Col. Fred A. Olds had the follow
ing to say: r
"You ask for a blf. of a story
about Raleigh's outlook for 1910.
The year Just gone was the best in
all the long history of this city, yet
its high mark of progress and ex
tension seems to be but an earnest, a
sort of curtain-raiser, for what the
i present year is to bring. First of all
there is going to be a new railway.

The dawn of 1910 finds Raleigh a
city thoroughly alive to its opportun-
ities, and with a "United, Progres
.." siye" people there is every reason to
2 believe that there will be changes and
Improvements that will startle even
the most optimistic!
There is no reason why we should
not-become a great commercial and
t manufacturing city. We have been
liberally endowed by nature, and
with a little "push" by a united citl-
zenship our fondest dreams can be
V made realities.
Realizing that a great deal of the
V revival of business activity and the
awakening of our citizens to their op-
portunities originated in the cham
ber of commerce, Dr. Hubert A. Roys
er, president, and Col. Fred A. Olds,
secretary, were interviewed this
morning, on the subject of "Bigger.
, Busier, Better Raleigh".
Dr. Royster said:
n? . "Our city is just; on the eve of the
greatest period of growth in her his-
tory. The next few years will wit
ness tremendous changes and im
. provements, some of which can now
hardly be realized even by our most
... optimistic citizens. Surprises are
waiting the conservative among us.

4Ulding circles is going to continue

a woman and child in Raleigh shall
get the habit of enthusiasm and
spread it around like a contagion.

our possessions and our opportuni

The Methodists will erect at their

The work of doublinguhe capacity of
the Baptist Tabernacle, giving it the
largest church auditorium, will be
completed. St. Paul's A. M. E.

built, extended and otherwise greatly
improved. The Wake Savings
bank will occupy the most striking

From a reliable source it was learned
today that the bidders had failed to

auditorium committee.
The committee will go into the
matter thoroughly at this afternoon's
meeting and will doubtless take some
steps towards getting it adjusted so
that work on the auditorium may be

T1IE PRESDIEWT'S
SPECIAL MESSAGE
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
WashlngtoniK, Jan.. 5 The president
practically completed the text "Of the
special message which he will send to
congress urging amendments to the
Interstate commerce law and the
Sherman anti-trust law. In this mes
sage which . It is -expected will be
read In both houses next Wednesday,
the president will embflrty his recom
mendations regarding the issuance of
federal licenses to- corporations. This
proposition does riot meet with the
views of some of the progressives, with
whom the president has tAIked, but It,
Is strongly recommended by Attorney
General Wickerehamj Secretary Nagel
and the bureau of . corporations.
After consulting with leaders of the
senate and house the president is said
to have reached the decision to in-
cvlude a recommendation in regard to
amendments to the anti-trust law, not
withstanding that the supreme court
has yet to pass upon the Standard
Oil case. '
In respect to amending the interstate
commerce law. It is believed that the
president will follow to a large extent!
the recommendations of the interstate
commerce commission in Is-annual re-'
port The authority which the com-'
mission seeks Is broader than many
of the republican leaders in the sen
ate should be granted, "particularly
regarding the physical valuation of
railroads.
