tests the boundary of the Western

SOME MORE RAILROAD NEWS
oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company May Build Branch
Line From Pullman.

me story of the proposed new
cut-oH between Pullman and Hoo
per, which is being resurveyed nv
northern Pacific engineers, has
awakened much interest in RAILROAD
circles. and the o. r. & N. has "sat
up and taken notice" When The
Herald reached Portland headouar-
ters or the o. r. & N. the matter
aroused much interest and Mr..
broWnell, local agent of that road
at FuIlman, was called upon for all
the information he could give in re-
cara 10 the matter. Other agents at
other points were Intercepted and
enough facts were learned to con
vince the o. R. & N. people that
something is likely to happen. and
the territory of that road is likely
TO De invaded. A surveying party was
sent from Portland to La Crosse
headquarters of the Northern Pacific
engineers, and the men have gone
TO work to survey line toward Pull
man. The following story of their
actions is taken from the La Crosse
Clipper:
More Railroad Gossip.
Ihat representatives of some rail
road company are out eXaming stakes
and viewing rights of way in this
vicinity is fact, that such railroad is
70 be built down either valley is Cos
sip. These railroad men have the !iv-
cry men trained to perfection, how
ever, and when one of them is ap-
preached for information he is as 81
lent as an owl and looks wise. One
Of them over near Wilcox inadvert-
antly admitted to friend that he was
going to have a road, and a railroad
right past his house AS he was even
then on a trip with a railroad man
who was examining stakes of an OLD
right of way, he may have known
liking about.
John Neiertz, the liveryman, and c.
H. Stewart, a Spokane railroad engi-
neer, were out during the week driv-
ing over to Benge on the S. p. & S.
road, viewing the right of way Mr..
Neiertz isn't saying anything but he
believes some road will be built.
Wednesday morning there arrived
on the Flyer from Portland "a crew
of Is surveyors, undoubtedly belong
ing to the O. R. & n railroad COM
pany, unloaded their bags and bag
gage, accOutrements, foodstuffs
tents. etc, at the La Crosse depot
proceeded to get busy. That
there is something in the hurried
manner in which this sudden influx
of surveyors are getting down to
business would suggest that it is
move on the part of the o. R. & N.
to forestall the other road, which
has now a crew of men on a survey
headed for La Crosse. 1t seems that
the survey is on the long proposed
line from La Crosse to Pullman. The
base of supplies of the new crew is

POsTOFFICE AT CUTHBERT, GA, IS
 ROBBED.
Cash and Stamps To the Amount Of About Twelve Hundred Dol- lars Were Taken By the Burglars.

Eufaula. Feb. 2s.-(Special )-The @ postoffice safe at Cuthbert, Ga, was blown open by robbers last night and was completely rified of it's contents.
 It could not be learned as to the exact amount that was secured but it Is known that cash funds and stamps that are missing will run in the neigh borhood of twelve hundred dollars.
 Up to this hour no clue whatever as To who the thieves are has been gain ed but it is believed from the manner in which the explosion was perfected and their escape of detection, that 1t Is some white gang who have previously operated in this section and perhaps the same that effected the explosion of the postofiice safe here some time ago and nave never been run upon. So com- plete was their work that not a single postage stamp was left and the officials there were forced to telegraph for a limited supply from this city this morning.
 Information of the marriage of Miss Lut1e Harrell. who resides six miles south of the city to MT. George John son. of Rocky Mount, near Clayton. was received here today. The wedding was solemnized at the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. c. B.. Harren Friday afternoon in the pres ence of a large gathering of relatives and friends a large party of whom ac- companied the groom Rev. R. B. Lee off1ciated and an elaborate luncheon was enjoyed. The groom Is a son of John R. Johnson. one of the most pros porous farmers of that section, and is young man who is largely engaged In agricultural pursuits. The bride IS quite pretty and popular and has scores of warm friends wherever she Is known.
 The many friends of Mir. c. c. Skill Aan will be glad to know that he is :apidly improving from the affliction Of having his arm amputated and was able to walk down to his place of busi- ness yesterday afternoon. His attend Ing physicians believe that all evil dences of blood poison have disappear ed since the operation was performed and he will soon regain his accustom- dhealth and strength.

