S-W MISSOURI
Gets FRANCHISE
Pres. Rogers Pleased and May
Decide to Build West to
Mines First.

chlSe lor forty-nlne years, 10 inc
Southwest Missouri Railway COM
pany, permitting that company to
build and operate an electric In
terurban railroad on certain streets
in Baxter Springs. The Ordin-
ance is published In full elsewhere
in this paper.
A. H. Rogers, president Of the
railroad company, and E. J. Pratt,
the superintendent, were present
at the council meeting. Mr.,
Roecrs spoke briefly before the
council took up the ordinance
question.
He stated that the work Of
constructing the line from Joplin
to Baxter would be taken up just
as soon as the company and the
city Of Galena had settled its
differences, and that would not
be long for his company was pre-
pared with surveys, ETC., to build
the line from here whether the
line went into Galena or not The
company has under consideration
an air line from here to Joplin
that would run south Of Galcna
and would cut down the running
time by several minutes. Quick
service Of course is what is de-
sired here.
1T is possible" Mr.. Rogers
stated to the council, that my
company will yet decide to build
a line from Baxter southwest
through the Picher- Baxter mining
district and put it in operation
before the line from Joplin here is
started" This statement, though
tentative, was received with much
enthusiasm by the number Of
citizens present. Railroad CON-
munication between here and the
new mining district is the thing
much needed here and prospects
Of its realization coming now
from Mr.. Rogers surely was good
news.

Oklahoma & Northern railroad,

to Baxter, was present and enter.

to come into the city on West
Sheridan street, a street included

Mayor Willard informed Mr..
Flood that the council could moi
consider his application at this
time. After the passage Of the
ordinance Mr.. Rogers publicly
assured Mr.. Flood that be would
gladly cooperate with the Bartles'
vile gentlemen in providing a
right Of way for their line into
this city and should they wish
they might run their trains into
the city over the Southwest Mis-
souri, tracks. 1t is believed that
the Oklahoma people will be
taken care Of nicely when the
time comes to pass on their appli'
cation for a franchise. s.,

with the friendly spirit manifested
by the city council and Baxter
