IVIilcs a Day.
Manager Jones received a dispatch
yesterday evening from Sapulpa stat-
ing that the track laying had been
started on the St. Louis & Oklahoma
City railroad yesterday morning.
Mr, Jones says that 100 cars of steel
rails are ready at Sapulpa and near
Sapulpa for the track laying fore .
and that the yards at Sapulpa are full
of ties.
The grading will not check track
laying, as every contractor lias his
work so well in hand that he can
easily complete it before the track-
layers meet him.
The bridgework is well in hand and
will give the tracklayers no trouble.
The bridge contractor has 400 men at
work and is pushing the work rapidly.
The tracklaying will be done by a
double force and can be pushed at the
rate of a mile a day.
If'there were no delays the track
could be completed to this city by July
10, but the managers do not expect to
get through so soon. They expect to
be ready for traffic by September 1.
Mr, Jones was wired to come to Sa-
pulpa to drive the first spike, but he
was too busy with right of way to
spend any time on sentimentalities.
