LINES OF RAIL S
Are Being sRapidly Laid On Both
Sides of the Present Tracks
To Accomadate the Cars
C onsigned to This
Point.

The congestion oItrafiic incident
to the great increase Of the ship
ping sbusiness to and from Vinita
has resulted in the Frisco system
putting an army Of men at work
laying new side tracks in their
yards here.
On both sides of their tracks
long Zines Of rails are being rapid
ly laid to accumulate the cars
load with freight which is con-
signed to this place. On this work
alone, over 100 men are employed
and the improvements will cost
about 81 600.
AT present the tracks are totally
inadequate to accumulate the cars
and day and night switch engines
are indusiriously engaged IN an
attempt to make room for the
trains which come putting In a.
short intervals. A few miles west
d work train is dumping ballast
and large force Of men are en-
gagged in improving the road bed,
The importance Of Vinita as 9
shipping point was recognized by
the Frisco officials sometime age
and a iobbing rate was given the
local shippers. The resulting
business has been more than was
anticipated and the yards have
been congested with freight cars
for several months.
The Improvements now beint
made were inspected today By
Carl Gray, superintendent Q
transportation. Mr.. Hammond
superintendent maintenance Q
way, and George Schiller, divisior
superintendent. The officials
were well pleased with the wori
which has been accomplished un
der the direction Of Road Master
Shanahan, and it will be pushed
rapidly to completion.
