A very intelligent aud successful
busInees man Of this city has Just re-
turned from Journey Of observation
70 the counties north aud west from
Dallas. liIa observations aud c0nclu'
sIona are entitled TO weight and con-
sderalion on any subject affecting the
buHnoHs interests OF the city. Our
friend visited Gainesville In his trip,
and there the merchants, M elsewhere,
stated that they would he glai TO trade
1T Dallas, II only they could have n
freight rate established, or any p0ssi-
bly, way TO ship ut amy reasonably cost.
This IN u grave circumstances, aud the
Importance Of II 10 the city cannot
well be oyerestimated.
Either the Dallas and Wichita must
loo completed at once, or our mer'
chants should join with those OF the
outlaying western towns In establish
ing II line Of wagons to run regularly,
and upon which the people can rely
for tho quick and certain transporta'
ton of freight. There II no excuse
possible for the delays which have oc-
cured In the resumption OF work on
the Dallas ~ Wichita, which II COM
pletod would relieve this pressing
business need, more completely and
perfectly than anything else. II the
old .womanish policy which has been
continued 30 long IL still to obtain
with regard to IT, we might ~ well
study the ireighting problem from
some other stand point.
This rlcn trade, which IL persstently
knocking at our doors and being as
persistently turned away, il very valu-
able and 1t will not knock always.
II will find other outlets, and Dallas,
because few men cannot reconcile
their adverse interests In a petty rail-
road scheme, must be made to sulier
incalculable mischief We are of the
opinion that II our merchants would
get together and organize II wagon
train for business to the west and
northwest, send out their men to in
vite the trade and exemplify our BUSH
ness advantages, much of the evil in-
nicted by the unreasonable detention
OF the Dallas and Wichita may be
overcome. The people of the region
named have all traded here In times
past and desire to continue the relaN
ton, but are forced away because we
have not got the facilities to get our
goods to them.
We are reduced to this simple pre-
dicament, and it il no use to try to es-
cape the unpleasant conclusion. We
must either complete the Dallas and
Wichita at once, falling in this, estab-
lish the wagon line, or give up the
trade upon which Dallas has thrived
in the past, and upon which her flu
ture Importance AMI commercial well.
being very largely depends. We trust
our merchants and property holders
will consider this matter, and at the
same time assure them that our coli
umns are open for suggestions, and n
full discussion OF the ways and means.
