stated that the contract for it's construction has not yet been let. It appears that the Western Union Telegraph Company and some other line are in a quan- dary over the matter, and it is suggested to THE TRIBUNE by 8 prominent official that it may re- suit in the railroad company simply putting up a telephone line. He said that railroads have begun the use of telephones in many places with very satisfac- tory results.
 It seems that some system of communication will be necessary before good train service can be instituted. Butit is a short job, as the posts can be distributed by the work trains, and it is not probable that this delay will stand in the way of the earliest possible train service.
 While the track is yet necessa- rially rough, as is that of all new lines, yet immensely heavy trains are being pulled over it at fairly good gait and it is apparent that it will be fine track as soon as time and use can settle the road bed. The work is all of a highly substantial nature and ample protection will be afforded fast trains.

Railroads Consolidate.

The St. Louis & San Francisco railroad and the Kansas City, Fit. Scott 6; Memphis have consoli- dated, or rather the former has bought out the latter and the two great lines will soon be operated under one system.
 Discussing the effects of the big deal, the Kansas City Star says.
 "The Frisco and Memphis sys- tems will maintain seperate iden- tity for the present at least, and will be managed by seperate set of officials.
 The general offices of the Mem phis will be continued in Kansas City. Later it is expected both properties will be absolutely merged into one company, with one set of officials and a new name.
 The Memphis has practically two lines between Springfield and this city, the main line and the Clinton division, known as the Kansas City, Clinton and Springfield railway, which ex- tends to Ash Grove from Olathe, Kans. The Clinton branch is paralleled by the Frisco on the east. Both the Frisco and the Clinton branch have agencies and stations at Belton, Harrisonville, Clinton, Lowry City, Osceola and Walnut Grove. Both lines also reach Springfield, Joplin, Galena and Webb City.
 The consolidation makes these double agencies and parellel tracks unnecessary. Agencies will be consolidated at the towns named and the railroad shops at Springfield and the roundhouses at other junction points will also be consolidated.
 The plan is to abandon the Clinton division of the Memphis between Ash Grove and Belton, Mo-, and to use the Frisco tracks from Springfield to Belton. The rails of the Clinton division will be torn up if the law permits, if not one train a day will be operat- ed each way over that division in order to conform with the law.
 Among the plans in connection with the consolidation is an ex- tension of the Memphis railroad for distance of about 12 miles from Miami, I. IT., to Wyandotte on the Frisco. This will give Kansas City short line to many points in Oklahoma and the In dian Territory and to Paris, Dem- son, Sherman, Dallas, Houston and Galveston in Texas. The Aurora connection of the two roads affords a short line to all the territory reached by the Fris : co. The Ellsworth, Kan, branch of the Frisco runs through Witch- ita and taps rich wheat belt. The Frisco also gets the advantages of the Memphis line from Spring field to Memphis and Birming- ham. The lines of the new sys- tenn, as shown on a map radiate in all directions like a spider s legs.'

GREGORY THE AGENT.
The Man Who Will Sell Railroad
 Tick cts in Green Forest.

