CARS TO RUN SEPT. |
Work on South Emporia Line
Commenced Yesterday
LAYING STEEL NEXT WEEK
Mile of Track Will Be Com
pIeted in Three Months

Unless unforeseen conditions arise the
cars will be running on the new South
Emporia street line by September l.
Work nthis line began yesterday and
already there are ties enough on the
ground for one thousand feet of track
They intend to begin the laying of steel
within a week.
The Wichita Railroad and Light COM
pany have an extra force of fifty men
with teams at work repairing their track
Almost all Of the needed repairs are now
made and as fast as possible this force
will be transferred to the new South EN-
poria line 1t is the intention to rush
the construction work through and get
the line in operation as soon as possible.
All of the material is either here or or
deTed. All OF the ties are here. Enough
Of the rails are piled near the Rock Island
tracks to construct the line to the
tracks and the rest will be here by the
time they are needed. The trolley wires
and other material TO be used are or
dered. The poles are here and are be-
ing made ready to be set in the ground.
Superintendent Morrison says that when
the line is finished it viii be one of the
best constructed pieces of track in the
city The best ties and heavy steel rails
are to be used. All of the poles will be
stripped and painted before they are
placed in the ground. This work is al
ready begun.
The proposed line will be a mile long
and will extend from the corner of EN-
poria and Douglas south to Lincoln street.
This line has been long needed in this
part of the city, as it viii give service
to a large district which can not be
reached by the lines now in operation
All of the residents want the line now
and will encourage the company to hurry
the work as fast as possible. When COM
pleted these people viii make this good
paying line.
For long time the street car company
has been talking of line on this street,
but had never been able to obtain
franchise until this spring. They Sc
cured the franchise May g. ordered the
material at once and begun construction
work yesterday. They deserve a great
deal of praise for the energy and enthus-
iasm they have shown. The completion Of
this line will add considerable to the value
of the property of the Wichita Railroad
and Light company and to the city
of Wichita.

CHARTER FOR ROAD
Wellington and Blackwell
Business Men Form Co.
Fl. SMITH ARK TO WICHITA
Passing Through Coal FIELDS
of Indian Territory

Wichita has another railroad to the
southeast coal fields IN sight 1t is the
Fort Smith, Blackwell, wellington and
Northwestern Railroad company, WHICH
was granted a charter Monday in Okla
homa. The company proposes to build a
line from Fort Smith, Ark. through the
coal fields Of the Creek and Cherokee ma
lions to Cleveland, o. T.; thence through
the Usage and Ponca nations TO Black
well From Blackwell the line is to run
north to Wellington and Wichita, and
andother is to be extended to Perry, o. 7.
The incorporates are: george H. Hunter,
S. P. Kramer, W. a. Wren and a. Graf,
Wellington, Kan, and J. ". Randall, J.
L. Waite and .. S. Rose, Blackwell.
All Of these men are wen known in
Wichita. Several weeks ago a committee
Of Blackwell and Wellington people came
here to talk with Wichita parties about
building a railroad 10 South 8IcAlester
through their towns. The Wichita and
Southern proposed route was east Of the
Arkansas river. The committees wanted
the route changed TO pass through their
towns and were willing TO help build the
line as far as they were able.
The committee made one visit to this
city and Immediately set about organic
ing a company of their own as the Wich-
tia people did not think it best TO make
the change Of route at that time. The
business men of the two towns met and
organized a company and are preparing
to build the line.
1t was stated here yesterday by a man
close 10 the affairs Of some of those in
the board Of directors Of the company
that arrangements had been partially
completed whereby capital wouI- be Sc
cured from the same trust company in
Philadelphia that furnished the money
10 build the Choctaw railroad in Okla
bona. The trust company, it is said,
made it a condition, however, that the
road was TO be extended to Wichita.
This proposition is the fifth railroad to
be built from southern Kansas into the
coal fields Of the Indian Territory with
the plan to extend it to connection
with the Kansas City Southern at or near
Fort Smith. and thus make a short line
20 tidewater. Out Of the five one or two
may be built within a short time The
Wichita-Winfeld road has a right-of-
way through the Usage nation and it is
believed that arrangements will be com
pIeted before the end Of the month for
fnanciering the project. The yelling
ton-Blackwell people are also determined
70 have a line into the coal fields and it
IS said that the Nebraska, Kansas and
Gulf road is now circulating petitions in
some counties to call special elections to
vote bonds for the road.

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Was Granted M. r. Diver Against City
Yesterday.

Upon the application of NJ. R. Diver, a
temporary injunction was granted yes
terday against the city of Wichita re-
straining the city from placing a set of
public scales and scale house in front of
the property of Mr.. Diver, on Waco
avenue, just north of Douglas. Mr.. Diver
states that the city is planning to place
a site of scales at that point, which ac-
ton, he says, would greatly injure his
property, which is very valuable, and
would deprive him of both ingress and
egress. Besides this, he states that if a
scale house is built as planned it will
be impossible to build a sidewalk be-
tween il and the property.

PROSPERITY REleNs THERE.
Pecos Valley Is Coming to the
Front.

Avery Turner, general manager Of the
Pecos Valley line of the Santa Fe system,
was in the city yesterday. He is not
only loyal Santa Fe man but is coming
to the front as a boomer for the great
Pecos valley.
Il could not. if I attempted it, portray
to your mind the changes that have been
wrought in the Pecos valley. 1t is re-
garded as a cattle country, but great
changes are being made by irrigation.
1t is being demonstrated that the country
along the Santa Fe will soon become the
greatest fruit growing country in the
world. People put down wells and Sc
cure artesian water with which the land
is irrigated. Everybody is prosperous out
there and the Pecos Valley line is do
ing he largest business in its history.

Education Counts,

According to an estimate made from
the latest census returns there are in
the United States 40, 7S2,007 persons
over twenty one years old. These are
divided educationally about as fol-
lows:
Glass /. Without school training,
1852, 498.
Class 2. With only common school
training, 32,862,5 sol.
Class 3. With common and high
school training, 2,165, 357.
Class 4. With college or higher
education added, 1,07l,20

The 2, 165, 357 of class 3 furnish l, 245.
The 1,071, POI of class 4 furnish S, 1853.
1t thus appears:
LIST. That an upeducated child has
one chance in $50, 900 of attaining dis
tinction as factor in the progress OF
the age.
End. That a common school educa-
ton will increase his chances nearly
four times.
3rd. That q high school training
will increase the chances of the com.
mon school boy twenty-three times,
giving him eighty-seven times the
chance of the uneducated.
4th. That a college education in.
creases the chances of the high school
boy nine times, giving him 2l9 times
the chance of the common school boy
and more than 800 times the chance OF
the unframed.
Is it surprising fact that Of 1852
"notables" thus gathered together
4,810 proved to be full graduates OF
college?
