TO DOUBLE TRACK ROAD TOFORT RILEY Union Pacific to Expend One Million Dollars to Better Can tonment Train Service at Kansas Camps. A double track from Manhattan to Junction City, Kan., is to be built by the Union Pacific railroad at a cost of $1,000,000, for the purpose of improv ing the service to "Uncle Sam's" sol diers, who will be quartered at Fort Riley. ' This announcement was made to day at Union Pacific headquarters and work will begin immediately. In ad dition to this expenditure, the Union Pacific has already put in freight sid ings, built new stations and enlarged the present facilities at a cost of close (o $500,000. The new piece of double track is twenty miles long and its principal use is to be for the purpose of run ning shuttle trains to both nearby cities for the purpose of carrying sol diers off duty and visitors at ,the camp. After the arrival of the National Guard contingents and the men from the new National army it is expected there will be from 60,000 to 70,000 sol diers in camp. The problem of trans portation for a camp of this size is extra difficult for the reason that all cars are brought in loaded and taken out empty. War Traffic is Heavy. The Union Pacific already has de livered 520 carloads of material at Funston, which is the name given to one of the camp sites at Fort Riley, and 396 carloads of material and sup plies to the camp at Pawnee. The Union Pacific is running two camp specials, morning and evening, one of them between Funston and Junction City carrying 850 laborers engaged on cantonment work, and one between Pawnee and Junction City carrying 600 cantonment workers, carpenters, plumbers and other artisans. In addition to this announcement by the Union Pacific, the Railroad War board, at Washington, issued a statement showing the extjaordinary demands made upon the transporta tion industry of the country for sup plying the soldiers. A summary up to July 20 showed that 2,298 carloads of material and supplies had been deliv ered at those cantonment sites in the central department alone. Three hun dred and ninety-two carloads at the four aviation sites and 900 cars at the officers' training camp, making a total of 6,300 carloads of war demand busi ness which has been taken care of in addition to the unusual heavy traffic of ordinary commercial character.