The Man Who Will Sell Railroad
 Tickets in Green Forest.
 THE TRIBUNE is glad to be able to announce this week that w. E. Gregory will be the Green Forest agent and operator.
 This statement is based upon information received from both the manager of the railroad nd Mr. Gregory himself.
 MT. Gregory's closest friends here have known for some time that the job was fairly at his dis posal, but action in the matter has been delayed on account of MT. Gregory's service papers for the past three years being tied up in the office of the general superintendent of the Sante Fe system, and he was unable to pro- duce them as requested by Mr. West, the manager of the St. l.. < N. A. road. A letter from Mir. Gregory Monday evening brought the news to us that the delay ed papers had been secured and forwarded to Mr. West, which makes it thoroughly evident to us that there is now nothing lacking for Mr. Gregory's appointment in regular order.
 THE TRIBUNE publishers, along with Mr. Gregory's hosts of other friends of his boyhood days, will be glad to welcome his return to his old home town, to enter upon a business that was only dreamed of when he moved his residence from among us some 1T years ago.
 As we have stated before, Mr. Gregory is in every way a suit able man for the place, being g. thoroughly up- to- date railroader and a sociable accommodating business gentleman, who, we are sure, will be disposed to do any thing he can consistently for the the up-building of his old home l town.
 In appointing MT. Gregory to this position, Mr. West has un- questionably given consideration to the wishes of the people of Green Forest, as petition was sent him several weeks ago, signed by most all the business men of town, asking favorable consideration of MT. Gregory's application, with the explanation that the movement was entirely unknown and unsolicited on the part of MT. Gregory. While Mr. Gregory's recommendations and his excellent business like letters would commend him anywhere, yet there were other applica- tions in for the place from good men, some of them with a pretty good 'spull," <" and it is only reasonable to suppose that MT. Gregory's friends in Green For est may have had something to do with tipping the scales in his favor.
 At any rate, our people feel thankful to the railroad com pany for appointing such an acceptable agent for our town, a man whom we know to be ready to join with us in pushing the best interests of Green Forest.
 At present MT. Gregory is sta- tion agent for the Sante Fe at the town of Greenland, Colo. He did not seek this position for want of employment. He simply wants to come home, where he can give attention to his aged parents, who reside near town, and once more enjoy the association of the people among whom he was born and reared.
The Green Forest tribune., 1901-03-09

| else. If the building is construct ed according to the plans it will be one of the most beautiful and convenient in the world. I have not seen all the state capitols, but 1 have seen those that are most admired, and do not hesitate to say that if ours is completed as designed it will be the handsom- est in the United States. Others are larger and more expensive but in unity of design and grace of proportion ours will excel them all. It's erection will do more to raise our state in the worlds esteem than anything else that could be done.
 ''It has been suggested that now that the plans are made, an ordinary contractor could com plete the edifice. Those who speak thus have certainly never seen the plans for this or any oth- CT monumental structure. For our state capitol more that 800 drawings have been made, pro- viding with exquisite taste and in finite labor for every smallest de- tail. There is not contractor in the country who would not be absolutely helpless if this wilder ness of drawings were turned over to him. There is not an archi- tect save him from whose brain they eminatd who could grasn their full meaning without months of study. To any one else they are only a bewildering mass of beautiful patterns.
 "And while l am on the, sub- jectI beg to say a few words about the fees of the architect, as allowed by the board. Monu- mental architecture demands a high and unusual order of talent, and special order of training that few have received. Such talents command a high price in any market. A general architect is as essential in the erecting of a monumental building as gen. eral in the conduct of an army He is the brain that guides the whole. Who can impute the value of Gen. Lee at the head of an army? 10000 men under him would be worth 10000 under an untried commander.
 "So it is, in the erection of a public edifice. If you have a competent architect who grasps the plan as a whole and in all it's details, and who supervises every step in the progress of the work, you have noble monument to transmit. to posterity. Without such an architect you have a building which is an eyesore while it stands, and whose struct- ural defects condemn it to an early fall.
 ssIf the present architect were discharged another would have to be hired at as high a price; and, in point of fact no buildings are entirely satisfactory save those which, like the Parthenon at Athens, have been constructed by the man who designed them; :; for no one can carry out perfectly another's plans.
 'And in monumental architec- ture only small part of the arch itect' s fee is retained by the arch itect-in- chief. He has a great corps of assistants whom he must pay. Such work demands the service of many men. The rates are uniform throughout the coun- try, and are the result of reason and expereince. ;
 But the letter is already too long, and haven't mentioned the | legislature. But is is not neces- sary. Excepting the extension they have done nothing worthy of mention the past week. We hope it. will be different the next. An Honest Medicine for La Grippe.
