B. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
IS NOW COMPLETED
Final Work of the New Line Between
Philadelphia and Baltimore
Finished Sunday.

With the floating into position yes
terday of the electrically operated
draw span in the new steel bridge
across the Schuylkill river, the recon
struction of the Baltimore AMI Ohio
Railroad between Philadelphia and
Baltimore, a work started some three
years ago. and upon which nearly So
600 900, or an average of about $4,000
a mile for the entire division, has
been expended will be virtually COM
pleted.
This rebuilding and Improvement of
piece of double-track railroad 90
miles long, which was of standard
construction when originally laid out
% years ago, has been done to enable
its fast passenger trains on any time
schedule which the Pennsylvania Rail
road may see fit to establish, and also
to reduce the cost OF handling freight
traffic.
Most of the work done has been in
replacement of all the bridges and cul
verts with new structures capable of
carrying with safety the heavy trains
which the new Mikado, type locomo-
tives. weighing about 200 tons with
their loaded tenders, are TO haul. Up
on such replacement of bridges on its
Philadelphia division, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has expended close
to s4000.000
The great double. track steel bridge
across the Susquehanna river at
Havre de Grace, rep acing light sin
gle-track structure, alone cost $4,000
COO. 1t was put in use last January.
This bridge is 500 ct long and
nearly 200 feet clear of he water 1t
contains about $1,000 tons of steel
and has a main span of 500 feet
across the deep water channel in the
west branch of the river, which is
there split by Watson's Island.
The west channel bridge is $500
feet long, that over the east channel
is $500 feet. and between them is a
viaduct 1000 feet long across the
island. Piers in the west river chan
mel had to be sunk by pneumatic pro
cess to rock bottom 20 fest be ow the
water surface.
At the west end of the bridge a
double-curve in the old line is being
eliminated, This requires a big cut
from which 100000 yards of rock and
dirt have been excayated and the con
struction Of 70-foot stone arch
bridge over turnpike. Cost of this
work, which is approaching compile
ton, will be s250,000.

AFTER IMMIGRANTS
TO SETTLE IN VIVA.
Six Million Acres of Untitled Land in
State Available For Them
Food Cost $4,000 900.

West Virginia has six million
acres of available agricultural lands
which are not titled and which would
produce every dollars worth of sup
plies needed within the state il they
were farmed,' said John Rennard.
of Wheeling, representative of the
state board of trade, when questioned
as to the reason for his visit TO the
immigration bureau at Washington,
d. c., made last week IF we had
the people in the state we could farm
this land and the $3S,000,Ca) which
was spent last year with oth r states
fer foodstuffs would be kept within
the state and very shortly we would
be selling to others instear Of our
se,ves buying from them.
Mr.. Rennard stated that the visit
to the immigration bureau was in the
execution of the plan, adopted at the
last meeting of the state board of
trade. for the bringing of people into
West Virginia. There is room in the
state for large numbers of farmers
and laborers. It is to the incoming
foreign element which. is making
must look to recruit its population.
Within the next ten years the popula-
ton should increase at even a greater
rate than during the past decade,
when an increase of 81 per cent, Was
experienced.
n limo with ba IaNnlnrpanDf of
West Virginia an organization, con-
Quoted in connection with the state
board of trade, has been perfected,
known as the commission of labor. 1t
is composed of the governor, the
chief of the bureau of mines and the
president OF the state board of trade.
The bureau is to be maintained for
the purpose of compiling statistics
and the dissemination of general in
formation regarding the advantages
CT West Virginia as a state in which
to locate business and invest capital.
The state, above al, needs more
capital invested within its borders.
Capital will attract labor, but beyond
the class of labor employed in mills
and mines there is a need for farm
ers. Men who will 60 out and till the
soil or who will themselves take land
and develop 1t are greatly needed, as
or them the state will depend for the
development of the farming lands
which are yet available and which
should be utilized to make West Vir-
oIrpinia ce1f-feeding
One feature i'm connection with the
solicitation of immi grants to settle
here is the effort which will fbe
made to assure all newcomers of abso-
lutte protection from all fake banking
institutions. Fred Fox, OF the Secur-
ity Trust company of Wheeling, who
has charge of the foreign department
Of the institution, is directing this.
He is now preparing literature print
ed in GI.abaf of lang ages, furnish
ing information regarding the bank
irg institutions of the state for the
use of foreigners The literature
will contain instructions as to the
best method of inve sting savings and
will also warn against the unscrupu-
l0us persons who in the past have
preyed upon the gulibility of the new
arrivals. Through this it is hoped
to stop the return of the large sums
OF money Which annually go back to
the old Countries and to get the for
eigners to invest their savings in this
country.

st. Louis College Nine Would Make

Gleason Selects Nine. T

II the Columbia boys can only play
half of the baseball games that are
being spoken OF in connection with
them, they will have their hands
full for certainty. The Honolulu
combined schools want to play the
Coast lads, and Henry Chillingworth
has selected team of swatters that
would make the mainlaiders extend
themselves to win. F
Then Sergeant Barry, who is feel
ing little better this morning, after
having been down in the dumps over
the defeat of his Beauts by the fleet

Now this morning, Pat Gleason ap-
pears on the scene and announces
the fact that he will select a st.
Louis College nine that will play
the Columbia boys or any kind Of
boys. And. on paper, It would seem
that the nine gotten together by Pat
is very strong one and one that It
would take good team to beat.
According to Gleason's lineup, Eh-
pinda and Markham would form the
battery for the college, and the
King Of SPAIN" as Espinda is cali
ed, is too well known as a pitcher
to need any comment on his ability
to shoot them over the plate.

well-known school player, and his
good work has often been admired
by the fans at the Athletic and Aala,

The st. Louis schoolboys are a fipe
lot Of swatters, and match between
them and the Columbia boys would
be Worth going miles to see. The
visitors are still In Quarantine, and
will not be released till February II.
They will remain for a week In Ho-
nolulu, and probably will leave for
the Coast on the Alameda, which
sails on February 20.
