GOOD TEAM AT X. S. A. @.
Baseball Prospects Were Never Bet
ter Than Now.

Manhattan, Kan, March pa
rather unusual sight may be witness
ed at Athletic park each day where
three college athletic teams are prac-
ticing The football squad is working
under the direction of Captain Mont
gomery; the track team under Coach
Ward and the baseball squad under
Coach Mike" Ahearn.
The prospects of the baseball team
are especially bright this year. Ten
men of last years team are still in
school and two who were members of
the team two years ago. In addition
there is an unusually large number of
new men.
Captain Miller will probably do the
catching although r. Cassell, who
caught three years ago is trying for
the place. w. Strong is a new man
who has had considerable experience
and is showing up exceptionally well.
pitchers are numerous but the
chances are that only a couple Of them
will make good. Mallon and Hayes of
last years team will be on the team
as will also McCandless, a new man
from the western part of the state.
Wells. Higin botham, Savage and
shelton are also working out and may
make the team. At first base Haynes

team two years ago, and Hunter, a

Prof Nelson came to Lindsborg in

active in politics. In 1898 he was elect

years. Subsequently he returned TO

RIO GRANDE EXTENDING.
Are Planning to Build 200 Mile Line
to Gallup.

Denver, Col, March 2-Pre1imin-
airy surveys for the extension of the
Rio Grande Western railway from
Pennington to Gallup, N. NJ to tap
new coal fields and a prosperous sheep
district, have been made. The pro-
posed line will be about 200 miles in
length and will give the Denver &
Rio Grande connections with the
Santa Fe at Gallup. The former road
will by this means receive the long
haul on some of the shipments de-
stined to points in Arizona on the
Santa Fe.
Immense coal deposits were recent
~ unearthed south of Durango,
Colorado. The Denver & Rio Grande
through subsidiary companies, has
secured control of much of the coal
land. The logical markets for this
fuel are in New Mexico; Arizona and
the southern part of California. By
making connections with the Santa
Fe the coal may be sent by a direct
route to Arizona and California.
The first intimation of the proposed
extension from Pennington to Gallup
is given in the balance sheet OF the
Denver & Rio Grande railway of No
vember 80, 1906, which has just been
made public. Charges for several adj
vance surveys are recorded. The
principal one is the Gallup extension.
Other advance surveys are from
Sargents, a station near Marshall
pass, to White Pine, camp several
miles from the main line of the com
pany. A survey for extensions to the
La Plata lines in the San Juan coun-
try, another for the Waminuche pass
line, and for the Pando second track.
Pando lies west of Tennessee pass.
The Denver & Rio Grande railway
is improving it's main east and west
line in anticipation of the completion
of the Western Pacific, building from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco
when the Denver & Rio Grande will
be used as one of the principal links
in the George J. Gould transconti-
mental railroad

This is the third case within one

evenly distributed, had been placed
on that one point. Edwards is AZ

ond base Cave, who led the team in
batting last year with an average of

the place. At third Mallon and KahI

Cunningham will be at short unless

FOR SHORTAGE RELIEF.
Great Efforts Being Put Forth by
American Car Company.

Jefferson, Ind, March 22.-Evi-
dences are everywhere apparent that
desperate efforts are being made by
the railroads to relieve the car short
age, and 1t would seem reasonable to
assume that within few months-at
least by the time the Forthcoming
crop moving season is at hand-the
general situation will be very material
ly improved. Nearly every car build
ing and equipment supply concern in
the country is flooded with orders. The
American Car & Foundry company's
plant in this city is turning out miles
of freight cars. Delivery of 1000 box
cars of $4,000 pound capacity is being
made to the Norfolk & Western from
this plant, and a like number of coal
cars for the same company are being
built at the Hedgewisch. Illinois, plant.
At Jacksonville work is being
rushed on 1000 cars for the Rock
Island, 1900 freight cars and so ca
booses for the Southern and several
hundred cars for the Santa Fe The
Frisco line is receiving SO cabooses
and the Santa Fe a like number The
Chesapeake & Ohio has 200 cars I'M
dergoing repairs, and other roads have
heavy orders on the books at this
plant. 1t is estimated that the output
of cars at this plant would make a
train 35 miles long.
