MAY USE SAME TRACK
Burlington and M. & St. L. Said to
be Planning Something New.

The Brighton Enterprise says:
There is something brewing In rail-
road circles, but it seems hard to get
at what 1t means. 1t is well known
that the c. B. G @. and the NJ. & st.
L. (1owa CentraD roads run parallel
between Winfield and Oskaloosa and
that they cross each other at least six
times in that distance of 20 miles. A
new law requires that an interlocking
switch must be placed at every rail-
road crossing. The equipments cost
about 81 900 each to install and 1t re-
quires three men in eight-hour shifts
to run one of them. To avoid all this
bother, roads will run their trains
over the same tracks at least tempo
rarily after January LIST. The talk is
that the %" track from Winfield to
Coppock will be abandoned and the
Iowa Central abandoned from that
point to Martinsburg, while from
there into Oskaloosa the Iowa Cen
trail track will be used. This single
line takes in all the important towns
except Richland and Ollie and a plug
line will be run over the old Central
track to accommodate those two
towns. Union stations will be built
at Brighton, Hedrick, Martinsburg and
Fremont, where the two roads meet.
/ This arrangement necessitates the
handling Of all the trains of the two
companies over the one single track,
and will probaly not be permanent
thing.
When these two roads were built
through here thirty years ago, fight
! ing over the right-of-way and wreck
ing each others track and crossing
each others lines, everybody knew
that they We're making trouble that
would have to be adjusted later. Dur
! ing those exciting times each COM
pany had 100 men on the CoppoCk
bottom for two days trying to hold pos
session of the grade. Long heavy
poles were used as battering rams to
rush the men and only a hurry-up in
junction prevented a pitched battle,
as the men gradually warmed up. In
! Brighton trains of empty box cars
were overturned to block the rival
roads, and midnight raids on one side
or the other were OF frequent occur
renee. After the Central had its
track laid at the crossing at the west
ern edge of town, the other side stole
march on it that night and turned
over a section of this track and laid
| its own in its place, leaving a guard
to hold it down. Now after thirty
years somebody has to pay for all
| his monkey work.

day. They came and they went at all
hours of the morning aud the after.

FERRY COMPANY WINS
SQUABBLE WITH SARNIA

PORT HURON. Mich. Aug. "a
The deadlock which has existed here
between the Port Huron and Sarnia
Ferry Co.'S officials and the council
OF Sarnia will end Saturday morn
ing. This was the announcement
made today by officials OF the ferry
company.
As result of the strained rela-
lions between these TWO parties,
which have existed since Monday
morning, last, Sarnia loses practical
ly all Of its former rights In regards
to the operating OF the boats while
the ferry company makes a great
gain. Heretofore the company has
issued ten for u quarter tickets 10
workingmen, good at certain times
OF the day; also. eight for a quarter
tickets good at any time.
In the future, straight fve-cent
fares will be charged everybody up
TO 9:20 o'clock at night, after which
time the fare will be ten cents. A
license fee Of $3.50 each year has
always been paid to Sarnia by the
ferry company. This will now be
abolished and The ferry company will
only be obliged to pay a small clear
ance fee each time their boats land
at the Canadian dock. Each boat
will enter and clear out OF Sarnia as
freight and passenger steamers.
