FOR AMARILLO
A Guthrie Okla dispatch lD the
Dallas New gives the following ac
count of the chartering of a new com
pany In Oklahoma to build a line
of road Into Amarlllo:
The Kansas & Texas railway was
chartered lodsy to build iieveral
hundred inllea south from Garden
City Kan. via (iuymon. OUa.. to
Amarlllo Tex. thence aoutheabt to
Houston Tex. Tile estimated coht I
$5000000 for which sum the road
la capitalized.
In Kansas tho road will cross tho
counties of Kinney Ha.tkoM Frank
and Stevens In Oklahoma ihe county
of Texasal and Texas the counties
of Hansford Hutchinson. Moore
Potter Randall Swisher. Floyd
Dickens Stonewall Jones Callahan
Brown Comanche Hamilton Coryell
Bell Milan Washington Wallace

soclated with him are John L. Gllnon
C. M. Funk. G. W. Gllson. J. n. Me-
Cullough W. C. Crow and Karl Gil
son of Guymon.
Reported Move for !and.
In connection with tho account
given In the News It la stated on
local authority that moves have
been made toward securing right of
way for this latest railroad project
and that guarantee for part of the
route are already made. To most
people here however the Qutbrle re-
port comes as an entirety new prop-
osition. From here to Garden City. Kan.
the foad .would traverse a rich and
rapidly developing territory now
without railroad facllltlea. South
from here the proposed II nn make:;
through a new country for the same
terminus as that for the contemplated
Brownwood-Texlco extension of the
Santa Fe. It would give on a shorter
mileage and more favorabb grades
than any other route now In exist
ence an outlet for middle and west
ern Kansas an for all of western
Texas to Galveston.

Dallas. Tex.. Oct. 28. With the
meeting today of the Texas Five Mil
lion club at the state fair It I prob-
able that the project for holding a
Texas Diamond Jubilee exposition
will be fairly launched. The move
ment has received enthusiastic en
dorsement 111 over tho state and the
principal matter yet to be definite-
ly decided J the location of the ex
position. The cltlrens of Dallas and
Fort Worth have Joined in asking
that the big fair bo held at Arlington
a village midway between the two
cities. Saq Antonio and Auatln are
working in double harness with the
lda ot havng the exposition located
somewhere between the state capital
and the Alamo city and El Paso far
out on th western border is pulling
alone with the greatest of confidence
lQ ultimate success. The people of
La Porte r.d League City have also
suggested that the exposition be held
at Clear Lake. Many railroads puss
within a few miles of the lake and
in addition) to natural advantages
the spot is .but a few miles distant
from the Sao Jacinto battleground
one of the historic sites of Texas.
