A FAD THAT HAS FADED AWAY.
THE COLLECTING OF POSTERS NO LONGER
POPULAR.

has passed away?" asked the dealer. There is not
one poster collector to-day where there were a

Yet the posters to be more elaborate and
beautiful than they were in the days when that
young Englishman was astonishing the world with
his curious creations in yellow and purple and

stopped collecting them?''
ASK me something easy was the dealers
answer. II know that it is no longer a fad and
that's all, except that I'm glad of it,"
''And why are you gIad?'' said the woman for

Three or four years ago these posters would
not have been up ten minutes before some steady
customer would demand them. They did not think
or buying the magazine advertised; they only
wanted the poster. There is more artistic
merit In the posters OF to-day. and the style Of
printing is better but people don't want them

Then the dealer took down a dozen JULY posters

Rock Island Trying to Reach
San Diego.
Forced the Santa Fe TO Plan an
Extension.
CHA VALLEY ROUTE.
Choice Territory Open For the
First Occupant.
Rock Island Said to Have Plans
Well Laid.
CHA VALLEY ROUTE.

There is little doubt that the Santa
Fe is planning to build the $50 mile ex-
tension south from Casa Grande, Ariz..
as stated in last Tuesdays State
Journal
1t begins to look as though the new
move by the Santa Fe is due to a fear
that the Rock Island viii try to occupy
the valley Of the ella river by an ex-
tension from FL Paso to San Diego,
Cal The Santa Fe not desiring to
lose such a valuabl foothold in the
rich mining and timber country, is
making efforts to anticipate the pos
sibie move by the Rock Island.
The extension of the Rock Island
from Liberal to FL Paso is the act
which has stirred the Santa Fe to ac-
ton. This extension is now nearing
completion, and Will be ready for op
GRAFTON by January I. a combination
is said to have been effected between
the Rock Island and the Phelps, Dodge
q Co. copper mining syndicate. The
Phelps company is now building a line
from Bisbee, Ariz.. to FL Paso. Another
company, called the San Diego Eastern.
is building a road from San Diego to
Yuma.
1t is stated that Rock Island engi-
neers have already explored the coun-
try between Phoenix and Yuma, and
have made plans for the extension OF
the Phelps line from BiSbee to Yuma
the Santa F'e also has a cOvetous eye.
Rumor has it that the san Diego East
ern is in reality being built for the
Rock Island.
This chain of circumstances seems to
indicate very strongly that the Rock
Island is about to gain its long desired
objective Pacific coast harbOr- The
immense increase in the Oriental COM
merce is a powerful incentive for reach
ing a good Pacific coast opening.
The people of San Diego firmly be-
lieve that they Will soon have the Rock
Island connection, and think that San
Diego is destined to be one of three
great Pacific harbors, San Francisco
and Portland being the others.
In connection with the Rock Island
extension from Liberal. Kas., to a con
nection with the White Oaks road a
new coal line. 40 miles in length, is
to he built. The branch road will leave
the main line at Liberty station. about
twenty miles southwest of the Cana
dian river crossing, and extend to the
northern part of Colfax county, New
Mexico. The Rock Island now owns
the extensive Dawson coal fields in
COlfax county and expects to secure
not only enough fuel to supply large
portion of its western lines demand,
but also considerable for sale to the
Southern Pacific. Work on the coal
line viii be commenced as soon as the
main line extension is completed.

DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.
FIambeau Club Says Death of McKin-
lev Is q National Calamity

The following resolutions were passed
by the Kansas Democratic F'lambeau
club at regular meeting Tuesday
night:
Whereas. The people of our country
have been plunged into profound grief
and sorrow by the dastardly murder OF
our president, at a time when we We're
at peace with the world, in full concord
and harmony at home, and enjoying
the full blessings of prosperous times
and good government; and,
Whereas, The deed was committed by
an open and avowed anarchist while
enjoying the blessings of this free and
enlightened government, who boldly
proclaimed to the world that it was
done in the name of and in the futher-
ance of anarchy.
Therefore, We the members of the
Kansas Democratic Flambeap club, be-
ing deeply sensible of the great nation
al calamity, do hereby resolve:
First-That by the death of President
Mckinley this country has lost wise
and patriotic ruler, who in his admin
istration of public affairs has won for
himself the love and admiration Of ev-
cry American citizen, and has taught
foreign nations to respect the American
flag.
Second-That in every station of his
life, which our deceased president has
filed, whether as private citizen, or sol
duty that he has merited the respect
and praise Of his fellow men so that
his career should ever be an inspiration
to the youth of our country.
Third-That we condemn in I'M
measured terms the social and political
doctrines that inspired this atrocious
murder, and believe that they are dan
gerous to the well-being Of society and
destructive Of free government and we
earnestly protest that every man, wo-
man and child in this country should be
compelled to respect and be in full
sympathy with the laws of our coun-
try and respect our flag, and if they
do not do so they should be dealt with
as public enemies.

been the subject of considerable critic

made about it prompted Harry Bone.

up the law on this subject and show it
as authority for the course in not
draping the federal building. In speak

the State Journal he said: Section 3

that hereafter no building owned or
