With the shortest route between Kansas City and Port Arthur on the Gulf of Mexico, the K.C.S. does a good business each year carrying coal, oil and farm products. It joins the L. & A. at Shreveport. The man who built the Kansas City Southern into a first-class railroad was bush-bearded old Leonor Fresnel Loree of the Delaware & Hudson R.R., ousted from his post of stewardship on the K.C.S. last year by Paine, Webber after a long-drawn-out fight at the corporate polls...
