Santa Fe People Make Additional MeVe.
ments Toward Extending Medi.
cine Lodge Branch.
A Topeka dispatch to the Kan
;as City Journal on Friday saws:

A Topeka dispatch to the Kan
sas City Journal on Friday says:
"The Santa Fe company propos--
es to build a short cut from West
ern Kansas to the Gulf. Today it
took out a charter for the Medicine
Valley Railway company with a
capital of $3,ooo,ooo. The sub
sidiary company proposes to ex-
tend the line from Medicine Lodge
to Dodge City to connect with the
main line. 1t also proposes o
build line north from Medicine
Lodge to Great Bend. The Dodge
City branch will be ninety-hve
miles long and the Great B e d
branch seventy-flve miles.
%The Santa Fe now reaches the
Gulf with its Western business by
way of Newton. The cutoff from
Medicine Lodge to Dodge City
will shorten the distance to t h e
Gulf at least 100 miles. The Great
Bend branch is projected for the
purpose of tapping a rich agricul-
tural country.
General Attorney w. r. Smith,
who secured the charter for the
Medicine Valley company, says he
understands that work will be
commenced on the two branch lines
in the early spring.
"The directors of the new COM
pany are: f. P. Ripley, Gardiner
Lathrop and Robert Dunlap, of
Chicago; ]. E. Hurley, w. R.
Smith, 0. ]. Wood and A. A. Hurd,
of Topeka. All are Santa Fe Off

ed on the situation that this cir
cumstance is responsible for the
right Of way troubles that the Den.
yer, Kansas & Gulf are experienc-
ing lately. The fact that men who
had apparently and virtually set.
tied a month ago, are now stand
ing out for larger, and in some
instances prohibitive price, would
indicate that there is an unseen
hand hidden somewhere in close
proximity. But be that as it may
we all hope that the Santa Fe
means business.
