important gateways in the territory by di-

son of natural advantages and railroad
connections the gateway for the middle
west, and without straight connection
between this state and the network of
lines in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas
the cOmbina ton would meet one Of its
most serious drawbacks in completing the
policy 1t has outlined
The work on the line into Denver from
Ardmore to Lawton is being rapidly push

NO FRILLs AND RUFFs.
Why the Santa Fe Refused to Deco
rate It's Roosevelt Engines

a number of people have inquired Of
late as to why the Santa F7e engines
drawing the special of President Roose-
Welt and party were not decorated, says
the Albuquerque Journal-DemOcrat.
Such a step is contrary to all rules and
regula tons of the Santa F'e system. 1t
is argued that such use of flags and
bunting is often mistaken for signals
while the decorations obstruct the view
of the enginemen more or less, thus
counting accident. The company did all
in its power to offer the best and finest
looking engines in the stalls, but drew
the line on frills and ruffs.
