MR.. GILLIAN INTERVIEWED.
The Shreveport Times Man Has a
Talk With the Chief Engineer
of the K c. P&G. Road.


Mr.. Gillham, chief engineer of the
X. c. P. h G, road, accompanied by
Messrs. Gus Knobel, f. A. Horn
beck, l. NJ. Craig and E. C. Dudley,
all officials of the road, arrived in
Shreveport Monday night, and soon
thereafter fell into the hands of a
Times reporter. These gentlemen
informed the scribe that they had
covered the entire distance from
Kansas City to Shreveport, either
by rail or private conveyance, over
their proposed route.
Mr.. Gillham said: Our track will
be completed to the state line be-
tween Arkansas and the Indian
Territory within thirty days, which
brings it to point 1863 miles south
of Kansas City. This will leave a
gap of only 68 miles between Hora- =
ito, the present terminus north Of
Texarkana, and the state line, to
close. In other words, when the
line is completed from TeXarkana
to Shreveport, which is now but
matter of a few days, and rails are
laid to the state line, then a gap Of
bnt 68 miles will remain to be closed
between this city and Kansas City
after April lst.
while this sixty eight miles is
over the spur of the Boston Noun
tains west and a little north of Hot
Springs, Ark, the line of the road
leads through a gap between Rich
Mountain and Red Fork Mountain
and is not at all difficult of con-
struction.
The work is heavy, of course, but
Mr.. Gillham is confident of having
it completed within the time nam
ed. OF the sixty-eight miles of
grading mentioned twenty miles
are already being started, leaving
only ftrty-eight miles to be cross
sectioned and turned over to grad
ers. This will soon be accomplished
and graders will be at work along
every mile of unfinished road be-
tween Kansas City and Shreveport.
Mr.. Gillian and party took trip
up on the top of Rich Mountain,
which is 5000 feet above sea level,
and found the scenery from its
summit picturesquely grand, and
beautiful beyond description. The
railway company has purchase this
location and will put summer and
health resort there.

This morning a gentleman from the coun-
try came to Bolton, having some turkeys
in his wagon. Shortly after he drove upon
the court house square one of his turkeys
got loose, hoped out of the wagon, and
started across the square toward the opera
house. The man and his dog started after
it full tilt. The race was a pretty one. By
the time the turkey got to the opera house
it was doing it's best, half-running and half
flying. The front of the lower story of the
opera house is filed with fine, large French
plate glass windows, and when the turkey
arrived at these he did not notice the OBJ
struction nor stop for 1t, but went through
it as If it were not there. 1t broke large
hole in the window, but that did not i'm
pede the progress Of the turkey. 1t lost
a few feathers, but when captured did not
seem to be otherwise injured. The glass in
