"I am n shining example of th
young mau who came wont to grow
tip with tlio country" said an oil
California railroad man.
"In lM'.S In company with a number
of railroad mm and one or two (mart
speculators 1 started th town of
Corlnne.
"We thought we wore pretty clever
fellows and at a Mr meetlnK we all
came forward with the anouncement
that we would never live to nee the
flay of another transcontinental road.
"We also decided that If the t'nlon
Pacific ever built a branch line It
would follow the. Hear river and so we
decided to locale a town which w
called Corlnne In honor of the 111 tl
daughter of one of the builder.
''Corlnne grew as If by iuhkIc. In
an Incredibly short space of time we
had 4500 people. Had Onden faded
and .Salt I-ake roIiir. We built a
steamer to go around the lake and
gather up ore which was to be smelt-
ed In the big plant we were about to
build.
Our wagon trains were the largt
In the went and many a time have T
neen them a mile long starting for
Montana and the mines In the north.
We had two splendid newspapers.
brick stores hotels and chnrchel and
we also planned a vast Irrigation '
tern.
"Alas for our hopes of fortune. W
have to thank ttie original bulldori
of the Central raclfle for the destruc-
tion of our expectations and also of
Corlnne.
'The Centra Pacific and the Vnlon
raclftc were soon at loggerheads and
the former compelled the latter to
lease the line to It between Promon
tory and Oxden for about 9!9 years or
!t would parallel the latter. When
Sidney Dillon commenced to build
branches he did exactly what we an
ticipated. He paralleled the line of
the Centra Pacific to llrlgham City
and left Corlnne out. That ended our
career. We wr dead from that
time."

Washington Dec. 22. Congress-
man E. 1.. Fulton of Oklahoma City
has f-ikcu up with the depart nt of
agriculture the proposition of loacting
at his home town headquarters for the
entomological station which will be
established somewhere in a district
which Is composed of South Dakota.
Nebraska Colorado. Kaiists Oklaho-
ma and Texas.
It Is l lie purpose of the department
to experiment In various ways trying
to find a destroying agent for those In-
sects which prove destructive to crops
of all kinds. A station will be lo-
cated In this district which will be
heatlipi'iters for Iho field men doing
work for the govei iiim-nt In this line.
It would be especlully valuable to
Oklahoma on account of the ravages
of the boll weevil and the green bug.
The government Is conducting num-
berless experiments for the eradiea-
Mon of these pests and if the head
quarters for the entomological dis
trict could be est-tblished In Okla
homa the state would get the first
adantuge of these experiments.

State ownership of railroads Is the
subject of ft report recently issued by
a Ilrltish commission. Forty-one conn
tries are dealt with the mimher b-
Ing divided Into four groups.
The first group contains the coun
tries which own and work a part or
tl.e whole of the railroad system:
India Canada New South Wale
Queensland South Australia Tas-
mania. Victoria Western Austral!
New Zealand Cape Colony Natal and
the Transvaal and Oranpe Itlver col-
onies. Austria Hungary Belgium Bra-
zil Bulgaria Chile. Colombia. Cos'a
Rica. Cuba. Denmark France the vari-
ous states of the German empire Hon-
duras Italy .la;. an Noiway Portugal
RumanJu. Russia Porvta. Slnm
Sweden Switzerland and Turkey.
The second group Is composed of the
countries whtre the state while own-
ing railroads leases them to private
corporations. These are Newfound-
land. Nicaragua and the Netherlands.
In Hrazil and in Bulparla the state
works some of the railroads It owns.
but lenses others.
In the third group are the countries
where the state has given assistance
to roads which are In private owner
ship: Denmark France. Greece I.ux
emburg Russia and Spain. In France
Greece and Spain concessions are
given for these roads for a certain
number of years and at the end of
that time they pass Into the hands of
the state. In Norway gome roads be
long jointly to the state and the local
authorities.
The fourth group is scarcely
eroup since It consists of only one
country. This Is Guatemala where the
railroads which were built by the
state were turned over to private own
ershln. Italy was at one time an ex
ample of this condition but is not at
present
Steeoest Railroad-In the World.
Vhat claims to be the steepest rail-
road line in the world is that re- j
cently opened near iiomi. in the Ty-
nH. The Mendel railway with a
craiiient of 6-1 in 100. add the Vasu-
' vi;n. with Gu. have hitherto held the
record. Rut the new line in Its steep-
est part rises 70 In 100 and in other
parts Cfi.
It leads up the mountainside to Vir-
gil Terrace on the River Klsach. The
sjs'em employed Is that of the elec-
trical wire rope and the ascent is
made at the rate of five feet a second
or five minutes for the whole distance.
The car of four compartments carries
32 passengers.

for buildings to be owned by the state
leaving the si hools and asylums to

the rental plan. Owing to the -lb-

the public billuing question 111 me

twenty towns wanted state iiornril

applicants for anything in sight.
The ulan a vear ago was to estab
lish three addition"! normals all in
the eastern part or the state but this j
year the favored number Is two. One
of these would probably go to the
northern portion or Cherokee conn-1
try and the other to the southern or
In the Chocktaw or Chickasaw na-
tions. This arrangement is preferred
if the .normals are bound to come
and as to locations would be satisfac
tory to the educational departments
of th-; stste.
The policy last year w-as not to
make new additions to the normals on
the west side until those allotted to
the east side were located and or-
dered. An appropriation of $o0000
wjb mfade for enlarging the Weather
ford normal but secured executive ap
tiroval onlv upon the the contin
gency that the money was not to be
used until provision had been made
as referred to. It is probable this
session of the legislature will see the

While practically no thought has
been given to where the money Is
coming from for the new buildings

Grain Men Go Over New Line.
Mr. Frank W. Morse vice-president
and general manager of the Grand
Trunk raclfle has just taken an im-
portant party of grain men over the
new line west of Winnipeg. As the
first Imposing- structure In a new town
In the wheat belt Is usually a grain
elevator these grain dealers are the
first to arrive. Some of those in Mr.
Morse's nartv were elevator men
looking for sites. For the past two or
three years settlers have been open-
ing up new farms along the line and
these will be ready to ship wheat
many of them this year.
Not His Fault.

Washington Dec. 22 A glance at
the report of the treasurer of the
United States will show the real rea-
son why the department is so slow-
about accepting propositions for sites
for federal buildings for which ap
propriations were made at the last
session of congress. With a deficit
of over $00000000 the secretary uf
the treasury is not In humor to pay-
out money if he can avoid it. This
more than any dissatisfaction with
the bids submitted may be considered
the real reason for the delay in the
purchase of sites in Oklahoma.
On the desk of Mr. Beekman Win-
throp third assistant secretary of the
treasury there are now fifty separate
federal building propositions to be
considered. For all of these appropri
ations have been made but the ques
tion Is with the treasurey in its pres
ont condition and eettine worse all
