The HUSTLERS
IN CENTRAL|A
NOT AS LARGE AS
AT CAIRO AND BELLEVlLLE-'
BUT MEETING WAS SUCCESS
IN OTHER RESPECTS.

Speaking of the melting OF the Egyp

the Centralia Democrat says editor
tally:
The Hustlers meet is over and all
hands are satisfied. The incidents OF
the meet went smoothly its affairs
were capably handled and the Cen
trail committees did thir part extreme
~ well. No just complaint of the lack
of a. ything was made by the Hustler5
thusiastic and universal in praise OF
the welcome extended them by Cen
tralia and the plans made for theil
entertainment, They voted this the
best meet ever held, and they acted
like they meant it. The decorations aro

vance Of what was expected that eV
c.ybGdy was especially delighted VIII
the appearance Of the city The ordei
was excellent. Not an arrest wa.
made and The police department is en-
titled to great credit for the splendid
way the crowds were handled.
We say everyone is satisfied Thi-
may not be strictly rue. Those whl
expected crowds of from ten 10 TWEEN
ty thousand people here were disap
pointed for there was nothing upon
which to base any such expectations
There were more strangers in Cen
tralia on Friday than there were il
either Belleyille or Cairo though The
cities competing for the 1910 meet
did not bring all told half as many
as were taken to either of the Other
icities by Centraia. There was not rs
large attendance of members here as
at the other cities, and this is some
what difficult to explain. The vo
ION the place for the next meeting was
lower here than at either Cairo OF
Belleyille.
"Centralia has shown its ability tC
care for large crowds in an entirely
satisfactory maner. The city has beer
given an advertisement that is vel
worth all it cost Centralia has made
the TWO best fights ever put up for the
IIustlers and has entertained them
better than they have ever been ell
tcrtained. That ought to satisfy any

on Heavy Southwest
Business.


Springfield several days ago, stating
that the C. & T. officials have asked
to be permitted to withdraw their
pc ition for right to reach the Thebes
bridge on a certain line, and stating
reach the bride at the common june
tion point seems to indicate that the
promoters of the enterprise have
| finally decided not to antagoniZe the
railroads which control the bridge by
trying to force crossing or ap-
proach that would be distasteful to
them. An amicable agreement has
therefore been reached as to the
crossing, and the costly piece of
grading between Santa Fe and
Thebes Will be abandoned.
This leaves the project in about the
condition that the local promoters
said ii would be in from he start,
lwith all the roads centering at
Thebes fayorably inclined toward it,;
and the point Of deepest interes now
is, which of them. if any, will utilize
| il for business. 1t seems to lie be-
tween the Frisco-Rock Island system
and the Gould system, and either
could use it profitably to itself and
benefcially to Cairo. Which ever
company gets the Cairo & Thebes
will get one of the finest terminal
properties in this section of the coun.
try-by far the most valuable in
Cairo, and with a cinch on the enor-
nous business which Cairo does in
| the southwest territory. The Gould
people control this business now
over the Cotton Belt and Iron Noun
| tain, and since the river transfer to
| Pirds Point has been interrupted are
hauling il via |. G. and c. & f. |. over
the Thebes bridge. If they acquired

| not have to pay tribute to other rail
roads as now, for the Cairo business.
was in good order there was little
lheason to believe that the Goulds
| would consider the Cairo & Thebes
land even now probably IL will depend
largely upon present and prospective
conditions at Birds Point whether or
not they will do so. They have a
great yard at Birds Point which they
would not abandon without good
reason. II is said the river has done
about all the cutting it Will do for
leo In Mint IA In
cline may now be put in with a rea-
|sonable certainty that it may be oper-
ated for years to come without dan
ger of being carried away by the
river. But the Cairo terminal would
be of value to them anyway 1t would
give them a direct line to St Louis
and Chicago, which ought to be worth
something.
The Frisco Rock Island also would
find the Cairo & Thebes a valuable
acquisition. It would give That system
a good chance at the heavy Cairo
business in the southwest. which
now is controlled by the Cotton Belt
and Iron Mountain, and would give
them also line from Cairo to st.
Louis hat would bring them bust
ness.
Neither of these systems would
come under the prohibitory clause in
the franchise ordinance which re
quires that the c. e. T. shall not
be sold to any railroad now entering
