1.-THE ONLY WY
To the worlds Fair. ST. Louis.

Fittingly and permanently eommemo-
rating the vast Importance of the Louisi-
IA p urchase Exposition. the year 1904
will witness the completion of the new
line Of The Chicago < Alton Railway be-
tween Kansas CITY and st. Louis. Ope-
ration over this new road, which will be
the short line between Kansas City and
St. Louis, will commence about June 10,
I9O4-onlv short time later than the
opening of the Worlds Fair.
In time of completion, and also In
other WAYS. the Atoms new line Is typi-
cal of the Fair. The St. Louis Expo
sition will show the highest examples OF
every product OF all kinds in the world
as will The Chicago & Alton new line
show the highest standard to which the
worlds railways can be brought. As the
Worlds fair will illustrate the processes
which make American goods preferred
in the markets of the world, so thu
Chicago & Alton will illustrate in al
details-constrne equipment and op
eration--the accepted standards, whicl
serve as models for the worlds eommo
carriers.

In conformity with Judge Stewards

piled much valuable engineering data
with respect to the capacity OF the canals

additional number OF acres under each
canal susceptible OF reclamation. Every
canal and ditch in the valley has been
carefully surveyed. In all the state en-

total acreage OF l0l 1868 Is now un-

canals to water l23, ,s79.6 acres in ad-
dition TO the area already reclaimed. II
will thus be seen that the aggregate

be reclaimed By canals and bitches

no danger here from heavy rains during
{ the period when it is necessary for the
beet to be without water. On the con
