ANOTHER JOINT EXTENSION.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Said to Be
Backing a Line.

The Rock Island Railway company
is making preparations to extend its
line west of Ardmore. I. T., to Waurika,
connecting there with the main line
and also with the branch from Lawton,
0. T. This line will afford direct con-
nection between Ardmore and Lawton.
1t is probable that the Rock Island
and Santa Fe people will build the road
jointly as they did fifty miles connect
ing Chickasha and Pauls Valley. The
theory seems plausible. since the Santa
Fe people have valuable oil lands ad
jacent to the proposed extension.

While some Democrats got scared in 1896 about
the currency that they would like policy OF
