Oklahoma Interested in Pro-
posed Topeka Extension.
Union Pacific Line From To-
peka to DinisOn, Texas.
DIRECT LINE TO GULF.
Midland Valley Forms the Link
to New Orleans.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

Guthrie, Okla, March 2O.-Great
interest has been created throughout
Oklahoma by the recent report that
the Union Pacific is getting ready to
build an extension from Topeka, Kan,
to Denison, Tex, in order to give the
Hartman lines direct connection with
the gulf. This, it is believed, was the
plan. when it was decided recently to
build the Midland Valley north from
Arkansas City to Wichita.
Following the determination to ex-
tend came the report that the Midland
Valley had passed into the control of
the Union Pacific, with which the
Midland Valley in building to Wichita
would make direct connection at Nc
Pherson, Kan. This would make the
Midland Valley a valuable link in
reaching New Orleans.
To build the Midland Valley north
in Kansas there was recently organ
lied the Wichita, Mcpherson & Gulf
railway, and the contract for grading
the roadbed between Arkansas city
and Wichita was let during the past
week to NJ. Tansey, a contractor OF
san Saba, Tex. He agreed to begin by
March 1. AS soon as the road bed IS
graded the Midland Valley will lay
the steel which will take about 81
days time. Tansey agrees to have 10
teams at work by March To- CoHi-
1uercing at Arkansas City. The entire
right of way to Wichita has been Sc
cured.
The Midland valley now runs across
Oklahoma from Fort Smith, Ark. TO
Arkansas City. passing through Mus
Izogee, Tulsa, .Pawhuska ana ForaKer.
FROM Arkansas City it will be built
along the Arkansas river through
Geuda Springs, Slate Creek and OK
ford. Into Belle PLANE it Will practl-
callv parallel the Missouri Pacific
then run directly to Wichita.
In this connection is the purported
announcement during the week from
Fort Worth, Tex, by Judge Lovett
that the Houston & Texas Central will
bui1d northward from Denison, Tex,
n a Union Pacific connection in order
to connect the Union the southern
Pacifics. Many years ago sucn an
extension was surveyed through Okla
horna to Mcpherson and Junction
city. Kan. From Denison to a connec-
tion with the Midland Valley would
he the only additional link necessary
to construct.

in the past decade Mr.. Allen says that
the average increase in the los Kansas
counties has been Is per cent, while
the SO counties served by the Rock
Island has increased 16.47 per cent.
In his letter to the secretary of the
Commercial club of Dodge City he says
that Ford county has increased in the
10 year 1925 per cent and concludes
as follows: r
"I congratulate you upon this SPLEEN
did slowing, which is the strongest
kind of evidence of the activity of your
organization and I sincerely hope that
the prosperity of your town and county
may continue and at the end of the
succeeding census period the showing
may be no less gratifying"
Mr.. Allen may reasonably expect the
population of Ford county to again
double in the next 10 years.

ROCK ISLAND SPECIAL TRAINS.
Road Promoting Agricultural Educa-
ton Along Lines.

The Chicago, Roc Island & Pacific
RAILWAY is one of the several roads that
is assisting to promote agricultural ed
ucation along its lines, says the Rail-
way Review. In the past few months
this road has operated special agricul-
tural trains in Oklahoma, Iowa, Kan
sas. Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas
and Louisiana, covering a distance of
6,521 miles. holding 439 meetings with
farmers and attracting a total attend
ance of 94,42S persons. Subjects of
much importance to the farmer have
been discussed. and results in greater
agricultural productiveness are expect
ed. The Corn and Hog Special OPP
Grated in February by the Rock Island
lines in Louisiana in conjunction with
the Agricultural college of the Louisi-
ana State university. established some
new records for interest and attend
ance. A special train of eight cars
was furnished free and lectures and
demonstrations were given on the sub
ject of corn and hog raising. In three
days stops were made at "a towns and
26 MEETINGS were held in a distance Of
290 miles, with an attendance of H.
975 people. On February 16 eight meet
ings were held at which there was an
attendance of 1882 people.

Edward CrOmptOn Arrives to
Join OutfieId Squad.
Moore Is Showing the Colts g
Few Wrinkles.
HAS ALL THE PEPPER
McLaurin, Hold Out, Sold to
Waco, Texas League.
Breitenstein May Be Pushed
into the Pitchers Box.

