a pleasant pipe dream that Is not al
together unreasonable and may some
day be realized He says there is talk
of the Stillwell road coming south from
Kansas and striking the T. & p. at

meet its southern terminus in Mexi-
CO. Editor Smith quite pertinently
asks why should 1t go as far west as
Toyah to branch of when by branch

stretch of level country to build its
branch through and also have a direct
outlet northward over the Pecos Val

another outlet in the near future.
