LINKED AT LAST.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf Road Compiled to
Port Arthur.

News reaches here that the last
spike was driven on Friday even
ing binding the rails in one continu
Gus unbroken chain between Kansas
City and Port Arthur on the gulf,
Kansas City celebrated the event
by demonstration, as did also the
inhabitants of Port Arthur,
For over two months through
passenger trains have been run
from Kansas City to Port Arthur,
From DeQulncy to Lake Charles in
Louisiana on what Is known as the
Lake Charles branch the road used
Its own tracks and IRON DeQuincy
to Beaumont, twenty miles above
Port Arthur, the tracks Of the
Southern Pacific were utilized, But
the lorly-seyen miles Of the track
between DeQuincy and Beaumont
now being laid with Kansas City,
Plttsburg and Gulf rails, the road
will be using only ITS own track the
entire distance,
It will take several days to surface
the track up and make it safe to
run trains over It, and when this Is
done more cars, more engines, more
men will be employed on the road
and 1t will Quadruple It's business,
This road Is perhaps the FIRST trunk
road ever built in the south that is
money at the start and
paying handsome dividends ON the
money invested
The road Is one of the most ln-
portant for this city we have yet
secured and If the management
will keep out of the combines and
stear clear Of the "enangling alli-
ances," with other roads, 1t will
be the great carrier Of products Of
the country through which 1t runs,
as well as divert business heretofore
controlled by other roads,
We pull of our hat to this road
and stop long enough to give three
cheers and a tiger for 1t and the
capitalists who built it,
