TO SKIP Ell PAS0
And the Last Concessions
Was Signed BY the Gov
efnor ofGhihuahua
Today.

Yes, sir. The Kansas City. Mexico
and Orient railroad is certainty, and
is now being built"
This remark was made by Arthur E.
Stilwen, president and promoter of the
Orient road. to a Herald reporter this
morning and was made with an air Of
positiveness that would indicate that
Mr.. StilwelI had completed all his plans
and now had nothing to do but to
build the road.
The road is not only going to be
built but is being built continued Mr..
Stilwell, and will be in operation with
in two years. The line in Oklahoma
is building rapidly and already 16O
miles of it is ready for the trains. The
Texas lines are being pushed also and
in Mexico we are getting along nicely.
A corps of engineers and workmen are
now in the road out of Port Stilwell
and no time is being lost in getting
material ready for the work"
Mr.. Stilweil arrived in Ell Paso last
night in his special car Haslemere. In
the party were Mr.. and Mrs. Stilwell
of Kansas City: T. l.. Chadbourne, of
Chicago; C. n. Schmick, of Cleveland;
II. A Lozier, of Cleveland; H. H. Har-
ris. of Champaign. ILL.,; Thos. Scott, of
Chicago. and ]. w. Sloan of Chicago.
They took a short trip over the city
last night and returned to their car.
This morning the party came up town
and met Governor Ahumada, of Chi
huahua. and spent all the forenoon
with him.
The last concession asked for by the
Stilwell road was made and signed by
Governor Ahumada of Chihuahua this
morning in the presence of Stilweli and
five other members of the company and
it appears that everything is now
ready for active operations.
All the party are interested in the
road and are going to Mexico to in
spect the work of the surveyors. While
here this morning they met with Gov
ernor Ahumada in the Office of the In
ternational bank and all the papers
pertaining to the concessions were
signed. The governor expressed him
self as being thoroughly satisfied with
the offers of the company and promis-
ed his cooperation in all motters nee
essary.
Referring to the recent trouble he
has had with the Gates combination |
and the reports that the scheme had
been abandoned Mr.. Stilwel said: |
"You may denounce any report to that I
effect as a lie. The plans of the COM
pany have not been changed in the
least and at no time have 1 thought of |
my plan. 1 am going to
build the road because it is a good
and have already arranged
to do so. My concessions in Mexico
are all that / asked for and we are
going to put the matter through as
soon as possible
Here Mr.. Schmick Joined in and said:
I'VE have been well treated in Mexico
and will give them the line at an carly
date. No doubt a great many people
would like to see the scheme fail but
it will not" |,
Mr.. Stilwell said he has had no no
ton of coming to Ell Paso Tor it was {
put of the way. He intends to make $
the Orient road a direct line to Topo- !
abampo and to come by Ell Paso would q
prevent this. ii
