New Train Service.

Effective January 1, 1910, new
trans-continental train will be es-
tablished by splitting No. 9 at Kan
sas City into two trains, one for
Colorado and one for California SER
vice, the latter to make equally as
good time as the California Limited.
1t is the intention to make this
! a high-class train, although it will
not be for the exclusive use of
first-class passengers as are Nos.
and 4. 1t will carry through Chi
cago and Kansas City California
tourist cars of the very latest de-
sign, having a large dressing-room
for ladies and a smoking room. This
new train will give the Santa Fe
faster and finer tourist car SER
vice than has any other road.
The new train will leave Kansas
City about 10 O'Clock at night and
will go via La Junta until the eat
ing houses on the Belen cutoff are
completed, which will probably be
about April. 1910. Old No. 9 from
Kansas City will be called No. IL
and will run to Denver on the pre-
sent No. schedule. Nos. $50 and
$40 will be extended from Syracuse
to Dodge City. with schedules slight.

At the National Good Roads con-
in January, a movement will be in
augurated to get through congress
law for national registration of
motor cars. The states which now
license these vehicles are jealous of
their privileges. and in a matter
of this kind congress men are apt
to remember the folks at home.
But good would be likely to come
OF discussion of good roads in all
parts of the country and a better
understanding might be arrived at
with respect to state laws govern
ing both roads and automobiles.I In
the meantime the motor car men
are gaining allies in an unexpected
quarter.
In the recent past the farmers
have bitterly resented the invasion
of their roads by devil wagons"
driving furiously along, frightening
horses, running over chickens and
filing the atmosphere with n villain
Gus smell of gasoline. But the
farmers in many districts are becom-
ing converted from their desire to
shoot the chauffeur on sight They
are getting automobiles for them
selves. and this alone enhances their
interest in good roads.
The farmer who has an auto can
vfn
out his horse. He can live in town
and go quickly every day to the
lands he cultivates. He can ex-
perience the delights of 10y rid
ing" with a clear conscience, pro-
vided he keeps within the speed
limit. But to get the most out of
his machine he must have good
roads. Good roads and the auto
are close partners.
The auto for the farmer spells
prosperity. The American farmer
has prospered beyond comparison
with those of his class anywhere
else in the world. His industry
and the general prosperity of the
country coupled with good prices
for the products of his industry,
has enabled him to enjoy more of
the comforts. the conveniences and
the luxuries than is possible any
where else in the world. And he
| ought to appreciate the conditions
and policies which have made this
| possible.-National Farmer.
