INTO WICHITA
BY JULY /
Orient Expects to Have 300
Miles of Line Completed Then
WORK Is BEING PUSHED
Contractors Doing Everything
to Get Line Completed.
WORK Is BEING PUSHED

A NJ. Denny. right-of-way and townsite
agent of the Kansas City, Mexico ORR
ent Railroad company, returned from a
trip through Custer, Dewey and Washita
counties, o. T., yesterday and reported
that the Orient contractors were doing
all in their power to have the track COM
pleted from the Red river TO Wichita and
in operation by the first of July of this
year. If this is done 300 miles OK the
Orient will be in operation. At the pres
EFT time there are less than seventy miles
of line to grade and seYenty-six miles of
this district are now in operation
Contractor ODonnell, who has the con-
tract for grading the line from the Red
river to the South Canadian, has little
more than 100 miles of his line graded
and ready for the bridge gangs and steel
layers, and has about thirty miles of line
yet to grade before his contract is COM
pleted. He mas ten gangs at work and
dirt is flying as fast men and teams
can move 1t, and as many teams and men
are employed as can work successfully.
Beginning on the Red river the grade is
completed through Greer and Kiowa
counties, and sixteen miles are finished
in Washita county. The country in which
WORK Is DelLB done at present IS rather
broken and some very heavy work is
necessary but the contractors feel that
they Will have their part of the work
done on schedule time.
w. c. Edwards of this city has the con-
tract for grading from Wichita TO the
South Canadian. He has the grades
completed south of Fairview and the
track layers are working south of Car
men and will be into Fairview within the
next few weeks. His gangs are working
south and the O'Donnell gangs are COM
ing north and will meet at the South
Canadian. Mr.. ODonnell has about
thirty miles to grade and Mr.. Edwards
a little more than twenty.
Mr.. Edwards has several gangs work
ing at this end of the line between Mil
ton and Wichita and new outfits are be-
ing put to work as fast as they reach
this end. At Kiowa several new outfits
were started yesterday and at other
points.
Mr.. Denny has been working on the
right-of-way and has been very success
full and expects to have the right-ofway
for the entire distance within the next
two or three weeks. The property own
ers in that section of the company's line
are very enthusiastic about the Orient
and are willing to aid ii in every way,
and it is a comparatively easy matter &c
secure the right-of-way through the ter
ritory.

FOR WICHITA HOSPITAL.
Advance Sale of Seats for Little Ty-
coon" Larger Than Anticipated.

The advance sale of tickets for the
third presentation of the comic opera,
THE Little Tycoon" by the Wichita
High school class of 1903. which will be
given at the Crawford Wednesday even
ing for the benefit of the Wichita Hos
pital, is far greater than anticipated.
Monday was the first day the tickets
were on sale and the rush for tickets
gives evidence of a crowded house to-
morrow night The excellent presenta-
ton of this spicy opera reflects great
credit on the class. under the able direc-
ton of Mr. Jack Shields. The perform
ance Saturday evening was even better
than on the first night. The electrical
effects and stage settings in the third act
were pleasing. This. with the Japanese
costumes and chorus work, made this act
entertaining and elected favorable COM
ment.
At Saturday nights performance the
climax was reached in the speciality and
chorus of I'm the Good Old Summer
Time" which was sung with more life
and spirit than at the first nights per-
Torrance, and the large audience showed
fits appreciation by giving seven encores.
and by special request of the manage.
ment. at Wednesday nights performance
the entire audience is requested to join
in the chorus of 1.-The Good Old Summer
Time" and make 1t grand chorus. The
fact that the interest increases with each
presentation is certainly gratifying to the
class OF 1903 and their director, Mr..
Shields, who has worked every afternoon
for four weeks Three weeks ago 1t
required eight hours to put on the first
act, and at Saturday nights performance
1t only required two hours and fifteen
minutes to present the entire opera
There is no doubt but the opera house
will be crowded again Wednesday even
ing. as the hundreds of Wichitans who
have not yet seen the production having
heard of the excellent presentation are
DESTROYS of attending this the last per-
formance, and at the same time contrib
ute to a worthy cause. as the proceeds
will go to the Wichita Hospital.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
At the Crawford.
THE DENVER EXPRESS.

THE DENVER EXPRESS.
With a strong dramatic story nicely
told. plenty of neat. up-to-date special
ties and wealth of beautiful scenery and
mechanic effects. The Denver Express
certainly contains every element of the
successful melodrama. No more beautiful
stage picture can be conceived than the
first act setting, representing a valley in
the heart of the Rocky mountains at sun
rise. and no more startling sensational
effect was ever introduced than the attack
of the redskins on band of emigrants
which occurs at the climax of the act
The wonderful railroad effect and the
fight for life in the last act are also
features worthy of special attention.
The Denver Express will be at the Straw
ford tonight.
