pany, with $4,000, 900 capital stock.
Mangum Is the southwestern terminus
of the Rock Island in Oklahoma. It
has been completed about two years
and has made q very paying invest
ment, striking a rich cotton area as
well as unlimited granite deposits In
Greer county. The line chartered last
week runs southwest from Mangum
and the route selected takes 1t
through the Texas cattle belt as well
as the coal fields in the Mescalero In
dian reservation In New Mexico. Such
an extension would prove invaluable
to the Rock Island and would also

road would be constructed many miles
