Our Proposed New Railroad

Just now there is good deal ofinter-
est manifested by our citizens in the
prospect of a new line of railroad. The
great timber forests of Arkansas Oh the
east and the inexhaustable coal fields of
Colorado ON the west are about six hun
dred miles apart. Between these two
lies vast country almost destitute of
both timber and coal.
The prosperity of the half million
people who have built homes here de-
ponds largely on good facilities for OBJ
tanning cheap lumber and coal as well
as facilities for sending to other mar
kets their own valuable products. To
meet this necessity for cheap transpOr-
tation it is necessary to build some d.
rect lines OF railroad.
Medicine Lodge is situated in the CEN
trail portion of this plain, and a pro-
posed practical railroad line connecting
the two objective points-Fort Smith
in Arkansas, and Trinadad, Colorado.
The practicability of this proposed
line may be determined IN a manner
similar to determining the feasibility
of selecting lot and erecting bust
ness block. In a growing town it can
not be an Improbable investment. So
it is with selecting country through
which to run railroad.
1t is proposed to build the Caldwell,
Arkansas s. Colorado railroad through
prosperous aud developing country.
Trinadad furnishes the coal. A hum
dred and fifty miles east of Trinadad is
a rich lead and zinc mine, then for two
hundred miles it passes through rap
idly developing cattle and agricultural
country, then passes through the rich
est gypsum deposits in the world, also
one Of the best stock and agricultural
countries. Adjacent and on this line
for a hundred miles are salt wells
plants in operation that are capable OF
supplying all the cities west of the Miss.
issippi river with that product. GOOD
building rock is abundant.
Fifteen years ago this country was un.
known to anyone except the wild In.
dian and the buffalo hunter, and in sc
short time has become the home Of
half million of people, enjoying al
the comforts OF older counties except
convenient railroads. Towns and cite:
are already built everywhere within
one and two hours ride. Good govern
ment, good schools and good society
exist. The hope, nerve, energy ant
success of these pioneers is a guaran
tee for any enterprise and for new de
velopement.
No other guarantee is given that thi,
proposed road will be built. No better
guarantee could be given. If you buil(
a new house the insurance agent viii
find you out; if you own a farm tn,
loan agent comes to offer you the CAPT
tai. So, as a people, if you have coun
try the capitalist will seek it out anC
offer you transportation. Capital il
seeking safe investments, and has al
ready rendered the necessary aid to pu
in operation this new line of road. Tn,
whole distance is six hundred mile
and the proposed road is only link O
two hundred miles to make it com

fully explains itself:
MEDICINE LODGE, Sept. Is, 1888.
A. L. NOBLE, Esq, Chairman of the
Republican Central Committee of
Der County.
DEAR SIR: If satisfactory to you and
Judge Loren Edwards, your candidate
for probate judge, we will be glad to ar
range for joint debate of the tariff ques-
ton between that gentleman and the
Democratic candidate, w. G. Afford, at
such times and places in the county as
we may mutually agree on, provided
that not less than six meetings are
held, three to be named by Mr.. Afford
and three by Judge Edwards. We be-
lieve that in this way the merits of this
question can be better discussed before
the people than in any other.
An early reply will be greatly ap-
preciated. Very Respectfully,
