ours. there being a central salon with
upholstered chairs. rot arranged in

Mr.. Wallace has surveyed several times

tainly looks like business for the Dodge
cut off. From appearances the survey.
ors are about TO start in on the final
survey, probably on a direct line from
Dodge City to Albuquerque.
There Is still no definite information to

now the opinion OF nearly every one In

be built out of Dodge City. Those who
are looking wise, md who claim to have

now where any day may settle the I'M.
certainty, and it is still possible, too,
that we may be guessing for month or
two yet.
From the way things are going at pres

the opinion that the cut off is something
which Is to come In the near future.
