FORMOSA BECOMES
A LAND OF RAILWAYS

Toxic, Sept. 29.-Japan is about to
open the main trunk railroad line con-
structed in Formosa since her occupa-
ton Of that island in 1895. The Japa-
nese program Of construction was laid
down in 1899, and called for the compile
ton Of 272 miles of roadbed in nine
years. 1t has been carried out to the
letter.
Sixty-two miles Of completed roadbed
were taken over from the Chinese in
1885. SO the main line today covers a
total of 1874 miles. Japan built the 272
miles in question at 81. 900, 900 less than
the estimate, and the sum thus saved is
to be applied to various improvements.
The existing roads already are profit
able, having earned last year $3.50, 900
net.
a concession to build 45O miles OF
branch lines has been granted to the
Formosan Sugar Refining company,
and 80 miles are already completed.
Through traffic over the main line will
begin in October of his year.
Since the South Manchurian railway
adopted the broad gauge system this
year. there has beer a remarkable in
crease in receipts. The total receipts
from passenger and freight traffic in
July of 1907 were 10000 while in July
of this year they We're $336, 600. an in
crease of $50, 600.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
BUYS GREAT WESTERN

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-The Canadian
Pacific railroad will invade the United
States and compete with the great
trunk lines for northern transcontin-
entail traffic, according to kilograms
from Montreal received today.
At the general headquarters Of the
Great Canadian system in Montreal.
1t is stated that the railroad. through
it's subsidiary lines, the Minneapolis,
st. Paul & Sault Ste Marie, prectical-
ly has taken over the Chicago, Great
Western railroad and will operate its
own trains over it's line into Chicago.
1t is recognized that in the Chicago,
Great Western the Canadian Pacific
has found an almost ideal connecting
line into Chicago. Heretofore the Ca
madam system has had to depend on
the Wabash to establish connections
With the Great Lakes metropolis.
Beside giving the Great Canadian
system the desired Chicago terminal,
the transfer will have the effect of
opening up a territory embraced with
in the trade limits of Chicago. Kansas
City. Omaha n Minneapolis. which
branches of the Chicago Great West
ern reach to direct Canadian trade.
1t also will enable the Canadian road
to make ven a stronger bid for trans
Atlantic traffic through the ports of
Montreal and Quebec.

BUSINESS DISTRICT
OF KELLOGG RUINED
BY 100000 FIRE
Water Supply Gives Out and
Panic Stricken People Await
Help from GrinneD.

kellogg. la, Sept. 2S.-ITire starting
yesterday afternoon and burning antil
late last night inflicted a damage of
at least 100000 upon the town OF KEEL
logg and destroyed practically an entire
business block on the east side of Main
street and one residence adjoining.
The buildings burned include the frame
hardware, implement furniture es-
adjustment of BobZin & Son, valued at
SO, 900 or more; the HobZin Bros. gen
eral merchandise store and opera
house, y drug store, the large two-story
veneefed brick bank building of the
Burton & Co. State back. q fine resi-
dence of Carl Bobzin. just completed,
and the Alex Fisher livery stable. The
brick bank block withstood the flames
for a long time, but finally succumbed.
and is probably a complete loss, as are
the office and plant OF the Kellogg
Tribune on the second floor.
The fire started from a burning rub
blsh heap near the Fisher livery stable.
Before the Kellogg fire department
could prevent it the flames spread to
the adjoining business buildings, all OF
them frame ind dry, and then the fire
soon became terrible in aspect and
threatening to the whole town.
Water Supply Fails.
While the volunteer department was
equipment. the water pressure began
to fail and in the very midst OF the
fight against the fire the reservoir was
completely emptied. An alarm was
sent to Newton and Grinnell. From
Newton came many volunteers with
ladders and other equipment; from
G%rinnell came the steamer, both or
special trains. The Grinneil steamer
alone saved the entire business district
from destruction.
The people of Kellogg We're panic
stricken for q time. When the water
supply began giving out, a great fear
took possession of men and women on
every hand, and preparations We're
made to empty buildings and homes in
the danger limit Of their contents. The
merchants on the west side of tho
street made a frantic fight to put out
the small blazes that We're started on
the roofs and in front. Their fight
might have been III vain. but for the
arrival OF the Grinnell steamer and the
production of q new water Guppl-.
1t is difficult to get at the losses or
the insurance. The total loss, how
ever, will reach 500, COO. The Bobzin
implement, hardware and furniture es-
Enlistment suffered a loss of $50, 600.
There was insurance on the building,
but none on the stock The bank loss
will also be large. and the loss on the
Bobzin general store.
