RAILROAD BUILDING IN OKLA.
Santa Fe TO Be Extended North to
Fort Dodge, Kan.

Guthrie, Okla, May THE con
tract has been let to the johnston Con
struction Company of Amarillo, Texas,
and work will begin at once on the
extension of the Denver, Enid and
Gulf line of the Santa Fe system, now
operating northwest from Guthrie to
Kiowa. Kan, a distance of l25 miles,
to Dodge City, Kan. For some time
the Santa Fe has been trying to pur-
chase the Rock Islands Bucklin
branch as a portion of the extension
to Dodge City, but has finally with
drawn negotiations and will construct
a line the entire distance to Dodge.
| This extension gives the Santa Fe
system an important cutoff between
its main lines running from the Gull
north and from Chicago west to the
/ Pacific coast. It is stated that the
! increasing business Handled each
month by the Denver Enid and Gulf
| from Guthrie to the northwest has
| been such that the construction OF
the extension to Dodge City has be
come matter of necessity. At the
present time the traffic originating at
the Gulf ports for shipment west to
the coast must be carried due north
to the intersection with the east and
west line and then due west compris-
ing haul along the two legs of a right
angled triangle. With the connection
shifted west to Dodge City from Guth-
rie. the route is shortened by a great
number Of miles.
1t develops, too, that the Fort Smith
and Western is anticipating a Mem
phis connection in the near future
through the construction of line,
now in progress across Arkansas from
Memphis to Fayetteville. The inten-
ton of the Fort Smith and Western
is to build the connecting link be-
| tween Fort Smith and Fayetteville
| Southwest from FL Reno, Okla, the
intention of the Fort Smith and West
ern is to build to connection with
the Orient railroad, thus giving an
outlet to Pacific coast. The present
indications are that the proposed
amendment to section 9, article Q, Of
the state constitution, which wouic
encourage railroad building in The
state, was defeated, and for this rea
son it will be impossible for the For
Smith and Western to use the Kat
lines, as intended, into Oklahoma City
from Falls, point thirty miles cas-
OF Guthrie. Instead, if the Fort Smitf
and Western enters Oklahoma Cit'
the company must build its own trac'
into that city, and it is understood thi!
will be done from Richland, in Cana
dian county, point twenty miles ives
OF Guthrie.
