Mr.. N. l.. Gage of the construction de-
partment of the Santa Fe in recent in
terview made the statement that the
Santa Ee company is constructing great
north and south line, commencing at Gal
weston, on the Gulf of Mexico, passing
up through the heart of Texas, the east
err portion Of the Indian Territory, thence
into the northern part of Kansas, crossing
the main line Of the Santa Fe at Strong
City, touching Abilene. The Texas
system, as is well known, is already con-
structed and in operation, embracing
some 1900 miles OF road. BY June next
the work through the Indian Territory
will be completed. Contracts have al
ready been let from Strong City to Abb
lene and surveying parties are now in the
field north of Abilene, and are likely to
touch Clay Center within week or two.
From Strong City links are being built
making direct connection with the
great coal fields of Crawford county, in
the southeastern part of the state. The
facts are, there are in these regions four
foot veins Of coal within 200 feet of the
surface and OF the very finest bitumlnous
| quality. Immense plans are now being
erected by the Santa Fe company to work
the same. The desire of the Santa Fe
company is to furnish better and cheaper
coal to its patrons, and to furnish new
inlet for pine and oak timber from Mis-
souri, and Arkansas, and also to provide
a direct outlet over one system
of roads for Kansas and other
products to the state OF
Texas and through the port OF Galveston
to the markets OF the world The propo
sltion which carried last Tuesday IL
Dickinson county requires the road to be
built to the north or west line of thai
county, passing through Abilene, by July
/, 1887. The balance of the proposition
is to be complied with by the end of mex
year. Kansas City Times.

er.at statues OF the World.

Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty now
standing in New York harbor, the gift of
French nation to the United States,
has been claimed as the largest statue in
the world. This claim has been refuted
by Mr. w Simpson in the Daily News,
England. His statements will be inter-
esting to American readers, and are as
follows A much higher statue exists,
and has long enlisted in Afghanistan, the
truth of which is verified by the late
British boundary commission in that
country. These statues stand on the
road between Cabool and Balkh, at a
point where the road passes between val
leys and high cliffs. There are several
statues of Buddha, also cut from the
solid rock. The highest measured by the
theodolite gave height of 173 feet, which
is nearly seventy feet higher than that OF
the Statue of Liberty. There is another
of 100 feet in height
These statues would certainly claim
pre-eminence but are SO far removed
from civilization and the usual path most
OF us follow that think we need have nc
fear our "Liberty' will ever be over
Swallowed by the East.

built TO Houston. These roads will all

surely will be, Greenville will have more
lines OF the great Missouri Pacific system
