We are having some winter at
last. Wheat is suffering for rain
or snow.
Was out on the Missouri South
ern railroad last week. Business
is rushing in that section. The
Missouri Southern in running ten
trains every day. They average
80 cars every day. The freight on
each car of lumber is about S24.
Then they get a rake-off of about
1-3 on the | M r. R.. to st. Louis,
and the freight and express is a
very paying proposition, to say
nothing of the passenger business,
which is also good. This road is
under the management of 7. j.
Fredricks, general manager, and
Mr.. Radke, superintendent. They
certainly understand their bust
ness | called at the big store of
L. M. Copeland, Ellington. He
is doing a wonderful business.
He carries about S15, 900 stock of
goods. He buys his goods by the
car load. | also met with Frank
Hackworth. He is a buyer of pine
lumber on the Missouri Southern
railroad and is shipping it to his
mill and dressing it.
Lat Mathews, who is working for
Frank, is quite sick at this writing.
The Missouri Southern railroad
is locating 4 new side tracks be-
tween Reynolds and Bunker,
about 10 miles. There will be
several mills put on lumber at
these side tracks. There is a body
of pine forest IL miles wide and
80 miles long that this road runs
through. This pinery is owned by
Knapp-S Stout Co. of st. Louis. Vel
low pine is worth Sill to Sl3 per
thousand on cars on that road.
There are also several planning
mills running out in that country ;
the Bunker mills cut about 100
thousand feet every day and they
also have a planer running night
and day. Any one wanting work
or hauling, that is the place to 60.
