PUSHING CONSTRUCTION.
Orient Line viii Have LOO Miles in
Operation by January 1.

Ol5CEaAAOn Dy
Vice President Dickinson Of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient line says
that the six hundred and nineteen
miles of the road now in operation will
be increased to eleven hundred miles
soon after January 1. In Mexico half
of the territory is now covered with
a completed line. 325 Of the $50 miles
being now finished. It had always
been understood that it was almost i'm
possible TO cross the mountains in Mex
ico but the work is now half accom-
plished. The grade - Il per cent.
compensated by curves, which is less
than that of the Santa Fe in several
places. It Is about the same as the
Great Northern and the North ern
Pacific.
Mr.. Dickinson says: .The tonnage
is in sight for this new road and it will
be enormo Gus. Its local business will
be its strong feature. for we do not
have to cross any barren wastes like
some of the transcontinental lines.
Sonora is to Mexico what California
Is to this country. The state is $50 by
so miles with eleven rivers crossing II,
so that the whole can be irrigated.
Ninety-seven varieties of hardwood
are to be found, and all kinds of. trop-
zeal fruit. Green corn and strawber-
ries can be had every day in the year.
Sisal similar to our hemp, returns 10
per cent on a valuation Of $500 per
acre. In Sonora may be found 1000
600 acres of anthracite coal, which
will give us a heavy volume of ton
mage.
ssThe Hamburg American line has
made a contract with US for steamers,
which will be placed in service as
soon as our line is completed. We
shall also have a direct line of steam
ers to the Orient. All the work under
contract is progressing satisfactorily at
every point

months. The contracts are said TO have

several -four brokers who are located in
Kansas City. and who have succeeded
in keeping the export -four rates in a

RUSHING WORK ON THE T. & \.
Extension From Onaga to NEarysviIIe
TO Be Built Quickly.

Onaga, Kan, July 10.-The aggressive
ness with which the work is being push
ed on the extension OF the Topeka &
Northwestern railroad, northward from
this place, is evidence that the line will
be built in quick time between here and
Marysville.
For the past week men and tools have
been arriving here by the carloads. A
number of subcontractors are here. Sc
curing work under Fitzpatrick Bros. n.
C. Anderson, who has charge of the
clerical work for them, has his head
quarters here. and is securing and dis
tributing supplies for the men. He
handles stuff in carload lots. Geo. J.
Hoerrmann, who is superintendent of
construction for the Kipatricks is also
here, and is busy with subcontrac tors
arranging for camps and supplies and
the portion of work the men are to Go.
Between here and the Marshall coun-
ty line four camps have already been
established and preparations are being
made for as many more. Kilpa trick S
camp will be under the direct charge Of
Denison & Shaffer, and will be on the
northwest of here. Arrangements will
be made for about 125 men, and double
that number can be accommodated if
necessary.
Inc DIG cut ana Dig NIL. covering ABOUT
three miles. starts northward from the
south line of the Louis DAWN farm. This
viii be the headquarter camp. The first
camp will be just north of town. It
will cover some four miles of work,
largely teams, but with a steam shovel
for some of the heavier cuts. c. c.
Howell. with a two mile contract. will
have camp on the F. c. Kuehl place,
At present his outfit is about 20 teams
and 80 men The camp furthest north
in this county will be located on the
Hathaway place, and will be in charge
of John Mccullough. He has about
three miles of work.
The camp supplies mentioned are now
on the ground and have begun work at
the big I'LL. A large amount of prelim-
mary work will be done by teams. From
the outlook at present it is safe TO as
sumo that within 80 days 500 men will
be at work between this place and
Frankfort. Every effort will be made to
start the work at this end of the line
as quickly as possible. because the bulk
of the time requiring work is on this
end. The subcontractors are all brought

DROWNED IN THE RAIN.
Burros Didn't Have Sense Enough
to Come In.

Washington. July 10.-Some time
ago the insular bureau of the war de-
partment embarked upon the expert
ment of sending into the Philippines a
few American donkeys, known as
s'burros" for use among the Spanish
speaking people. Mail advices from
the islands now state that seven. or
about half of the consignment were
drowned in the torrential rains of the
wet" season, the animals being
caught out in the open and not know
ing how to shelter themselves like the
native beasts of burden. The natives,
who were a little afraid Of the animals,
declared that the burros had drowned
because they did not have sense
enough to come in out OF the rain.

Twelve Hundred Red Men to BE En-

Albuquerque, n. NJ. July 10.-The
Santa Fe is preparing to use about
twelve hundred Indian laborers on the
coast lines this summer, the most Of
them being employed in New Mexico
and Arizona It is said that Indian
labor on the whole has proved much
more satisfactory than either Mexican
or Japanese. The first camp of these
Indians will be established on the
Grand Canyon line. which Is to be en-
tirely rebuilt In the past most of the
Indians who have been occupied with
railroad work have been employed by
contractors who by various manipula-
tions, especially by permitting whisky
to be sold to them. managed to get
most of the money paid them for
wages. Under the new plan they are
employed by the railroad direct and
are looked after by a government
agent. who sees that liquor is
allowed them Thus the red man gets
the benefit OF his money.
