RAILROAD MEN BELIEVE 1T
They Think Rock Island Cutoff Will
Be Built.

The notice in yesterday morning s
Eagle that the Rock Island proposed TO
build a new line from Hutchinson TO
Kechi. six miles north of this city caus-
ed a good deal of talk among the railroad
people in this city.
1t was the general opinion among the
railroad people that the line will be built
and that it viii prove very convenient
and profitable cut off for the Rock Island.
The railroad people were. hOE of the
opinion that the new line would be built
from the north part of this city to Hutch
inson instead of from Kechi
superintendent A. II. Webb of the Mis-
souri, Pacific said he believed the Rock
Island would build from Hutchinson to
some point near this city. He said Since
taw road they hauled coal from that
road to their Ell Paso line and they had
to go around by way of Herington. He
said they could go up about the Burton
car works, north Of this city and build to
a point little north of Hutchinson and
use the same terminal facilities that they
now had and this would be considera bic
of saving because terminal facilities
in towns of any size cost a good deal of
money.
He also pointed out that by the build
ing Of the proposed cut off that the Rock
Island could get coal cheaper to its FL
Paso line and then they would have a
shorter haul from the salt fields at
Hutchinson TO their Texas line. There
was some satisfaction among the people

ADJUSTED.
RAILWAYS Have Gotten Into Good
Shape.

The railways regard the month now
ended, as one of the busiest Januarys
they have ever had. Usually, at this
time, business has been a great deal
less active, and the number Of ship
ments, so soon after Christmas, much
small than at this time. This has
made it hard for the railways to ac-
complish the work of repairing and
replacing equipment, and Mt the same
time, attend to catching up, In the
matter of delayed shipments, some of
which had been waiting for months
for this chance.
Nearly all of the roads, however,
have managed. in ane way or another,
to attend repairs, and hurry along
their shipments, and while the present
snow has been the cause of some
delay. the roads are all in better con
dition, with reference to the equip
ment and congestion of traffic, than
was believed possible n month ago.

Predict Well For
MiIt W. Smith.
Claim That He Has
Strong Support
In His Candidacy For County
Clerkship Nomination.

1t Is apparent to an observer Of the
county political situation that Mr..
Afilt w. Smith, of Akron, has strong
support in his campaign for the nomi-
nation as the Republican candidate
for County Clerk This Is the first
time he has ever been before the peo-
pie asking for Office, and his friends
believe his record as Republican,
and his wide acquaintance and popu-
larity both in city and county, make
him candidate with excellent chances
for winning.
Mr.. Smith has been in the employ
of the American Cereal Co. for over
12 years. During that time he has met
in a business way with hundreds of
farmers throughout the county, and
this acquaintance, his friends say adds
strength to his candidacy. For some
years Mr.. Smith has been superin-
tendent of the grain elevators of the
American Cereal Co., on Mill st. He
is 81 years of age and has lived In
Akron all his life. With his mother,
he resides at 205 South Arlington st.
Mr.. Smith is a graduate of the Ak
ron High School and it Is one of the
chief arguments of his supporters
that his business training has been of
character which will add to his fit
ness for holding the Office to which
he aspires.
