Frisco Officials Inspecting the Gifford Road at Kersey.

Wednesday was a big day in railroad circles at Kersey. The president of the Frisco system and other officials of that road are at kersey in their special train, the guests of Mr. Gifford. The. officials are picnicing on the river and inspecting the road on this trip. The Frisco system and the C. I. & 8. roads are each said to be negotiating for the purchase of the Gifford road and it may be sold to one of these companies. The Frisco is said to want the road to give them an outlet into Gary and Lafayette. This is one of the largest railroad systems in the country and if the Gifford road is acquired by the Frisco it will mean much for Jasper county.
