The Big Four railroad will be rum
mag its trains into Padueah by
Christmas day, according to the state
ment made to a prominent citizens of
Padueah while in Louisville Saturday
afternoon, by an attorney for the
New York Central interests, says the
Paducah Sun The gentleman to
whom the statement was made, is in,
terestcd in the Padu1ah and Northern
proposition but was in Louisville in
consultation with railroad men On
ether business, ana after the confer.
ence the New York Central attorney
took him aside and asked about the
progress Of the Padrcah and Northern
scheme
In the interview he showed himself
to be in intimate touch with the situa-
ton here and he had maps and much
other data about the city and terri
tory, and was familiar with every
phase Of the local situation.
Glowing prospects,
when asked If the Big Four" was
making appropriations for new eV-
tensions in view of the present condi-
tions in the money marHets, the re-
bly, was that the company could build
and would construct the Paducah OK,
tension out of the operating expenses.
Local students in close touch with
the situation, are confident that Pa
ducah is to have four and maybe FIVE
new railroads in the city in the next
few years. but this is the first anthem
tic information setting a date. The
day is early enough to satisfy the
most impatient.
The big Four" has had the Padu
cab extension in view for many years
and many months ago made two sur
yeys into the city and purchased the
rights Of way. The road crosses the
Illinois Central at Parker City. ILL.,"
but Just from where the extension
will be brought to Paducah is not yet
announced.

be presented to the council tonight,
as was expected, as it has not been
completed yet However, it is hoped
that it will be ready for presentation
at the next meeting.
There is no doubt that the publicity
OF its plans has had much to 10 with
stirring up a number OF railroads that
have been seeking entrances into Pa
ducah. aud it is definitely known that
it has caused the absolute suspension
and foregoing Of the plans Of the l..
e n. to construct a cut off from the
n. C. G. St L.. near Murray, across
through Mayfield into Cairo as the
Eaducah and Northern obviates the
necessity of such a road

It would try to get the use of it in

Ferris with a chorus girl or anything

that the entire rack of tickets will be
sold at the regular sale of seats at
the regular prices that are to remain

customary to auction off the choice
seats for an opening performance of
a new theater and to boost the regular

states, will not be done at the Majestic
theater. The announcement also is
made that letters received before the
