A movement is on foot to revive the
old proposition to build a railroad
from Pratt across the south part OF
the county to Kinsley. This project
was we'll under way at one time, and
it was confidently expected that the
work would be done, but a period OF
depression struck the railroad inter-
ests and the matter was dropped. The
building of the road will depend on
two propositions. The people will be
asked to give bonds to the amount of
81, 900 per mile, aud the right of way.
The parties who are talking the matter
say that nothing will be done until
spring, who, if crop prospects are
good and other indications favorable
an effort will be make to push the
thing through.
