NEW RAILROAD FOR sATANTA

. P" D. . .
Considerable excitement has been
caused the past few days by the in
formation, formerly carefully guard
ed, that Mr.. Byers has changed the
plans for his railroad now under
construction, to come through Sa-
tanta to Garden City instead of
through Hugoton to Colorado, as
originally proposed.
Mr.. Byers has had the road from
Forgan, Oklahoma. to Liberal un-
der construction for sometime, and
the plan was to build it On through
Hugoton and Richfield, Kansas, to
Springfield, Colorado. Bonds were
voted in both Stevens and Morton
counties, but the Stevens county
bonds have been held up with end
less litigation and there has been
some trouble in Morton county, This
together with the litigation over the
Liberal city bonds for the assistance
Of Byers' road, has greatly delayed
the work. ~-r~-' Sc a.
Mr.. Byers has just obtained a
loan of three hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars from the gov
eminent on his railroad in central
Kansas, and 1t is understood that this
will release a goodly sum Of his
own capital from that road which
will enable him to push construction
in this corner Of the state and that
In view Of the litigation on the old
route, he has abandoned that plan
and will build north from Liberal
through Satanic to Garden City. fol-
lowing closely the survey made
through here four or five years ago.
A plan is also under consideration
to put a junction in Satanic and
another route over through Ulysses,
Johnson, and Two Buttes, Colorado
to Lamar. Of course this road will
have to builded quickly if at all, as
it is almost exactly the same route
that the Santa Fe is planning to
build on, and the Santa Fe even has
marked under construction" on
their new time tables. Both forks
of this railroad will open up new
country which is fertile, and pro
duces heavily, but is at present fal
from the railroads. The first rail
road to be built through this terri
tory will undoubtedly do an enor.
nous business and Mr.. Byers' his
tory is full of incidents wherein he
went ahead and did it while others
sat around and said: ut can't be

With the building of these two
railroads, Satanta, Ulysses and

period of prosperity in their history
