from Winston-Salem to Roanoke
twenty years ago, it was reported to
connect with the South. The work
was not undertaken, however, until
1907, and the panic came along and
postponed it two more years.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Col. +. II. Fries of
Winston-Salem. brother to Mr.. II. F..
Fries. president of the Southbouni.
was the moving spirit behind the
Norfolk and Western. That road was
built almost entirely by Winston-Sa-
lem capital and the length was nearly
a hundred miles. Mr.. II. f. Fries,
the head Of the Southbound, has
never slept on his job. but has long
been at work on the. project. The
board Of trade of his home town will
celebrate the completion Of the road
and he will be shown in a measure
tho high regard in which he is held
by his own people.

NEW RAILROAD FOR SOUTH
CAROLINA.
SOuthbOund Railroad from Wades-
bOrO to WinstOn-Salcm Completed
by October 1-CharlcstOn to be
Outlet.

Columbia, Sept. 27.-Word comes
from Winston-Salem that the South
bound Railroad, which was expected
to be completed from Winston-Sa-
lem to Wadesboro by October /, will
not be ready for traffic until Decem-
ber l, and it will probably be Christ
mas before trains are operated ove-
the road
The Southbound will extend from
Winston-Salem to Wadesboro and
will there connect with the Atlantic
Coast Line for Florence and Charles
ton. At Winston-Salem the road will
connect with the Norfolk and West
ern Railway for Cincinnati and other
Northwestern points. The entire dis
tance of the new road is sixty miles.
Planned primarily for hauling coal
from West Virginia and feedstuffs
from the Northwest, the Winston Sa-
lem Southbound Railway will be a
splendid line. 1t is financed Jointly
by the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Norfolk and Western, the latter un-
der control Of the PENNSYLVANIA sys-
tenn and no expense or labor has been
spared to make their roadbed equal
to supporting any train of freight
or passengers. On direct line
from Charleston to the North
west, the Southbound will be-
come one of the great trunk lines
of the United States. Plans are al
Grady maturing for operating pass
enger trains depots are being built
along the road, and every little city
is taking on new life preparatory to
sharing in the prosperity that gem
orally accompanies new railroad.
From Roanoke to Charleston the
territory is rich in possibilities The
rich valleys of the Dan and Mayo
rivers in North Carolina have hereto
fore not been sufficiently encouraged
to make them yield bountiful crops
the manufacturing industries OF Win
ston-Salem have never had adequate
railway facilities and miles and miles
of fine wheat country in Davidson
county have been far removed from
railroad. The entire section from
Virginia to South Carolina has lacked
this one essential to a rapid and sub
stantial development AS Charleston
Will be the terminal much Of the
commerce of the interior points on
the line will be shipped from there to
various parts Of the world. In Sc
lecting Charleston as the port, the
directors had in mind the nearness OF
the city to Panama Canal, the depth
of the harbor and the strategic ad-
vantage Charleston holds as a sea-
port.
Although the Southbound was
launched IN August of last year such
road had been under contemplation
for several years; In fact, when the

COAST BUSINESS MAN
 TOURING TERRITORIES
He Is Also Visiting Relatives in
 Phoenix.

Seymour B. Goodman of Los Ange- les is in the city on a business trip, but is incidentally visiting the family of NJ Jacobs, being a nephew of MT. Jacobs and a cousin of Leon Jacobs, deputy clerk of the board of supervis- ors.
 MT Goodman is a member of the firm of Goodman & Kinstler dealers in cigars, both wholesale and retail. They have a wholesale house in. Los Ange- les and four retail houses also. He is touring this territory, New Mexico and Nevada in company with MT. Ad kins, who represents the firm, getting acquainted with patrons and seeking to extend the commercial interests of the house.
 Mir. Goodman is still a young man but he has had considerable eXperi- ence in the world and is possessed of good business head. He was form erly first lieutenant in the army and served in the Philippines until he got sick of a fever and resigned from the service. He returned to this country and went into business in san Fran cisco, where he lost everything he had in the big fire. Then he went to Los Angeles and started his present busi- ness, which seems to be a flourishing onp

HAS ANYBODY HERE
 SEEN ENRIQUE HY PAGE
Growing Suspicion That He May Be of
 the Walter WeIIman Party.

There is a growing suspicion among the attaches of the city ticket office of the Southern Pacific that Fly Page is either meeting with difficulty in ab- senting himself from the presence of the senoritas of Guaymas or has at tached himself to the Walter Wellman party in an attempt to cross the At lantic in a dirigible. Fly should have put in an appearance at the city ticket office ere this, to fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of F. J. Trethe- way to the office of travelling passen- ger agent of the Washington Sunset lines with headquarters at Los An geles.
 Not that the local ticket business of the Southern Pacific seems to be suf- fering either by the absence of MT. Tretheway (peace to his memorD, nor the failure of MT. Page to appear in the wake of MT. Tretheway, for the mantle of City Ticket Agent Tretheway fits very neatly upon the shoulders of the temporary incumbent, Andy Lin denfeld. who was MT. Tretheway's as sistant for several months
 Excepting to the initiated, there is nothing about MT. Lindenfelds handl- ing of the affairs of the office to dis tinguish him from one who has held the position since the beginning of railroading in the United States. He doles out the long slips with the air of a campaigner and never makes a miss in the tariff as prescribed by the inter state commerce commission.
 And when Hay Page finally makes his appearance ready to assume the duties of the office he once held, he will find everything just as shipshape as it was the day he went down into old Mexico to assume the position of agent for the Southern Pacific at Guaymas.

