il that part Of the Missouri Pacific system
which links the middle West with the
West. II was built in the early sos, but
consolidated in its present form in 1883.
The Gould idea OF gaining a trans-conti-
mental line first appears in the control OF
the Kansas and Colorado. This extended
their railroad domain from Kansas City
and Omaha westward 10 Pueblo, Colo,
and in addition gave them valuable feed
ers into the rich grain growing sections
Of southern Kansas and Oklahoma. The
road was obviously built 20 sell. 1t was
always handicapped by the lack OF funds,
as its credit was not good and its earning
capacity not far enough developed TO allow
large appropriations from revenue. Pro-

present property, as well as 10 the con-
struction of acquisition Of branch lines.
Undoubtedly, the best part Of the sum
will go directly for improvements. 1t would
mean about $4,000 per mile for the main
line.
In the writer's opinion, the Colorado, d-
vision today ranks lowest in physical con-
dition Of any OF the Gould system. Little
work has been done on track the past
year. and it is very green and soft on

ARTICLE ".

The Missouri Pacific is the parent Of the
Gould lines. las creation dates back 10
is4s. when the Pacific Railway OF Missouri
was Chartered TO build from ST Louis to
Kansan City. The reads equipment was
shipped up the Missouri River By beat and
unloadeh at the western terminus. a fact TO
which rhe Inland Waterways commission
refers now to illustrate the feasibility of
water routes declared .Unnavigable after
SaalToaCs were built. but the busy arteries

From the state the Pacific railway received
a bonus Of S,oo5.eCO. equivalent to &4,lO4
per mile. ana a land grant Of 10000
acres.
Having teen so closely identified with the
growth. OF Missouri. the Missouri Pacific is
today looked upon as a state Institution.
and there Ia considerable local interest and
pride IN H. notwithstanding the bitter at
lacks that politicians have been making In
the past tKo or three years. Nothing Of
prestEe. so far as IL has been learned. Is
lost beyond the point of recovery. A little
fuGicious missionary work would restore H.
This Is one of the first matters to which
the Missouri Pacific management should
nut its sand II must be admitted that. TO
date. il has apparently not appreciated its
responsibility Seventy-five per cent Of the
unfavorable statements made 10 the writer
about the Missouri Pacific were, on careful
Investigation, found 10 be untrue. but II
was impressive how little the Missouri
Pacific Officials had themselves done to
correct the re~ports-Which were directly
affecting their revenues.
After an inspection OF the largest part OF
the Gould system, the fact Is plainly borne
In on one that the Missouri Pacific proper

LOVE SUIT IN STATE COURT
Case for Alienation of Affection il
Transferred from Federal
Jurfsdfction.

The federal courts have taken another
adjournment until Thursday morning.
through the fact that no cases are ready
for trial. The case of Clarence f Camp
bell against Nellie V. Peck for alienation
OF the affection OF his wife that was to
come to trial Wednesday morning has been
dismissed. The case was refiled in the
state court, where is was originally begun.
As a consequence the jury was excused
until Thursday morning, and Judge T.. c.
Munger will not be here until that time.
The petition filed by Campbell in district
court asked for 1900 damages, asserting
that Nellie Peck. his sister-in-law. had in
duced his wife. Mary, to leave him by cir
c~ulating false stories about him. The
amount was made S2OO0 to prevent the de-
PENDANTS from taking it to federal court
