viii Use Same Tracks.

The chief engineering officials
of the Frisco system, VIM. Eden
born, president of the Louisiana
Railway and Navigation Com
pany. Mr.. Clarence Ellerbe and
others have been in conference
at Baton Rouge early this week,
and unusual activity has been
shown in coming to some sort of
conclusion. 1t seems to be set.
tied that the Frisco is to cross
the Mississippi river north of
BATON Rouge and is to use the
tracks of the Red River road in
reaching Baton Rouge and New
Orleans. The contracts have
been signed.
At the conference yesterday
between the heads of the Frisco
and the Red RIVER Valley Roads,
the place for the erection of the
inclines was decided upon.
The inclines will be built on
the Knox lands just above the
Illinois Central incline.
The contract for furnishing
the material for this incline has
been let and the work is to begin
just as soon as the stage of the
river will allow. The Knox lands
will be appropriated if a pur
chase price cannot be agreed up
on by the parties interested.
The land Immediately adiOin
ing that now desired by the FRS
co was recently sold to the Prai
RE Oil Company of Oklahoma, {
branch of the Standard Oil, foI
1925 per acre. 1t is now assessed
at ST. per acre, and it is quit
certain that no county judge
would allow more than the SD
for the land if appropriation pro
ceedings were brought.

The Demands of Friendship.

Hast thou a friend! Serve him
seventy times seven, but fail him
the four hundred and ninety.frst
time, and forgotten is all that has
gone before. Friendship of all
things lives in the present.
Drafts on the past are but can,
celed vouchers, those on the fu.
ture are eyed askance, as posi-
bly, valueless. Now, now, pay me
now, says friendship, grim'eyed
and greedy.
This sounds bitter, but in ev'
cry experience will be found
proofs of it's truth.
The movement, at a banquet
where good wines and daintlly
prepared refreshments were be-
ing served until all were full and
Jolly, was catchy and enjoyed by
all present at that supper, but,
such an amendment if passed by
the General Assembly of 1910
and submitted to the voters OF
the entire State at the congress

The danger from impure food is greater than is
