The Congressman from the Eight eenth district bf Illinois hopes that the next House of Representatives will be "cannonized" no matter what the religious beliefs, of the individual members.

A- recent dispatch from Baltimore, Md4 gives color to the conviction among well informed people for some time that there is a very close alliiance beJreen the Seaboard Air Line and theCaVoliha, Clinchfield & Ohio t ail roa4, which is building a line for the purpose pf developing a tract of 25,- 000 -acres of coal land in southeast Virginia, and that necessarily, sooner or M,ter, Wilmington must be the out let for the vast amount of traffic which is expected to follow the con nection of the two roads at Bos tic WdIe the C. C. & O. is building to Spartanburg, S. C, and an outlet to deep water at Charleston s provided fronitthere over the C. & W. C, a' sub sidiary road of the Atlantic Coast Line,f,it is believed here by parties in close touch with the situation, that the -Carolina Clinchfield, being owned by-sallied interests, willvnrefer to use thefiCarolina Central branch of the Seaboard for the diversion of its traf fic alter connecting with the latter at Bostic, there being an air line from there, to Wilmington and deep water. Butthe Baltimore dispatch speaks for itself and is as follows: Baltimore, Md., Dec. 20; There is mutch talk in local financial circles relative to the Seaboard Air Line Railway taking over the. Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad when the former is reorganized. The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio is controlled Xby .- the Ryan-Blair inter estsW'ho iWere also the dominating interests in. the Seaboard prior to the recershiD. X-XXXi According tothe "story current, the carrying out of the plan" will depend upon the showing the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio makes during the next year or two. It is a new road, only partly finished, and is being built for the purpose of developing a tract of '25,000 acres of coal land in south east Virginia. The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio will extend from Elkhorn, Ky., on the Chesapeake & Ohio, to Spartanburg, S. C on the Southern Railway and Atlantic Coast Line, about 285 miles, to be completed by July 1909, of which sixty-seven and one-half miles, from Johnson City, Tenn., . south to Altapass, N. C, and eight miles from Dante to Fink, Via., was operated in March, 1908. Construction is com pleted, or largely completed, from Altapass to Bostic, N. C; sixty-one miles, and from Fink, Va., to Johnson City, Tenn., seventy-eight mes. The capital stock .amounts to $30, 000,000, of which $15,000,000 is 6 per cent. , preferred and $15,000,000 is common... A few months ago a new mortgage was created to secure $15, 000,000 3-year 5 per cent, bonds. . It will be a year, and , probably two years, before the Seaboard is taken out Of the hands of receivers, and1 by that time it Is believed that the new coal road will have demons sfrated its earning possibilities suf ficient to determine whether . or not it would be a desirable acquisition for the Seaboard.
