Interesting Facts in Connection
With Omaha Emporia Line
Kansas Road Forming the M
cleus Of the New Project.
KANSAS AND SOUTHERN
That is the Name Of Wheeler's
Railroad.
Memphfs and Frisco Connect
Kansas City and Texas.

In the list of railroad projects for the
year 1901, there is none that is absorbing
the attention Of the people Of Kansas
and Nebraska more than that which
has come into prominence within the
last month. the proposition to build an
air line from Omaha, Neb.. to Emporia,
kan IN the minds Of the projectors Of
the new road there is not only the plan
to divert from Kansas City and other
southwestern markets an enormous iNe
stock and agricultural trade. but ulu-
mately to extend the line to the south
possibly as far as the Gulf. 1t is no sur
prise that the immense packing, railroad
and business interests of Omaha in gem
eral should become concerned in the ven
ture, and should undertake to arouse IN
terest all along the proposed route.
But after all the interesting fact in
connection with this Omaha, Enporia &
Southern road is that a Kansas road,
known as the Kansas & Southern Is 10

stage route to the Union Pacific railroad
on the north or TO the Rock Island on
the south The Westmoreland people
had been agitating the building of 4
railroad for some time. but one way and
another the matter had been pushed
aside. But Wheatcroft had lots OF mon
ey and he soon saw an opportunity to
invest. 1t did not take long for him TO
procure an engineer and begin making
the survey for q line running north and
south through Pottawatomie county
from Blaine on the north to WamegO on
the south Not long after this it seems
Wheatcroft gave UP the undertaking,
but the people there were determined to
have railroad connections with the out
side world. After much slxirmishing
about in q legal way, the grade was I'm
ally constructed north to Blaine. a sta
ton on the Leayenworth, Kansas &
Western branch of the Union Pacific A
little more than a year ago the Kansas
& Southern was formally opened to
traffic and since has been doing a good
business.
The mileage Of this system is eight
and one-half. It's equipment consists
of two engines and ten cars. There are
no repair or construction shops and the
company has been compelled to depend
upon the courtesy OF the greater roads
for the overhauling Of its machinery.
One OF the locomotives was bought sec
ond-handed and a few months ago an
effort was made to get it repaired in the
Rock Island shops at Horton; but that
company was already rushed with re
pairs for its own motive power, and the
Kansas & Southern people had to go
elsewhere The time required for trains
in making this run of eight and a. half
miles is 50 minutes including stops at
the six stations within that distance
The accommodations Of the road are
said to be good and a heavy business is
done. considering the mileage. Thus far

DIVISION AT CLYDE.
]. D. Beachtel Gives Reasons For It's
Location There.

J. d. Beachtel, a former Missouri Pa
cific engineer. and a. man who believes
that a town should look out for it's bust
ness interests, advocates the location of
a division at Clyde when the Missouri
Pacific extends its line westward. In
the following letter he suggests some
reasons why he thinks that town is en-
titled to the division:
In regard to the division, would
state that this is Just the place for the
location of the division for the purpose
Of saving money to the Missouri Pacific
company.
1T is not railroading. nor business, to
place the division at Concordia, because
it would cause a big loss to the com
pany.
When the extension goes to Denver.
I look for the terminal of this division
to be placed at Clyde. and don't think
the tine Will be long. before it will make
the move toward Denver.
Now take our rich country around
here That has something to do with
locating division The Missouri Pa
cffic will look we'll into that matter
And now comes the matter of freight.
When the division comes here from
Greenleaf our citizens should give the
strength of their support TO the Mis-
souri, Pacific, because -Concordia would
doubtless stop shipping over that road.
and by throwing our strength that way
it would balance Up pretty well. This
is big thing.
Now there could be expended SO, 900
for a round-house. $4,000 for a depot,
$4,000 for the yards $4,000 for coal
sheds with incline, and $4,000 for stock
yards. and really at no expense to the
Missouri Pacific. In fact this-is what I
call a gain. for there would yet be
$1,000 600 saved to the company by placing
this terminal at Clyde.
These are facts. and if there are any
who doubt them. if they will call on me
at my store. L can convince them that
I am right and know what I am talking
about. J. d. REACHTEL,
