month, and regular passenger and
freight trains are running from Missouri /
river points 10 Phillipsburg. Nearly
every hour Of the day since then the To-
cOmotiYe histle has sounded The APP
prOach OF some train, either laden with .
stock bound for eastern markets, or the /
approach Of some passenger or freight /
train. or a train loaded with material I
on its way % the front. The eight stall /
round house is nearly completed aud a /
large force Of men are at work laying 4
side tracks and leveling of the mann /
moth yards Of the company. IL is said /
work will commence immediately on I
the repair shops. The depot is a Oeau- /
ty. cOmmOdiOus and comfortable. The /
company are al work on a reservoir, !
covering some fifteen acres, to supply /
the engines with water, after the same |
plan as the Missouri Pacific at Huron, /
and will name It Lake LellIngwell. - /
after one OF our oldest settlers and most
energetic and substantial business men.
The Phillipsburg people havueI got
through rejoicing over the completion
OF this great line OF railroad from the
Missouri TO this place. The CHAAPIOE
reiOices with them, and 50 will every
CITY and town in Kansas. So good
town and so fine a county, she ought 10
I have had a railroad several years ago.
So rich and wealthy a county seat was
/ certain TO secure a railroad. Aud now
/ that the first one has been secured, will
naturally draw others. Perhaps the
Missouri Pacific may yet get their eyes
open TO the fact that they must g. be up
and doing something sOOns or else be
fenced ia by iron bands so lar a.
/ Northeast Kansas S concerned.
Z The track-layers OF the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific have laid their
track TO the Norton county line, about
/ eighteen miles from Phillipsburg. The
| grade is nearly completed to Norton
county seat Of Norton county. When
/ completed there they will be nearly as
far west as the north branch OF the
Central branch. 1t is believed this
road will complete their line to Denver
next year.
The new towns in Phillips county on
the Rock Island eXtenuOn are Agra,
Dana, Stuttgart and Prairie View, be-
sides PhillipsOurg, which Is the county
seat Of the county.
The resultO Of the completion Of the
! Rock Island TO PhiIiipsourg will be 10
make this place one of the most import
ant towns in northwest Kansas. 1t will
double in population in another year
