...unwelcome competition, bought a half interest in Mr. Parish's company (TIME, Sept. 26). Work went ahead; last week the final sections of pipe were joined, tests begun. Within the fortnight the line is expected to be in actual operation and within three months the link to Columbia Gas's big eastern network will be completed. This will mark the completion of the longest natural gas "super-system," furnishing fuel from many sources. Feasible in theory, the project is not favored by many natural gas men who devoutly wish Mr. Parish had never started his line...
...gallons of beer were seized, four workmen arrested, a major source of supply for speakeasies cut off. Mr. McCampbell charged that the city police interfered with his agents' preliminary efforts to get evidence in the slummy neighborhood. Unsuccessful were the Government's first attempts to link the brewery's ownership to William ("Big Bill") Dwyer and Owen ("Owney") Madden.

The track will feed new traffic to both systems, will also bring competition to Southern Pacific's land and sea routes. And it will bring a smile to the ghost of James Jerome Hill who, never satisfied with merely pushing to the Coast...
...scholar, Ghost Man James knows how to link antiquity and horror: many of his spooks are harmlessly buried till a blundering antiquarian stirs them up. If the meddler survives, his invariable rule thereafter is to let sleeping ghosts lie. James sets the scenes of his stories with cunning realism, hearty plausibility; he never needs Bohemia or Walpurgis Night. Imperceptibly the shades thicken; something (it might be a rat) scuffles in a corner; something (it might be the wind) puffs out the curtains; and then...
...proudly up the Illinois River on a three-day trip from St. Louis. When it reached Peoria it pushed the big steel barge it had brought up to the city's new $400.000 wharf and warehouse. Whistles tooted, bands played, citizens cheered to celebrate the opening of one more link in the Government's vast mid-continent waterway system...
