both went to the ground;
the boy, who was small and thin, be.
low, and the old gentleman, who was
stout. on top.
The old gentleman found the boy
much softer than the sidewalk would
have been, but when he regained his
footing he looked with dignlfied ~
proof at his late cushion.
MY boy" he said, "it is evident
that one Of us should apologize, and
as you seem to be out Of breath, I
will say that I am sorry this unsssm.

henceforth no forest reserves shall be

TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

President Elliot of the Northern
Pacific railway states tho truth in a
nutshell when in his pamphlet entitl-
ed THE people and the Railroads. he
says that the cause OF the congestion
in railway traffic, that has almost par
allied business throughout the entire
country. is the result of the FAILURE of
Of the railroads keeping pace with the
growth of the country.
From a mass of figures presented 1t
is shown that the total increase of
railroad mileage during tine past ten
years has been only II per cent, which
includes the building OF all branch lines
and the increase OF equipments have
only been from 20 to S5 percent
In the same time the passenger
business of the country mas doubled
and the freight traffic has increased
lis per cent.
The farm contributes to the COM
merce of the country three times what
it did Is years ago. In 1890 the value
Of farm products. every pound of
which, except the little that is consum-
ed on the farm, must be carried by the
railroads was 50. 5000 900. In 1900
It grew to s4.717. 100000: in 1905 1t
reached s6,415.oOo 900; and in 1905 it
is estimated at $1,000, 600. 900.
Twice as much steel was produced
in 1905 as In 1900. The increase In
pig iron was about 70 per cent in the
same time, and the estimated coal
product for 1905 is 1000, 900 tons in
excess of 1900.
PETROLEUM more than doubled be-
tween 1900 and 1905 and Portland ce-
ment jumped from s,4s2.oo0 barrels in
1900 to 100000 barrels in 1905. In
1890 the value of the mineral product
was $62O.oOoO0O in 1906 It was ST.
100000, 900.
The value OF the manufactured pro-
ducts in the United States in 1900 was
$4,000. 100000; for 1906 is is estimated
at $4,000 900 600.
II is obvious from the foregoing that
the railroads of the country have not
kept up with the increase In produce
ton. much less abreast of the rapid
development.

Onlev ON 2Sth instant, to organize ior
the purpose of perpetuatiug the truths
of Confederate history, merits the
hearty approval of all who love the
lost cause and the patriotic deeds OF
the noble heroes who fought and died
for it. 1t is call to duty they can
not afford to ignore. There Is no
brighter page in history than that in
which the true record of the Con-
federate soldier is given aud his sons
and daughters owe it to themselves 10
see that it is not besmirched or bellt-
tied by those who fought on the other
side. This they cannot do,if they are
not posted as to the events in the lives
of the Confederate soldiers and in the
iustice of the cause for which they
fought. Properly organized they can
learn of these things and hand down
to future generations the glorious
record which the Confederate soldiers
made for themselves. All of those,
who can, should be present at the

Confederate Soldiers.

The daughters and sons OF Confed-
crate soldiers of the Eastern Shore OF
Virginia are most earnestly invited TO
meet at Onley Station on Thursday
March 2sth. 1:3O D. M, for the pur-
pose of organizing a chapter OF the
Daughters of the Confederacy and a
Damn of the sons of Confederate
Veterans. Every other county in the
State has an organization of this kind
and are doing a noble work in writing
a true history of the South and her
GRAND heroes. 1t is a solemn duty we
owe our fathers, brothers and sweet
hearts, whether living or dead, to or
ganize also and assist in the noble
work in which they are engaged. Inc
daughters and sons Of Confederate
soldiers of the Eastern Shore surely
are as patriotic and as devoted to the
cause of our Southland for which their
fathers fought, suffered and died as
are those of any section of the State.
Capt. Geo. w. helms, inspector
general of First Congressional district
and his wife, State organizer of chap
ters of U. D. c., will meet us at Onley
on above date.

Trolley Meeting.

Pursuant to adjournment, the mass
meeting held on February 25th. met
at Onley Tuesday, March 18th, for
the purpose of further considering
the advisability of constructing al
trolley line.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read, after which the commit
tee appointed to solicit stock made
the following reports:
Onancock, S13, 100; Onley, S., ZOO;
Accomac CHI, Sc, 900; Wachapreague,
81, 775; Tasley, $1,000; louisville,
g., 800. Total, S31, O75.
Mr.. @. @. Long, Gen'l. Manager of
the Tazewell Electric Railway Com
pany, was then introduced and gave
practical talk of considerable infor-
nation, as to cost of construction, &c.
He stated that his line was % miles
in length, from North Tazewell on
the Norfolk and Western railroad to
Tazewell, the county seat. The
population at the two points did not
exceed 1000. The road had been in
operation three years, and showed a
steady increase in receipts from the
beginning. The population had grown,
and the value Of property in that
time along the route had advanced at
least twenty per cent. The road
furnishes motive power for manufac-
turing plants, electric lights and cleo
trio fans. The schedule given was
satisfactory to the patrons, and last
year the dividend paid was II per
cent.
In his Judgment the outlook in this
section was equally as favorable, and
promised investors safe investment,
and interest above the usual rate.
On motion, it was ordered that a
committee of three be appointed to
procure a charter at once, for a troll
ley line touching the following points
Onancock, Onley, Tasley, Accomac
G. H. and Wachapreague.
B. T. Gunter, j. H. Fletcher, Jr.,
and S. K. Powell were named as the
committee.
Mr.. B. T. Gunter moved that the
proposed line be run from Onancocb
to Onley, and to Accomac @. H. via
Tasley, and from Onley to Wacha
. preague.
Mr.. N. w. Mock offered as a sub
stltute to this motion, that the line
, be constructed at present, from Oman
: cock to Onley, and to Accomac @. II
5 via Tasley, and that the Wacha
: prague line be constructed as sool
, as sufficient funds could be procured
, The substitute was adopted by ;
small majority.

The result of the trolley meeting at
Onlev on Tuesday, published in
another column, speaks for itself and
in way, though disappointment to
some. which will be gratifying to
many of the people of the Eastern
Shore. The decision reached i'll the
matter. briefly summed up, was that
while at present the trolley line could
not be built along all the routes sug-
gested at the meeting, because Of a
lack of funds, that it could be be-
tween certain points, with the ultimate
object in view of extending it to every
section of the Peninsula. In fact. with
only enough money promised and IN
sight to meet the expense of construc-
ton of trolley line of few miles
there was nothing left to the proJec-
tors of the enterprise to do but to
select at first a short route and the
one from which they had the right to
expect the best returns for the money
to be invested by them. If that pays
then the proposed trolley line will be
extended to many places throughout
county-if it does not then the shorter
the line the better it will be for al
concerned. The enthusiasm shown
at the meeting and since in the enter.
prise leads us to the conviction that
the work on same will begin soon anc
be pushed to completion between the
points designated at the meeting, a;
rapidly as possible.
