TO EXTEND MIDLAND
Money Already Subscribed for
Preliminary Survey,
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
Is Raised in Wichita to
Run the Line.

According 10 arrangements just CON-
pleted, a survey is to begin September
first for an extension OF the Kansas Mid
land from Wichita south to Pawnee and
South McAlester, I. T.; Texarkana. Ark,
and Dennison, Texas.
The money for the survey will be local
capital, $4,000, and Is already subscribed
by substantial Wichita business men, who
have requested that their names be with
held at present Mr.. Caldwell of Louis
vile, KY, of the firm Of Caldwell e
Stevens of this city. Is heavy hacker
of the extension enterprise New York
and Holland capitalists, according to Re-
ceiver Wolf OF the present Midland or
ganization, will furnish a million and a
half, the money to be available when
the preliminary survey Is completed. Mr..
Wolf has been in Holland for several
weeks and will return to this country
about August 18th. Another one fof the
men who are pushing the extension is w.
II. Arnold, who Is here with his family
now, stopping at 405 South Lawrence. AIr
taw tribe IN the Indian Territory and lives
at South McAlester in the heart OF the
Choc;aw nation. He is Choctaw himself
and is one OF the richest men in the ter
ritory in the amount of property ne con-
trols. He is a pusher. He will be one
OF the biggest men in the new state, but
just now ne Is working to secure a line
OF railroad from the grain country of
Kansas and Oklahoma down into the
coal, zinc and lead fields Of the Indian
Territory. He says that the proposed ex-
tension OF the Midland is one of the most
feasible apd promising projects In railroad
building in the west, and that experienced
railroad men regard It so.
The new road will, when completed, be
200 miles in length from Wichita south,
which mileage, added to the present Mid
land, will be increased to more than 800
miles. According to present calculations
the line will run from Wichita to Pawnee,
where II wiz divide, one branch going TO
South McAlester and Texarkana, and the
other TO Dennson, Texas. This will fur
nish an outlet to the gulf for export
grain and at the same time tap the coal
and zinc fields Of the territory and the
lumber districts OF both the Indian Terri
tory and Arkansas. Cars will be loaded
each way and this will eliminate the draw
back complained OF now by gulf roads as
the empty haul
The lead and zinc industry in the Choc-
taw nation will some day be as great as
Il is at Galena and Joplin, for It is the
same strata, further south. Around Nc
Aiester and south there are rich veins OF
coal, twelve feet from the surface. The
south and southeast and southwest sec
tons OF the Choctaw nation are rich in
zinc and lead ore and further down the
proposed line, in the direction of Tex
arkana, are lumber forests from wbicn
very places Wichita already ships large
lots Of lumber by Fort Smith and Cot
feyvile.
The towns TO be reached by the proposed
road guarantee TO raise substantial aid.
Texarkana promises $4,000. South Meal
ester and Pawnee from $4,000 to $4,000
each and in every way the Flan seems
sure of quick SUCCESS

DOLD ELEVATOR FALLS
largo Amount Of Meats Shot TO the
CPileP.

On Friday afternoon the big hosting
elevator for the smoke house service Mt
Dold's broke away from the control of the
operator. and shot from the third floor
20 the sub-cellars, or down four floors.
This Is a 6-ton elevator and at the time
OF the accident there were two trucks on
the lift and about 1900 pounds OF meats.
The admirable system of protection of
help which Manager Fred Dold has i'm
provised. saved the loss OF life in tbs
case. There Is one inviolable rule about
the usage OF this elevator, and that Is
that no one is ever allowed on the lift.
Trucks OF meats are sent to the various
floors and either lifted or lowered to tier
several places, but none of the workmen
are ever with the load. Men are stationed
at the bottom and at the top of the ele-
rator shaft TO send or receive the stock
but no one is ever allowed on the elevator
with the cargo. This rule, saved the lives
of all the workmen, who might otherwise
have been guarding the shaft at the time.
The meat was all cared for and nothing
hndered from the usual procedure.

person in the city who had not been hello

given them all tickets 10 the coun nv and
small piece of ground when they got
there he would have done better yet.
One day ! met Harry and asked him
why he didn't try to get piece of cake
that would make it impossible for peof,la
to be poor and miserable. and he imme-

to and from his Office in greater style
than that shown by the Pres dent of the
United states. He had an opalescent
coach drawn by cream colored horses, and
there was nothing on Fifth avenue that
could approach 1t for elegance
At precisely six O'Clock the rich man
drove up to his palace and three ser
wants in iverty dropped from the coach to
open the door. Then ten more came from
inside the palace with a siiken awning up
he'd on golden poles. which they held
aioft so that the great man would not
get sunstroke on his way into the house.
Now Harry had heard that the OF
way to the old mans consideration was
through his vanity He had invented his
SOAP himself and had built his fortune
up from one cake, which he made and
sold when he was a boy, and he liked to
think that it was the best soap ever sold.
Wen, of course, you know that all soaps
are the best. If you don't believe it read
the pretty advertisements in the back Of
the magazines.
Harry had a very engaging manner,
and when the great man STEPPED out OF
his coach he walked Up to him ana re-
moving his cap, he said in a tone of ex-
cessive sweetness, unmixtd with servility:
"Mr.-, 1 have, always used your soap,
and that IS why l ON such a clean boy.

Then the millionaire told the coach
