find the competition Troublesome Take
for instance competition between the

l $, both going east or nearly fro san

| and the other for s27, $40 per mile. The

| san Antonio and Gulf Shore. La Porte,
/ Houston and Northern. the Trinity

| Beaumont and Kansas city. the GUT
and Interstate, and the Toxurltana ana
| Fort Smith.
In addition TO these roads that are
! actually being constructed there Is
earnest tnlk OF building road from

nronrlotors will first build to Beau

connecting with the Beaumont and
| Kansas city, which runs up through

miles ia now completed. The Beau
mont and Kansas city Will connect at
some noint aouth of Shreveport with the
Southern branch OF the Texarkana

northern connection with the Kansas

now that such a road will do the bust
