Rock Island railroad and a corps Of en-
gineers have started from this city to

opened designates Kingfisher as the land
office for the western district This is at
present stage station situated on King
fisher creek, a southern tributary Of the
Cimarron. 1t is on the projected line Of
the Rock Island and some ninety miles
south of the Kansas line.
1t is stated that the railroad company
will push its line to Kingfisher as soon as
possible. 1t is not at all likely that the
extension will stop there, as Fort Reno is
but a score of miles further on At this
point there will be a great demand for
supplies and transportation.
