Die track from Topeka to Kansas City,
one OF the finest pieces of track in the
world. 1t also has an, air, line from
Topeka to the northwest, over which
cut,on great through traffic will even
tually pass.
The Topeka Southwestern railway
from Council Grove to Topeka. will
give the Missouri Pacific and the I'm
ION Pacific much desired cutoff and
VIII centralize great interests in To-
peka. 1t will mean great railroad
yards, larger repair shops, office build
ings-in short, the possibilities as far
as topeka Is concerned, are unlimited.
The writer Of this article has al
ready seen plans of new passenger and
freight, depots for Topeka, in connec-
ton with the Missouri Pacific. The
river has been sounded by engineers
with the idea of crossing the same and
going on east. Now all this is chang
ed in the twinkling of an eye, by the
control of the Missouri Pacific by Har-
riman.
The line from Topeka to the east
line OF the state is already here and all
that remains to make Topeka the big
gest point on the Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific in the west is the Tope-
ka and Council Grove connecting link.
The finance committee of the Tope-
ka-Southwestern railway, composed of
such men as J. w. Robinson. Geo. w.
SIdAc, SHdS. w. MeTIldnQ, 4. n. OTOS-
by. w. c. Stephenson and DR.. W. G..
Hamilton, to-, ETC., have done Won
ders during the past ten days and
have all invested personally in the
bonds and stock of the road they are
trying to secure for Topeka. But these
gentlemen can not do 1t all. The COM
mittiee is still something like $1,000
short of the amount required to secure
the necessary right of way for the con-
struction company to go to work in
Shawnee county. The committee has
until Saturday evening to secure the
necessary $1,000 through the sale of the
first mortgage bonds and the construc-
ton company has first-class outfit on
the ground ready to 60 to work.
1T now remains to be seen II there
are enough loyal and patriotic citizens
in Topeka who will make a small in
vestment before the sun sets on Sat-
urday night and secure the building
of a road that means so much for
Topeka.
IF so it means new life, new indus
tries and a rapidly increasing popula-
ton for the capital city. If not, it
means that Topeka has reached the
goal of her ambition. Which shall it
be? Very respectfully.
b.. &C. K. HOLIDAY,
President the ka-Southwestern

NO WAGE CUT BY ERIE.
Railroad Officers Say Business Is
Improving.

New York. July 31.-The Erie Rail-
road company has issued a statement
that no cut in the wages of its en-
ployes is contemplated and that trade
and business conditions are improving.
The statement reads in part:
1--WE have been adding to our forces
of men in the operating department.
and the shops have been unusually
busy for the last month. We have been
getting our rolling stock in shape in
anticipation of largely increased bust
ness The crops are very large in the
Northwest and the reports we receive
indicate that business on the railroads
is slowly increasing and will increase
more rapidly in a few weeks.
There is a growing feeling of conf
dence throughout the country among
business mcn. and though the results
have only begun to manifest them
selves in an increased demand for men
in some of the departments. it is gen.
orally believed that the tide is on the
turn and that the business depression
is becoming a thing of the past. We
have, though the number has not yet
reached the normal, more men en-
ployed now than we have had employ
ed at any time since the beginning of
this wear"

Cast Oreson's Vote.

Portland, Or, Nov. 4.-Taft wins
Oregons electoral vote by between
$4,000 and $4,000, according to in
complete returns from 33 counties
and complete returns from Hood
River county. He carries every
county by pluralities ranging from
100 in Baker county to 5000 in Multi
nomah. The state vote stands near
$1,000 for Taft and 10000 for Bry-
an. In the Presidential election
four years ago, Oregon gave Roose-
welt 42,934 plurality, the vote for
Roosevelt being 60,455, and for
Parker 1881. Socialists, Prohi-
bitionists and Independents polled
perhaps 10000 votes in the state.
The whole vote was close to lis, 1000.
To cast Oregons four votes for
Taft the state has chosen the Repub-
lican candidates for Presidential,
electors-R. r. Butler, of Gillian
county; ]. d. Lee, of Multnomah; A.
C. Marsters, of Douglas, and Frank
J.. Miller, of Linn.
Outside Multnomah county. Taft's
lead is $1,000, his strongest coun-
ties being Marion, 400 plurality;
Lane, 1900; Washington, 1900;
Umatilla, between $50 and 1000, and
Douglas, 1000.
Scenes attending the balloting
throughout the city were devoid Of
great interest. The provisions of the
corrupt practice act were generally
regarded and the usual buttonholing
of electors at the voting places was
not observed anywhere. Voters very
