ORIENT PROGRESS.
officials Say Over 1000 Miles Will
soon Be in OneratiOn


Officials of the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient say that the 619 miles of
road which they have in operation viii
be increased to LOO miles soon after
the beginning of the year. In Mexico
they have covered one-half of the terri
tory they intend to occupy. They have
completed there 325 miles of the 633
miles they are to build. In constructing
this 325 miles many obstacles have been
overcome. The grade over the noun
tains there is 21a per cent, compensated
by curves. This is less than that of
the Santa Fe in several places. It is
about the same as that of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
Local traffic will be the strong fea-
ture of the road 1t will not cross any
barren wastes. Sonora, they say is to
Mexico what California is to this coun-
try The whole state can be irrigated
easily. It produces ninety-seven diff
ferent kinds of hard wood, as well as all
kinds of tropical fruit. Green corn and
Strawberries may be had there every
day in the year. There are 100000
acres of anthracite coal in the state.
Arrangements have been made with the
Hamburg American line fer steamers
to run in connection with the road. They
will be put into service as soon as the
road is completed. There also viii be
direct line of steamers to the Orient.

AIDS IN THE FIGHT.

Chicago, July 21.-Chicago railroad
officials have found it necessary to ask
the Interstate commerce commission
to grant them more time in preparing
their answers to the list of questions
touching upon their relations with the
various elevators and grain dealers do
ing business upon their lines. In all
instances the commission has granted
its permission and the answers. which
were all to have been field by July 20.
Will now be accepted up to August 20.
The inquiry of the commission
promises to be one of the most com
plete that body has ever undertaken.
and the list of questions covers almost
every scope of possible relations be-
tween a railroad and its patrons. In
fact so extensive is the inquiry that a
prominent railroad official estimated
that it will cost each road in the
neighborhood of $1,000 to furnish the
information desired.
From the list of questions submitted
to the roads. it appears that the fed
era1 authorities are determined to
learn just what are the relations be-
tween the various roads and the eleva-
tor concerns that have property upon
their lines. This is indicated particu-
larly by the demand that each road
to Its deals with eleven of the largest
grain dealers with which it does bust
ness.
For a long time there have been sus-
pfciOns that several of the big eleVa-
tor companies have been receiving
special favors from certain lines, and
that these elevator companies either
had interests in the railroads or the
railroad companies had interest in the
elevators. Evidence of this suspicion
was shown not long since when one of
the railroads was accused of making
a special rate on grain after a certain
grain concern had bought up all the
visible grain in the territory affected.
Sticl1ney Aids Government.
A. B. Stickney, president of the Chi
cago Great Western road. is believed
to be one of the stanchest supporters
of the government in the proposed
fight against the elevator companies
and their relations with the railroads.
This attitude is believed to be the re-
suit of the Great Western mans quar-
rel with the Union Pacific road over its
contract with the Peavey Elevator
company providing for the elevation
of grain at the Missouri river.
Whether any prosecutions will re-
suit from the investigation now in
progress will depend entirely upon
what is elected by the inquiry If it
is found that any railroad is favoring
one grain concern at the expense of
others or is in any way. directly or in
directly, paying rebates to the grain
men, action in the courts will follow.

to the Salina Northwestern railroad.
THE people of Salina and the country

SaIina north or northwest. Sometime
ago through efforts of local Salina men

At this juncture another set of survey

be The Salina & Northwestern, which
was the name of the company already
in the field. The new company is an
unknown quantity but the general be-
lief is that it is a Rock Island move
and that the objective point is a connec-

In conversation with the writer re-

who is a stockholder in the original
company, says that his people are at

it is a move owing to the men doing
the work being closely connected with
the Rock Island interests Mr. Webster
says the original company is going
ahead in good faith and expects to
commence to throw dirt this fall. Bonds
have been voted from the northern ter
minal within two counties of Salina and
no hitch has occurred so far. The peo-
pie along the line are assisting the line
