RAILROAD SCnfME
That Will Be Of Great
Benefit to Guthrie
Connect two Continents
If the Building of This Road
Should Be Accomplished,
Guthrie Will Be Greatly
Benefited.
A gigantic railroad scheme, to-
wit, the Pan-American Railroad
company, has materialized to the
charter stage, articles of incor-
poration being filed last Monday
morning in the office of the secre
tary of the territory. The capi
tal stock of the corporation is
$250,000,000 and the estimate
length of the proposed road, in
eluding branches, is 10,000 miles.
At the same time articles of in
corporation were presented for
the incorporation of the Canadian
American Construction company,
but because of a technical defect
the papers were returned Tor cor-
rection. This company, it is in-
ferred, will have charge of all
the construction work, and the
articles of incorporation name
Guthrie and Shawnee as the com-
pany's principal places of busi-
ness.
The railroad scheme, as set
forth in the paper filed with the
secretary contemplates the build-
ing of a line of railroad including
branches, starting at Port Nelson
on the Hudson bay or some more
feasible point on Hudson bay,
thence extending in a southerly
direction to the northern bound-
ary of the state of North Dakota,
crossing the line of the Canadian
Pacific Railway company at or
near the city of Winnebeg, in the
province of Manitoba, thence in
southerly direction through the
states of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Ok-
lahoma and Indian Territory,
thence through the state of Texas
to the Gulf of Mexico, at or near
the city of Galvestion, or some
more feasible point.
Also extending the line from
some feasible point on the Gulf
of Mexico in a southerly direction
to the northern boundary of the
republic of Mexico, thence in a
southerly direction through the
republic of Mexico to the bound-
ary line of Central America, from
there south through the countries
of Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and
Argentine to strike the Atlantic
ocean at or near Buenos Ayres.
Also a branch line, beginning
in the Republic of Peru extending
in a southerly direction through
Brazil to a point at or near Rio
De Janiero.
Also a branch line, beginning
at the Republic of Peru, thence
in a southerly direction through
Chile to Valparaiso on the South
Pacific ocean.
Incidental to the Pan-American
scheme, and no doubt included
with it, was the issuirg of char-
ters to the Canadian Southern
Blow to Austria's Supremacy.
It used to be the privilege of Aus-
tria's representative, at any confer-
ence ot' representatives of the German
states, to smoke, the others refraining.
edgement of Austria's supremacy. At
the first conference that Bismarck at-
tended as Prussia's representative he
began to puff smoke across the confer-
ence table as soon as the Austrian dfc

COULD DO NOTHING WITH HIM.
Gov. "Bob" Taylor's Opinion of Bolt-
ing District Leader.
Gov. "Bob" Taylor, the fiddler ex-
ecutive of Tennessee, was the auto-
crat of Democratic politics in his
State. A factional split in the party
seemed likely on one occasion be-
cause of the sulkness of one of the
district leaders, who was noted for his
irritating stubbornness, and Gov.
'Bob" was appealed to by Senator
Carmack and other prominent State
politicians to bring the "insurrecto"
nto line.
But the "fiddler" had often tried his
authority and his arts on the refrac-
tory lieutenant in vain.
You can't do anything with that
fellow," he said to other leaders. "He
is like a boil; devilish disagreeable,
but you can't sit on him."—New York

Railroad cotnoany and the Guth-lThis was supposed to be an acknowl-

company, tluthrie being named
as the principal place of business.
The incorporators of these two
latter roads are J. H. Woods, T.
H. Arnold, W. S. Pendleton and
J. II. Scott of* Shawnee, and C.
E. Wells of Lincoln, Neb.
The Canadian Southern com-
pany is to build the line connect-
ing with a road commencing
near Winnibeg, Manitoba, at a
point on the Kansas boundary to
Guthrie. The estimated cost of
the line and the capitalization ot
the company are each $15,000,000,
The Guthrie, Shawnee and
Gul'f company will commence its
road at Guthrie and build to some
feasible point on the Gulf of
Mexico. lis estimated cost and
capitalization are each $10,000,-
000, and its estimated length is
four hundred miles.
The United States government
has had this project in hand since
1889, and has worked in connect-
ion with Central and South Amer-
ican republics in making surveys
etc. Through this fact Andrew
Carnegie and.other men of means
and power, were gotten into it,
and it is such stable hands that
the project rests today. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, as late as last
March, appointed Chas. M. Pep-
per as commissioner to investi-
gate and report in connection
with the system, and he is now
in South America working on
that end of the scheme as a direct
representative of the government
although the system itselt is en-
tire a private enterprise, but its
magnitude and vast importance
is the inducement for the govern-
ment to aid in every way to bring
about the building of such a great

MEDICINE IN SLOT MACHINES.
Press the Eutton and Get the Cure for
Your Ailment.
A young man in a green suit stop-
ped before a slot machine on Arch
street, held his handkerchief before a
tiny no?.zle, dropped a cent in a small
crack, and in a silvery spray there is
sued forth a quantity of vile-smelling
ologne. The young man was delight-
ed. He sniffed the tawdry perfume
and to the dealer he said: "Hurray!
What next, I wonder?"
"The medicine slot machine is
next," the dealer answered. "I expect
to have one soon. The machine is
making a great success everywhere.
On its face appear a dial the names of
twenty-five mild diseases—cold, head-
ache, rheumatism, indigestion, such
diseases as wouldn't be apt to confine
you to your room—and there is an ar-
row that you move to the disease
which you nave. Then you drop your
coin in the slot and into your hand
falls a little vial <.? medicine, with the
directions marked in th« cork."—Phila-
delphia Record.
Fear for Russian Forests.
The name "Wooden Russia" is fam-
iliarly applied to the vast forest areas
of Russia in Europe, which cover 464,-
548,000 acres, or 36 per cent of the en-
tire area of the country. Yet some fear
is felt that the country may be defor-
ested through the carelessness of pri-
vate owners, and the government is
considering steps for the protection of
the forests. In Russia houses built of
any other material than wood art
almost unknown outside the cities, and
wood constitutes the principal fuel
