ROAD GETS A FRANCHISE
Wyandotte County Gives olathe Line
Right of Way

Kansas City, Kas., April 1O.-The pro-
meters OF the electric line from Rose
dale to OIathe, which is proposed to con-
meet Kansas City with the latter place,
yesterday afternoon secured a twenty
year franchise from the county board
of Wyandotte county to construct a
single track on the north side of Mer-
Ram road from the west limits of Rose
dale to the boundary line between
Wyandotte and Johnson counties
The road viii connect in Rosedale
with the Metropolitan's Wyandotte
street division and its other terminus
will be the county seat Of johnson
county. The right Of way through
johnson county has not yet been Sc
cured, but the promoters expect to
effect a similar agreement with the au-
thorfties there as has been made in
Wyandotte county in order that they
may reach Olathe over the public high
way.
The line is to be constructed similar
to the Leavenworth line and is de-
signed for the accommodation of inter-
urban traffic. The road is to be stan
dard gauge, balIasted, with plank cross
ings. The rails are to be sixty pounds,
and the track must be 50 constructed
as to make travel safe and comfortable
Work on the road must begin by July
Is, but no time IS stipulated for its COM
pIetiOn.

SANTA FE's NEW ENGINES.
Twenty Powerful Locomotives Re
ceived From the Richmond Works.

Twenty Powerful Locomotives Re
ceived From the Richmond Works.
Mr.. 7. jerks, Santa Fe mechanical ex-
pert, will return today from Richmond.
Va, where he has been for the last six
weeks looking after the order for loco
motives which the Santa Fe placed with
the Richmond Locomotive Works.
The order was for twenty engines.
They have all been completed and de-
hvered to the road These engines have
been placed at different points over the
system. and are termed the .sconSoIida-
ton" locomotives
These locomotives are much more
powerful than any previously built for
the Santa F'e, but they do not approach
the weight and power Of some OF the
engines built for other roads which are
not as favorably situated as to grades
as the santa Fe- They viii haul as long
trains as it is desirab to handle on
this road where extremely heavy freight
locomotives are not needed
The cylinders are u by 90 inches, the
driving wheels are 81 inches IN diameter
and the weight on drivers is $4,000
pounds At 50 per cent of boiler pres
sure in the cylinders. the tractive power
is 90 eco pounds The boiler is of the ex-
tended wagon top type with the frebox
above the frames. The heating surface
is 2.686 square feet, and the CRATE area
33.5 square feet.
The mostu interesting feature is the
T care given to details with the object of
reducing the number Of breakdOWns On
the road. The piston rods have en-
/ larged ends, the axles throughout, in
/ Guiding the truck axleS and the crank
/ pins, have enlarged wheel fits, and the
I journals are very large for an engine
/ of this weight. All of the driving wheels
I are cast steel and the brakes are OF a
new improved pattern, the advantages
/ of which are numerous
The Richmond Locomotive Works
/ order is completed and the Baldwin LO-
connective Works is rushing an order o.
40 engines of the same type, which will
I soon be delivered, making a total Of
sixty engines All of these viii be dis
tributad over the system

Santa Re has ever placed at one time for

Colonel Aldace F. Walker. chairman OF

Il have been very much pleased with
my visit to Texas this time. I noticed
with a. great deal Of pleasure, substantial
improvements on my visit TO the state.
The outlook is very good for the planting
OF a large cotton crop this year Our
company Is well satisfied with the man
agement Of its affairs IN Texas. Our road
is now in excellent condition We have
expended a great deal Of money in cut
and strengthening our bridges. We have
also improved our depot facilities at diff
1erent points recently. the most extensive
being at Fort Worth where we expect
to spend over $4,000 in a passenger sta
ton and encouragement of the yards at
this point We also expect to erect a
hrst-class freight depot at once.
The only thing that I regret. and at the
same time am surprised at is the move
The idea seems to prevail in Texas that
IL Is something new, when, as a matter
Of fact. the system has been in use for
twenty years It is simply a question of
economy. Our aim all along has been to
get our road in shape to do business at
the least possible cost. and If we are TO
lower our rates We must necessarily

the American troops and that the sub

ture and refrigerator cars. 1856 were coal
ore and gondOIa cars; 500 were steer cars;

81 were for passenger and street railroad
service. OF the locomotives II were for
export and the division OF types was. ap-

10 switching locomotives
The number Of locomotives ordered was
more than twice the number ordered
IN February. bearing out the prediction
OF last month that the March record
would show an increase The car orders
however, instead Of being larger than IN
February, fell about 600 below the record
