THE WICHITA AND Ell PAso RAILROAD.

From the Kiova Journal.
Some months ago a company was organ
lied for the purpose of building line of
railroad from Wichita, Kan, to FL Paso,
Tex. At its inception it was the inten
ton of its promoters to follow the usual
plan-secure franchise, obtain aid bonds
from the several counties, cities and town
ships through which it was proposed 10
build the road. The principal promoters
of the enterprise were English people OF
Runnymede, Kan. These gentlemen have
succeeded in interesting number OF their
friends on the other side OF the water IN
the proposed line.
1t Is now said that strong syndicate OF
English capitalists has been formed who,
after looking over the proposed route,
have taken hold of the matter and propose
to build the road as an independent line.
Harper and other townships between there
and Wichita, have Already voted small sub
side to aid its construction. Wichita IS the
initial point and has been called upon To
vote bonds The election will take place
shortly. If the Wichita bonds are voted,
other points will probably be called upon
TO aid the enterprise and secure the bene-
fits TO be derived therefrom.
The route has been decided upon to run
from Wichita through Runnymede TO
Harper CIJy. III lOCdIinS IiS iO'N ~ -,
Paso. Kiowa is directly in line. and will,
in all probability. be called upon and given
a chance to say whether or not she wants
this new transportation line. 10 Will be
well for our business men and citizens
generally TO consider the matter carefully
and ascertain what benefits are likely to
accrue to Us should the road be built
through Kiowa Then keep an eye on the
road and at the proper time be ready to
negotiate with the company.
In view of the fact that tins new road
wants to pass through the best portion Of
the Cherokee strip and the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country soon to be opened to
settlement. and through portion of Texas
almost unoccupied by railways, 1t seems
as il this would be valuable piece Of
road

HOW WICHITA WHALES THEM

That the jobbery business Of Wichita IS
on a firm and substantial foundation has
been a well-known fact, but many OF our
people right here at home do not realize
the rapid growth of the iobbing trade here,
nor the fact that in several lines Wichita
is recognized as a competitor now with
Missouri river towns for southwestern
trade.
The following letter from large firm
In one Of the best towns in central Kansas
is pretty conclusive evidence of the above
statements, and is given as an illustration
IF the capacity of this market 70 meet all
