WHITE CROSS COUNCIL ]
 PLANNING PUBLIC LECTURE. I
pr. James J. Walsh of New York City Will Speak on The Century of Co., lunhus.

Arrangements have been completed by White Cross council, No. 13, K. of C., for lecture to be given by Dr. James J. Walsh of New York city on The Century Of Columbus. this lecture to be given in. the town hall Monday evening. Nov. 27, at s o'clock. and to be free to the public.
 Norwich has had a great many lec- lures in the past few years by men distinguished in all walks of life, but the Knights of Columbus of Norwich are to be congratulated upon having secured the services of a lecturer of the known ability of Dr. Walsh and to be commended for the enterprise and public spirit which prompted them to have the lecture open to the public without charge, as there are hundreds of people in Norwich and vicinity who are familiar with the reputation as a lecturer of the learned doctor and who would gladly pay substantial sum to
 hear him talk on any Of the many sub- 5ects with which he is familiar. Dr. Walsh recently delivered an ad- dress before the Rotary club of New York, and a leading periodical, com menting upon his talk, said: "The doc l tor gave a most entertaining talk and successfully showed that nearly all. ii not all, of the modern inventions were anticipated in the. past, or have beer forgotten by the world. "Dr. Walsh is clean, constructive thinker natural philosopher, and al. together plain and therefore mucf the moro pleasing man. His subJec
 was so big and broad; and his time SC limited, that only. the suburbs, th' outskirts, were brought to view. l Had the learned doctor been giver
 more time, he would probably referred | to the time when Cambyses marched through Egypt and trod out royalty trampled out civilization.
 ! '.The doctor. for lack of time. skip ped 50 many subjects of commercial social and ethical interest. Take tn

 Egyptians pursued the plan of color into double service. When the. wanted to elaborate. history the. painted it. Their colors never faded otherwise we would not know of tfi fact His lecture proved to be one o the most fascinating talks of tn times"
 It is expected that the town hall vii be we'll filled when the learned docto delivers his lecture

RAILROADS. VALUE
SPEND WEEK IN CONWAY
Interstate Commerce Commission
and Railroad Officials Ascertaining
Value of Iron Mountain.

+. R. Pollock, representing the val
uation department of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad Company and Thomas
BoIes, assistant field engineer of the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
the United States, with crew of Is
assistants, arrived in Conway today
to take an inventory of the railroad
property IN this city. The men will be
an Conway one week. They travel in
special pullmans, which have been set
out rear the freight depot.
Every piece of property owned by
the railroad, from cross ties to the
station buildings, will be included in
the inventory. Each of the Is as
sistants has a special department to
work in, so that nothing will be omit
ted in their reports to the government.
Mr.. Pollock and Mr.. Boles travel to-
gether over the road, place a valua-
ton upon each piece of property, and
If a disagreement over the worth of
the material arises, it is made a part
OF the record, the same as if an agree
.ment is reached
The object of the inventory has not
been disclosed, Mr. Pollock said to a
reporter for the Log Cabin Democrat
today. Whether it will affect the
freight and passenger rates, or wheth-
er 1t eventually will terminate in
government ownership of the rail
roads, is not known, Mr.. Pollock said.
The bill proposing such a move, in
troduced IN the United States senate
| by Senator LaFollette, was passed
without the real object being made
known to the public, it is said.
The railroad and the government
| representative will arrive at the ori-
ginal cost of building the railroad, the
cost OF reproducing it at the present
time and its depreciation in value
! Separate reports will be forwarded tC
the heads of both the Interstate
/ Commission and the railroad company
Three other crews, with similar
! duties, are at work in the United
States. The government representa-
lives work under the Civil Service
Commission, and are required to pass
| lrigid examinations.
