More Than Meets Expectations.

More Than Meets expectations
After the Choctaw road was built
and the steel laid It was long time
before the management of the road
put on a passenger train service. They
run the train only six times a week.
Since the service went into effect
the travel over the road has more than
met their most sanguine expectations.
Last Sunday they run a special train
over here, and while only few knew
of it's coming, still the train was
crowded both coming and going, show
ing to the management that they
should have put on daily service in
stead of six day a week.
Their freight business is. increasing
wonderfully. Roadmaster Ryan told
the Ardmoreite this morning that Sun.
day there were between South Nc
Alester and Haileyville and in that
neighborhood 1900 cars loaded with
coal and freight ready to be moved.
