LINKS AND PINS,

The W. & ". railroad is now an assured
fact. Some seem to think ii strange that
Wichita, Winfield snd the people between
the two cities should want another line Of
railroad There ara several reasons Tor it.
Chiefly among these is the fact that this
line will run through a territory which has
no road. and another fact that this is not q
local scheme but the starting point for q
line from the northwest 10 the south, con
Meeting with a system that will make the
road one of the most important of the many
roads in and heading for Winfield. Win

folks brought in twenty wagon loads of
ties and rails, and laid several hundred
yards of track extending about equal dis
tances in both directions from the point of
intersection with the c. X. & W. just west
of the county line, the work being com
pleted before daylight on Monday morning.
This action was evidently taken be-
cause the d. NJ. & A feared the
Santa Fe would extend their tracks beyond
the crossing, thus causing the first mention
ed and much-abused company additional
trouble and expense in changing their
grade and putting in crossing, which
troable and expense will now doubtless fall
