There are two strong reasons why the Iron Mountain railroad should extend it's line West from Warren 60 Camden. One Is that the Rock Island is building a line of road West of Warren, which when completed will con trol the trade West of the Saline river, unless the Iron Mountain IS extended into that territory, and the other Is that the South ern Development Company is preparing to build railroad from this city to Pine Bluff, which, when completed, will control all the traffic North and West unless the Iron Mountain is extended West People going from this section to Texas would hardly care to go by Dermott and lay over three or four hours to catch a train to Pine Bluff, when they could take the train direct from here to Pine Bluff, and catch q Cotton Belt train and be in Texarkana before they could reach Pine Bluff via Der mott. The Iron Mountain rail road Is a business institution and controlled by shrewd busi- ness people. The extension, West, to Camden will soon be made.
