July. The new road runs through a
strip of country that will furnish
great amount of timber traffic besides
produce of every description. There
has been no road through this section
OF the country, and it has been re-
tarded to a certain extent 1t is now
on the eve of rapid advancement.
The new road viii connect with the
main line of the Cotton Belt here, US
ing the same passenger station until
new one can be built. terminal
yard has been laid out here, and a
freight station is practically completed.
It will connect with the Hot Springs
branch of the Rock Island at a point
near Malvern. Heavy inducements
were made to the Rock Island to Sc
cure the branch. The city of Camden
donated the ground for the yards and
stations. in addition to a large sum of
money, while the little towns along the
line donated smaller sums and station
sites. The country expects to reap a
great reward from this bread upon the
water, feeling that railroad is cheap
at any price.

Complete Two Lines of Rails Ocean

Winnipeg, Man., July 2.-That the
Canadian Pacific is going ahead with a
determination to double track it's entire
system is indicated in awarding a con-
tract for building a double track five
mile tunnel through the Selkirk Noun
tain nearly 500 feet below the tracks of
the present main line through Rogers
Pass. Never before has the Canadian
Pacific been rushing work so strenu-
ously as now, and the management
declares it's plan to have the main line
double-tracked from ocean to ocean as
soon as the Panama Canal is fully
equipped for business. By that time
the Canadian Pacific will have a sec
ond through line from Montreal to
Vancouver. This line will run through
Toronto and the 500 and thence
through the Kootenays and Okana gan
to Vancouver. In addition to it's i'm
mense construction in extensions and
double tracks, the company's terminal
improvements are on a gigantic scale.
There have been invested in terminals
in Montreal within the last few years
$4,000. 900. This fall will see the COM
pletion of the Canadian Pacific south

NEBRASKA FEARS A SHORTAGE.
Railway Officials Tear Equipment
VIII Be Scarce for Grain.

Lincoln, Neb.. July 2.-'Look out for
strenuous demand for grain cars
when threshing begins. The movement
will be heavy early and they will be
needed from the start
That is the prediction of a Nebraska
railway operating official. He fore
sees SOM trouble to provide equip
ment for the movement.
A few weeks ago, while the rem
nant of the old crop was being moved,
and at a time when other business was
not rushing, there was some complaint
about cars, although there was nothing
approaching a real famine. Some are
afraid that the real article in the line
within the next sixty days.
THE railroads have been buying
equipment and have been keeping what
they have in good shape for this
emergency" says this same official,
but the fact is that the business of
this part of the west is growing faster
than the railroads. The railroads, with
the money stringency finds it difficult
to keep the pace.
I'm some respects, however, the
roads are in better shape than they
have been in other years. They have
more motive power, more trackage at
terminals, and can move the trains
with greater average mileage than in
the old days. The car famine may
come, but it may prove a blessing for
the farmer. 1t may prevent a glut of
the market"

as compared with the earnings of the
same roads for the corresponding
period last year. With the exception
of January, this is the most favorable
exhibit made for the first two weeks
in any month this year. Denver &
Rio Grande and International Great
Northern report some contraction in
earnings, but, aside from these, the
returns from practically every leading
system show more or less gain over
last year. In the west and southwest,
Missouri Pacific, Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, Texas & Pacific and several
other important roads continue to
make increases, while in the south
Louisville & Nashville, Mobile & Ohio,
Chesa peake & Ohio and Southern are
among those upon which good gains
appear. In the following table are

Santa Fe Built a Station Without
Waiting Room for Negroes.

Blackwell, Ok. July 2.-The building
of a new railroad depot at this place
by the Santa Fe Railroad company
has raised a novel question Under
Oklahoma's Jim Crow laws there
must be separate depot waiting rooms
for negroes as well as separate coaches
for their transportation There are
comparatively few negroes in this part
of the state If a waiting room for ne
groes were not built, there would be
enough space for a large general wait
ing room. Blackwell favors the latter
plan. and has submitted the question
to the chairman of the State Corpora
ton Commission, J. E. Love, who has
indicated that if the plan is satisfac-
tory to the citizens of Blackwell
there might be no objection by the
commission.

WAGON AND MINE
ENGINE TOPpLE OVER

Christmas day. while trans-
porting the engine for the
Chloride Canyon Mining Co.,
from the station to the mine, the
wagon on which the engine was
loaded toppled over and both the
engine and the wagon fell down
an embankment.
A dugway had been prepared
for reaching the mine and the
heavy weight Of the engine
caused the wagon to skid. Be-
fore anything could be done to
prevent it, the engine was be-
meath and the wagon on top on
the hillside. The driver had a
narrow escape from being crush
ed, but aside from some minor
damages to the engine, nothing
serious resulted.
Help was secured as soon as
possible and the machinery
should soon be installed and ready
for use in the near future, which
will be good news to the stock
holders of the company and also
the public, who are interested in
seeing the property worked to
the best advantage.
