REGULAR SERVICE TO HAMPTON
Track for the Short Line" Laid Near
Iy to Sheffield.


Special to Times kcpubliran
Hampton. Feb. Irregular train
service on the Dcs Moines, Iowa Falls
& Northern, the Short Line. is es-
tablished to this place. Altho track is
laid nearly to Sheffield. il is not ex-
pected that regular trains will run
farther than this city before spring.
This is the road that secured the levy
of 80 mill tax several years ago on
the condition that regular trains should
be running to Hampton by December
81, 1906. The tax was forfeited by
reason of noncompletion of the track,
which. in fact was not completed I'M
til late last summer. Trains We're run
for few days during the state fair,
but aside from that the only service
has been on construction trains. The
Inaugural ton of regular service by this
road will be a great accommodation to
residents of this county, giving direct
line to Des Moines, whereas one change
of cars has heretofore been necessary
to reach the capital city, whatsoever
route was chosen.
