enterprises are already assured, and work
has been begun. A number Of representa-
tive business men were seen yesterday and
they united in recounting practical benefits
Of the triumph of sound money and the
restoration of confidence.
Mr.. A. Z. Stilwell, vice president OF the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf road, said
yesterday that he had received orders
from foreign capitalists to close one OF the
largest real estate deals which has taken
place in Kansas City for years. The cleo
ton Of Major Mckinley has made this
possible. The details Of the deal cannot
now be given out. but it involves an ex-
penditure of s25O.000. Of which $4,000 has
been already paid in or will be in few
days. This is one of the direct results OF
the election, for the deal would never
have been closed If Mr.. Bryan had been
elected. The Improvement referred to by
Mr.. Stilwell is. he says. one Of the finest
real estate improvements Kansas City has
ever seen.
In speaking of other direct results OF the
election of Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Stilwen said:
On the PittsburE & Gulf.
I'VE contemplate the construction Of a
branch of the Kansas City. Pittsburg &
Gulf from Mena to Hot Springs. While
the details of the matter are not yet ready
for announcement, yet 1t Is practically as
sured that the extension will be made.
"Mena, Ark, has already felt the effects
of the election. A furniture factory and
two sawmills have already been contracted
for. They would never have been secured
II Bryan had been elected. The election
of Mckinley has restored confidence, and
capital has come forth from its hiding
place.
I'm Nancy, La, a big sawmill has al
ready been contracted for, and at Port
Arthur, La. two fine residences, costing
at least $4,000 each, will be built at once.
None OF these improvements would have
been made If Mckinley had not been
elected.
Here is another illustration of the ben
eficial results Of the election of Mckinley:
The Portland Cement Company, of White
Cliff, town on the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf road. has arranged with the Chica-
go house to materially enlarge it's plant
by the construction of immense. lime kilns.
This is one OF the largest plants in the
United States, having capacity Of 1000
barrels"
1.-The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf has
already put on very large extra force
of r2en in the extension Of the road south
of Mena. Ark. More men will be put on
from time to time and the work will be
, rushed as fast as possible"
