RAILWAY RUMBLINGS
Unifying the Funded Debt of
Southern Pacific.
IS A PROBLEM TO BANKERS
Santa Fe Still Purchasing OH Land.
Local Railway Happenings of
Interest.
By Associated Press.
New York, March 10.—Bankers who have
assumed the financial guardianship of the
Harriman railroad system have, accord-
ing to the Herald, taken up for serious
consideration the intricate problem of
unifying the funded debt of the Southern
Pacific system. It has been generally
known for a long time that some com-
prehensive plan must be prepared in or-
der to refund bonds which mature in 1905.
The matter has been discussed infor-
mally by directors of the company and
various plans have been Suggested. The'
work of constructing a refunding mort-
gage estimated at $200,000,000 and $300,000,000
has now been taken up in detail for the
first time, but it is not expected that the
plan will be completed for several months
So intricate are the finances of the South-
ern Pacific, owing to the diversity of its
holdings, that it has been doubted whether
any comprehensive plan for unifying the
debts of the various companies in the
system could -be devised without the ere-
ation of an ei|tirely new corporation.
Those who”have undertaken the solu-
tion of the problem believe it can be reach-
ed, however, Without altering the charac-
ter of the Southern Pacific holdings or
originating a neW device for welding to-
gether the lots of the constituent com-
pany.
The frame .-upon which the great plan
will hang wilj be against refunding mort-
gage. The ^.mouht will depend wholly
upon how much of the debt of the system,
which aggregates $368,531,439, can be includ-
ed in any refunding mortgage, however
broad its scope.
Debts of some properties which should
be included in the refunding scheme are
held by ownership stock. Others are held
by lease. Some of the operating companies
are owned by other operating companies,
and some are held directly by the Southern
Pacific companj* which is a Kentucky
corporation. It is difficult in some in-
stances to carry out the plan of harmon-
izing and unifying the system without
coming into conflict with state laws.
It is on account of the difficulties pre-
sented by this complicated situation that
the work has been started well in advance
of the time for its inauguration.
PRIVATE CARS TO WORLD’S FAIR.
Gavestonians contemplating a visit to
the World’s fair in private cars will be
interested in the folio wing information:
Railroads will be permitted to store
private cars on the tracks in the exposi-

giving to parties traveling in cars the
privilege of stopping on the grounds dur-
ing their visit.
The cost of a private car being $50 per
IS IT CURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those
Afflicted With Piles.
Is a strained joint curable? Is local
inflammation curable? Of course, if prop-
erly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old “chronic” who has al-
ways persisted in the wrong treatment, and
naturally he discouraged them by telling
them that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and thus
a disease that can in every case be cured
by careful and.Skillful handling is allowed
to sap the energy of thousands who might
free themselves of the trouble in a’ few
days.
Pyramid ^ile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an as-
tonishingly gshort time. It relieves the
congested parts, reduces the tumors in-
stantly no matter how large, allays the
inflammation and stops the aching or itch-
ing at once. .
Thousands who have resorted to expen-
sive surgical treatment have been cured
by the Pyr'&.mid Pile Cure—in a number
of instances persons who had spent months
in a hospital under a pile specialist.
It is a remedy that none • need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated, swol-
len and inflamed hemorrhoidal tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master it and master it
quickly.
This remedy is no longer an experiment,
but a medical certainty, and is sold by
druggists everywhere for fifty cents a
package.

Mich., for their free book on the cause
and cure of piles.
day, including $10 a day fee to the exposi-
tion, the total expense for a ten-lays visit
would be $500; but as each car is, capable
of accommodating 20 persons, the cost to
each individual, including railroad fare
but no meals, would be about $5 per day.
SANTA FE TO PURCHASE LAND.
The following is taken from the Beau-
mont Journal of March 8th:
According to advices of an authentic
nature the Santa Fe railroad has made
a purchase of from 1500 to 2500 acres of
land six and one-half miles northwest of
San Augustine upon which, they have sunk
four wells in an effort to locate another
oil field. None of these wells have been
brought in, according to one of the best
citizens of that city, but on the contrary
they were sunk to an unknown depth and
pine trees of 20 feet in length and 10 inches
across in diameter have been driven down
in the casing for the purpose of keeping
inquisitive ones from finding out what
actually is in the wells or what the com-
pany has struck in the way of oil. That
there must have been some good indica-
tions of oil or that the company has
something up its sleeve is shown in the
fact that it keeps on buying land and is
making arrangements to put down more
wells. The land purchased has all good
titles to it and was secured at an average
price of from $15 to $20 an acre. There has
always existed at the above place strong
surface indications of oil and while it has
never been given a chance to shew what
the indications actually pointed to, there
is no doubt but what they will now be
given all the possible chance to do so.
MR. HERSHEY INTERVIEWED.
Fort Worth Record.
“We have made arrangements to give
the cattle raisers even better service this
year than was the case last,” said J. S.
Hershey, assistant general freight agent
of the Santa Fe, a prince of good fellows,
who is here doing the convention from his
Galveston headquarters. “Last year wo
gave a maximum of good service, with the
result we had a minimum of claims. I
believe that we will do a good business if
this meeting results in any trades being
made. The Santa Fe is the cattle raisers’
line and we have always catered for this
business and have heretofore given the ser-
vice to get it. We will continue to give
the service, for we realize that this is the
best manner to retain the trade we have
built up.”
SPECULATION AS TO R. R. HEAD.
City of Mexico, March 10.—Who will be
the next president of the National? This
question is still unanswered and if any-
one in Mexico knows who is to succeed
Captain Raoul they have not as yet ex-
pressed themselves on the subject.
J. G. Metcalf, president of the Inter-
national, which is an Integral part of the
National’s system, has been suggested for
the place, and, as he has been the right
hand bower of the Speyers, it is thought
that he may be the man selected.
If President Metcalfe is appointed to the
chair lately vacated by Captain Raoul the
question then arises who will be the presi-
dent of the International? The speyers
in this case will no doubt .fill this position
with a man from the National, and who
this will be no one is in a position to
say.
BASEBALL IN HOUSTON.
The baseball season will open Sunday
at Houston in an exhibition game be-
tween the St. Louis Cardinals (National
league). The Galveston, Houston and
Henderson will run a train from here,
leaving at 1.35 p. m. and arriving at the
Congress street station in Houston at
2.50 p. m., which will be most convenient
to those desiring to witness the game, as
they may take dinner at home before
leaving for Houston. The game will be
called at 3.15 p. m., and this train will
arive in Houston in plenty time to get
to the fair grounds before the game be-
gins. General Passenger Agent McClure
says there will be ample street car facili-
ties for reaching the grounds. The Gal-
veston, Houston and Henderson an-
nounces a fare of $1 the round trip for
this occasion.
