The Texarkana g. Fort Smith a Part
of a New System to the Gulf.

Negotiations, which have been pend
ing for some time past, are about
ready to be closed for the purchase of
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Southern by the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf, the Martin road. Says
the Kansas City STAR "The action of
the Joplin people in guaranteeing the
amount of money asked by the Mar
tin road as a condition of the line run
ming through that town has settled
the question of which direction the
road will will take and also has decid-
ed the company to close for the pur-
chase of the Splitlog line. II is ex-
pected that the formal transfer win be
made some time during this week or
next and preparations will be made
Immediately for the o.osing Of the gap
between Joplin and the present ter
minus of the Gulf road.
The Splitlog road, when connection
is made with it at Joplin, will give to
the Gulf people direct line as far
south as Sulphur Springs, and which,
it is thought, will be open by July 1.
The original intention of the company
building the Splitlog was to extend to
Sabine Pass and thus establish direct
line from Kansas City to the Gulf of
Mexico, This idea will be carried out
by the new purchasers of the road in
connection with the original plans
mapped out for their line. The pur-
chase Of the Splitlog will leave only
short gap to be filed this side of Fort
Smith, and with the completion of the
extension of the Texarkana road re-
Gently purchased will give through
line as far as Texarkana. From Tex
arkana to Sabine Pass Is only short
distance, and it is safe to say that
within another year the entire line
will be opened for business. s."--Joplin
