The Toxic Exposition
Washington Post.)

Congress has made provision for a
bond of peace between Japan and the
United States more effective than an
arbitration treaty by apropriating ST.
100000 for the expenses of partici-
pating in the Tokyo exposition. The
exposition will be held in 1912, and
will be the first really representative
exhibition of Asiatic civilization ever
given. European countries are ex-
pected to install exhibits, although nc
other country has yet planned to
spend so much money as the United
States has appropriated The Japa-
nese government has devoted $4,000
600 to the exposition, and it is pro-
bable that Occidental visitors will
be treated to view of all the best
things in art and industry produced
in the far East.

GREAT RESULTS
ARE LOOKED FOR
FROM RULING BY INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMM Mss SION
AGAINST LUMBER.
Old Firms Will Extend Thier Busi-
ness on Large Scale-Influx of
New Firms Confidently
Expected.

There is every reason to believe,
said one of Cairo's big lumber men
Yesterday, that the ruling of the In.
terstate Commerce Commission in the
Sondheimer case will result in sons
very marked development in the lum'
Der interests of Cairo, The ruling
does away with a four cent differential
against Cairo and in favor OF Mem
phis which operated to attract busi-
ness to the latter place that should
and would have come TO Cairo. The
Sondheimer Company, for instance,
aas for many years lad extensive
wards here and has done very heaVy
business from this point, bringing
their lumber here by river and distrib
uting it by rail to all points north and
east. But the unfair railroad sched'
ule at Memphis forced them, with sew
era other big firms, to leave Cairo
and make that city their headquarters
They have been there several years
but have retained their yards here an
have always done mich of their bust
ness from here, feeling sure that con
ditions would change some time to
rt-establish normal trade. They
waited patiently till about year ago
when they brought the matter to tn"
attention OF the Commerce Commits
sion with the result that they were
sustained in their contention, as stat
ed in yesterdays Bulletin, and Cairo
will be again upon sn equitable com
mercial footing in the heavy lumber
traffic between the timber lands OF the
south and the consumers of the north
and east. The Sondhemer Company
had taken steps to establish large
yards at Memphis. in anticipation OF
defeat in their efforts for Cairo, but
this project will now be abandoned,
and their plans for extensive improve
ments in the Cairo yarGs, with greatly
increased business, will be carried
out.
Lumber men lock for a general and
very great revival of their business
here, and for an influx of new firms.
and a return OF some Of the old ones
who left for Memphis during the las.
several years. There will be decid
ed increase of lumber business in the
harbor here with a growing need OF
increased facilities for handling It. \
revival of the several big pre- elects
mentioned some time ago is confident
ly loked for. more especially the New
Orleans concern which had planned to
establish itself here on an enormous
scale.

which has been organized here.
The new concern is styled the PA
ducah Northern Railroad The com.
pany will erect line of railroad
tracks in Paducah and from the city
to the point on the Kentucky side
where railroad bridge will be built
across the Ohio river below Metrcpo
lis. Over this route any road tina.
wants to come to Paducah will get
that privilege provided it agrees to
certain conditions. which any ROAD
will comply with. In the city tracks
will be built to mills that are not al
ready reached by railroads and new
industries locating there will be built
to. 1t is the intention of the com,
pany to get privileges and rights of
way that will enable road to come
into the city from any point.
All large cities have these lines
which are terminals. IL is the only
practical method to prevent a single
railroad from tieing up city so that
another road cannot get into it. The
Paducah Northern railroad will get
its revenue from roads using its
tracks and it will interchange with

From a reliable source a News

roads mentioned.
The Frisco will also come to Padu.

other roads, use the tracks of the

Frisco will come is not stated.
There are obstacles here that would
