Only S2.250 is Needed for Little Railroad in Pennsylvania Hills. SMETHPORT, Pa., Jan. 14. The "Kushequa Route" railroad is badly In need cf $2,250, and unles3 It gets it pretty coon this midget line la liable to close up shop. At least that is what Prest Elisha K. Kane ray?. This little railroad, which few previously ever knew existed, became famous last summer through a dispatch of the International New s Service, when Prca't Kane issued hi? celebrated time table announcing that it would operate on only "moist Mondays, "Wednesdays' and Saturdaye," during summer months, when engine cparks might cause serious forest fires along the mountainsides. The "Kushcqua Route"' is a queer little railroad a ?coro or more mile? long. Smethpcrt, nine miles back from ro where, in the wilds of :.McKean county. Is the county seat. The "Kushequa Route" is the only means of communication with the cutside world. At Backus, a little flag etop, it connects with the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railroad. During sessions of ceunry court the little railroad is indispensable in getting to and from court. Road Losing Money. For several -years the road has been losing money. Kane, who is wealthy, kept it going, but he does not feel like "shelling out" perpetually for the other fellow's benefit

eo he has appealed to the Conopus

ber of commerce to dig up $2.230, ! gentleman in question. ( -a 4 v i. ! cause I'm a Beau Brum

and tht "Kushequa Route" ax two different propositions, though Kana owns "Kushequa Route." In concluding his appeal for a touch to the Conopu3 club, Kane says: "I ask the Conopus club to secure for us a loan of $2,250 at six percent In terest for two years and thereafter to be reduced by monthly Install ments of $30 0 each. I will assume personal responsibility for the amount of the loan." There you have a railroad president ttlllng hew the Indebtedness will be secured, how it will bi gradually paid off, but minus the ujuaj verbiage and legal camouflage. But if the Conopus club doesn't come across with that $2,250 there isn't Kroing to bo any mora railroad between Smethport and Backus.

production, and now there is serious

talk of compulsory destruction of gigantic Industrial undertakings. The Federal German Works, w hich formerly served only war production, have been long since reconstrcted entirely upon a peace basis. There are in those works no longer

for the manufacture of a single military rifle or cannon. Where formerly grenades and guns were made machines are today making office furniture, motorcycles, also Fport wea

pons but only such articles as never 1

could find any use in warfare. In cao of mobilization it would take at least four months to manufacture a single shell! This applies to all of our former war plants, even the biggest. Txt the master achievements of German engineering and technique which aro in the Deutschen Werke and which belong to the German people are to be wantonly destroyed simply because at one time they served the manufacture of war weapons. Is that the sort of policy of which tho French government continually speaks a policy born of the will to K. . i ..... O - .. . 1. .

i'f jun. kj 11 me contrary, it is a

policy of vengeance a policy certainly not designed to heal the world's war wounds. And It is this policy which makes it so extraordinarily difficult for the German republicans to suppress the revenge idea In Germany.

As a substitute he wants to buy what he calls a mo torbufi car. This will be a combination baggage and day coach. It will carry 17 pa-ssengcrs, if there aro no big, fat ones, and they squeeze in gcod and ti-rht. It will also carry light hand Kagrage. Then again, this motorbus can be operated by

! one man. In other, words', kaiic

hepes to keep the "Kushequa Boute" in business even if It does become a one-man railroad. Still

another advantage, he sajs, is

fact that whereas his locomotive hauls two trains a day each way, tho motor-bua turn make four trips a day. That's putting Henry Ford's railroading into practical use cutting down the operating force and doubling up tho size of the sen ice. Buy Car on Payments. Again. Pres't Kane is quite entertainly frank. In his appeal to the Conopus club he says: "We haw tried in aln to secure one cr thee cam on the installment plan, without down payment. The nearest we can come to it Is one-fourth down and the balance in 24 mor.thb installments. Kven the n-ost rudimentary figuring will show anyone that, even with the present sma'l amount cf passenger travel, the railway motor-bus cold save tho amount of the deferred payments." Kane is practica!. Some say he's a millionaire. At any rate. If you
