A. L. Mohler, president of the Unior

of the Travellers club of this city
does not look particularly encour-
aging for the new western Kansas

in reply to your telegram of Febru-
cry 18th requesting that the addi-
tional train which will soon be in
stalled between Salina and Oakley,
be extended to operate from and to
Junction City. This train is being
installed under a recent order OF
the public utilities commission, but
we are satisfied will not be remun-

would involve a greater loss to us
in it's operation. / am sure you Will

being so regulated that we hardly

would run from Junction City to
