THE FRISCO EXTENSION.
ofhciaIs Are at Ardmore Comforting
ms to New Towns.

Ardmore. i. T., May 1s.-W. II. p
Trudgeon. member. of the ST. Louis. Okla
homa and Southern Railway company and
II. G. Beard, one of the directors of that
company. are here presumably for the pur-
pose OF comforting with each other with
regard to the further locating aud survey
ing az towns on the new road that Is now
lDelng constructed betweea Sapulpa I. T.
ana Denlson Texas. These gentlemen re-
marked that they had nothing to give out
officially This line of road. which is
known as the Frisco. is being construct
ed by the 81. Louis Oklahoma asy South
ern company and when completed will be
leased for term Of years to the Frisco
people. The cross section is almost COM
pleted along the entire route and the grad
ers are now camped along the line as far
South as Ravia, thirty miles east from
this place
The grade North of the Canadian river
VIII be finished within thirty days and It
is estimated that the grade extending
from the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
bridge across Red river to Denison will
be finished within the next twenty days
The southern company is under contract
to have the road ready for use by July
l, 1901 The principal towns on the now
road will be Ala Hickory and Oakland.
the people OF the latter place have been
greatly confused for reason of the survey
having been run two miles east of the town
and some OF the Chicbasaw citizens Jumped
lots on the line at a place where IL seemed
most likely the depot would be located
But now the company has run line
through the town and II the proper con-
cessions are made no doubt but that Oak
land viii be on the road.