MCNEIL IN THE CITY SAFE BLOWN OPEN
NEW PRIVATE SECRETARY TO THE
 GOVERNOR HERE.
Jennings J. Pearce. Formerly a Citi- zen of Montgomery, Succeeds MT. McNeel as Circuit Court
 Clerk in Talladega.

James D. McNeel. of Talladega, re- gently appointed private secretary to Governor Conner. to succeed Hon. W. E. Fort. appointed senior judge of the Criminal Court of Birmingham, arrived in Montgomery last night, that he might take active charge of his new du- ties on Monday.
 Governor Conner will be absent from his office for the greater part of the week, and the many small details of routine will fall to the care of MT. Nc Neel and Recording Secretary Nunnal- lee.
 When seen at the Exchange Hotel last night. Mir. McNeel stated that he would move to Montgomery with his family. just as soon as all the neces- sary arrangements could be completed at Talladega and Montgomery.
 He states that Jennings J. Pierce. formerly a citizen of Montgomery. but for the last eight years a citizen Of Talladega, had been appointed Clerk or the City and Circuit Courts. Judge c. K. Miller making the appointment. i'm mediately after MT. McNeel handed In his resignation.
 The fact that McNeel and Judge Fort are moving their families. the one from Talladega to Montgomery. and the other from Montgomery back 10 Birh- ingham, would seem to affirm the gos- sip. that the retirement of Judge Dan tel Greene from the Birmingham pehch is to be a permanent thing.

At the neeting of the City Council en1aoht. 1t is expected that measures W1u - taken to stop any Aldermanic e6t9oA on the immediate issuing of the lseely authorized bonds. Some of the Aldermen are more or less annoyed by the activity shown in some quarter by persons interested in the various bond 1Douee. One of the Aldermen. in speak lng of the matter, said:
 Borrowing . quarter of a million AollAra. just after National panic, is . natter that must be gone about caro- ful1y: we cannot get a financial in- e11eotion and say to the clerk: Hand |Out the money. we have the bonds here Co secure it.; the bonds must be care- fully scrutinised by disinterested par |tfoAv and not only the bonds must be |seAEehsd for possible errors. but the 'legiUfAtive measures ordering the is- any Arst class concern will accept the promiesory paper"

Ire captain and one of the aldermen reported, many cases of violations of the ordinance. and many persons were arrested on the charge These prison CTS were allowed to 90 pending the action of the council on the matter and their cases are still open on the po- lice court docket. The aldermen want to know what the final outcome of the matter will be and expect the re- port from the fire committee to- night.
 It is generally believed that the question of the city leasing the wharf to one of the boat companies, to bs exact. the Birmingham q Cuff Navi- gation Company, win be discussed to- night. The proposition of the boat company to pay an amount for the privilege of running the wharf. that will pay the interest on the bonds and retire the papers within ten years has several advocates among the council men. Some talk is expected before the matter Is finally settled.

 It will be remembered that MT. Jor- don was ambushed on the Morris Game Preserve, in the Tangipahoa Parish last Wednesday afternoon, his fellow game wardens. discovering the body late at night.

Appearance of Buds and Blossoms
 IS Evidence of Early Fruit Crop

Fearful of thwarting of their desires the fruit lovers of the South watch the weather and its indications anx- iousiy. For a cold wave will prove fatal.
 Everywhere the fruit trees. especial ly those of the less cultured variety. ahe responding to the abnormal warmth of the 1909 winter. with tender buds In some instances blooms have ap- peared.
 All we'll and good if the warmth con- tinues. for the unreasonable horescence then means an early crop of fruit. But if the weather changes for somethin 6 colder. if a freeze or a heavy frost strikes. then goodbye to thed reams of plenteous fruit, for the early buds and leaves are not of such hardihood as to withstand an advent of biting cold.

And with their hearts in their watering mouths the gourmonds of peaches and plums and strawberries and all the rest of the dainty growth of Alabama await. A frost will be a calamity; a freeze will take the na- ture of a catastrophe.
 There is every promise of heavy crop and an early one this year, If only warmth continues: there Is every pros- pect of a great destruction If the mild- ness succumbs to an onslaught of chill. The trees look good in their first flush of pink or white blooms, and the light green of the new leaves swells the hearts of everyone. whether he dotes on the luscious fruit, or whether the taste is repulslve t. him.
