From the west comes a report that
the Milwaukee and st. Paul, 500 and
Northern Pacific roads are planning
extensions that will bring the three
lines into close connection and give
the first named road a route to the
Pacific northwest. 1t is said that the
st. Paul will build from Eureka, in
Mcpherson county, S. D., to Linton, n
D., a distance of 60 miles. The North
ern Pacific is to build from Mckenzie
on its main line, southwest to a juno
ton with the ST. Pauls new line at
Linton and thence to Edgeley, the ter
minus Of the Northern Pacfic's
branches and the end of the ST Paul's
Mitchell-Aberdeen line. 1t is the in
tentiOn of the Milwaukee road to con
tinUe its line from Eureka to Linton
c., 20 Bismarck. n. D., in which direc-
ton i; is headed This will not be
done for several years. Meanwhile
the Northern Pacific connection will
afford the Milwaukee its entrance into
Bismarck The extensions by the 500
Milwaukee and Northern Pacific are
to be begun as soon as spring weather
will permit. Work on each will be
pushed with SO much energy that each
extension will be completed with
trains running, before the end of 1902

ON THE RAIL.


By the use of a new air brake on
the Burlington trains may be stopped
in three-fOuTths the distance re
uuired by the older devices. The
brake has been in use some time and
has been pronounced a success.
The management of the Northwest
ern road has presented to st.
Stephens Episcopal mission in Racine,
the old wooden depot building which
served the road for many years, but
which will soon be abandoned for
the new $4,000 station now in course
of construction. The building has
been accepted by the mission people
and will soon be moved to another
site
Officers Of the Chicago and North
western road are instructing the
employees Of the system on the coming
change in the code of signals that is
to be made about April l. One of the
signals has already been changed and
others will be made as soon as the
men are familiar with them. The
work of familiarizing the 10000 or
$4,000 employees Of the system with
the new or standard code of signals
will be big task. Fifteen or twenty
division superintendent, train dis
patches, conductors and engineers of
the system aer now in Chicago study
ing the new signals. Among those
are attending the meetings are: T.
A Lawson. superintendent Of the Wis
consin division; w. e. Morse, super
intendent of the Galena division: W.
D. CantillOn, superintendent of the
Minnesota and Dakota division.
No more through cars will be
operated between Chicago or Kansas
Santa Fe road. For a number of rea-
sons the officers of this company have
decided to abandon the through sleep
ing car service to the Mexican CAPT
tai. The principal cause of the change
was because of the length of the run
which was found to be too long. The
cars could not be kept clean. The re-
cent laws passed by the Mexican gov
eminent requiring all supplies for
these ears to be purchased in that
country and also requiring trainmen
10 be able to speak the Spanish
Ial~"age we're also factors. The
service that is to be abandoned is the
longest through car line in the world
the one-way distance being nearly
5000 miles from Chicago and $500
from Kansas City. Il was established
about a year ago and was extensively
advertised.
Hereafter walters in dining cars and
in eating -houses connected with the
Ea2ta Fa railroad will not be permit

The management of the Northwest
ern road has determined to adopt the
standard code of railway signals for
its entire system The first circular
Just issued relative to the matter pro-
idese that on and after Feb 2 green
signals will be abolished in so far as
their present use indicates a special
train and white signals will be substi-
tuted therefor. This is one of the
more important changes affecting tram
operation, and the management desires
that the men shall become accustomed
to it before other changes are made.
The code which is being put in is
known as the American Railway assO-
citation code, and one of the objects Of
this code is to eliminate the use of the
color red except to indicate danger
When the code is in operation upon a
railway system a display of red
signal in any way necessitates an in
slant stop. At present special trains
carry on the engine pilot a green flag
by day and a green light by night to
indicate that they are specials, but
hereafter the green lights will be dis
placed by white Probably the next
change will in the character of the
light which is used to indicate sec
tons of trains.

A delegation of our local four

lug alley in the Plaza block Thurs.
day evening. Some of the fair

as "bowlers," and after little
more experience will probably
manage to keep the ballson the al

The cattle in the Arkansas Val.
ley are.in excellent condition not
withstanding the drouth during
the summer months. Up IN the
Wet Mountain valley the farmers
are manifesting considerable anxi-
ETY. because many Of the cattle
there are dying from the effects Of
eating poisonous weeds. The loss
already is very heavy. There is
quite shortage Of range grass,
and many OF the heavier cattlemen
are shipping their cattle to the
eastern plains of Kansas to be led
during the winter. The hay crop
there this year was considerably

The Otero Irrigation District
election, to decide whether or not
to bond the district in the sum OF
5000, 900 70. the purpose OF pur-
chasing the Otero canal, establish
ing reservoirs, and making other
improvements, took place last
Tuesday between the hours OF 8
a. m, and B p. III. There were
sixty-two votes cast ont OF a pos
sible seventy, and all were in favor
Of the proposition. OF the eight
residents in the district who did
not vote, three were away from
home and one was unable to cast
his vote on account of being ill.
From this it appears that the SEN
timent is practically unanimous
in favor of the bonding PROPOSE
ton.
Work is to be commenced at
once cleaning out and repairing the
Otero canal between the Apishapa
and Timpas creek, farmers along
the route having agreed to accept
bonds in payment for their work
until cash funds are available. II
is not anticipated that there will
be much difficulty in efecting the
sale of the bonds and as the i'm
provement of the Otero canal
means much to the future of La
Junta every citizen of this COM
munity who is interested in its
material welfare should take an

Oil magnates are becoming
quite as common as railroad men
in La Junta. and seem to have the
same penchsnt for talking "shop"
whenever they meet on the street.
Instead Of .'engine leaks" and
"busted drawbars" however, the
oil men talk OF location certificates,
driving stakes, and the .'cranberry
formation" the drill went through
yesterday in the we'll south OF
town. Some of our citizens are
becoming quite "daffy" on the oil
question, although there has not
as yet been a sign Of the oleagan
Gus fluid discovered. Some OF the
oil magnates have already sold out
and others are making prepara
tons to so out Of the peanut busi-
ness. being seemingly confident
that "gusber" will be struck in
few days that will wreck the der
rick.
The success that has attended
the La unta Oil & Gas Company
in selling stock has enthused
another select coterie of La Jnnta-
ties and on Thursday evening they
held a private meeting at the
court house and organized the
"Arkansas Valley Oil and Gas
Company" with capital stock of
SIS, 1000. divided into 1900. 900
shares, which is to be incorporated
under the laws of Wyoming. The
directors named are G. ). Thomp-
son, N. 5. Larsen, j, b. Pearce,
c. F. Kendall, and w. E. Andrews.
The new company has about 1000
acres of land located in the vicin
ity Of the original oil company's
territory. and as soon as the in
corporation papers are received
will place block Of stock upon
the market. AS soon as sufficient.
funds are secured drilling opera
tions will commence.

inches Of space, or about four and
one half columns Of the TRIBUNE.
They will have to he published in
at least one newspaper in each

able to work their graft with the
secretary OF state. We would like

good reason.

licans and democrats, and are as
follows:
