Rock Island Shops at Goodland
are Opened.
Company Pledged to Enlarge
Shops at That Point.
FIFTY HOUSES BUILT
DisbeIisve Rumor That Shops
Will Be Permanently Closed
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles

Goodland, Kas., Sept. 22.-The
most welcome sound that the people
of Goodland have heard for some
time was the familiar blast of the
Rock Island shops whistle, which
called the employees, who were laid
off August 1 by the closing of the
shops, to come back to work. The
men still here reported, and they were
put to work in their old places. The
entire shutting down put things in the
shops more or less out of joint, and
it takes little time to probably find
inches for every man.
Repair work on two engines left I'M
finished was Immediately begun.
When they are completed it is not abb
solutely known here what will be
done, but many think that the opera
ton of the shops will continue, but
will handle only light repair work.
Just now engines are being sent to
the Moline shops for a thorough over
haul. There is no question but that
the Goodland shops could be worked
to their full capacity in keeping the
rolling stock in proper condition, but
the argument for sending them east is
urged almost wholly on economic
grounds.
1t is. however, an open question
whether this economy will be in the
long run econimic. That the Moline
shops can handle SIS per cent. of the
Rock Islands work. as is reported. is
questionable. They will have to eat
this pudding to prove it. The geo
graphical location of Goodland, the
shops already here, and their capacity
to keep in repair the rolling stock on
the entire Colorado division, are eco
nomic facts to be reckoned with.
Besides this. Goodland was here be-
fore the Rock Island came. The town
and county were bonded to the c. K.
& N. railway for $4,000. upon the
promise to establish and maintain
both the shops and the division station
here. The Rock Island foreclosed on
the C. K. & N. and the subscription
to stock for which the $4,000 in
bonds was issued went with the road
as, practically, donation to the Rock
Island, which as the successor of the
former road is morally bound to full
fill this promise. One year ago the
Rock Island, by it's head officials,
urged the people of Goodland to build
fifty houses, upon the promise of en-
larging the shops. Upwards of fifty
business houses and dwellings have
been erected. We can hardly believe
that the Rock Island will violate it's
pledge.

ORIENT AT Ell DORADO.
Survey of Line Is Completed Over
New Route.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 22.-The Orient
surveyors have completed a survey for
a possible line between Ell Dorado and
Andover and find a very satisfactory
route. 1t runs about three miles south
of the town of Towanda. just south of
the school house on the Fulton place,
crosses the Whitewater near the school
house and runs southwest to Andover.
No bond proposition will be submitted
to Towanda if the road takes this
route. A bond proposition will be sub
mitted to Bruno, however, if this route
is adopted.
The surveyors are now going over
the short line between Ell Dorado and
Ellinor.
w. C. Edwards is in charge of the
bond proposition now being circulated
in the different townships calling fol
bond elections.

foreign corporation. In support of
this the statement is made that $780,
10000 out of the 100000 900 of COM

Gently by English buyers and the for

able that the foreigners will be al

practically no say in the control OF
the operation of the property.
Under the articles of Incorporation
a two-thirds majority of the preferred
stock has absolute control and can do
very much as it pleases with the prop

circumstances will this proportion Of
the preferred be parted with by the

concerned it is of very little account
