Many Short Lines Merged to Form Kansas Railroad
Rail Development of State Traced in Radio Talk by F. A.Russell Monday
Scores of railroad companies forty or fifty years ago constructed the segments of line that now make up three of the fine railway systems of Kansan, said Prof. F., A. Russell of the department of civil engineering of the University of Kansan, in a radio talk over KEKU Feb. 1.
Step by step, as the railroads were pushed forward, a few miles at a time, Professor Russell traced the route of the railroad out and out that the railroad age did not begin until 1872. From 1812 to 1828 was the pack mode period, be said. This was followed by the ex oak warrior, who took the stage in the stage coach period of 1844-1872.
These early railroads, Professor Russell explained, took in plenty of territory in their corporate names, even though they constructed only a few stations. He built Pike's Peak Railway, in 1868, built from Atchison to Worcester; the St. Louis, Kansas and Aransas Ry, in 1872, built from Pooh to LeRoy; the Chicago, Kansas and Western 1877, built from Anguine to Mulvane.
The Archbishop, Tomeka & Santa F. Professor Russell explained, was the dream of Cyrus K. Holiday who came to the University of Notre Dame at that time had completed a line from Wydanlote (Kansas City) to Tomeka, in 1966. Two years later, Mr. Holiday started his line from Tomeka along the old Trail.
The Santa Fe had a line in operation from Topelac to Barringeage in 1869 Borlingen to Emporia in 1870; Emperor to Newton in 1871; and Newbor to the Colorado state line in 1872. The Santa Fe had 45 different lines of no less than 45 different lines.
Turning to the Union Pacific, Professor Russell told of the construction of a line to Tepeka in 1866, and the movement westward, when see- sides were so numerous that no completed, to Wacoque, Manhattan, Fort Ripley, Junction City, Sullivan, Heyne, and Simpson, (now Lisbon). The lines at least a dozen different companies are compounded with the Union Pacific system of the present.
The Missouri Pacific of the present is made up of no less than 40 different projects, Professor Russell said. Of these, the three largest line, constructed in 1866, Three years later the Leavenworth, Abilene and North Western built a line to Abdulah which was later extended to the Nebraska state.

Coalition of Senators Fights Group Opposed to Tax Reduction Bill
Night Sessions May Be Sought if Debate Doesn't Move Ahead. Well
(United Press)
Washington, Feb. 2—The coalition of the Republicans and Democrats that crushed minority opposition to the World Court today began to exert its power on the independent minority fighting the tax reduction bill.
Chairman Smoot of the senate financial committee announced the senate would be kept in session an hour longer tonight, that opponents of the bill will have to debate or vote, and that the senate would force a vote within 10 days.
Smooth intents to move up the time of cf convening one hour, and if the deadline has not progressed satisfactorily by the end, these will be sought. If these prove unsatisfactory in bringing the majority to vote, closure will again be required.
The minority, led by Senator Norris, Nebraska Republican, and Coubens, Michigan Republican, is angry about an agreement Nebraska Nova province must accord earlier today, and charged that the majority was attempting to "stammer" the minority into submission. Both said they would object to such provision. The majority has the vote to cancel submission.
Next Owl to Fly Feb. 26
"Puritan Number" Is Selected as Title for Issue
The next number of the Sour Owl will be known as the "Puritan Number" and will be on the campus Feb. 26. The original intention of the Owl staff was to make this the first edition of the causes caused by the Lucky Number have resulted in the change of plans. The $5 prized offer for art and literary copy in the Lucky Number were won by F. K. Tiffany and L. L. Kendall, men clearly excelled in their field in this number and showed real ability, according to members of the Owl staff. Similar prizes of five dollars for art and Literary copy will be given to the winning contributors for the Puritan Number, and those who are strong that anyone with any ability in all start writing for it immediately.
"The only way the Sour Owl can be made a good and interesting magazine is by having a wealth of material to choose from. When only barely enough material is available, it might just thing must be used to fill up the magazine and of course some stuff gets in that is neither humorous or well written. We should have twice the number of contributors that we do," said George McGuire, editor of the Owl. Work on all available material for the "Puritan Number" is going forward to be published at the hands of the engravers soon. Jack Glenadel will make the sketch.
No final check on the sales of the Lucky Number but is expected that a good sale was effected. A complete list of sales and profit will be available soon.
Municipal Bureau Library Is Moved to Watson Hal
The library of the municipal reference bureau has been moved from Fraser hall to Watson library, with the exception that the change was made necessary by the growth of the Kanana League of Municipalities, which required a secretary, according to Chester K. Shore, editor of Kanana Municipalities Magazine.
The reference bureau was organized in 1906, to serve both students and city officials of Kansas. It was placed under the same secretarial as the lesure of municipalities in 1910.
Mr. McLarty will also be an instructor in political science in the University.

*The eight dollars you pay for the Knox "Fifth Avenue" is truly sensible economy. What other hat possesses an equal reputation for authoritative style and long distance wearing qualities?
