made last week, by which the Rock
Island obtained II controlling inter-
est in the Frisco system, it is cur
rently rumOrcd in st. Louis rail-
road circles that the survey recent
ly made east Of Pennington was
not the survey Of the Iron Noun
tain system, but was made by the
Rock Island,
As is generally known, the Rock
Island has M isolated line Of rail
road running east and west from
Memphis, Tenn, through north
arn Arkansas and central Okluho-
ma to n point in the Texas Pam
Handle. To establish effective
transportation facilities with the
North, it was absolutely necessary
thnt this isolated line should have
some direct connection with st.
Louis and Chicago, other than that
offered by the roundabout way via

pose that the recent survey was
made.
HOW THE IRON MOUNTAIN HANDLES
IT'S HEAVY FREIGHT.
That the survey through Farm
ington, usually accredited 10 the
Iron Mount'u, was not made by that
system for the purpose of avoiding
the heavy grades on the main line,
is borne out by the fact that the
Iron Mountain now runs its heavy
trains over the st. Louis Valley
road, Il line owned by the lrot
Mountain, running from st. Loui:
to Thcbes, on the Illinois side d
the Mississippi river. All of thu
heavy freight handled hy the lro.
Mountain goes over this route t.

new bridge, and is carried over tn,
Cotton Belt tracks to Dexter

branch road to Piedmont, wher,
the main line takes it up
The Rock Island Frisco combinu
has excluded all possibility of tn,
lately surveyed road being built
which leaves Pennington still
looking for "A railroad.
EFFECT ON ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The fact that Pennington vii

the success of the electric railway
1t is extremely probable, had

Pennington directly with st

EAGLE EYE" 4"
Makes Some Observations Of Things
About Flat River.

suppose some Of your readers
would like to hear that the South
ern Missouri railroad first saw the
waters of the great Flat River this
p. m. February 26th). With the
assistance of Central Lead Co. s
switch engine the Southern Mis-
souri, engine brought boarding and
working equipment cars in over
the Lead Belt railroad, and tn c
Hotel Southern" is now stationed
at the Central mill. | presume
that track laying will be pushed
both ways until the disputed spot
of the M. X. Il b. r. is reached
which is about one and a hall
miles. So look out, Johnny, they
might cross.
To read the papers from st
Louis and some of our Othel
Christian countries, Flat River ant
st. Francois county is the center
of cut throats and highway rob
berry, and should anyone from
neighboring counties come in he i,
armed for the occason. A few day,
ago we had among us a young maj
of some twenty summers to visi
the works. He wore a large cart
ridge belt on the outside of hi
coat filled with AS and one or tw,
large pistols, one hand on one O
them all the time. Some of tn
boys said they were 88-calibre; bn
they were scared, ! guess. Now
| must say we have as good an,
many church going people as an
other place with the moving popu
lation we have here. Our mer
chants, except one or two, clos
their stores on Sunday, and thos
who fail to do so should be mad
