Tho work to erect station buildings und tele graph poles will ho commenced soon. At Plqua connection is made with tho Katy, which is also the case at Mo ran.

Pat Harmon, a well known old Memphis roud engineer, has taken tho position of superintendent of motive power and machinery on that system and Barney Barclay of this city, is gener al roadmaster. Superintendents Har mon und Delano are now home, the Katy having given back the engine it loaned tliom for a fow days and they being left without any motive power by this selfish act. General Manager Henderson and President McDonuld am pushing the work of building acroos tho Neosho river, and when this Is completed tho mileago of the system will bo Increased from fifteen to eighteen or twenty miles. Tho Missouri Pacific road has put on another "turn-around" fi eight train between this city and Iola, mak ing two such trains dully. They inuko u round trip each day. '.The gicut In crease In this business Is occasioned by the large ore shipments to the lola smelters and tho cement plant to east ern markets. Besides the ote which Is brought uii on the new Jopliu train on tho Fort Scott and Southern branch of tho Paeillc that road receives trom eight to ten curs of ore every day from tho Frisco.
