westward ho!" No part of the
country has made as rapid develop
ment in the past ten years as the
southwest. This is particularly true
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
The railroads have been the civilizers
The great Frisco system has taken
the lead in this part That system
has done more to encourage emmigTa-
tion TO this new undeveloped country,
to advertise its resources. to build up
its cities, than any other agency.
Arkansas is now coming under its
influence. especially the southwest
part OF the state.
Mr.. W H. Come and Mr.. f. r..
Johnson. the Frisco boomers. have
been in Pensacola for the past week
and have interested many OF the best
citizens in their Immigration and.
colonization proposition As a result

The magic employed TO produce
such results is railroad liberalit, and
