by the public that the controversy

1912 would be speedily settled. But
such is not the case, however. At
the opening OF the trial Judge

@. AND o. MAY BUY
SHELBY CREEK ROAD.

Information has reached here OF
the intention of the C. and o. to
absorb the new Shelby creek rail-
road now owned by the B. and o..
The fact that approximately 1,OoO,-
900 tons of coal are hauled from
the jenkins mines each year over
this road to the c. and o. junction
at the mouth of Shelby, where it
is hauled from thence by the c. &
o. to market, makes it very yalu-
able acquisition for the latter com
pany, while its isolation from the
B. and o., the nearest point of
which is more than 100 miles
away, renders it of very little prac-
teal value to its present owner.

CONSOLIDATION PLANS
BIG POWER SUPPLY.

Several Eastern Kentucky towns
are to be furnished with electric
current for lighting and power pur-
poses from the two immense power
stations of the Consolidation Coal
company at Van Lear and jenkins,
according to plan now being act
ed upon. The company is now con-
structing a long-distance power line
connection of So miles length via
Beaver creek between the two pow
er stations, which will make 1t pos
sible for one plant to supply cur
rent to the other in the event OF
break downs, and from this several
branches will feed towns along the
route.
The Pike Light & Power COM
pany has entered into contract
with the company, under which a
branch from the main line will be
taken off on Beaver and run to
Pikeville over distance of twelve
miles, and from this current is to
be supplied to Pikeville for lighting
and power purposes. The arrange
ment will be complete, according to
the company's engineers, by Dec. l,
and the city will be supplied with
current by day, as well as by night.
The new current will be furnished
to Pikeville consumers at 10 per
cent. reduction from present prices,
and the power station now in use
here will be closed to give place
to a distributing sub-station.
AT present, Paintsville is being
supplied with current for lighting
from the Van Lear plant, miles
away, and Whitesburg will at an
early date receive the same service
from jenkins. McRoberts and other
small mining settlements near Jenk-
ms are now supplied from the Jenk-
ms plant, and line will be built
down Elkhorn creek to supply pow
er for mining and lighting purposes
to Elkhorn city, Marrowbone and
Shelby creeks The Beaver creek
line will supply Watsontown, Weeks
burg and Prestonsburg on its way
down the creek. Auxier and many
other mining towns will also be in
cluded in the arrangement.
Still further expansion of the
plan will be undertaken by the
company as soon as the present
plan is completed, and in order to
meet the demand the enormous
plant at jenkins will have its
strength increased by the addition
of three extra generators at once,
which will raise the total strength
from 5000 kilowats to $4,000, at
10000 volts pressure.

SANTIAGO HERO TO
VISIT PIKEVILLE.

Pikeyille college, by the aid of
several of the city's business men,
has secured lecture program from
the Coyt Lyceum Bureau consist
ing of five numbers, for the bene-
tit of the general public, as well as
the school. The first number l.
billed for Oct. 23,- and the other
four are to follow successfully 80
days apart. 1t has been announced
by the Bureau that Lieut. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, hero of the
attempt to bottle up the Spanish
fleet in the harbor, at Santiago will
make his appearance here in Feb
ruary to tell of his daring adven-
ture in his own words.
1t will be remembered that, act
ing under orders, when he learned
that the Spanish fleet under admir-
able Cervera had entered the har-
Dor he ran the Merrimac into the
channel that connects the harbor
with the open sea and sank her
across-channel, and then swan to
the Spanish flagship Christobal
Colon, not knowing whether death
or imprisonment awaited him there.
Happily the latter, and he spent
several days in MORO Castle. On
his arrival in New York harbor af-
ter his release he was greeted with
fusillade of kisses by the ladies
of New York.
