Karlv in 1902, the Chicago, Koak
Island A Pacific railway will throw
open to the public,its new line to
Texas and the great South and
the Southwest. The opening of
this new line will mean much to
the traveling and shipping public
and will take its place as one of the
great railroad improv ements of that
year.
This now line is an extension of
the branch of the Hock Island ex-
tended to Liberal m the southwest
corner of Kansas. I he extension
from Liberal runs in an almost
straight line to K1 Paso, Texas, the
terminus. The distance from Lib-
eral to K.l Paso ts 542 miles. A re-
route it is 1H07 miles. 'The dis-
tance between Omaha and HI Paso
via the Rook island is I loti miles,
while by the other shortest route it
is I ait t miles. The distance be-
tween Omaha ami HI Paso via the
Kook Island is 1100 miles while by
the other shortest route it is 1304
miles. 'The distance between
Omaha ami Los Angeles via the
Kock Island to I'll Paso and con-
nee,ting lines, is 1,910 miles, while
by the other shortest route it is
2,000 miles. 'Thus it will be read-
ily seen that, the Great Itoek Island
will become pre-eminently the
“Straight Line”, the “Short Lino”,
the “Low Latitude Line”, between
Missouri river points and the prin-
cipal points both West, South and
South wi st,.
'Then again in addition to the im-
mense gain in time to the freight
and passenger traffic; the building
of the new' Hook Island extension
will open up a vast and as yet whol-
ly undiscovered territory, brim full
of interest and enterprises to the
tourist. It is reported by the en-
gineers who have been over the
route that the scenery is delightful.
The resources of the country
through which the extension passes
are all that, could be desired. 'There
is abundant land, rich, fertile and
well watered, for the farmer; plenty
of pasture and feed land for cattle
and sheep raiser; abundant timber
land for building purposes; an in-
exbaustable supply of coal within
easv reach; deposits of gold, silver,
copper ami other minerals, in fact,
land and resource to suit any and all
tastes.
'The climate is favorably com-
pared with that of California. It
is just far enough south to secure
those warm days so neecessary to
raise grain, fruits etc., and those
delightfully cool nights, so refresh

kind. In fact it is the recognized
