j The St. Eouis, El Reno & Western
j Railway company are pushing their
grading at a rapid rate. There are
over .100 teams at work or moving on-

Canadian and school house number 20
is finished and is ready for the bridg-
ing. and the graders are pushing on
toward Guthrie. On T. B. Morris'
place is the heaviest portion of the
finished grade, and it Is one of the
prettiest pieces of railroad work on
the line. The long fill there is 35
feet high and 135 feet wide on the
base, and is dressed as smooth as a
floor.
The next heavies^ work is on Rhoda
s place twelve miles northeast
id El Reno. Wood, Hancroft & Doty
are doing this work. Their camp is
just below the hill in the deep out
north of school house number 20, and
the camp at this point presents an
interesting appearance.

from school house number 20 to Guth-
rie. except in several instances where
more than one mile has been sublet to
one contractor.—Okarche Times.
