gpeciaI 20 The World.
CANEY, Kan, Aug. 16.--The last
ohstacle in the way OF starting con-
4uction on the Kansas, Oklahoma
x Southern railroad, the railway
that local people believe is the key
that will unlock a metropolitan fu-
ture for Caney, has been removed
by the action OF the interstate com
merce commission. The commission
has granted to Col. s. NJ. Porter. the
promotor permission to issue $780,
600 in notes, secured by like
amount OF a previous unencumbered
bond issue, TO finance the construc-
tion OF a 10-mlle strip from Vinlts
northeast TO the coal mines
Last February the commission
granted permission to build the strip,
but has held up sanction on the plan
10 finance it until now Capital has
been in readiness to take hold Of the
project for some time.
The road was originally intended
TO run from Caney to Vinita and the
company went ahead and acquired
righ:-ot-way and other property,
including considerable grading to the
,Salue Of s532,000. But in June, 1920,
We commission held up proceedings.
and decided that the road should go
from NlUltd 10 CdUeyt instead or TAX
ing its original course. That left a
long strip of grading on this end
that could not be used until the road
came through from Niinita.
Since June, 1920, Colonel Porter
has been working diligently on the
project. and has now cleared every
obstacle hindering the construction
OF the first 10-mile strip. The in
terstate commerce commission has
promised the authorization Of an
other 20-mile strip as soon as the
first 10 miles are done, and capital
Is ready for this, also. as soon as II
is authorized. With the first 30
miles of the 6l-mile road done, Col
onel Porter declares that the remain
der OF the project will not run up
against further delay.
This railroad, although a compar-
Itively short run. Will be OF tre-
Sendous importance to this city and
Tommunity. II will not only open up
rich oil and agricultural section,
but will also tap the Oklahoma coal
mines. in themselves sufficient rea-
son for the project.

State. AS Minnesota was well gov
erned and a good going concern, he
crossed the st. .Croix into Wisconsin
to fix things up on the other side.
With fine heredity, collegiate train
inf, and long familiarity with bust
ness and educational affairs, he is
exceptionally equipped for public life,
and through liberal thought with
generous and gracious treatment of
opposition, secures the maximum of
result for his efforts where others
fail.
Mr.. Nelson has identified himself
with every interest of Wisconsin dur
ing his quarter century residence in
that State, and besides being active
| ly engaged in the banking business
he has been for many years a
regent of it's world-famous Univer-
sity and active in the fairs Of the
Methodist church as we'll as in many
civic, State and national associations.
The folks at home are not always
familiar with the many duties that
devolve upon their member OF Con-
gress at Washington. First of all
the office building provides him but
one room in which to do his work and
receive his friends. Everybody has
his number and he can't hide away.
Besides large daily mail which he
welcomes from his constituents, as
that is his best and almost only way
of knowing their needs, he has COM
mittee meeting almost every morning
from 10 till IL, and then session of
the House from IL till 5 or in the
evening. He is constantly inter-
rupted with callers who consult him
on every whim in transit through
Congress land he is presumed to be
familiar with every phase of every
| measure, though he couldn't read
every bill that is introduced if he had
nothing else to do. He has also to
make many calls at Departments
scattered all over the District of
Columbia, and the hours they are OPP
en- are the same hours he is busyin
his office, his committee or the House.
Then he is invited to make addresses
on many pro bono public occasions,
and must be both interesting and in
forming, though he hasn't minute
to make ready.
A real member of Congress must
know all about the tariff, with its
thousands of schedules and intrica-
cies; he must know all about the
bonus and where to get the money;
he must be familiar with the mer-
chant marine, the ship subsidy, re-
parations, debt ?refunding, st. Law
renee, river waterway, railways rates,
boll-wee1vil, farm credits, emergency
fleet, and every grievance of war
torn world. Sixty big committees
are grinding out material faster than
