ID BE EXTENDED
NORTH ARKANSAS LINE ro 6E BUILT TO HELENA
 OR MEMPHIS.
II VIII Reach Little Rock by Way of Traffic Arrangement With
 Frisco.

Advices from St. Louis are to the effect that the St. Louis and Norti, Arkansas railroad is in process of re- organization, and that arranpement, have been made fer extending the road at the western end from Selio man, Mo, to Joplin. Mo, via Neosho and for extending the road from the eastern end from Leslie. Ark. To eith-= e. Helena, Ark, Or Memph s, Tenn, with q possible branch line to Little Rock. The company defaultea in in. terest payments on $3,065, ,000 of out. standing mortgage bonds, and after ward steps were taken for the reor- ganization of the company. The reor- eanization plan is in charge of a com mittee composed of John Sculin. Da- vid R. Francis, Powell Clayton, Rob, ert s. Broo1ings and Richard C. Kd- rens.
 It has not been settled whether the extension of the eastern end of the road will be to Helena or Memphis, but it is known that it will not run as a trunk line through Little Rock IL has not even been settled whether a branch line will be built to Little Rock or whether the North Arkansas road w Il have traffic arrangement
 With either the Iron Mountain or the Rock Island. Neither is it known where the road will strike the Iron Mountain, although it's present survey is to Garner, between Higginson and Beebe on the main line of the Iron Mountain. The road may connect with the Rock Island at Searcy, crossing son. Again it may go to Bald Knob and the Little Red r.ver west of Scar cy The plan is to make the St. Louis and North ArkaGSas line low-grade through line across north Arkansas. As the road is operated as a branch of the Frisco the arrangements to build the extens ons, with a possible significance.
 At Neosho and Jopl n the road will connect with the Missouri Pacific and the Kansas City Southern, and at Memphis or Helena with the princi- pal southeastern and southern lines. At Neosho and Joplin it will be but short distance from Santa Fe con nectiOns. The result of the improve ments will possibly be to give the Kansas City Southern or the Santa Fe a line to Memphis or Helena for southeastern or southern traffic.
 The St. Louis and North Arkansas is at present 13O miles long, running from Seligman, Mo-, to Leslie, Ark. With the extensions and branches it will be about $50 or 400 miles long. The lowest grade route across north Arkansas is now being located by sur veyors.
 The contemplated improvements will cost about s5,ooo.O00, and the St. Louis Union Trust company has i been selected as depository by the new company. The old road will prob ably be sold at foreclosure, and ip that event will be purchased by the reorganized company The reorgani- zation committee has full power to do whatever is necessary 10 bid in the property at foreclosure sale, to make the proposed extensions and to con- duct neeotfationS of any kind
