IMPROVING rHEL ct.
Great Interurban System May Some
Day Be Electrified.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The Leavenworth & Topeka railway
has been greatly improved the past sea-
son by new ties, steel and bridges, while
the bed has been ballasted in stretches.
The public little realizes the expense
of rebuilding this line and putting it in
the condition of the average branch line
in the west. Forty thousand ties per
year are being used. Topeka and Leav
enworth might cooperate with Presi-
dent Mcclellan in making this an cleo
trio line and a better paying proposition
than at present. If Topeka wants cleo
trio lines here may be an opportunity
to assist in securing good, cheap and
frequent service into Topeka from
Leavenworth. and dozen good inter-
mediate towns. President Mcclellan is
doubtless open to a business proposition
of mutual interest.
At present the road runs a mixed train
daily to Leavenworth in the morning,
returning here in the evening. The road
uses the Santa Fe tracks to Meriden,
twelve miles from Topeka.

New York, Feb. 19.-At the meeting
of the American Newspaper Pupnsn-
ers' association the famine in white
paper was discussed, and the following
resolution by Condo Hamlin, of the

carry out the suggestion that an agl-

$40, 600 toward a fund to carry on a.
national agitation for the removal or
the duty on wood pulp for paper max
ing claiming that this step was neces-
sary for the welfare Of the newspapers
in this country.
Mr.. Seitz said that the paper situa-
ton today Is steadily growing worse,
months emphasizing the predicament
of the newspapers through the opera

neers to retain it in its present place.
