GRADING COMPLETED TO JOPLIN.
Lonisiana'Western to Decide ON Fur
ther Course this Week.

Track laying has begun on the
Louisiana and Western extension
which is practically the same as the
Southern Pacific railroad, from the
Junction just outside the city limits to
joplin, which is about ten miles
southeast of Welsh, says the Lake
Charles American.
The road has completed, to date,
the laying of about mile of track
and will make greater progress along
this line during the coming week
when an additional crew of "hump-
ers' will be put to work. The grad
ing has been almost entirely complet-
Fed. There remains but two miles to
hnlsh this end of the work to joplin.
Engineer w. l.. Stubs, who is in
charge of the work, was seen by an
american reporter Friday morning
to whom he stated that matters were
nicely, and new corps
OF surveyors would be in the field
next week. He thinks that at that
time the surveys will have been en-
tlrely completed and the route to the
terminus settled.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE I'M LOVE
WITH WESTERN CANADA.
They Say the Land There Is the Fines,
ON Earth.


A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency of
Mr.. j. S. Crawford, the Canadian Gov
eminent representative at Kansas City,
to visit Western Canada. and whether
from Missouri or Kansas the story is
always the same-they are pleased with
the new country being opened up.
Isaac II. Levagood writes from Dds
bury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kansas
yesterday at Didsbury, and took them
home with me and took them out in
the afternoon and showed them some
of the finest land that lays on top OF
Gods green earth. They are more than
pleased with this country. They stayed
with me last night; this morning took
them to Didsbury, and they went ON
north. When they come back they are
coming to my place and am going to
help them to run some lines and they
are going to locate in sight of my house.
There have been over 1900 acres Of
land changed hands here in our neigh
borhood this spring. When l located
here last fall was the furthest back
of any of the settlers; today am iii
the center of the settlement We have
thirty-six children that are of school
age in our, district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house: The longer we stay
here the better we like the country;
that is the way with everybody here.
They all seem to be satisfied and doing
well. have talked with great many
men here and they told me that they
had less than $50 when they got here,
and today they have got 100 acres of
good land and five or six hundred dol
lars worth of stock. Crops are looking
fine here. think this will be a good
winter wheat country. One of my
neighbors has small piece and it looks
fine.
