company in extendin- its system into
the north Pacific coast country. The
company recently authorized a bond
issue Of $500.000.000, the largest in the
history Of American railroads, and ii
comes from unquestioned sources that
fully one-third of that amount is to be
used in extending its lines from Mon

lieve that James ]. Hill, who controls
the Burlington, will also enter the Har-
riman territory in Oregon and Cali
fornia, but this is not generally cred
tied. However, the report of the ex-
tension of the system shows the
degree of confidence the railroad
builders have in the resources and
future of this rich and only partly de-
veloped country and that this belief Is
to be expressed in big undertakings.
There are more miles Of railroad under
construction and projected in Wash

while Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
British Columbia also show enormous

as the Inland Empire to Puget Sound

EMPoRIA's OLD TOWN WELL.
1t Is Unearthed by Excavators and
Then Filled Up.

Emporia, Aug 29.-In excavating
| for the paving on Commercial street
Friday, an old town well was uncov-
cred. The workmen knew the well
was in the street, and for several days,
Bill Wilcox, who is foreman of the
grading gang, has been looking for it,
but it was not till yesterday morning
that the plowshare hit the big flag
stones that for quarter of a century
have covered what was once part of
Emporia's water system. The well Is
about ten feet outside the curb, on the
line between the Ramseyer and Rora-
baugh store buildings.
The stones were dragged from the
top, and Wilcox let down tape
line into the water that stood within
ten feet of the rim. About thirty
seven feet of water is in the well,
which is nearly fifty feet deep. four
feet across and is lined with large
blocks of stone. Immediately men
began shoveling dirt and macadam
from the street into the hole. 1t
will be filled to within two feet of the
top and then filled to grade with

RAISED STREET CROSSINGS.

Raised street crossings are de-

Sixth avenue near the end OF the
paved section OF the street.
The cedar block pavement is being
torn up preparatory to repaving with
brick. The street crossings are to be
of cement. At the street intersections
of Lincoln, Lane and West the low
grade of West Sixth avenue results in
an impounding of water at every

HARD FOR AUDITORS.
New Accounting Reports of Commits
sion Are Complex.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-With the ap-
proach of annual meetings the rail-
roads are finding great deal of trou-
BILE in compiling their reports to con-
form with all the requirements of the
interstate commerce commission. Un-
less they issue two reports. one after
the plan followed in previous years
and one under the new accounting
system to be used this year for the
first time, 1t will be extremely difficult
for the stockholder to get any idea OF
what his company has been doing by
comparison with last year.
The railroads made strong protests
against the new accounting system
and asked that notifications be made,
but their efforts were of no avail. Ac-
ocrdingly, the railroad accountants
are hard at work trying to comply
with the commissions order. The
railroad year ends June 80, and most
of the annual meetings will be held
within few weeks.
