MISSOURI PACIFIC WAKES Up
Will Go After saiipa Business Which
Union Pacific Neglects.

Junction City, Kas., Nov. 13.-After
next Sunday the Union Pacific will dis
continue two passenger trains west of
here. The night plug" passenger
train will run between Kansas City
and Junction City instead of to Salina
and return as the trains have run
heretofore. Railroad men here say
that it is proba BILE that the day plug"
between Kansas City and Salina will
be taken ofS soon.
In order to cope with the Union Pa
cif1c in the struggle for traffic suprem-
scy in central Kansas, the Missouri
Pacific intends to begin running its
through passenger trains over the Sa-
lima loop instead of over the cutoff
from Gypsum City to Marquette. This
would put the Missouri Pacific in bet
ter shape to handle that local business
and the traffic between Salina and
Toueka.
It is also said that an additional train
will be put on from Kansas City to
Council Grove and Hoisington. There
is another story current that the Rock
Island will put on a passenger from
salina through to Chickasha, I. T.. to
replace the passenger between Salina
and Harrington, recently discontinued.
