Frisco Believed to Be Planning
Line Into Mexico.
Probably viii Be Through Al
lance With National Railways.
FIRST STEP MADE.
Road Already Has Arrange
mentS for Texas Service.
Other Items OF General Inter
est in Traffic World.

Local railroad officials are watching
the most recent maneuvers of the
Frisco railroad, by which it is believed
the latter line soon will be operating
through passenger service from st.
Louis and Kansas City, the two gate
ways of the west, to the City of Mex
leo, making that road one of the great
est of southwestern carriers.
The first step which railroad men see
in the expansion of the Frisco is the
recent alliance with the Hartman lines
ir Texas. By using the Houston &
Texas Central from Sherman to Gal
weston the Frisco is enabled to run
through passenger trains from the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers to Gal
weston, and rapidly are cutting into
the business heretofore divided by the
Santa Fe, Rock Island and Katy. This
service which was started October 16 is
already doing a heavy business.
With this step already completed the
Frisco is looking across the Rio Grande
into the Mexican Republic. From
Galveston to the Rio Grande the Frisco
has the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mex
leo, 450 miles from Galveston 20
Brownsville. The recently completed
bridge over the Rio Grande from
Brownsville, to Matamoras enables the
various carriers to cross at this point.
traffic alliance with the National rail
ways Of Mexico. Portions of this COM
pany's line from Matamoras to Tam
pico already are built and the remain
der will be completed within a year.
With this stretch completed the remain
der of the Friscos expansion will be
the completion of the line from Tam
pico to the City of Mexico. This line
has been surveyed several times. One
survey made several years ago is said
to be looked upon with the most IA
vor. This was made by the old Next
can Central road before the National
railways merger. This route, while it
would entail expensive construction
work, is believed to be the most practi-
cable.
1t is expected that the Frisco will
bear a portion of the expense in this
line, as this would make it's interests
more permanent. A conference between
National railways and Frisco officials
is to be held soon in the City of Mex

REPAIR WORK NEARLY DONE.
One More Week Will Complete Kansas
City-AtchisOn Work.

Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 4.-The
work on the Missouri Pacific tracks
between Kansas City and Atchison is
progressing in good shape. For the
last two months there has been extra
large gangs working on the tracks.
With the amount of business and
the number of trains that the missouri
Pacific has to run over these tracks
they have determined to place their
tracks in the best of condition. In fact
the Increase in the traffic on that
branch demands that the road be
placed in the best of condition.
The old style bridges are being re-
modelled. The new bridges are of con-
crete and steel instead of the former
material wood which was used IN the
construction of all railroad bridges,
except those over rivers. Where ever
it is found that a drain can be MADE,
concrete culverts are put in.
The railroad tracks are built next TO
the bank of the Missouri river and
there has been some bad places where
the current worked into the river
bank This causes the bank to cave
awav and makes it dangerous to run
the heavy trains over these places.
Riprapping is being done at each place
where it looks the least bit like the
current would wash.
One thing that is being looked after
more than anything else in the work
on the tracks is the drainage. In all
low places perfect drainage systems
are being made to carry away all the
water and keep the track from getting
soft.
The Missouri Pacific is not only
making improvements in the tracks
hut adding better rolling stock on their
river branch. The new freight en-
gines that have just been put on the
heavy pulls between Atchfson and
Kansas City. are the latest types of
engines. These engines are now being
BROUGHT directly to this branch when
bought. New mail cars have been put
on the mail trains.

HERINGTON-sALINA SERVICE.
Rock Island Gives Four Trains Day
for Connections.

-alina. Kan, Nov. 4.-Beginning Sun
dav there will be two trains each day
from Salina to Harrington and return
on IT, Rock Island, which will connect
with the through trains for the east,
south and west, while heretofore there
has been only one train which would
afford these connections.
I'VE will put two crews on the two
passenger trains said Mr.. White
more, "and they will lay over in Sa-
lima.
1.-THE train which leaves here at 1920,
No. $50, will connect with the trains
for Kansas City, Topeka, Chicago and
intermediate points. The second crew
will leave here at 12:45 and connect at
Herington with the Golden State Linn
tied for Kansas City ST. Louis and
Chicago, and will also connect with
local train No. SO at Kansas City; also
the Golden State Limited to California.
mo 535 will arrive here at $40 as at
present. No 537 will arrive here at 8
o'clock instead of at 2:25 as now. Both
the Salina trains will connect from the
east and west.
Il am now going to make an effort t.
have the train which leaves here at
12:45 changed to about 1:15 and ad
dressed a letter to the general passen-
ger agent on this subject today.
This change Sunday will give the
people a service on the Rock Island
which they never enjoyed before

TOO BUSY TO SELL STOCK.
Salina Business Men Will Wait Until
Election Is Over.

Salina, Kan, Nov. 4.-The local men
who have agreed to sell $15O,0O0
worth of stock for the proposed Motor
Grand Interurban railroad to be built
north and south through Salina, are
not making any particular effort to
sell the stock at this time, but the
majority of the Salina merchants are
talking enthusiastically about the
proposition.
Mayor Kirkland, one of the commit
tee who volunteered to help sell the
stock, said Tuesday afternoon:
I'VE thought it best not to try to do
anything with regard to selling the
stock until after election, and we ex-
pect then to begin finding buyers for
the stock. The interest will be greater
after election than it is now. I am sure.
believe 1t is the best proposition in
the railroad line that has ever been
presented to the people of Salina, and
it ought to be a sure go this time. We
should have little difficulty in selling
the stock"

construction of the final line will be
completed within two and one-halr
years. The Frisco expects to be run

register Of Deeds NJ. G. Markham
and his helpers have about finished
the tax books for 1910 and there Is a
good increase along almost every
line. This is especially the case Of the
total property valuation and the total
taxes.
Mr.. Markham thinks that the in
crease this year is especially good,
considering the fact that there is no
new assessment of property this year.
1t being what he calls an off year.
The total property valuation in the
county this year is s2s,612.s2O. the in
crease this year being over a million
four hundred thousand dollars. Last
year the. total takes, not including the
special school taxes, was SlSS,002.20.
This year the taxes will amount to
S20l ,6SS.43, the Increase over the past
year being sl3.6Se.23. The increase in
the special school tax this year is a
dime less than s46i 90. this years as
scssment being s6.666.17.
The Live Stock.
There are s13,06S heads OF live stock
in the county, the value being put on
the stock totaling $343.094. The itim-
lied counts show 1874 horses, s.04s
cows, 4,6s2 hogs. 1.1SS mules. 10
sheep, 81 goats. worth $1,000, which
shows that some goats are worth
more than q dollar. and s asses. The
dogs outside of Durham township
numbers 100 and the value is s1.246.
Other Items.
The valuation OF the farming uten-
sils is given at s22,2l2. and other tools
add 5000 TO this. The household and
furniture is valued at only s39o.4e0
and at the time the taxes were listed
there were over $4,000 worth Of
