Santa Fe to Operate Water Works at
CherrYVale.

Cherryva1e, Kas.. Dec. 13.-One horn
Of the dilemma in the water famine here
has been grasped by the Santa F'e rail-
way company, and as result the COM
pany will have a waterworks of its own.
The Santa F'e has put a force of men
and teams at work to clean out and
deepen Lake Tanko. 1t will be used as
a reservoir, and the Santa F'e will use
the water to supply its own needs here
That lake, was before known by
few is and has always been the prop
erty of the Santa Fee railway. The
water company has simply had a lease
on it, and the railway company could
terminate this lease at any time by
giving sixty days notice. Seeing that
the water company intended to do moth
ing, the Santa Fe company duly gave
the sixty days notice and took posses
sion of its own property. The Santa F'e
will spend $3.50 in cleaning and scooping
out the lake and will pipe the water to
its station and tank here. This is a
good move on the part of the railway,
as the lake will doubtless hold water
enough to supply the company's local
demands.
Since the railway has taken possess
sion of the lake the city of Cherryvale
is left without a water supply.

ROCK ISLANDS DEMAND.
Wants Denver Included in the New
Time Regulations.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The fast time prob
lem between Chicago and the western
and northwestern gatewayS is becom-
ing more complex Additional difficulty
was added when General Passenger
Agent John Sebastian of the Rock Is
land demanded that in considering the
question Denver be added and that any
solution that covered the other gate
ways must be one that will include
Denver.
To this proposition there has not been
assent and apparently there will not be.
Should this prove to be the case it is
problematical what the Rock Island
will do in view of the refusal of the
lines to include Denver. At the meet
ing called for the purpose of discussing
the situation a committee was ap-
pointed to canvass the lines and then
draw a plan or solution. This commit
tee is made up of the following: George
Charlton of the Alton, John Sebastian
of the Rock Island, P. S. Eustis of the
Burlington and w. B. Kniskern of the
Northwes tern.
If the position of the Rock Island is
strictly adhered to it is likely that the
committee will be unable to agree upon
any plan. In the discussion that oc-
CURED no solution was offered and the
interests involved were too diverse to
admit of a speedy settlement
