THE 'FRISCO LINE HEADING IN
THIS DIRECTION.
Seeond.
Canadian still inovea toward the
front and an occasional straw shows
that the wind is blowing her wiy
at a good stiff rate. Another rail-
road—the great /ft. Lcuis <fc Kan
Francisco system—is now almost
absolutely certain to ¿come here
during the next year. As is well
Known that system has long been
planning the constrution of a line
across the Panhandle and as early
as 1871 a surrey was made directly
up the valley of the Canadian river
from Ft. Reno in the Territory, but
the building of this line has been
delayed by a variety of causes and
it has not been pushed further in
this direction than Sepulpa. Now
however work is to begin at once
and be completed as speedily as can
be done. The old survey runs just
across the ri\er from Canadian, but
it believed that the road will cross
•a the Santa Fe bridge, whsa it is
built to this place.
The following letter from Mr F.
W. Bond, tho chief engineer oi the
road shows that the line will soon
be loeated permanently and that the
eld sarrey is regarded with favor
by the officials of the roadf Mr
Nesper and Mr Bond are friends of
many years standing and Mr Nesper
considers the letter as extremely
important and as dceisive of the
entire question.
