BRISTOL INTERESTED
IN NEW ELECTRIC LINE

Bristol. Virginia, Is aroused to the
Importance of the Carolina, Green
vile and Northern Railroad, the pro-
posed new electric line that Is knock
ing for Abundance. 1t is now fully
realized what it would mean to have
a link constructed that wc.,2 traverse
East Tennessee over new and large
ly unexplored route. connecting at the
same time with such important trunk
lines as the Norfolk and Western,
which IL would join in Bristol; the
Carolina, Clinchfield, which Ii would
cross at Kingsport, and the Louisville
and Nashville. which 1t would Join at
Knoxville. Tenn. Preferred stock in
the new line is being sold here as a
means of providing for the preiimin-
airy expense of surveying and iocat-
ing the line. procuring rights of way
and terminal properties.
Construction work is now in prog
ress on this road in Greene County,
Tennessee. and il Is proposed TO begin
construction on an extension from
from Kingsport to Bristol when the
preliminaries are worked out. 1t Is
proposed to operate the trains on this
road by electric engines of a powerful
type, making it the equal in strength
and efficiency of the lines already
electrified on the Norfolk and West
ern system.

S. A. L. EARNS 100000
AND MAKES PAYMENTS

The recent declaration by the Sea-
board Air Line Railway of the regl-
lar semi-annual liz per cent in
terest on adjustment in come" bonds
dissipated the uncertainty which mas
existed an TO whether or not the s. A.
l. was earning enough to warrant
continuance OF the payments.
In eleven months OF the fiscal year
to the end of May the company earn
ed s400, 600 in excess of all charges
and fun interest on the adjustment
bonds. These figures the directors
had before them at the meeting at
which the adjustment interest was de-
ciared. In May the surplus over all
charges and adjustment bond interest
was $ss, geo. against $4,000 last
year. but this showing followed de-
cline of s2Se,000 in gross for the
month. SO that il appears that the
management retrieved the largest pro-
portion of ME gross loss through
economies in operating expenses.
IL is understood the company has
in preparation comprehensive plan
of financing which il Is contemplated
will put the companys finances on a
permanent basis. This proposes a new
ferred stock to be exchanged for ex-
listing securities and used to refund
the $4,000. 900 per cent notes due
March !, 1916. This may possibly be
announced In the near future If finan-
cial conditions are considered favor
able.

ONE OF NATURES MARVELS
Great Stone Face Of the Pyrenees Has
Entranced Artists From All
Parts of the World.

There is probably no more remark
ably example of natural statuary in
the world than the famous stone face
of the Pyrenees, in Spain. The eleVa-
ton stands alone, surrounded by val
leys so that the profile dominates the
skyline for many miles.
The chin is firmly modelled, while
the lips seem to be tightly compressed.
The line representing the nose is
drawn with strong bold stroke, civ
ing 1t a truly Castilian character.
The mountain with this singular con-
tour rises so high above the surround
ing country that it may be seen for
many miles. 1t is, besides, modelled
on such heroic lines that the appear
,apce of foliage, even the growth of
forest, does not alter the lifelike ap.
Dearance throughout the seasons.

and-pinions, diligences and sledges,
and when nothing but your own feet
will take you any further you will see
in Switzerland a grand hotel, magic
ally and incredibly raised aloft in the
mountains.
1t is solitary-no town, no houses,
nothing but this hotel hemmed in on
all sides by snowy crags and made
impregnable by precipices and treach-
.erous snow and ice
At the great redrawing of the map
of Europe, when the lesser national
tiles are to disappear, the Switzers
will take armed refuge in their far
thest grand hotels and there defy the
mandates Of the concert.
For the hotel, no matter how remote
it be, lacks nothing that is mentioned
in the dictionary of comfort. Beyond
its walls your life is not worth twelve
hours purchase.
You would not die of hunger, be-
cause you would perish of cold.
At best you might hit on some
peasants cottage in which the stand
ards of existence had not changed for
a century.
But once pass within the portals Of
the grand hotel, and you become the
spoiled darling of an intricate organi
zation that laughs at mountains, ava
1anches and frost.
