NEWS FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Santa Fe Is Making Numerous
Improvements
NEW LINE is PLANNED
About Denver Enid and Gulf
Line Connection.

An unusual amount of activity is ex-
hibited by the Santa Fe in its improve
ment work in this part of the country.
With the beginning of summer, the
Santa Fe has placed surveyors at work
locating new lines. laborers ballasting
road bed, and sbridgemen constructing
new bridges
An important report comes from Shaw
nee. Q. T. 1t is reported that surveyors
are at work locating line from Shawnee
to Owasso. The object is to make new
connection between the Oklahoma line
and the Kansas line. which will be of
great advantage for the company's traf-
fic. When General Manager Nudge was
asked as TO the intentions of the COM
pany regarding this rumoredsextension.
he replied:
Il don't know what they are doing down
Their. They may have a surveying corps
out"
This, being interpreted, means that the
Santa Fe is not yet ready to announce
its plans and if it has the Shawnee
Owasso line in view, it has not fully de-
cided to build it.
In very much the same condition is the
question of an extension of the Santa Fe
from Independence to Yates Center. Peo-
pie living at intermediate points have
sent delega tons to confer with Superin-
tendent Barnes about the matter, and
are said to have received some encour-
agement.
The proposed route of the road is to
pass through Buffalo from Yates Center
to Benedict and thence to independence.
forming a cutoff. Should such a line he
built it would mean big thing for the
country through which it would pass.
as it would allow them shipping and pas
senger service to develop the country.
With the present facilities, Buffalo can be
reached quicker by driving across country.
One of the biggest jobs which the Santa
Fe laid out for itself thiss summer is the
reballastng and general construction of
most of the Southern Kansas lines. y
great many Italian labOrers have beee
employed for this work. The surveying
pa rites are working out in all directions,
setting ballast stakes. In some places the
track will be raised. considerably. and
this will necessitate the building of new
bridges Considerable new STEEL will also
be laid in Kansas.

At the Crawford.


The very best OF its kind lie the uni
versal opinion of the large audience who
attended the Crawford last night TO see
the musical COMEDY, A Night on Broad
way presented by Chas. A. Murray and
Ollie Mack and a most excellent company.
The play is of the usual style of farce
comedies. barJen of plot and depending
chiefly on the speciaIties. but in all is
far above the average of this class of en-
tertainments. The comedy parts were
in no manner overdone. as is usually the
case, but were done so cleverly that the
audience were kept in roars Of laughter.
The scenery was one of the most pleas
ing features of the performance. the first
scene of Broadway, New York. on
windy day was one of the most novel
scenes ever produced here. The torch
light parade and confetti march, was
grand, pretty md amusing. The second

was pleasing. The last scene, of River
side drive, would be hard to equal. There
were several new. catchy songs. which
seemed to make decided hit. for the APP
plause did not cease until the singers
were exhausted and could not respond
to another encore One could not justly
make a comparison of the work Of Chas
Murray and ollie Mack, for they were
both simply fine and if anyone failed
to laugh il was no ia Ut Of theirs. Miss

here. The chorus was well trained and

the scenery pretty and there was surely
