Is that instead Of raiding into the

always in the northern neck of Vir-
ginia within sight Of Washington in
the rear of his enemy's grand army,
and often in the midst Of it, distin-
guished him from merely dashing
and courageous cavalry leaders. TO

ROCK ISLAND PLANS IN TEXAS

Chicago, Jan. 25-The Rock Is
land people evidently intend to cut
a wide swath in Texas and the
southwest generally. Aside from the
announcement of the intention to
build the highly important link from
Amarillo, Texas, to Tucumcari, n.
NJ, thereby giving Memphis and
other cities new through line, it is
now said that other big improve
ments are in prospect. OHicials OF the

tive Of the New York banking house

~ to be one of the level-headed eX-
perts who determine the future i'm
ancial value and prospects of i'm
provements on a big scale in new
country, and his trip over the Rock
Island lines leaves the impression
that new fnanciering will be neces-
saIy to carry out the big plans in
view
The Amarillo-Tucumcari extension
will cost $2,000,000, and this alone
would hardly cali for any extensive
financing. # is said the line projected
out Of Quanah TO the south viii be
built this year and the Stamford and
Northwestern to be built into Dick

the north and west to connect at

Another plan is the extension from
Ardmore to Waurika IN Oklahoma,
which win open very rich mineral
and agricultural lands. This line also
Will pierce the oil fields Of Southern

TEMPERANCE AND
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Determined Effort to Make
Denver Dry by Next
Spring.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN planned
Anti-Saloon League Declares 1t
VIII Get Thirty-Thousand
Votes.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 9.-The Colo
RADIO branch of the Anti-SalOon League
yesterday announced its plans for its
campaign in this city which is looked
upon as the supreme test OF feasibility
of woman's suffrage. Efforts will be
made to submit the question of max
ing Denver totally dry to the voters
next spring Thirty thousand votes
will accomplish this result, according
to Superintendent w. E. Mclaughlin
and he believes that with the cooper
alton of the women of the city the
total should be easy to get. Speakers
at the meeting yesterday when the
proposition was launched declared
that should women fail of their sup
port, the suffrage movement through
out the country will be given a decided
set back and predicted that no other
state would endorse women's suf-
frage in the next twenty years.
