delivered by the Mallory line through

'sI was told that the actual grading
Of the extension was commenced last
week at Tucumcari and that the line
grading camp is to be put to work at
the Amarillo end and the work rushed
as fast as possible.
There is considerable gossip as to
the ultimate extension of the Choctaw-
The general impression over there seems
to be that the extension to Tucumcari
is to give the Rock Island-Choctaw
people direct connection with Denver
over the Dawson coal road and the Col
orado lines. Whether this is true or not
the extension to Tucumcari will give the
Choctaw a coal supply from the Daw-
son fields, and make the line independ-
ent of the Indian Territory coal fields.
