TWO ROADS USE SAME
TRACK TO SALINA NOW

The Santa Fe and Rock Island
began Sunday to use the same track
from Abilene to Salina, the Santa
re track as far as Solomon, the
Rock Island track from there to
Salina. The Rock Island sent an
extra through Sunday morning for
the first trial of the joint system
and the regular trains ran on time.
No Santa Fe trains run over the
Salina branch on Sunday, so the
Santa Fe began using the track to-
day. Trains are despatched over
the Santa Fe. No changes have
been announced in the time of the
trains on either line here. The
trains leave their own depots as
before. It has not been decided
whether or not the unused tracks
will be torn out. The plan will be
tried out before any decision ls
made.

ROADS ARE IMPROVING
PRESIDENT Fairfax Harrison Points to

Southern Roads.

Increase in Hauling Capacity on
Southern Roads.
Washington, May 9.-Since 1905 the
average days haul of cotton from the
farm to the shipping station has been
about 5000 pounds, according to a re-
port made by Mr. Frank Andrews,
chief of the division of crop reports Of
the United States agricultural depart
ment
Commenting on this, President
Harrison of the Southern Railway
company, said: while the shortening
OF the average haul, due to railroad
construction and the use of heavier
draft animals, has probably been
helpful, there can be no doubt that
the principal factor in this large saw
ing in the cost of marketing the cot
ton crop is the direct result of the
progress that has been made in i'm
proving the country highways Of the
South. 1t is a practical demonstra-
ton OF the economic advantage of i'm
proving roads radiating from market
towns and shipping stations so as to
give the benefits OF good roads to the
largest practicable number of farm
crs In the community. That there is
still room for further Improvement in
many localities is shown by the fact
that the average wagon load of cotton
varies in different parts of the cotton
belt from two and one-half bales to
eight bales"

Dear Sir: | am in receipt of yours

Second. Can dispenser sell bar
