st. PauI-Kansas City Short Line May
Be Opened Sooner.

Chicago, July 24.-The Rock
Islands new st. PauI-Kansas City
short line probably will be open for
traffic sooner than at first expected.
All equipment in the work of con-
structing the sixty-eight miles of track
from Attention to Carlisle, Iowa, is on
the ground. The work is well under
way and will be carried forward with
the greatest possible expedition. The
survey has been divided into eight sec
tions of approximately eight miles
each, and two gangs have been put to
work in each section.
1t was estimated originally that the
line would be ready for operation by
September 1, 1912, but it has been de-
cided to put in substantial pile bridges
to enable an equal distribution of the
steel structural material for the per
manent bridges, and it is possible that
the temporary structures can be util-
lied for transportation purposes by
making a, cross-over at each bridge IN
til the steel structures have been com
pleted.

is being pushed as rapidly as possible.

drove of about seventy-fye head com
nletelv wiped out. A number of other
farmers report having lost as many as
twenty-five and thirty head.

cholera in this vicinity has not been
accounted for.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Line From Kansas
City to New Orleans.
Officials Do Not Deny RumOr
at Joplin Meeting.
TO TAP THE SOUTH
This Is Ultimate Plan for Road
to Follow.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Joplin, Mo-, July 24.-Persistent Tu-
mors that the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad is planning to OBJ
tain a through line from Kansas City
via Joplin to New Orleans, while not
substantiated by any of the large
array of Santa Fe officials who were
in Joplin last week, were not denied
by them.
While most of the officials pleaded
ignorance of the intentions of the di-
rectors of the roal, all admitted that
they were aware of the rumors that
the road intended charging its opera
probably planned to have a through
line into New Orleans, passing through
Joplin.
"One thing is certain and obvious =
said one of the officials, land that is
that the Santa F'e did not extend its
line into Joplin for the sole purpose
of picking up what little business may
be procured between Joplin and Pitts
burg, Kan. No one, however. is as
yet in a position to say what the ulti-
mate intentions of the directors are in
regard to extending the road farther
south"
REmors have been current IN the
railroad world for several months that
the Santa Fe is conducting negotia
lions for the procuring of a southern
line as a part of the system. In addi-
ton, the road is declared to be planning
to procure another line running north
from New Orleans, and by uniting the
two and adding them to it's branch now
entering Joplin from Pittsburg the road
would have a through line from Kan
sas City to New Orleans.
That the road is doing extensive re-
construction work over its entire sys-
tenn is said to be preparatory to taking
up an extension of it's system In the
south. The road has completed dou-
BILE tracking from Chicago to Albuquer-
que, n. NJ, with the exception of four
miles, which includes a large bridge
near Kansas City, at an expenditure
of $1.7O0, 900.
That Joplin will be on the main line
of a division of the great system be-
fore many months is the firm belief
of many persons who are keeping post
ed on the movements in railroad cir
cles.
Commercial Offices for the Santa Fe
will be established in Joplin soon, ac-
cording to one of the officials of the
road. A special commercial agent win
be in charge of the office.
IN the few days that the Santa Fe
has been running trains here" ne
said, the business has grown each
day, both in passenger and freight
business. We are going right after -he
business in Joplin and propose to have
our share of it We believe Joplin is
a good field and we will inaugurate an
Office and special agent here just DIS
soon as possible

PLAN TO OVERRIDE
PRESIDENTS VETO
IS LIKELY To FAIL
Filibuster Will Prevent New
Attempt to Get Vote on
Statehood. IS

1t has developed that the plans
to pass the Statehood bill over the
veto Of the President have probably
gone glimmering. The reason for this
is that those Senators who do not
want to pass the bill over the veto
have 1t in their power to filibuster
against a vote, and it is learned that
they are planning to do this
Under the circumstances in which
Congress is placed, with tangled tariff
situation on, and with a general desire
for early adjournment, it is easy to
see that a filibuster could easily pre-
vent a vote this session. This is not
the case in the House, where a vote
can be forced. but the rules Of the
Senate make 1t easily possible to con-
duct the required filibuster.
The probabilities are that after the
veto n new measure will be passed
for the admission Of Arizona with the
recall omitted.
