Sec. field president Of the proposed St Louis, Arkansas and Pacific Railroad, has just returned from a two months business trip to New York City, where he went in the interest of his com pany. While there arrangements were about completed for the capital ization of the road by English and French bankers, who see in the prop osition a very promising investment from every standpoint
 The line runs from St. Louis to the gulf, total length of S10 miles con sisting of four divisions wis: First from St. Louis to the Arkansas-Mis souri state line, 1S0 miles; second from the said state line to the Ark ansas River, 120 miles. Throughout this half especially, if not the entire distance. the road will traverse prac- tically virgin territory from a com mercial standpoint, the development of which. when penetrated by a road, will make it the best territory for a railroad, in the matter of tonnage, Tn the United States
 The road extending as it does. from St. Louis ito the gulf, will penetrate
 the center of the State of Missouri the northwestern part of Arkansas and follow the Texasd4ouisiana line to the gulf. It will cross the Missouri X North Arkansas road at Harrison, and from here it will run through one of the largest mineral, timber and coal belts in the south in Boone New ton and Johnson Counties and on through the Fort Smith section.
