MO. PAC. ACQUIRES
FOUR RAILROADS
Stated That Auditing Work for All
Will Be Done in Kingsville —Gen-
eral Office Force to be Increased.
Current issue of the Missouri Paci-
fic Magazine arrived in Kingsville this
week and contains a most interesting
article entitled “Rounding Out the
System," graphically describing the
history of four Lines recently purchas-
ed by the Mo. Pacific, and the history
of each road. Included among these
is the Asherton & Gulf, Rio Grande
City and Sugarland railroads, with the
large and more important, San Anto-
nio, Uvalde & Gulf, purchased by the
Gulf Coast Lines. This makes a com-
plete linking up service for the M. P.,
with San Antonio, Valley points, all
of Southwest Texas and Northern
Mexico. A brief history of these roads
follows in the article, and they are in-
teresting to the layman in that they
contain much valuable information as
well as history of railroad extension
in this portion of imperial Texas.
Incidentally, it is stated that audit-
ing of these four lines will be hand-
led in Knigsville, no doubt necessitat-
ing a much larger general office force
in this city

R&R OFFICERS SOLD
ON THIS SECTION
Second R&R Enterprise in Kings-
ville to be Up to Highest Standard.
—Work on Building to Start Soon.
E. 11. Rowley and W. G. Underwood,
both of Dallas and both connected
with the it. & R. Enterprises, owners
of a long chain of picture show hous-
es in Texas, spent two or three days
in the city this week, looking over the
R. & R. Kings Inn Theatre, one of
their properties, and making plans for
the building of another play house,
work on which is to begin within a
very short time, the building to be
located on the lots occupied by the
X-L Barber Shop and the Kingsville
Tailoring Company.
Mr. Rowley, in speaking of the new
enterprise, said that it was the inten-
tion of his company to put in another
first-class picture show, one that
Kingsville people will be just, as proud
of us they are of the present Kings
Inn. “We believe in Kingsville," said
Mr. Rowley, "and our faith is evidenc-
ed by the fact that we are putting in
this second show. You have a town
now above the average and with its
prospects, the immediate future holds
possibilities undreamed of by even
your most optimistic citizens Develop
either of two or three industries in
sight and you will build a city. Your
oil prospects are not at all to be
laughed at. With two producing wells,
the field is liable to open at any time.
Your agricultural prospects, though, I
believe, hold out for you the most
flattering prospects. The development
of your agricultural resources cannot
help but build a city. Your college,
pay rolls of the railroad, creamery,
coupled with these other things, when
fully developed, cannot help but. make
of Kingsville one of the best, towns
in South Texas. You folks have plun-
ned a splendid foundation. Build on
it and you have suceedod. I repeat,
we believe in Kingsville."
