Wichita Kas-, April 19.-''There viii be
two hundred and fifty teams at work

That is what ". c. Edwards confiden-
tial agent Of Arthur Z. Stilwen said
He further stated that there would be

One viii build west and the other east
The iron for the new line will be deliv-
cred here at Wichita. and the track will
be laid both ways from here It will
make lively times when the work is COM

Mr.. Edwards was jubiIant over the
prospect Of soon getting to work here at
Michlta- lie said most of the farmers
were inclined to do the right thing about
the right of way They want the Orient
and they realize that the people must
have secured the right of way through
several farms east of the city.
1t was learned from Mr. Edwards that

Mr.. Edwards said that a very large Sec
ton of the road through Harper county
was already graded and that when work
was commenced mere people would be sur
prised at the rapid manner in which il
would be carried forward. His idea seemed
TO be that Wichita would be the center

people had encouraged the promoters OF
