Heavy Steel Laying About Com
pleted.

The Missouri Pacifc-Iror
Mountain has just about com.
pleted the laying of the heavy
90-pound steel rail authorized
under last years program of
track improvement on the svs-
tenn. A vast quantity of it has
been put on the main line
to Colorado and the West, in
Guiding one solid stretch of six
ty miles between Sedalia and
Pleasant Hill. The rail also
went on the main line of the
Kansas Division between Leeds,
Mo-, and Stilwell, Kansas. There
was another stretch laid on the
Omaha Division between Kan
sas City and Leavenworth. On
the main line to the South con-
siderably over 100 miles have
been relaid between Kimmswick
and Poplar Bluff on the Missouri
Division, and nearly as much on
the Arkansas Division between
Little Rock and Texarkana.
In order that the work of
bringing the track up to the
highest standard may continue,
President B. F. Bush has alrea-
dy authorized this year the pur-
chase of $4,000 additional tons
of 90-pound steel to be placed in
track. Of this amount, 10000
tons will be put on the main line
to the West, releasing 75-pound
rail between Ottawa and Coun-
Gil Grove, Kansas, and 1905
tons will go to the Omaha Divis-
ion between Atchison and Baker,
Kansas. The Omaha Division is
already a fine piece of track, al
most four thousand tons of hea-
Wy steel rail having been laid on
it during 1912. With the COM
pletion of the work planned for
1913 this stretch of the road will
be as fine as the best in the
country.
In anticipation of large crops
during 1913, the work of put
ting in the heavy rail will be
pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible, the management de-
string to have the roadbed in the
best possible condition. The old
rail taken out of the track is
sent to the mills and re-rolled in
to new steel and then relaid on
the minor branches of the road,
displacing old light rail.

Little Rock, April 17.-What
Secretary of State Earle W.
Hodges will do with the petition
asking for the reference to the
people of the statewide liquor
bill, No. 11S, is topic which
has many people wondering. He
states he will put the question to
Attorney General w. L. Moose,
when the petition is filed, and act
in accordance with his opinion.
About two years ago Attor-
ney General Norwood passed
upon a question much similar.
There was a stock law passed by
the legislature, which people of
Southwest Arkansas desired
submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie. The bill contained a spe-
cific date when it was to become
effective. Attorney General
Norwood held that the specific
date acted the same as an emer-
gency clause, and the matter
could not be referred. The IL
quor bill not only has an emer-
gency clause, but has a specific
date to become effective.

When a Man Is Ripe.

We ce,'l this the age of young
men.
But this age is not peculiar in
this respect. Every age has
had it's eminent young men.
The world cannot overlook Da-
vid, Alexander, Napoleon, Byron.
Nor can the world forget that
brilliant careers have generally
been brief. Meteoric flights are
short-lived. They may for the
moment cause the steady old
fixed stars topale in comparison,
but in the long run it is the fixed
stars that give light to the be-
nighted world.
Kipling once said that no man
is fit to write q novel until he is
forty. Up to that time, he ex-
planned, a mans human sympa-
thies are not sufficiently devel-
oped, his control of himself and
his grasp Of affairs are not suili-
GENTLY secure for him to COM
prehend and portray the deeper
forces of life.
Brilliant books come from
men under forty. But the books
that stay with us, as perpetual
source of inspiration and human
sympathy, are, nine times out of
ten, written by older men.
A Pittsburg financier has just
declared that of the 500 rich
men in America not so made
their fortunes before 40. He
said that there is an instructive
feeling among financiers that
the young man, however success
full he may have proved, and
however brilliant his proposed
scheme may be, is not to be i'm
plicitly trusted.
His character is not fully
made up. There may at any
moment develop some fatal flaw.
He is apt to fly to pieces. But
the man who has steadily pur-
sued paths of success until the
10th milestone has been passed
has a firm footing. He is a ripe
man. Of him are required nc
references.
Statistics show that over &C
per cent of American business
men fail. Most of the failures
are by young men. A little sue
cess has caused them to overes
innate their powers. They
grasp more than they can hold

Trolley to
Mountain.
Lookout
New
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April II.
Work is being pushed with all
possible speed on a new trolley
line to the top of Lookout Noun
tain in order that it may be rea-
dy for the Confederate reunion
May 27-29. This road is being
constructed at easy grade from
the foot to the summit of the
mountain, so that passengers
may board a car in the city of
Chattanooga and ride to the top
of Lookout without change. The
manager of the road, Mr.. W. p.
Boileau, promises that the new
road will be practically complet-
ed by the date of the reunion.
He is sure that it will be in oper-
alton to the historic Cravens
house, if not to the top of the
mountain.
When this road is completed
it will be one of the most pictur-
esque trolley lines in America.
The incline railway up Lookout
mountain is the heaviest grade
| in the world for an incline. APP
preaching the terminus of the
line on top of the mountain, the
grade is sixty-six per cent. The
cars are drawn by steel cables.
The power plant on top OF the
mountain is operated by electric
ity, the current being transmit
ed from the big electric power
plant on the Ocoee river thirty
miles east of Chattanooga. This
incline road is as safe as a mod
ern elevator in an up-to-date
skyscraper. No serious accident
has ever occurred on the road
during a service of more than
twenty-five years. The only
trouble with this road is that IN
case of a large crowd, like a re-
union assemblage, the capacity
is inadequate. The new trolley
line is intended to meet the de-
mand for larger carrying capac
ity. With it's completion, the
carrying capacity of the noun
tain roads will be practically un
limited.
No visitor to Chattanooga
should miss trip to Lookou
Mountain, as the view from 1T
heights is unequalled anywher'
in the country for scenic gran
deur.

Rueben G. Dye, State Land
Commissioner, who is chairman
of the Commission, will call a

the question of electing a road
