REORGANlzING WALSH ROADS
Chicago Clearing House Banks to Con.
troll Properties.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Plans for a finan-
cial reorganization of the railroads
owned by John r. Walsh, the convict
ed Chicago banker which will put the
Southern Indiana and the Chicago
Southern into the complete control of
the clearing house banks of the city,
are being worked out by representa-
tives of the banks and the protective
committee of the first mortgage bond
holders of the Southern Indiana.
New securities are to be exchanged
for present issues, it is announced,
and as soon as possible the roads will
be taken out of the receivership into
which they were thrown in August,
1908, when the interest on the bonds
defaulted.
The properties are to be operated
as an independent line until pur-
chaser is found who will pay a price
that will let the banks out on the
amounts they advanced to the Chicago
National bank, the Home Savings
bank and Equitable Trust company.
when these institutions were closed
in December, 1908.

RAIL MILEAGE IS GROWING
Record for 1909 Shows an Increase
over 1908.

Chicago, jan 3-Rairoads of the
United States during 1909 constructed
BATS miles of new main track, which
involved an expenditure of more than
$150,000, 900, according to records COM
piled by the Railroad Age Gazette
from official reports of the railways.
During the same period, 3,775 miles of
main track were equipped with block
signals.
This record of new mileage shows
an increase of nearly 800 miles over
1908, when 3,214 miles were built, and
is one indication of the return of pros
perity to the roads. The 1908 record,
however, was the lowest since 1904,
when 1882 miles were built. The best
of recent years, according to the Ga
zette's statistics, was in 1906, when
5,623 miles were built. In 1907 there
were 5,212 and in 1906 4,338.
The greater part of the new con-
struction in 1909, as in previous years,
was in the territory west of the Mis-
souri, river, and large part was on
the new transcontinental lines of the
Milwaukee's Puget Sound extension
and the Western Pacific.

NARROW ESCAPE

FALSE WORK SWEPT AWAY

Temporary Structure Used in Erecting
Sig Bridge Across the Mississippi at
st. Louis Is Destroyed, Causing a
Loss Of sc9c,occ in Material and La.
Dor, but Timely Warning Saves
Scores of Men Employed on the
Structure.
ST Louis, Jan 3-Work on the big
traction bridge across the Mississippi
will be suspended, it is announced, un
til the ice has gone out of the river
The decision follows an accident in
which more than 100 workmen had a
narrow escape from death and $500,
900 worth of material and labor was
thrown into the river.
The heavy tlmbers of the false work
between piers and 3, put ul
as scaffold from which the perma
nent structure was to be reared, was
crushed by the breaking of the ice
gorge
Seventy men were at work in the
false work itself and more than thirty
others were working over it,
The heavy timbers were snapped off
like matches by the weight of thou
sands of tons of ice and the false work
tottered and fell into the water and
was swept away down the river.
The false span was 400 feet In
length and on temporary track over
head was travelling crane, derrick
and number Of hosting engines. The
engineers watched the river and
whistled warning to the men, who
clambered hastily out from among the
tlmbers, some reaching the steel span
connecting with the shore, some run
ming across the ice to safety and some
being taken on tug which fought fol
long time the crushing weight of ice
before safety was assured

FORESTS YIELD LARGE SUM
Exports During 1908 Aggregated Nine
ty Million Dollars.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Our forests
contributed s90,000,000 to the exports
|of the United States during the fiscal
