RAILROAD NORTH WOULD SERVE
DISTRICTS RICH IN RESOURCES


now ready to take concrete form in the proposal by the Haskell
interests
Quite naturally and quite properly is the inquiry-Who arc the
Haskell interests
1t IS a group of empire builders headed by former Governor
Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma. organizer and chairman of the
board of the Middle States Oil Corporation, one of the largest in
the country. a builder of railways in Oklahoma. Texas and other
oil sections connecting oil producing fields with market points, a
distinguished civil engineer with a university legal training and years
and have unquesioned financial resources and ability to put the
proposed road through and equip it. Briefly, this is what the
Haskell interests amount to.
These are the people who are knocking at the door Of Casper
and other cities through the north central part of the state asking if
we want them to build a railroad and what we will do to help
them accomplish it.
The point seems plain. Are we going to take our hands out
of the dshwater. wipe them on our apron. open the door and invite
the gentlemen in. or are we going ahead with our own trivial dish
washing. permitting the door to remain closed and ourselves deaf
to the rappiag2
There is no argument that can remain valid against the con-
Itructon of a railroad through a country needing it as badly as a
country through which the proposed line is projected1Casper,S Salt
Greek, Buffalo. Sheridan and on down the Tongue river valley to
Miles City. The route is ideal. the country is potential in resources.
the future traffic large and suggestive of splendid dhidends. And
still the question-Do the people want this railroad and vii. they
do their part1
Do they want additional traffic facilities?
Do they want competing lines?
Do they want lower freight rates7
Do they want increased population?
Do they want more industrial institutions?
Do they want the business increase and activity that go with a
larger chy2
Do they want the natural rise in value Of property that attends
growth and expansion2
In short. do they want the one thing that will bring most of the
things they desire and the things that will be lacking without ia
The matter is squarely up to. the people to show their interest
and put a shoulder to the wheel.
