PIONEERS AS RoADMAKERs.
Location of the Santa Fe Trail Not t,
Be Improved ON by Engineers.

Present indications point to the
construction of several hundred miles
of suburban electric railroads in Kan
sas this year. The demand for inter
urban lines in the thick1y settled
farming districts is so urgent that in
many localities in the wheat belt the
farmers are subscribing for stock and
will raise practically enough money to
build the lines.
This is particularly true in Central
Kansas, where north and south lines
are needed to connect with the main
lines of railroads, which cross the
State from east to west. A network
of electric lines connecting Newton,
on the Santa Fe. with Salina and Abb
lene, on the Union Pacific, will be
built as soon as spring weather comes.
This system will tap the greatest
wheat region of Kansas, covering
nearly 200 miles.
With Kansas City as the starting
point, three lines are proposed to run
west to Topeka, and later into the
central part of the State One of
them, the Strang line, will be pushed
in the spring out along the old Santa
Fe trail.
1t is remarkable how the old plains
men who laid out the Santa Fe trail
across Kansas and into New Mexico
were able to pick out the most favor
able grades and proceed on the most
advantageous lines simply by using
|. their eyes.
"We tried to beat their surveying
with our engineers, W. B. Strang
said, "but we finally ended by follow
ing the old trail made by the wheels
of the wagon trains. Eleven times
our engineers surveyed other lines,
but they finally concluded that the
grades selected by the men without
the knowledge of mathematics fifty
years ago were the most practical,
and hence we are keeping very near
to the old Santa Fe trail in the
building of our line to the West from
Kansas City,"
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad generally follows the old
Santa Fe trail in it's 450 miles of

east line of Kansas near the business
part of Kansas City all the way to the
western border this remarkable fea-
ture Of the old Santa Fe trail is ap-
parent.
The same engineering skill is re-
vealed in the trail which passes
through the vast stretch of sandhills,
extending over 200 miles or more
through the western half of the State.
The same Judgment and wisdom in
avoiding bad grades as was manifest.
ed in Eastern Kansas is shown here.
Invariably the old plainsmen found
the path of least resistance and yet
held down the distance, for the saving
of a few miles in the great stretch of
desert country lying between indie.

PATTERSON RESIGNS NOMINA
TION.
Withdraws From Tennessee Demo-
cratic Ticket.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 1O.-Gov-
nor M. r. Patterson tonight withdrew
from the race to succeed himself as
Governor OF Tennessee. Governor
Patterson was the nominee Of the
regular" faction of the Democratic
party and has been bitterly opposed
by the Independent State wide Pro
hibition Democrats. who. in coalition
with the Republicans, elected a
State judiciary last month, defeating
ticket for which Governor Patter-
son made a strenuous campaign of
the State. On Wednesday next the
Independents meet here in State Con-
vention, a majority of the delegates
coming instructed to vote for the en-
dorsement of B. w. Hooper, the Re-
publican nominee for Governor. Gov
ernor Patterson in his address, an
nouncing his withdrawal, declares he
will not be an obstacle in the way
OF his party's success at the polls, nor
will he willingly contribute in any
way to the possibility Of success OF
the Republicans in Tennessee. He
withdraws in the interest Of har-
mony and that Democratic factions
may get together to prevent the loss
Of the State in November.
He makes reference to interference
of Republican President in Ten
nessee politics. In an interview fol-
lowing the issuance Of the statement
Governor Patterson declares that he
had no personal preference in the
matter of a Democratic nominee, arl
that he will take the stump for him
who ever he may be. Patterson's
political career has been a stormy
one, including his defeat of former
Senator e. w. Carmack for the GU
bernatorial nomination, in a sensa-
tional campaign, followed by the
killing Of Carmack here by the
Coopers, their trial. which attracted
nationwide attention, and Patter-
sons pardon Of d. b. Cooper within
few minutes after his conviction
was sustained by the Supreme Court.
