The street car officials are putting
forth every effort TO have the South
Main street line in first-ciass running
order by fair time. There are only thirty
days left in which 10 get the road in
good condition. They realize that much
depends on the rapidity with which Gus
toners of the road are carried 70 the

Wood an expert electrical engineer of
81. Louis, in company with Mr.. Sweet,
went ali over the South Main street line
and made a thorough examination. Mr..
Wood is a practical street car man and
knows just what is wanted. He left last
night for his home after taking dia-
gram of the road together with all the
poles, the switches and everything that
was necessary for him to have, 50 that
he can order the material and have It
shipped 10 Wichita Immediately. L is
proposed 10 run the line into the grounds
and have a loop formed. This will be
made just inside the grounds and TO the

within fifty yards Of the grand stand,
where formerly one had TO walk half
mile after leaving the car.
Mr.. Wood is connected with the Cen
trail Union Brass company Of st. Louis.
He has twenty-three patents OF his
own that are now being used by differ
ent electric lines throughout the coun-
try. Most of them pertain to the wires
overhead and are the latest known TO
the electrical world. They will all be
used on the new lines in this city. Mr..
Wood said last evening that all the fac
tories were crowded with work but that
this order would be made a special one
and hurried through so that ne line
would be in first-class order in time for

Brooklyn, Omaha, Portland and Port
Townsend, besides other places. There
