MATTERS RELATIVE
TO STILWELL LINE
Work isiSaidto Be Pro-
grossing idly-Will
Be Trunk One
Mr. W. C. Edwards of Larnod
formerly secretary of state Ib con-
nected with the Orient railroad bolng
built from Kunsan City (o Old Mexico.
He has Just returned from Anthony.
Kas . where ho has been supervising
some matters in connection with tho
construction of the new line. Ho re-
ports the work as progressing rapidly
nnd he says that conditions are splen-
did for the continuation of grading.
In speaking of tho work already
done Mr. Edwards said:
"We have ju8t nine miles of road to
be gradod before we get Into Anthony
nnd then we como eastward Just as
fast' as we can. It 1b surprising how
fnst tho men get the road graded up.
nnd I presume that within a few
months that wo will be near Wichita.
It sooms to Uio nveraije noraon that wo
nro mnklng slow" progress but thon
-..0 .v . Qwn UUW W1U14
Js.dorntlon the many things which wo
hnvn tr tin nn) In fMiini i.ih. i
gOltlllg ft new road through nnv conn-
try.
"There are three corps of men sur-
veying between Widilta and Kansas
City at the present time. We aro
hating three routes surveyed and
nfter a time we will select the short-
est route between Wlohlta and Em-
poria. It is the Hint hills which are
giving iik much trouble and I hope
that wo will tint.' that part of the
matter settled within a few months.
We will select the shortest possible
routf and this Mill lc a saving to us
and everyone elsr if we can ret a
very short route through. Of course
It coss a neat sum of money to lnnko
the throe surveys but for all of that
it will be a big saving In the end to
have a direct route to Emporia nnd
on east from that polnL
"Proaident Stilwell has recently re-
turned from Mexico and I have never
sOen him so enthusiastic over any
projoc since I have known blm us he
is over the Orient II By that ev-
erything is In splendid condition and
that ovorythlng is progressing much
hotter than any of the other lines In
which he has been. Interested. Ho as-
sures us that the road will be rushed
as fast es possible and from what I
know of the conditions I have no rea-
son to doubt but what we are making
better progress than Is usual with
new roads."
Work on the division shops at
Wichita will probably not be begun
until road is built Into that city from
the soutliwest.
