Local andGeneral.
ST. LOUIS-TEXAS LINE

It is believed that the Santa Fe is pre-
pairing to build line from St Louis to
Texas, tapping on its way the Kansas gas
belt The circumstances which lead to
this rumor have not been made public
until recently, though the move seems to
have been initiated some years ago.
The St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado
road was chartered by Francis Herman
and a number Of Fort Scott business men.
the charter providing that it should be
built from St. Louis to the east line of
Bourbon county. About the same time
another road was chartered. this to build
from Fort Scott west through Allen coun-
ty, the terminus being undetermined, or
at least not made public. simultaneously
the Santa F'e acquired terminal property
in Fort Scott to the value Of about $40 900,
and it was then believed that that COM
pany was behind both enterprises, which
should give through line from Kansas
City to Texas. Right OF way for~the St.
Louis line was secured and in Kansas a
number of miles were graded before the
and upset temporarily the construction
of the line. At the same time about AZ
miles west was graded out of St Louis.
and since then the charter has not been
allowed to lapse. 1t was transferred par
LlsalAy, however. TO 81 LOUIS cApltells ",
and now the line is under construction
from St Louis westward. Santa Fe en-
gineers were in Fort Scott a few months
ago and their operations led TO the bellef
that the Santa Fe was still behind the
proposed line and that work on it would
be resumed.
Now it is announced that the directors
will hold a special meeting in Fort Scott
on June q, the purpose being to place
pletion Of the road.
In this connection it is surmised that
nounced a few days ago to build from
Fort Scott to Florence. The theory is
that in this way the road would give st.
Louis a fresh outlet to Texas and at the
same time reach the gas belt OF Kansas.
