RAILROADS SPARR|NG FOR
Right to Build Into Kiowa-CCman-
che Country in Time,
BOTH WANT TO Be FIPST.

Washington, Jan, IA warm con
test Is on between the DenisSn a
Northern and the Oklahoma S West
ern railroads, each Of which Is trying
TO build iifty miles Of road in the Choc
taw country, in order to reach the
Kiowa and Comanche reservation to
take care OF the business when that
reservation Is opened to settlement,
Both roads have representatives here
competing for tho right OF way, and
several hearings have already taken
place before the secretary of the inte'
rlor, The Oklahoma & Western road is
represented by President Gowen and
Judge Stuart, The Denison & North
ern road was granted a special charter
about 1885, but has allowed the charter
to lapse three times, The Oklahoma
obtained It's charter under the general
law, and sets up the claim that mas
much as the secretary has already re-
newcd the charter of It's competitor 4
times, the department Is not justified
in extending itagain, Both companies
have filed maps showing the location
of the proposed route. The Oklahoma
road has filed aflldavits that it has COM
pleted survey Of the route and that
the Denson line sent out n small party
In buggy and stole the field notes OF
its rival, The claim is moreover made
that the law prohibits the paralle!ing
of lines within an area Of ten miles and
that the final renewal Of the Dcnison
company's charter expires in June, 1t
was held at hearing that the Okla
homa road Is acting in good faith and
that the public good would be best
subserved by granting it the right to
build this extension. Another hearing
will be held on the 21st. The present
hearing was on questions Of law and
the case will next be heard on the
questions of facts.
