MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1933. PAGE SEVEN E Appomattox National Park Proposed Seventy Years After Lee Surrender PARIS. (VP) ectrlntlon of railroads In France has been going on a a rapid pace during the past tew years and one company, the Paris-Orleans-Midi, now has 1632 miles of electrified track. The P. O. M. Is far ahead in the modernization process than the other lines of Prance, who for various rea sons, mostly mllltsry, have not adopted electric traction extensively. The principal advantages of elec trifying the lines are a reduction of 50 per cent In traction expenses and greater commercial speeds. One elec tric locomotive can do the work of three ordinary steam locomotives. The P. O. M. line has at present an electrlo locomotive which can draw a train of 800 tons at a speed of 6a m ph. The most extensively electrified section of the P. O. M. system Is that from Bordeaux southward and across the valleys of the Pyrenees, extending from the Atlantic to the Mediterra nean and accounting for 1157 miles. This system had Its beginning from the short aoctlon between the Oare d'Orsay and the Oare d'Austerlltz, the two underground stations In Paris, a distance of about 1'A miles, which waa begun In 1900. Pour years later an 11-mile extension was msde to Juvlsy, Fails suburb, but It wss not until 1927 the electric lines were first extended outside the Paris region. ine eiectnilcatlon program was first carried out In 1911 In the southern section of the system with 85 miles of track to reach the biggest stretch of 187 miles, Toulouse-Dax, in 1925.

Schilling S Colors ITALY SPEEDS UP If proposals of the Appomattox Memorial association materialize, Appomattox courthouse, which burned years ago, Hill be restored exactly as it was when this photograph nu taken during trie war oeiueen me states. APPOMATTOX. V. (AP) Not even In stone will Lee and Grant ever meet again on the field they chose for ending the war between the states 70 years ago on April 9. A proposal for an Appomattox memorial monument, showing them as they appeared the day "Marse" Robert surrendered bts ragged Con federate army, has been abandoned definitely and finally because of the old sorles It opened. Several years ago congress author ized an appropriation of $100,000 for the monument, but the move ment got no further. Protesting that such a memorial would be seen In the light of the Union triumphant over "common rebels' rather than "patriots of a lost cause," southern people united In a vigorous campaign to prevent its erection. Field May Be Restored Joel Flood, former Virginia con gressman now serving as chatrman of the Appomattox Memorial park association, says the proposed mon ument "is definitely out," but that prospects are good for restoration of the battlefield Into a national park. He predicts congress will pasa a revised bill, eliminating the monu ment and providing for the park. The chief patron of the revised measure Is Representative Patrick Drewry of Petersburg, Va, Government engineers have sur veyed the battlefield area and re cently Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Park Service, inspect ed the territory. Would Restore Old Buildings The park would embrace about , 1.000 acres which could be acquir ed from the owners without dlffl culty, says Flood. The site of the historic courthouse and Jail Is own ed by Appomattox county which is ready to donate It to the govern ment for park purposes. Plans- for the park contemplate the restoration of the McLean "Sur render House," the courthouse and the old tavern, and the marking of Lee's and Grant's headquarters. The McLean house was dismantled for removal to the Chicago World's fair In 1893 but It was never moved. What la left of It Is still piled up on the field. However, It could be reconstruct ed authentically, for two sets of plans were drawn and adequate photographs were made before the building waa torn uown. The old courthouse was burned be fore the turn of the century. ROME.
