How CARPEr-BAGGERs BUILD RAILROADS
IN ARKANSAS know thing ortwo in
Arkansas about building railroads. This is
the way they do it: The president OF Il rail-
way company gets OH good terms with the
Estate House ring ''and Iobbies through the
Legislature grant OF Sl5,e0U a mile, with
tile provlso that the bonds are, to be issued
at the completion OF. each ten miles of track.
The president borrows enough iron to lay
ten miles, puts it down, draws, his $4,000 !;
takes up The iron, relays it on the next ten
miles, draws the second $4,000, and repeats
this process until the whole one hundred and
twenty miles are built. rhen the borrowed
iron is returned, the road is left in precisely
the condition it was ut first, and the -presi.
dent decamps to New York and sells his
bonds.
