Railroad PunOrS

An Interesting story blew into the
OH 'e the first OF the week which we
give to our readers for whit it is
worth and each one can fix the value
to suit The story is that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway and the Santa
Fe have traded eaunle of branch
lines. In the deal the Santa Fe rers
the line which runs To Iuka. It. is
stated that large ams,utrt of material
TO be used in railroad construction is
being piled up at Iuka and that the
near future the Santa Fe will extend
from that town west parallel with the
lsock Island to- Dodge City or some
other convenient point.
,' II this story is true. it is apparent
that there would be no very good r-a-
son for the Santa F., to bring this
branch to Kinsiey; hat, ON the con-
trary, there would be good reasons
FOR Keeping along the south line OF
this county. Against this story il the
fact that lailroads do not often trade
branches. and the further fact that an
inquiry directed To Raiiie Wayyener
N Topeka brings out the fact tha, h..
knows nothing of the matter, and Al.
he is the general attorney for the Mis-.
s"uri Pacific it would see1n as though
be would have heard m the matter if
there was anything ia the story of
trade. There is just one thing in th..
story that seems to he tangible, nd
that l. the statement that q large.
amount OF material is being piled un
NJ Iuka. II this is true. what is il for?
