Regarding The Altus Hellwestern
Xt e following letter was re-
ceived this week from Dr. J. M.
\ Robinson, who formerly was the
pastor of thj Baptist church at
this place and is now in Okla-
homa. Dr. Robinson's letter
needs no comment. The fact
ttiat the road is coming our way
is enough. The letter was ad
dressed to W. C. Smithee.

of cars loaded with steel rails
and ties leave Altus last Wednes-
day morning, on the tracks of
the Altus, Roswell & El Paso Ry.

Erection of Silverton. I did for a
fact. Did any body up there
ever hear of Altus and Hollis?
Well I was in Altus last Pues
day night from ten o'clock until
nine next day.
"Going up the street to a res-
taurant to get a belated suDper
I met face to face a Mr. Kennedy
and talked with him. Ever hear
of him? He told me that he had
fulfilled his promise, had sold to
a substantial company who were
actually building the road, and
that he had premised to have it
built, which is being done. Lat-
er at the hotel I talked with a
construction foreman who told
me that they commenc ed to lay
the rails Monday. That's how I
came to see the train start next

a train ran down to Eldorado,
and then drove thirty miles out
to Hollis, where I spent two
d lys and nights. I saw num-
bers of gangs of men and teams
in both directions raising the
grade where it had settled, and
putting things iu shape for ties

told me at Altus that they would
be running trains as far as Hol-

wondering what the railroad is
doing or what is being .done to
it, just tell them what I saw and
was told by the boss who is do

saying when the road will reach
Silverton. It's forty miles from
Altus to Hollis and I know things
