The Texas & Pacific is equipping all
its passenger cars with steel-tired

of its eoal-burning locomotives to oil
burning.

The Irdians will scrimmage with the

70 give the Sons of Ichabod good
game next Saturday.
Kennel will depend on his kickers
foi scores in the game Saturday in To-

TSah, the diminutive quarter, are the
strongest of the Indian kickers. Tyah
uses his toe with more accuracy than
Artichoke. However, Kennedy will
work both of them hard this week
The Indians are very light, their
average being but 155 pounds to the
man. What they will be able to do
against the seasoned Washburn war
riors is a matter OF conjecture. Ken

HILLS DREAM COMING TRUE.
A Near Through Route From Gulf of
Mexico to Pacific Coast.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 1S.-By the
building OF two short links of railroad,
James J. Hill has about realized his
dream OF a through route from the Gulf
OF Mexico to the Pacific coast. The
new route will be from Galveston 70
Denver via the Colorado & Southern,
a HILL line, thence from Denver through
Cheyenne, Grin Junction and Shoshone
wye, on through Billings and Butte,
Mont, to the coast Work was started
some time ago on two short connecting
inks then stopped and now is being
resumed.
Mr. Hill, when asked as to the truth
OF the report that he would have a
through line from Galveston via Den
Yer to the coast as soon as these two
connecting links were built, answered
he had a through line now. He would
say nothing more, and did not explain
whether he meant that the new line
was practically completed or whether
he referred to the more round about
way over the Burlington from Denver
via Alliance. Neb., to Billings.
Tt is said that the fighting qualities
of J. J. Hill are aroused by the action
through car service to the Burlington.
Some railroad men expect the biggest
railroad war ever seen in the west.
They say that the three lines west Of
Utah points. the Gould Western Pa
cifc, the Hartman Southern Pacific
and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake line concluded that in j
short time the Burlington would cease
filling their roads with tourists at Titan
points and would take over its new
line to the Pacific coast, and that there
fore it would be best to get as big
percentage of the through car buSI-
ness as possible now.
