cost, and then there is the valuable
equation of time-the loss of a year
under which the promoters and the
engineers must necessarily fret when
they reflect that they were within
sight of the end and saw the work OF
head and hand swept away like a
house OF cards.
But more serious, still, to the great
numbers of people who are interested
in seeing this gigantic work completed
is the question whether the extension
will be made complete and permanent
in the event of Mr.. FIagleT's death
The ravages of the recent storm is
said 20 have proved that all the earth
work on the keys will have to be COW
cred with cement in order to pre-
vent tropical hurricanes; the only
manner to combat them is to fOrtity
the work against their attacks. The
keys are washed from shore to shore
during these storms and the water Is
impOUnded by the entertainments OF
the railroad higher on one side than
on the oIneT. No greater damage is
done by the force of the storm itself
than by the seepage through the
earthwOrk which continues for days
and weeks after the storm. This nat
uraI process is said to be most de-
structive to the soIidity of the work
and would be q constant menace to
travel over the line. If this is true
the engineers in charge of the con
strUCJiOn are appraised of it and the
difficulty of building this novel line
becomes more apparent as the work
proceeds. 1t is readily seen that the
construction is in danger OF being de
layed longer and made more eXDen-
sivc as experience reveals the many
obstacles to be dealt with.
It may be taken as certain that
nothing short of total destruction Of
The line would deter Mr. F7agleT from
executing his plan of connecting Key
West with the mainland by rail; no
matter what the cost But there is
another side of the question which Of
faTs field for speculation, at least.
In order to complete the extension it
became necessary for Mr.. FlagleT to
bond his road to the extent Of ten
millions of dollars. There is reason
to believe that this is the first step
taken by J. PierpOnt Morgan. who
owns the Southern railway. TO add the
East Coast railroad TO his Southern
system The Florida East Coast rail-
way is mOTtgaged to Morgan & Co. for
ten millions. and George Perkins. who
is NOTgan's right-hand man, is now q
member of the board of directors of
the Florida East Coast railway. If
Mr.. FIagIer should died before the ex-
tension is completed is it likely that
the work viii be completed under
Morgan's direction. or viii Morgan &

FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILWAY
EXTENSION TO KEY WEST
GIVEN SETBACK OF A YEAR BY
HURRICANE.
The Miami Metropolis says:

lie VI ldliAA llFNA OlOAAo oclg
Reports that come from the Key
West extension of the Florida East
Coast railway are not encouraging.
The first brief statement given out by
the president of the company that
the property loss from the hurricane
was greater than it had ever been has
been supplemented here and there by
fragments of information which lead
to the conclusion that the completion
of the work has been seriously inter
fered with. Some whose judgment
may be considered competent are of
the opinion that the hurricane fur
nished the cause for a delay OF at
least a wear in seeing the enterprise
completed. Nearly all OF the floating
equipment was lost and will have to
be replaced before the work can be
resumed with the same aggresSiveness
and strength with which it was pro-
ceeding before the disaster of last
week. Il VIII require therefore no
little time-mauy months, perhaps
before the forces can be organized in
the same effective manner that they
were prior to the storm This viii
constitute the first delay: then the re-
placing of the damaged portion Of the
rOadbed and the trestles will take
time, which will constitute delay
number two After a lapse Of prob
ably no less than a year the work
will nave reached the stage that il
was three weeks ago. The loss 70
the railroad company is greater by far
than the value Of the equipment and
the track destroyed by the storm.
There is the cost of replacing il all
in the quickest possible time. which

Thomason in to pitch the first game.
Thomson has been sick for two
weeks, but Boles had him work in

poor control and hit three of the To-

good steady game and held the To-

with the exception of the eighth in

Topeka team TO score four runs.
Ashley pitched the second game
for Topeka and was easier if any
thing than Thomson had been:
Fourteen safe ones we're registered

ing them on the fifth rung of the West

tors in the Western League Marathon
have passed them, and the Bears are
cut of breath keeping up the pace.
The Western League season closes Sep
TENDER %. The Bears return to Dem
yer next Friday for a series of three
games each with Pueblo. Wichita and
Topeka. Generally speaking no money
has been made by the western League
magnates. The good baseball towns of
the circuit have had poor teams, and
the cities where the patronage has
been poor have the best players and
teams in the league. Des Moines, per-
haps the poorest baseball town in the
league, has a splendid team, one which
has been lighting a neck and neck race
with last years champions for first
place, and yet so meager has been the
rublic's support of the team that it
has been sold to st. Joe. / doubt very
seriously if the Denver club has made
much this year, but it is certain that
the club is not loser. When the sea-
son opened the prospect was exceeding
ly bright, but the lack OF good pitchers
left too mitch of a gap, and the Bears
have been losing SO regularly that the
occasion of victory would cause acute
OF the pericardium among
the local bugs.
