Everybody Pleased.

We have heard of no dissenting
opinion to the Everybody pleased"
with the recitals at the Scooba
Academy, on Monday and Tuesday
nights of this week, by Mrs. w. S.
Carter's music pupils.
The entertainment Monday night
was of course more to the taste of
the majority-most of us like to hear
our own little folks exploit, and then
there are not so many of us who are
exactly up on high class music.
And the little folks did well, indi-
vidually and collectively.
To those who understand and can
appreciate first class piano playing,
Miss Renie Maury's performance, on
Tuesday night. was a most enjoya=
BILE treat. The young lady has al
ways been an apt scholar, and her
preceptress has every reason TO be
proud of her pupil.
The people of Scooba have every
reason to congratulate themselves
upon the fact of having, as a resi-
dent. such a gifted musician and one
possessing in such a marked degree
that peculiar faculty of imparting
her knowledge to others, as Mrs.
Walter S. Carter.

Both Said to Have Won.

The Shuqualak Baseball Club, ac-
companied by n large number Of
fang and "rooters'', invaded ne
sacred precincts Of the old town Of
Scooba last evening, and when they
returned home this morning on their
banner perched another victory over
the Scooba team.
The game is sreported to a1ye been
a hotly contested one, and while the
scorers rendered a tally of Z to 6, in
favor Of Shuqualak, the claim is
made, and by disinterested parties
that the Scooba boys made two runs
with which they were not credited.
An impromptu dance was given at
night for the entertainment of the
Shuqualak BOYS and the young la
dies who accompanied them, and q
most enjoyable time is reported.

That New Railroad.

Considerable discussion is being
INDUCED in as to the respected mer-
it's of route to connect DeKalb
with the Mobile d Ohio Railroad by
rail, with either Scooba or Bodga
as the objective point of connection,
and we publish below letters from
parties thoroughly familiar with the
territory through which such road
would pass to make either point
mentioned:
Scooba, Miss, May Is, 1903.
Editor KEMPER HERALD:
l have been looking forward with
an eye to find some one with means
to build u railroad to connect De-
Kalb with the Mobile d Ohio Rail
road. / have looked over the routes
proposed, and in my opinion to build
out from Scooba will cost several
thousand dollars less than anyone
other suggested.
The land is sandy for six and one
half miles after leaving Scooba, on
a direct line; average light grading
for six and one-half miles, and the
next three miles is red clay. and
some hilis-a three degree curve
rounds them. This route requires
much less bridging.
For forty years | have been in the
railroad track and construction work
have helped to build several lines
of railroad, and am ready TO render
all the assistance / can in locating
q railroad from Scooba to DeKalb.

Meridian, Miss, Nay l6, 1908.

MERIDIAN, MISS, way l6, l9US.
Editor KEMPER HERALD:
/ hear considerable talk and gos-
sip concerning the building of rail-
road from Bodga, near the 173rd
mile-post on the Mobile & Ohio Rail-
road, west to DeKalb, the county,
seat of Kemper County. Being ia
miliar with every part and locality
of that section of country, think
the promoters of the road would find
it greatly to their interest to inves-
tigate route leading from Scooba
to DeKalb, which is near the same
distance.
A road starting from Scooba would
lead out i'm aSoutheasterly direction
within four miles oflDeKalb to what
, is known as the Scott place, which
is now owned by the Hon. Sam o..
Bell, and thence up Snoody Creek
to DeKalb.
From the Scott place to Scooba
the road could be built on high
ground, and n much better road-bed
could be secured. The crossing of
SucarnOchee Greek swamp would be
only a short distance, while the pro-
posed route would be something like
a mile and quarter.
Inc route from tne ScOlC place 10
| Bodga, after crossing Sucarnochee
! Creek, would only be in competition
with the wagon-hauling to the NJ. &
o. Railroad, and not a settlement
on it; while the route from the Scot t
| place to Scooba would pass through
a settlement, or near enough to it to
make it of some financial benefit to
the road, and not come in contact
\ with the wagon-hanling to the NJ. q
o. And a good saw-mill town could
be made midway, with a good ter
ritOry surrounding and with no CON-
petition. There is vast lot of tim
ber that would be moved over this
! route from the Scottplace TO Scooba.
/ would be glad to see the promo
ters inve stiga ate this route from
Scooba. Respectfully,

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-10-29

New York, Oct 29.-Going the
rounds in financial circles here is a
report that the big packing interests,
which make up the so-called Beef
Trust, are planning to form hold
ing company under a foreign charter.
The supposed object of this move is
to avoid prosecution, under both fed
eral and state antitrust laws. for con-
spiracy in restrain of trade.
The conviction of the manager Of
the Western Meat company, in Cali
fornia, under that states antitrust
statute, is thought to be the cause Of
the packers uneasiness. Nearly all
other states have antitrust laws SINH
lar to that of California, so that there
may be widespread movement
aaginst the trust and its various sub
salaries.
1t is unlikely that the packers will
hold to the plan of seeking a charter
abroad. if they have formed such
plan. because the weight of legal
opinion is to the effect that it would
not bring about the desired immu-
nifty. 1t is said that some such scheme
was advanced for the joint control Of
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads several years ago,
but that the companies counsel de-
cided that foreign company would
stand no better chance than a domes-
