ON THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
Railroad Board Found Much Good
Track Snd Some Bad.

The Atchison Globe comments az
follows on the work which the rail-
road commissioners have been doing
TINS week on the Missouri Pacific rail-
way Inspection:

bed of the Missouri Pacific between
Atchison and the Nebraska line. The
Kansas board of railroad commission
their return to Atchison at 1880
O'Clock last evening. This opinion
of the roadbed was given a reporter
by two of the three commissioners.
Messrs- KanaveI and Ryan. Mr.
kanavel used the word excellent
in referring to the track. On the
river division, between Atchison and
Kansas City, which they covered yes
terday morning, they make a different
report, although 1t is not as hard on
the company as some people expected
They report three or four bad
places. Mr.. Ryan says one of the
worst pieces of track Is in the vicinity
of the Kansas City waterworks: that
the condition should be improved be-
tween LeaVenworth Junction and
Leavenworth, and in one or two
places between Leavenworth and
Atchison. while we found i'm
perfect track conditions between Kan
sas City ana Atchison," said Mr.. Kama
vel" We found workmen making re-
pairs where they were needed. In one
place the bad condition of the track
was due to high water, and in an
other place to a recent derailment." 1t
never looks like the people are get
ting a square deal when the railroad
commissioners go on tour of inspec-
ton in the private cars of the rail-
road officials, and Mr.. Kanavel didn't
lose an opportunity to explain that the |
law provides that railroads must fur
nish the commissioners trains in |
which to get over the different lines |
The commissioners remained in Atchi- |
son last night, and left this morning |
for a tour of the entire Central Branch |
which will require several days

TO KEEP NEOsHO IN BANKS.
Government Engineers Recommend n
Series of Dykes.

Washington, Sept. 14.-The agricul-
tural department has notified Congress-
man Scott. of Kansas, that its engineers
had completed a survey of the Neosho
valley from Emporia to the state line
on the south, and had devised what 1t
believed to be an effectual plan to pre-
vent the overflow of that river
On account of the great damage done
to crops in that valley by floods, Mr.
Scott got an appropriation of 81, 900 from
congress for survey with a view to
prevention. The government engineers
claim that a system of dykes which
they have devised will prevent any
damage from floods. They estimate
that 1t will cost SO an acre for the
overlooked district, to establish the sys-
tenn.
Engineer ]. o. White. director of the
project, and Congressman Scott Will
hold a series of meetings this fall In
all the leading towns of the valley to
talk the matter over with the farmers
The improvement, if made will not be
under government supervision nor will
the government foot any part of the bill
The dykes must be built under the new
drainage act of Kansas, and the farm
ers who are benefited must pay the
OcSt.
