and the report the local organization
will proceed Immediately to procure th,
outside capital necessary to construci
and put the line into operation, and il
is hoped that construction can be com

The American Traction and Power
Company's organization exists for the
purpose Of securing capital and doing
the construction after the preliminary
work has been done. The company
proposes to place the main offices Of
the company and the shops in this city
if the local response iustifies it.
Mr.. @. w. Williams, formerly with
the Mckinley traction lines, in Illinois,
will be in charge of the field work. w.
A. Calhoun, of Buffalo, is chief engi-

since Friday evening in the interest of
the Kentucky Southwestern Electric
Railway, Light & Power Company, left
for Louisville and indianapolis last even
ing, and will return here again We'd
nesday next. That he and his associ-
ates mean business was amply demon
strated by his work yesterday. In the
course of the morning, he met and
talked with number of prominent
business men and at noon it was an
nounced that H. C. Rhodes, of the
Rhodes s-Burfora Company, had agreed
to associate himself with the undertak-
ing and to accept the Office OF president
of the company, while r. II. Scott had
been made treasurer and John d. Smith
LOCAL ORGANIZATION.
All of this is in direct line with the
policy of myself and my associates, ?
said Mr. Wheaton yesterday. Our
object is to form strong local board of
directors and officers for the company,

ic Of square deal all the way through.
It is true we expect to place some stock |
n the territory, but we wish to scatter
t widely and in consequence will only
,lace between fifteen and twenty-fve@
thousand dollars worth Of this stock in
he entire territory covered by the pro-
ected lines, over 157 miles in length.

The Padueah News outlines the planl
of the Southwestern Kentucky ElectAc
Railway, which has been recently devel.
! oped by Northern capital in combina
ton with Paducah interests. As stated
two surveys will be made, one along the
Mississippi River to Hickman, the other
via Mayfiel6, Fulton and Union City tc
Hickman. The following was taken
from the News Democrat Of the Goth
ult.
Representing the Southwestern Ken
lucky Electric Railway Light and Pow
er Company, Mr.. Edward f. Wheaton,
Of Henderson, KY, is at the Palmer
House. Last night he was in confer
ence with local business men posted on
the interurban facilities of the surround
ing territory, and after the conference
stated that his company, which is sub
sidiary of the American Traction and
Power Company, of Indianapolis, was
prepared to finance an interurban line
running from Paducah through Graves
County, past Mayfield, to Fulton, Union
City, Tenn, and thence to Hickman, or
line from Paducah through the north
Of Ballard County, following the Missis-
sippi River bottom to Hickman. The
exact route to be followed will depend
on the report of engineers after making
a reconnaissance survey and CONNER
cial estimate. The development of the
territory adjacent to Paducah will fol-

RIGHT OF WAY TRANSFERRED.
Last night arrangements were per-
fected for a transfer Of the property
rights, and a general merger with the
Southwestern Company, of the Paducah
Southern Railroad Company's right-of-
way to Mayfield, which is now owned
jointly by the B. H. Scott estate, ]. f.
Harth, H. II. Loving and George Rush.
A local organization will be perfected
here by Messrs. Wheaton and Robert
Scott, and company formed which
will be composed of local stockholders
and directors. The money received as
for stock will he dishurspd nv |
this local board, which, besides Padu-
cah people, will number among its
stockholders from other towns
tapped by the road.
THE PLAN.
The costs of the survey and the COM
nercial report will be betrayed by local
This money will be de-
,osited in local bank. The survey
md the report will cost approximately
$50 the mile, and this sum will be Sc
ured in Paducah.
During the past several days corps

ection and have made rough report
ased on general observations. This
eport shows favorable conditions as

of the headquarters and shops. The loca-
ton of the power house depends upon the
recommendation Of Major Calhoun, the
engineer, who will be here soon to COM
mence the work of making our COM
mercial report and reconnaissance sur
vey, including the estimates OF the cost
of construction and equipment, and
the estimated net income.
DEFRAY FIRST COSTS.
The purpose of the local subscrip-
ton Of fifteen to twenty-five thousand
dollars is to defray the cost Of this pre-
liminary engineering work, securing
right-of-way, franchises, terminal sites,
etc. My associates will contribute their
portion to this fund also, and this money
will 60 right into the local bank and be
used together with the local funds raised
by stock subscription, under direction
of the local board
We hope and expect to make this
commercial report before winter sets in.
When this is in hand we shall devote
the fall, winter and early spring to se-
curing the large funds necessary to
build, equip and put the road into oper-
alton. Construction will be commenced
in the spring and carried on with expe-
dition and dispatch and we will have
the road in operation just as quickly as
It can possibly be done.
Offices will be opened in the City
Bank building in few days
md subscription taking will be COM
menced. Every town or community
where stock is subscribed will be repre-
'ented on the board OF directors, as we'll
IS the outside interests, which will be
by f. F. Wheaton, H. P.
Dew, of Columbus, s. c., and possibly
j. E. Bruce, of Indianapolis.
At rough estimate, the cost OF the
,ntire project will be about So, O00, 900,
md the expenditure of even a portion
If this amount in this section will great

ng of the permanent benefit derived
rom the operation of the road.

hair singed and faces blistered,
Mrs Laura S. Eddy and Miss Mar,
garet Hammers, arrived at their
homes here today after a wild auto
ride through avenues of burning
trees in San Bernadlnc forest fires.
The two women waited at Pine

then cranked up the a and ran
straight through the fire. Once she
stopped to pick up a woman, a man

automobile ran between rows of
burning trees. The passengers tied
water soaked sacks over their heads
for protection against the heat.
