HOW CAPTAIN WEEOEN
LANDED PASSENGERS

''Snub her up to the cattle pen so
these passengers can go home,' shout
ed Captain Weeden from the bridge of
his good ship Lurline, Sunday morn
ing, as the steamer crept into the har-
Dor and nosed her way up to the Rail
road wharf
And the passengers, including United
States District Attorney Breckons, Mar
shall Hendry, John Scott, and John I.
Moir, who were just arriving in from
the Big Island, looked at one another
in establishment and wondered if they
had heard Alright. But Captain Weeden,
busily trying to keep his boat from be-
ing pinched between a vessel of war
and the Railroad wharf, didn t realize
until he was told later just what it
was that he had said He denies that
he had any intention of insinuating
that his passengers were cattle.

Tenney Enthusiastic.
E. D. Tenney, president of Castle
& Cooke, is now on the mainland,
having gone East to Newport News to
be present at the launching of the new
Matson steamer Wilhelmina which was
christened by his daughter, Miss vii
helmina Tenney. It is known that Mr..
Tenney is enthusiastic over the pros
poets of the Matson line and that he
is also in favor of such development
as will put the Matson line in a posi-
ton to take care of the constantly in
creasing passenger BUSINESS. As to
freights it is expected that the loyal
backing which island corporations have
given the company will be just as
strong as ever and that increased bust
ness will result when island capital IS
put up to build the new steamer
1t is understood that Mr.. Cooke is
quite as enthusiastic as any one over
the new proposition and that he would
be perfectly willing to see plans and
specifications within a very short time,
and even to learn that contract for
building the big boat would be let in
even the next two or four months.

The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1909-07-25

Last week there was gent from
the city in this vicinity considering
the feezability of building a street
car trolley line from the co. seat
to Hardscrabble. His name was
Mister Owen and he is said to be
a man of great wealth. He was in
Bingville part of one day in COM
pany with George Brown, one of
the most respeckted and inflooen-
shial citizens of the co. seat, who
interdooced him to many of our
most enterprising citizens, mcleod
ing ourself.
Mr.. Owen stated in an interview
with us that it was quite likely that
| if he bilt a streetcar line from the
CO. seat to Hardscrabble that it
would go through Bingville, per-
viding right of way for the track
could be secured from our citizens
at reasonable rates. He stated that
it would be a great thing for Bing-
vile folks to step on car and ride
to the co. seat for 10 cts. in 40
minutes instid of driving behint a
horse and taking two hours in
summer and mebby five hours in
winter when the mud is hub deep
or the snow drifted so that person
has to get outen the pung and
shovel a road before he can git
Through.
In our opinion Mr.. Owen is
right when he says that a street
car line through Our midst would
be a great thing for the town.
Other progressive cities have st.
car lines, and why shouldn't we
Espeshially if Hardscrabble has a
st. car line that is suffishent rea-
son why Bingville should have one.
Are we going to permit the push
luminous and one-horse town of
Hardscrabble to have a st. car line
and us not have one? We should
say not.
Sinst Mr.. Owen visited Bing-
vile the coming st. car line has
been the talk of the town. Every
night this new projeckt is vilently
discussed pro and con down to Hen
Weathersby's store, where our most
repseckted citizens gathers eggs
for sochial intercourse and to
smoke and chew tobacker.
Unless some of them as lives
along the line of the proposed
streetcar line are willing to come
down on the price of their land.
however, we have Our doubts if the
st. car line will ever go through our
midst.
