RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES.


1t is now pretty generally under
stood in railroad circles that where
ever the Memphis extension joins
the Frisco an important division
will be made. This is easily nc.
counted for. This line will be the
Frisco's short route to Kat sas
City, St. Joseph, Chicago and the
Northeast. In bringing through
freight from California, Texas and
other southern points east, when
this junction is reached it must be
divided, That going to ST. Louis
and east will be made up into one
train and go forward on the Frisco
main line; that going to Kansas
City, Chicago and other points will
be forwarded by train made up
for the Memphis. The same will
true of freight coming west via
these two lines; it will be made up
into solid through trains at this
junction to facilitate handling it
and save expense in crews. Be-
sides being the terminus for pass
enger and freight crews on the
Memphis. If Vinita should get
this junction it is almost certain
to secure regular division and
eating house of the Frisco main
line.
4 1t is we'll known freight divis.
ions, other things being equal, are
established about every hundred
miles on Western roads. Let us
calculate the Frisco mileage. From
ST. Louis to its first division,
Newbury, it is 119 miles; to sec.
ond. Springfield, 119 more; short
division to Monett A miles. From
Monett to Vinita tits about so
miles and about 102 miles from
the division on the Memphis, Ft.
Scott, 10 Sapulpa from Vinita it is
nearly so miles. From Sapulpa
to Francis, the next division south,
it is 100 miles; and from Francis
to Denison it is 81 miles. From
Monett to Sapulpa it is 156 miles
entirely too far for a division even
now, and Vinlta is half way be-
tween the two points it behoves
Vinita to go to work on this mat
ter.

tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself. His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to tie shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains, He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
