RETAIL MEN KICK OUT

Times-Journal has the followingp


Times journal has the foIlowingp
The Fort Smith and Western asked
100000 of Fort Smith for the location Of
the road there with the machine shops
A part Of this amount was to have been
paid when the road reached a crossing
with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas at
some point in the Indian Territory and
the remainder when the road reached
some point on the Santa Fe in Oklahoma.
The committee that has been trying 10
get the money met with success until
they struck the retailers. who positively
refused to give up. At a meeting Of the
retailers they argued that the road was
q benefit to the wholesalers and an in
jury to the retailers, and therefore they
would let the banks who were wealthy
from their business with the retailers,
and the wholesalers buy the railroad if
they wanted it.
There is no question but what the road
viii be built, as the following from the
Fort Smith News Record viii show:
president Hayden is expected here
within a day or two, and upon his ar
rival viii hold conference with the ex-

sary money to have the road end here,
are Of the opinion that that viii be the
course Of the road.
THE Hayden party which started from
here to 60 over the proposed line have
completed their tour. The fnanciers de-
sired to know whether or not coal exist
ed along the proposed western route. The
portion Of the territory has not been gone
over. and an expert was delegated to 60
over the course and determine as to the
existence Of coal. This gentleman has
completed his investigation and made
his report. he states that he has discov-
cred that coal abounds in large and good
quality veins. and as that is one Of the
essential facts needed. ATr Hayden and
