NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
Company Formed to Build Line 54
Miles Long in Oklahoma.
Muskogee, Okla., April 1.—A com-
pany was formed yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of building an elec-
tric line from Muskogee to Clarks-
ville. Coweta. Broken Arrow and Tul-
sa, a distance of 54 miles. The idea
Is to open up one of the richest
grain, cotton and truck growing sec-
tions In the state and the line will
be designed for freight as well as
passenger service. The line would
cross the Arkansas River bridge at
Clarksville, then follow up on the
north side of the river. This is the
richest land In the 8tate. One truck
grower sold $600 worth of onions from
two acres of ground last year, and
another cleared $80 per acre net on
Irish potatoes.
Katy Officials Expected In Houston.
Below appears an Item taken from
the Houston Chronicle regarding an
exacted visit of officials of the Katy:
“A. H. .Tollne. president and chair-
man of the Katy, and A. A. Allen, vice-
president and general manager of the
same road, are due In Houston some
time this week for the purpose of in-
specting the company's property here
and attending to whatever other bus-
iness brings them South. Along with
them will come several other officials
of the company, including the Texas
officials located at Dallas. While
tho exact date of their arrival Is un-
known, it is said to be about Thurs?
I day of this week.”
| Diligent Inquiry here falls to locate
I anyone who knows anything of a vis-
it of the higher officials before April
8th, when the directors an,d stockhold-
i ers of the Denison I'nlon Passenger
■ Station will meet In this city.
Learning Railroad Business.
Chicago, 111,, April 1.—-Edward
Small Moore, son of W. H. Moore, has
been selected to eventually succeed
to the management of the large prop-
erty interests of the Moore Brothers,
who cwn the Rock Island System.
| For some time young Moore has
been under the tutelage of the presi-
dent of (he Frisco system as a statist!-
i clan. Now he is coming to Chicago to
\ \ \ be placed under the charge of B. L.
Winchel!, president of the Rock Is-
land.
For the important work he will have
to do In the future Mr. Moore is to
receive a careful and painstaking prac-
tical education in all branches or rail-
roading, Including finances. He is
a graduate of Yale and Is Intensely
Interested in his work.
Railroad officials in charge of oper-
ation have received some encourage-
ment within the past week. Executives
in Chicago, 111., declare that after sev-
eral months the roads are beginning
to “see the light” of improved condi-
tions and a return of railroad prosper-
ity.
The attitude of the Supreme Court
toward the railroads expressed In the
Minnesota rate case decision was the
first thing to brighten the gloom. This
was followed by the report of 130
roads to tho car efficiency committee
of the American Railway Association
supplement to the official bulletin of
March 4. These railroads, about one-
third of the number of the roads in
the country, have sent In reports that
the surplus car equipment of their
roads has been decreased by 11,000
cars since the Issuance of the last
bulletin.
With the same percentage of de-
crease In the Idle rolling stock of the
other roads added It Is estimated that
freight traffic has gained to a great
extent within the la8t month and that
the car aurplusage of the country,
which two months ago was above the
350,000 mark, hus been decreased un-
til It now stands slightly above 300,*
000.
According to the last weekly report
of the Indianapolis Freight Traffic
Bureau, about 90 per cent of the
usual March freight tonnage Is being
handled. January and February, the
dullest months of the panic period,
showed a decrease of about 25 per
c**nt of the Eastern roads. But for
the eight months ending with Febru-
ary the Pacific Northwest Car Service
Association reports 574,708 cars han-
dled, as against 482,040 ears for the
corresponding period In the preceding
year.
This Is a gain of 19 per cent for the
current commercial year. Reports
just Issued show that the thirty-eight
car service associations in 1907 han-
dled 38,000,000 cars, or 1,000,000 cars
on an average for each bureau's busi-
ness. As the number of cars In the
freight service of the United States
approximately Is 2,000.000, the car ser-
vice operation included the handling
of each car nineteen times.

Frisco Fire at Brownwood.
Two thousand dollars is the estimat-
ed loss from a fire which was discov-
ered in the Frisco depot at Brown-
wood, Texas, lgst night. The build-
ing Is an old wooden structure and the
fire department, after a run of half
a mile, had strenuous work-extinguish-
ing the flames. The building was
about half destroyed, as well as about
$290 worth of merchandise. Two
cars loaded with merchandise on the
platform track were saved.
Origin of the fire is unknown. There
was a quantity of oil and chemicals
about the depot and spontaneous com-
bustion is suggested.
915,000,000 Railroad.
One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars Is the sum named In the arti-
cles of Incorporation of the Great
American Railway, filed with the Sec-
retary of State at Pierre. S. D.

poration the road is to run between

Commission Changes Front.
Owing to the Interstate Commerce
Commission taking the “woman's pre-
rogative,” and changing its mind, the
railroads of the country will be allow-
ed to put cheap rates to the Paeifle
Coast on April 5 and 6.
ThejT.ange In the Commissions
ruling came unexpectedly, and it Is
understood to be on account of the
vigorous action of prominent residents
of the coast cities who want to have
many people to go and see the fleet
when it gets then.
