"Airn Lines Coming to lola.

AS has been said of books might be
said of lola in the matter OF railroads;
"of the making of railroads into lola
there is no end" 1t Is pretty thing
to contemplate and as long asit doesn't
cost the reading public anything there
is no harm in reporting the tales.
For a good many years the Southern
Kansas was Iola's only road. Then
some fifteen years ago the st. Louis,
Ft. Scott and Wichita, now branch
of the Missouri Pacific, was built,
These served the town for years, being
more than able TO do the business.
Today with factories needing hun
dreds of cars every month, and town
that Is a good freight point in other
ways, other roads are trying to
get in.
The Katy is building across from
Moran to Piqua in the hope of getting
some of the smelter business, hauling
ore up from the Zinc fields about Jop-
lin and Galena.
a recent report in the Girard News
had it that the Frisco was anxious to
share in this same business, having
lines TO the ore fields and that it con-
templated the building of line across
from Girard via Savonburg TO lola.
Now comes the statement to the
REGIsTERfrom an Iola.man who says he
has it on excellent authority, that the

LaHarpe Gets the Smelter.

AS REGISTER readers are aware
there is contest on between LaHarpe
and Gas City over the Lanyon smelter
at Lanyonville at to whether it shall
be taxed in school district 80, Gas
City, where it has always been, or in
district SO, LaHarpe. LaHarpe car
ried the matter before the county
superintendent, asking that thefactory
be given them, as they were providing
Il school for the children of Lanyon-
vile and deserved the taxes. Miss
Omstead gave it To LaHarpe. Then
the Gas City people protested and
brought an appeal before the county
commissioners, Before the board
acted on it the lawyers on both sides
got together and decided to let Gas
City have the tax for 1901, the smelter
then to go to the LaHarpe district.
This gives Gas City about $500 this
and will add that much to LaHarpe's
school revenue hereafter.

for the preliminary survey for forty
eight mile road from Pittsburg to
lola, covering practically the same
territory proposed in the Frisco
plans.
If all these roads come to lola this
town will have five lines but thetrouble
is that they will not be through lines,
simply paralleling each other and
seeking share of the freight haul in
to town. Some of them will come and
if lola grows five more years as she is
now growing and has grown the past
five they will all come.
