From the RaIIroad Camp.

From T. E. Petit who has come
in from the railroad camp near
Anadarko, we learn that work on
the Rock Island extension west
from Chickashs is progressing
quite lively. Mr.. Pettitt says that
he and Lee Gait have fifteen teams
at work on the grade and have no
reason so far for regretting their
undertaking. He says the track
is laid out as far as Anadarko and
they have moved their camp fur
ther out to their second contract,
and that he has no idea of the pro-
jective point of the road now un-
der. construction but has been in
formed that the survey runs to
Mangum in Greer county, Okla,
At all events the road is surely
heading in that direction.

OTIS
Owing to the lack of punctuation
and regard to economy in cable tolls,
General Otis bullctil is not very clear
in some essential points, particularly
the reference to the island Of Negros,
A careful study Of the dispatch on that

that General Otis means to say that