RELEGATES STANDAGE ID
 HONORARY MEMBERSHIP
Bachelors Club Takes Drastic Action in Case of Member Who Be-
 came a Benedict.

The recent marriage of Clarence Standage has resulted in bringing him into disrepute with the Bachelors Club of Phoenix, of which he had long been an active and conscientious member sworn to uphold the tenets of the club always considered sincere in his work for the good of the organization, he de- liberately abrogated his avowed ale glance to the club and became a bene- dict.
 When his desertion of the cause be- came known at a meeting of the Bache- lors' club Monday evening, he was i'm mediately stripped of his insignia of office of secretary of the club and otherwise degraded by being relegated to the position of honorary member. w. NJ Fickas, upon whom the club now pins it's hope, was elected to the office which MT. Standage had filled so very acceptably until his fall from grace.
 Incidentally the members of the club present at the meeting decided that winter dances would be held, it being the sense of the meeting that four of these superb social affairs would be about the right number The first dance will be held on Halloween, the second on New Years eve, the third on Washington's birthday and the fourth and last dance on St. Pat rick's day. All the dances will be held in the Arizona School of Music.

teams in the southern part of rhe ter ritory asking information relative to games during the fair. Most of the managers ask guarantees far beyond what it might be hoped to clear, even without the counter attractions which will be in Phoenix fair week. He has therefore been obliged to notify them in each instance that there will be nothing doing at that time.
 The latest letter is from Manager R P. Sharpe of the Florence team. While it is not likely that the Florence team will be brought here while the fair is in progress Manager Alvord will at tempt to arrange a game or two at some later date. He also is in com munication with the manager of the Ray team and that aggregation may be brought here in a week or two for a Saturday and Sunday series.
 On Sunday the Casa Grande team will be here, arriving upon the train due shortly after noon. An effort is being made to have the train stopped at the park in order that the players may lose no time in getting upon the diamond. Manager Kellner writes that the team has been practicing daily and that he expects to clean up the Jew els, just as the Jewels put the kibosh on the Pacific Gas & Electric company nine last Sunday.
 Sundays game will be for all there is in it and no alleged funny business will be tolerated. Every lover of clean baseball from the start to the finish has Manager AlvOrd's assurance that the best game of the season will be seen upon that occasion.
 Following is the lineup for the Casa Grande team: Y RedondO, first base; Kellner, second base; FOrbach, third base R. RedOndo, shortstop; Armente, pitcher; Lopez, catcher; Vasquez, left field; cruz, center field; P. Redondo, right field; Zalleg and White, substi- tutes.

SCHOOL BUSINESS
 RAPIDLY txPAnD|N6
Superintendent Fulton Has More Business on Hand Than a Jap anese Juggler With Five Plates
 in the Air.

County Superintendent A II. Full ton is doing his full part in keeping the money of the school fund in cir culation. During the first eighteen days of October he has issued school fund warrants amounting to S21,641.S1 or considerably more than a thousand dollars a day.
 The major part of the money has been paid for the salaries of school teachers, a little of it has been for
 buildings and the rest for the incl dental expenses of school mainte- nance. But that isn't all. The way the school system Of this county is developing is almost amazing. New buildings and improvements are being planned almost in every direction. Mir. Fulton says that the regular disburse- ment of funds for school expenses, together with the bond issues now in progress and that will probably be matured, will call for expenditure through his office of over half a mil lion dollars during the next fifteen months.
 The chief business of the superin- tendent is no longer what it used to be; the trotting around from one country school to another to see that everybody is doing his work. All that is expected of course and he likes to get out as much as he can and as often as he can but the cleri- cal work of the office has grown to such an extent that it keeps him busy looking after the financial end and keeping the books straight.
 tbprp iG much money going through the office now that a man has got to be honest whether he wants to be or not for if he wasn't honest he would certainly get his ac- counts tied up and get caught at 1t.

GREAT WASTE OF FUEL.

Housewives and factory owners of Baltimore are throwing in their ash cans every year the amazing sum of 7.668 tons of good fuel, according to statistics compiled by the department of street cleaning. Every year the ash carts of the department collect throughout the city 1sS.SS9 loads. It has heen computed that third of each load. or about HOO pounds of ashes, has the equivalent calorific coal. So much good fuel, indeed. re- mains. in these castaway ashes that often when the municipal ash dumps catch fire they have been known to burn steadily for months Figured an other way. the total number of loads of ashes collected amounts to 297,77S cubic yards.

NJ BASEBALL DURING
 TERRITORIAL FAIR
Manager Alvord Does Not Believe Morning Games Would Be
 Profitable.

It has been practically decided that there will be no baseball in Phoenix during the week of the territorial fair. Manager Bill Alvord of the Jewels has been in consultation with several mem bers of the baseball association for several days and the matter of holding morning games at Eastlake parg has been gone into thoroughly. It was thought it might be feasible to bring teams here from various parts of the territory and that games would bring out crowds of interested fans But the experience of former managers shows that morning baseball in Phoenix does not pay and consequently it has been decided not to attempt to hold any game while the counter attraction of the fair is going on.
 Manager Alvord is in receipt of sev- eral letters from managers of baseball
