speech here last night Senator Bris-
tow, who is stumping the state in the
interest of United States Senator La
Toilette, again denounced Senator Aid
rich for his stand on the tariff ques-
ton, referring in particular to the
mercerized cotton schedule and re-
peated what he had said in regard to
the Rhode Island senator's stand on
the rubber tariff rates.
Senator BriStow declared that the
Republican party had not lived up to
its pledge to revise the tariff.
1.-The Republican party of which I
am member did not revise the tariff
as it promised to revise it,
He charged that the additional in
crease of duty of 1 cent on mercerized
cotton had been dictated by Senator
Aldrich in face of the fact that mer-
cerized cotton can be manufactured in
New England one-eighth of a cent
cheaper a yard than abroad.
He declared that Aldrich favored
this as a stock jobbing scheme.

WORKING ON ELECTRIC LINE.
Grading On valley Interurban Miles
Ahead of Track Layers.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 11.-Every
nerve in all the varied departments of
the Arkansas Valley Interurban rail-
road and the Interurban Construction
company is now straining toward the
pushing forward of all units of the
work. Today a large crew of men will
commence the work of putting up the
trolley poles, the work of distributing
them from their assembly at Valley
Center having already commenced.
The crossing of the Frisco tracks at
Valley Center is now completed, and
the line of track will be finished at
once through the city of Valley Center,
SO that the extending of the tracking
from that point northward may be
done easily and the two tied on at
once.

that the company is thinking seriously
of installing through service between
Salina and Wichita.
Salina had such service over the
Missouri Pacific until the 2-cent fare
law went into effect in Kansas. The
company announced that the Salina-
Wichita train did not pay after the 2
CEN fare law became effective and
the train was taken off.
During the last few months there
has been large amount of agitation
for better passenger train service be-
tween Salina and Wichita. 1t would
seem that this agitation has mad some
effect on the Missouri Pacific.
The only decent route to Wichita
now is over the Rock Island by the
way of Harrington and Marion. The
Rock Island train leaves Salina at
1920 O'Clock a. m. and arrives at
Wichita late in the afternoon.
