Merchants Would Run Train.

Topeka-Kansas is about to try an
innovation in railway operation. The
Union Pacific company owns branch
road running from Leavenworth west.
1t is in bad repair and the train ser
vice is poor. The merchants of
Leavenworth recently asked the com
pany to establish a new tarin which
would run into Leavenworth in the
morning and out at night The com.
pany said the traffic would not justify
the additional expense.
Now the merchants have submitted
a proposition to furnish motor car
themselves and operate it on the road
in connection with the regular train
service. They have raised enough
money to buy the car and they will
even pay the cost OF its operation II
the company will agree to let it run
on the track. The revenue from the
car Is to be equally divided between
the railroad and the men who furnish
the car. The company has the propo-
sition under Amusement.
