In Mr.. a. E. Stilwell's big scheme,
which means through connections
ultimately, and transcOntiDental ser.
vice between Chicago and the Mexi-
can coast OF the Pacific. A connection
between the st. Paul and Orient
roads would establish a transcouti-
mental route rivaling those OF the
northern lines and the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific 10 the south.
An Important meeting Of the direc.

which is tinanciering the Orient rail
way, will be held in Kansas City ON
October "a. Questions pertaining to
the new road will be discussed and
matters Of Importance passed upon,
Mr. Stilwell will probably make a

on the Orient line. Such a report
will state that dirt is flying along the
route in Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian
