cial The Pauls Valley Hallway a
lino from thu coal fluids of tho Choc-
taw nation and It Is believed bysomo
a Kansas City Southern project put a
big party of engineers In tho field
from this point today locating tho line
of road from this place southeast to
Rod rlvor. This road U considered one
of tho most Imiwrtant and stratcgetlc
railroad moves that has been nmdo In
Indian Territory or Oklahoma since
tho building; of the old Choctaw &
Gulf line that haR developed Into ono
of the greatest coal and traffic urterles
of the southwoHt in tho past seven
years.
The Pauls Valley railroad while on
ly ISO miles long will make a cut-off
In freight and passenger trafllc of
over 110 miles and will save Ilvo hours
in freight and two hours in passenger
trnlllc on all distribution of freight
and passenger buslnoss west of Mc-
Alerter and Coalgate for points west
of Oklahoma City and 121 Keno.
The line of tho road opens up a bolt
of country over 74 miles wide be-
tween the Frisco and Santa Fo north
and south and between the Santa Fo
and Uock Island railroads north and
south in the Chlchasaw and Choctaw
nations. This territory Is known to bo
the llneat body of agricultural land In
tho territories and only awaiting tho
magic touch of shipping and transpor-
tation facilities to develop It Into ono
of the heavlost producing and thickest
settlod portion of Indian Territory.
Tho line of the road follows mc
Washita and Rush river valleys which
are from seven to eighteen miles wide
most of tho way.
Tho offect of this road on Pauls
Vnlloy which will be tho shop and di-
vision headquarters of tho line will
be to lift Paula Valley from a big and
growing retail town to a main point
on a heavy trafllc lino.
It Is estimated that tho Pauls Val-
ley railroad will on account of air lino
.mileage" divert fully 33 per cent of
freight and 20 per cent of passenger
business. Hint now is routed via Ok-
lahoma City alono. I ' I