| Edward Crompton, the young out
fielder Moore bought from Cincinnati
| reported in Topeka Sunday. He is a
husky player and is said to be, a COM
er. Cincinnati got him last fall from
YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, in the Tri-State
league. He hit 1858 and fielded .953
the big leagues. He did not arrive in
! time for the workout yesterday and
| has not been seen in action.
Manager Moore had his squad OF
kaws out for a two hour fast practice
| in the warm Sunday sun, and they
Kicked up the dust in a snappy way.
The bunch included Moore, Hopke
Morris, Upton, Syfert and three colts
who would like jobs, Parks, catcher,
+ Thompson, a pitcher, and an Indian
named Peanu. Nearly hundred
fans and kids were hanging around
son to open and, when the players
left, the kids took possession of the
grounds in a game of choose-up.
All eyes are, of course, on Fred
Moore during the practice periods.
They want to know what the little
second sacker can do. And he has
been showing them something in the
line of special brands of pepper, peg
ging and scooping them off the pan.
He has declined to say what he will do
and has advised to wait and see. There
is little doubt but that he will burn it
up around the keystone sack and keep
the team on the jump.
Moore still is knee deep in his man
agerial duties and has just sold Nc
Iaurin to the Waco, Texas, club in
the Texas league. This star outf1elder
he bought from the Columbia club in
the South Atlantic refused to report
in Topeka except under impossible
a q
promise to get rid of the holdouts, be-
gar on Gibson and has now sold Nc
Laurin.
Butch Kerns is in town waiting for
an agreement with Moore. He has
been here several days and seems to
be nearer satisfaction. Neither he nor
Moore will say just what the differ
ence is, but Butch says it isn't money.
The impression gained from the other
holdouts was that all a ball player
v anted was money.
Moore was suspected of buying Bill
ly Breitenstein, last season manager
of the Columbia Blues in the South At
iantic, for his outfield in case he got
rid of McLaurin as he has done. Now
be says. however, that he is thinking
of putting Breitenstein in the box,
where the big fellow first made good
in professional company.
More players are expected in To-
peka every minute and it is thought
the whole bunch will be in in a few
days.
A week from today, March 27, the
XaNvs have their first exhibition game
with the Chicago White Sox, No 2.
Tuesday and Wednesday. the first
team of the White Sox follow. Then
a third big league game is slated for
April 4. with the Boston Red Sox on
their return from California.
Other training games have been ar
ranged with the Washburn college
team, but the dates have not been Sc
lected. Games will be played with st.
Marys and Manhattan at the latter
places during the training.

This seems to be pretty good record
of punctuality for a midwinter month.
Several of the roads, including the New
Haven, had a percentage of between
81 and 80 to their credit.
The Santa Fe has announced that
the road will inaugurate fas' passenger

passenger traffic between the two
cities.
That the rush of coIon;sts who are

SANTA FE LEADS THEM ALL.
Takes Leading Interest in Cost OF
Operation.


Operation.
It is probable that no railway COM
pany in the United States has taken a
more intelligent interest in reducing its
cost of operation through the develop
ment of heavy locomotives, than has
the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, says
the Railway Review. This development
has been accompanied by the extensive
introduction of compromising and su-
perheating, with the result that the
motive power of this system occupies
an advanced position. The vigorous
manner in which transportation prob
lens have been solved by this road, has
been prompted by the fact that a large
part of the line runs through mountain
Gus country where grades are excessive
and curves frequent. and where, be-
cause of natural conditions, compare
lively little traffic originates
The first engines of the Mallet type
to be placed in service on this road
were completed by the Baldwin Loco
motive works in the fall of 1909, and
were four in number. Two have the
4-4-6-2 wheel arrangement and are for
passenger service, while the remaining
two have the 2-S-S-2 wheel arrange
ment, and are used in freight service.
The latter engines. at the time of their
construction. were the heaviest and
most powerful ever built, while the
passenger locomotives far exceeded in
capacity. any other engines employed
in similar service.

NEW FRUIT RECORD ON S. F.
-Four Hundred Cars in One Day Out
of Southern California.

San Bernardino. Cal, March 90
Twenty-Five million organges and lem
ons moved out of southern Cahforni a
the other day over the tracks of the
Santa Fe and the Southern pacific, and
all previous records were left far be-
hind by the long string of fruit cars
that were started eastward.
Four hundred cars in one day Is the
greatest number the two railroads ever
moved out of California in one day.
All night the Santa F'e yards here
saw train after train pull in from the
fruit growing districts bringing the
I Us shipments from the packing
houses. From midnight until noon the
switching crews broke up the pick
up trains and switched the fruit in the
long mountains trains to start for the
east Five sections of the Santa Fe

afternoon that the last left the yards.
The 400 cars of fruit that were
handled by the two railroads woul'1
have made a train of nearly four miles
in length if switched together AMI
would have taken about % of the most
powerful locomotives to pull it.

GorCH WHISTLES WITH FURY.
His Late Matches Have Been Short
Timed Victories.

Carl Becker and Jim Asbell are in
for a good hard tussle tomorrow night
at the Grand if Champion Frank
Gotch pursues the methods he has
been employing the past few matches.
The champion has evidently gotten
riled over something, for he has been
dumping these near-champions right
and left in the past few days.
Up at Kansas City the other night
he made quick and short work of
Ernest Koch. the German champion,
throwing the big fellow twice within a
half hours time and did it with ap-
parent ease. few nights later he
met Samson up at Chicago and threw
the strong man easily. Not only that,
but he nearly put the giant out of
business. The champion tossed the
beef trust up into the ai- about seven
feet and Samson fell on his head. He
was unconscious for some time and is
now in a hospital
OF course, on those evenings he met
only one man. but when it comes to
meeting two different mon and throw
ing them in the allotted time it is a
different thing. The first man may
stay for considerable time and when
the champion tackles the other he is
aekIing a fresh man. Gotch has no
fear however. but that he will be
able to turn the trick IF pinning the
shoulders of these two men to the mat
in quick time. Becker and Asbell both
believe that they will give the cham
pion a harder tussle than he thinks.
