AN ARTISTIC RAILWAY BOOK.
"There Is Something to See Along
the Frisco Line"

The Frisco passenger department en-
phasizeS and proves its assertion that
there is something to see along the
Frisco line by issuing a large booklet
giving so views along its route without
exception the book is the handsomest of
its kind issued by railroads. The words
quoted above are used for its title and
the book is nothing but pictures, aside
from a brief Introductory note and a
complete map inserted before the last
cover.
The Photographic reproductions are
works of art They are 7x10 inches in
size, nearly all haIf-tones. The excep-
lions, are ten scenes reproduced hand
someIy and realistically in the tints of
natur@gems in color photography. The
scenes taken from along their line are
revelation of natural beauty, with a few
hints of commercial enterprise and stu
dies of people.
Before the completion of the StLouis
& San Francisco railroad" reads the in
tr0ductory note, "A trip between the
southwest and the Mississippi or Mis-
souri, rivers was looked upon with mis-
givings, a mOnotonous, is not a tiresone
journey being in contemplation. All the
lines Of railway which engage in south
western business have improved their
facilities, perhaps, to greater extent
than in any other section of the Union;
but they have not been able to change
the topography Of the country they ira
verse, and the fact will always remain
that the Frisco is the only natural seem
ic route through the territory which it
serves The main stem of the road
crosses the different ranges of the
Ozarks three times; the Ozarks proper,
in Missouri the Boston range, in Ar
kansas; and the Krainichi range in the
Indian Territory; winding its way in and
out of these differently designated ran
ges for practically the entire distance.
The scenery is all picturesque-much of
1t grand. Many of US in the southwest
are prone to elaborate upon the gran
deur of the Adirondacks, the AlIeghanies
or the Rockies, while at our very door
steps-the blue Ozarks, the rival of any
of the other ranges, are almost over

From the views shown in the book is
sued the Frisco's claim that its route is
a continual panorama from end to end
IS established. Truly there is some
thing to see along the Frisco line.''

mittee of the Business Mems club of

these two lines for Emporia-
Both lines have asked for a bonus of
$1,000 per mile which is the maximum
amount allowed by law to be issued for
such purposes. The consensus of opin-
ion Is that, in case these roads are built,
Emporia will secure both of them with

amount asked for Consequently the
