The Fort Smith and Western to Build
TO ST. L0uis.

Guthrie. Okla. Feb. 3.-Ths Fort
Smith & Western Railroad Co has de-
fnitely decided to build its own indie
pendent line into St. Louis, work on the
extension to begin during the present
year. This road WAS recently completed
rs an independent line between Fort
Smith, and Guthrie. distance Of $50
miles. 1t was originated by George E.
HAYDEN, a banker of Ishpeming Mich.
who died just prior to the completion Of
the road and the presidency fell to A. c.
Dustin a banker Of Cleveland o. II has
always been commended that the line was
financed by the Prick interests Of Pitts
burg. In order to tap the rich coal and
asphalt fields Of Indian Territory. This
company has opened numerous mines
along the Fort Smith & Western route,
ali Of which are now in active opera
ton.
The decision to construct the line to
st Louis resulted at the annual business
meeting of the stockh olders in Cleve-
land, O., during last month. Such an
extension had been contemplated how
ever since the completion of the road to
Guthrie last October. Contractors,
who built the road between Fort Smith
and Guthrie. have received assurances
that the St Louis extension will be
built, and have been requested to hold
themselves in readiness to take portions
of the contract. The extension will pass
through an undeveloped part Of South
eastern Missouri and will be u shorter
line from Oklahoma TO st. Louis by
ninety-six miles than the Frisco. Rail
road men say this is one Of the most
feasible lines projected In recent years
The extension is the result of Frick E
desire TO have an eastern outlet for his
Indian Territory mineral field.
The prophecy Of the late Pres Hay
den, the father OF the Fort Smith &
Western, was that the road would build
TO both Pueblo, Colo. and the Mexican
border and this is expected in Oklahoma,
1t ia believed that the st. Louis, FL Reno
& Western, recently completed between
Guthrie and FL Reno will ultimately
result in a Fort Smith & Western exten.

meauest tricks along this line {:
There was an Old soldier, j. T.
Hughes who had been dong the
carpenters work at the blind asy.
lum for about lG years. The state
paid him - a day for the time he
put in aud nothing when he was
idle. Davis kicked this poor Old
fellow out Of his job aud put his
own brother.n-law, Sam ThatCh,
in his place; raised Sans wages
to SO month, straight time, and
gave an assistant at $50 a day so
that sam wouldn't have TO work
nj all. Sam boards at the blind
school aud the state fOOts the bill.
The old soldier had to board at his
home and pay the bill out of his -
a day. Old comrades, you who fol-
lowed the starry cross through
summers heat and winters cold,
half clothed, half starved aud who
never falteled in your duty to our
loved southland, what doyou think
of this man Davis az a friend TO

TX Governor Eagle on Davis.

IN al address before the Carroll
ID. Wood Club of over 100 mem.
bers at Little Rock recently, Ex.
Gov. Eagle said:
There iC no cleaner, straighter
man in Arkansas, or ont of il, than
Judge Wood. (Applause) But what
shall say about the other fellow 7
(Laughter) will say that ! believe
he is the greatest demagogue |
ever met IN my life. He will say
anything, will DO anything and will
stoop to anything TO furthur his
interests and think that q greater
calamity could not befall Arkansas
than TO elect Davis for "a third term.
Somebody said that the officers Of
a state or of a town were in u large
degree the standard of the people.
1t seems he has charmed our good
people of the country and would
make them believe he is the poor
mans friend; why, there is no
greater enemy in the state to q
poor man than Davis. What has
he done for the poor mani | be.
lieve that every true Democrat in
the state ought to throw himself
into this fight, go TO every Davis
man and talk 10 them with tears in
your eyes aud get them to reverse
their ideas. Let us talk to the
country people, there is where the
mass of voters are. We are going
TO have big fight and let us come
ont on the right side now and do
what We can to remedy the cOndi-
ton Of things before it is too late.
Arkansas has suffered immensely
from Davis abuse of power, 80 let
us vote for good government as
typihed in Judge Wood. If We do
this, | believe with all my heart
that Wood will be our next gov.
eruoI."
