RAILROAD NEWS.
Rock Island Will Build Two
Additional Branches.
Connect Kingfisher and Guthrie
and Chickasha and McAlester.
WILL TAP RICH LANDS
Surveys Are Made and Work
Will Commence Shortly.
Interesting Items of a General
and Local Nature.

The Rock Island Railroad company
will begin active work on the construc-
tion of two branch lines in few days
One of the lines viii be in Oklahoma
and will run from Kingfsher to Guth-
rie. The other line will be in the In
dian Territory, and will run from
Chickasha to McAlester.
The surveying parties having in
charge the laying out of the routes OF
the new lines have been at work for
the past few weeks. The material is
being hauled to the scenes of opera
tiOn and Workmen will be on the ground
by the first OF next week, ready to be-
gin the work of laying track.
The line from KingfiSher to Guthrie
has not been entirely surveyed as yet,
but this part of the preliminary work
Will be finished at one end as the track
laying progresses at the other. This
lines will be about 80 miles in length
and the country through which 1t pass
eS is rich agricultural land
The line from Chickasha to McAles-
ter has been surveyed as far as Pauls 5
Valley, a distance of about 81 miles,
and the surveying party is now at
miles between PauTs Valley and Nc
Alester. This line, when completed,
will be about 125 miles in length and
will run through some of the richest
coal land in that section of the country.
The two branch lines will be com
pleted with all possible haste. 1t is
expected that these lines will prove
good investments for the Rock Island
road, as both tap rich country.

ALToN's NEW PLAN.
Engineers Supersede Roadmasters In
Road, Bridge and Track Con-
struction Work

St. Louis, Dec. civilian Riley, one
of the best known general rOadmasters
among western railroads, has retired
from the employ of the Chicago and AL
ton, after nearly thirty years of service.
He rose from the position of section
foreman, and was retained through
successive administrations, until the
present management decided to abolish
the position. Effective December 1, J.
E Jonah, late of the Peoria and North
ern Short Line. is appointed chief eng1-
neer of maintenance of way, with head
quarters in Bloomington, succeeding to
the duties formerly discharged by Cen
eral Roadmaster Riley, whose position
is abolished.
President FELTON,, of the Alton, has
favored the policy, which is in opera
ton on a number of eastern roads,
which gives supreme authority in the
road, bridge and general trackage con-
structiOn to civil engineers, instead OF
rOadmasters. He has directed that the
division rOadmasters, who have
been drawing a salary OF
S125 per month in the past
shall be reduced to SIS, and their duties
restricted to track work exclusively.
The engineering department under Mr.
Jonah and Chief Engineer H c. Drap per
will supervise all other work hitherto
under the control of the general and
division rOadmasterS. The operations
of the new system will be watched with
interest by employees OF the Alton, to
whom it is novel and untried.

Emporia's Next Weddings

Emporia, Dec 2-SociaI circles in
EmpOria are in a futter over two forth
coming weddings, the dates of which,
as yet, have not been given out.
One is to be that of Hon. L. R.
Wright. member of the legislature from
the Fifty-first district, which embraces
the west side of Lyon county. He is to
be welded to Miss NIadge Overstreet,
daughter of Elder Overstreet of the
Presbyterian church. Miss Overstreet

the College of Emporia. and since then
has become quite noted as an artist,
having studied under the best teachers
in Europe
The other wedding soon to take place
is that of Allen 5. Newman to Miss
Jessie NJ. Taylor, both of whom are con
nected with the State normal Mr..
Newman is a son of former Senator
Newman of Clay Center, and for sew

THE DRUmmERs' GRIEVANCE.
Knights of the Grip Protest Against
Requirements of Sebastian Ticket

St Louis Dec. 2-Mr. F. W. Gran
dali. chairman of the railroad commit
tee of the Missouri Division, Travellers
Protective Association of America, has
been conducting a vigorous correspond
ence with Commissioner Nanlanding-
ham of the traffic bureau. and Chair
man Macleod of the Western Passen-
ger association, relative to the Sebas-
tian form of mileage ticket He thinks
it does not fill the bill as completely as
it might and that some changes in the
rules now prevailing, with regard to it,
are imperative. The main objection
goes to the refund clause in the con-
tract. which provides that the holder
of the book must show receipts for 1000
miles of tickets purchased before he is
entitled to refund
Mr.. CrandaH thinks this is ineQuita bic
in certain cases and works a hardship
He instances cases where large firms
have from ten to twenty travelling
statesmen on the road. Their personnel
can not necessarily be the same, year
in and year out, nor can their services
at all times be retained until the even
2 600 miles have been travelled Then
again. a salesman may be transferred
from the western to the southwestern
passenger association territory before
he has completed his 600 miles As
these books are not transferable, and
no refund is made until the 1000 miles
are complete, it is claimed an unneces-
sarv burden is imposed upon the heads
of firms, the men who really pay for
the tickets.

ing man at Caldwell Mrs. LuSk claims
that he got to drinking and became a
common drunkard through there being
open saloons in Caldwell She claims,
and it is about admitted, that he died

ages against the city upon the ground
that the city was receiving a license
from the saloons, which We're being op-
Grated contrary TO law. She names the
mayor and city council as parties To
the suit because the license was col
1ected by their direction, knowledge and
consent.

a party in the suit because the plaintiff

In speaking of the damage Mr. Still we'll
said: The washout was far more serious
than We at first anticipated and are
thankful to get through with it. The rains
in that vicinity were very heavy and the
Red river was higher as consequence
than 1t has been for many years On ac-
count of the swollen condition of the Red
river it was impossible for the work of
driving piles and replacing the treStle
work to proceed very rapidly. The dam
