TUB IF TIE STATE
Many Good Tbiags Are Headed |
Toward tl»e "Queen of tbe
Arkansas Valley.*'
Ralston has many good things instore
for it this year, unless something un-
foreseen Odeura. !
first comes the long deferred oil dev-
elopment. A location has been made on [
W. L. McCullough’s farm and drflling i
will start some time within the next few |
weeks. This is, of course, proven oil and
gas territory, but the sise is yet to be de-
termined. We bear very little oil talk
here In Ralston, but in surrounding cit-
ies the belief prevails that Ralston is]
THE coming oil town of the State.
Next comes the new line of railroad
which will give Ralston direct connect- j
ions with Kansas City. According to
Pawhuska papers, the 8enta Fe officials
say this line will be completed this year.
' Most of the grading to already done, and
it will not taka long to lay the track,
once a crew is assembled. Just how much j
this new line will help Ralston it is hard
to say but it will mean better tranapor- j
tation facilities at any rate, and add to 1
the town’s chances of securing factories |
and wholesale houses. And of course
there is a chance of Ralston’s being made'
a division point.
Oh, Ralston is sura to grow; the only i
obstacle is that speculators are holding j
so many lots that outsides* cannot find
a location when tkqr want to come in.
