DAKOTA-WlCH AND GULF
Meets with Hearty Response From
NeWspapers and Letters.

Since the promotion of the Dakota,
Wichita and Gulf railroad Engineer Cole
has been receiving let ers daily from
prominent citizens. and arked COPS -
newspapers from the important towns
along the proposed route.
4 fervid enthusiasm and apparent
eagerness for the start Is charact erist:e in
each, and lie general belief IS that dirt
will be flying in thirty days after the
completion ofthe survey profile and pros
pectus.
We append the following letter from q
prominent and experienced ra..-eaG mar

my Dear Sir-I have just returned
from the east and while there read an
article in a New York paper, copied from
the Wichita papers in regard TO the Da-
kota, Wichita and Gulf railroad. II does
seem TO me that there should not be any
delay in pushing that road through, I
was asked by different eastern capital
lists after seeing the article If was IA
miliar with the scheme. told them that
it was Al in all respects and II might be
well worth their time to look into it.
They a once said if 1t is as represented
there would be no trouble TO finance the
scheme, and these gentlemen wished me
TO keep them posted as 10 what advance
ment the company is making.
in my opinion, Mr.. Cole. you should
get all your preliminary work in good
shape, as know you can, as soon as you

I am in touch. +. w. JONES"
Speaking OF Mr.. Jones Mr.. Cole said:
''AIr Jones is prominest and practical
railroad man OF thirty years experience,
having built and equipped several leading
railroads in the east. and Is now presi-
dent of the Central Ohio Electrical Rail-
way company. The letter Of Mr.. Jones is
convincing in Itself that the enterprise Is
we'll in hand. A usited effort on the part
Of the citizens of Wichita with the small
encouragement asked will start at once
the survey north from here. Wichita will
be the starting point IN the construction.
Here the material and all the vast sup
plies viii be gathered, from whence they
will be distributed along the line, which
requirements will fill every avenue Of
Wichita with business hustle. No bonds
viii be asked. The supplies bought at
Wichita alone would be rich return for
the preliminary requirements. a return
that would warrant the wholesale houses
alone in pledging the money for the sur
vey"
This Is not an appeal, as several i'm
por1ant cities have already signifed their
willingness to place the required amount.
It is presented at the request of several
prominent citizens greatly interested in
the welfare of Wichita 1t is hoped and
believed this matter when presented with
maps and descriptions outlined by its en-
gineer before the Commercial club and
interested citizens invited to be in at
