The local trades council of the American Federation of Labor is up in the air over the location of the books and records of the organization. It has not been able to locate them or to find out how thev stand financially- John T.

O'Donuell, a tailor employed at the Bergsten, Hills and Solberg clothing company 'store until recently, has been secretary and treasurer of the council for some time but before he left about a month age John Shipe was elected to take his place. Mr. O'Donnell announced that he would turn over the book's accounts to Mr. Shipe before leaving but it appears that he has not done so. It is said that he is visiting with his wife's parents at Chuckey, Ten- Mr.

John Johnson sold a fine young After working for several years on the proposition the traffic manager of the II. I. Lee Mercuitile company has received the assurance of A. L. Mohler, vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific railroad, that the ruin known as the "Solomon r.ianch Train" will be operated into Salina.

The information reached hcie loday in the shape of the following letter': "Mr. M. A. (nay, Traflie Manager, The 'II. D.

Lee Mercantile Company, Salina, Kansas. Dear Sir: horse to A. M. Smith one day last week. It cost Mr.

Smith $150. Miss Elsie Bell, from Burns, who bar been visiting with her sister, 1 19 North Santa Fe of the road, with the branch line to the coal fields of New Mexico, will thus open a great amount of territory to the Salina wholesalers. It would compete directly with the Rock Island out of Hutchinson and besides would reach any number of smaller towns in the rapidly developing southwest that now only have an indirect communication over sev-veral branch lines which cause a great delay in getting anything like proper service. A good northern territory will be opened at the same time. It is easily seen that this trade with the importation of a great amount of produce 'from' the same markers' would mean a big business boost' for Salina, as well as the fact of its' being on a direct line to the Gulf.

The building of such a line would also mean a great transfer business with the east and west roads passing through Salina both in pas ac inessee and Mr. Shipe has written liiiij Your favor of June 17th received and reply considerably delayed, but have, today, given instructions to operate the Solomon branch train to Salina. Mrs. II. E.

The council is somewhat worried over the turn affairs have taken, but is expecting to have everything cleared up within a few days.

One man expressed himself today as thinking that it probable that Mr. O'Donnell might have left the books with some one else in his hurry before going and that that person had not yet reported the fact to the local council.

The little fellow and his mother were alone in the house at the time and unknown to the mother, the little boy climbed up in the -cupboard and opening the bottle, took a drink of the poison.

L. The "Solomon Branch Train" has been running between Beloit and Solomon, coming down in the morning to make connections with the east bound train leaving Salina at 10:40, and leaving Solomon in the 'afternoon as soon as the west bound Union Pa-icfie train that is due in Salina at 4:20 reaches Solomon. For years the business and wholesale interests Oi Salina have asked that this train be brought on to Salina in the morning and allowed to lay over here rather than at Solomon. This would give the people on the Solomon branch a chance to visit Salina for four or five hours and get liome the same day, something that has been impossible with the former train service. At the local office of the Union Pacific no notice of the change had been received this afternoon, although they were expecting the formal order some time today or tomorrow.

Changes of those kind go throivrh the hands of a number of officials before they reach their final destination so that the local office would not be surprised if the order did not reach them for several days. While no in format ion beyond that in the letter printed above has been received by the Lee company, it is very probable that the change will mean that the train will leave Solomon later in the afternoon than it has been doing. In order to keep the present schedule in force it would be necessary for the Solomon branch train to leave here about o'clock in the afternoon. As this would cause passengers for Solomon and points between Solomon and Beloit to miss connections with the other trains that leached here a little later, it is very likely tiiat the, new train will leave here in the at to moon -a bout the same time as the McPheison and the other branch trains. This action on the part of Mr.

Mohler gives to Salina a train for which the business men have been asking for years, and to which the Lee wholesale houses through their traflie manager, Mr. Gray, have given a great deal of time. The news that his efforts have been rewarded will be received with general satisfaction by the business as well as the traveling public. News From Crystal Springs. Crystal Springs.

It is mos likely that tire yards would be located just west of these tracks whieh would place the depot nearly as close to the business part of town as the present railroads." "I hope that we can place the yards in Salina," said President H. Leone Miller of the road yesterday evening, "I have been for Salina firstr last and all the time and I want to see it grow. I have made the city my home and have all by interests here. A promoter has to have an infinite amount of patience, though. I find now, however, that there has been a great change of feeling within the past few-weeks and that everyone is beginning to look with favor upon the road." It was the first intention of the company to run the road from Salina to Marquette parallel to the Missouri Pacific and passing through both Smolan and Falun, but a contract made this week with a large number of farmers in the vieiruty of Salems-burg indicates that the road will go that way and open up the territory between the Union Pacific at Lindsi borg and the Missouri Pacific west.

A contract was signed by A. W. Miller and others of Salefnsburg with the railroad company Tuesday whereby they agree to deposit $5,000 in the Traders State bank in Stdina which is to be paid to the company nrovideNi they have bv this time next year constructed the road from Salina to at least three miles beyond the Salemsbnrg church.

This arrangement will give railroad with a section of Saline county that is now without any thing of the kind, and will at the same tne give the new road a rich trade territory.

The route north -of Salina has not yet been definitely decided upon, bnt Miller stated last night that the road would be built according' to the plans of the engineers as to the best route as shown by the contour of the land and without regard to" any offers or inducements on the part of any towns in or on the proposed surveys.
