OPENING THE GATE TO TEXAS.

The public have watched with intense inter-
est everything concerning the progress towards
securing rail communication with Texas
and for the very best reason. The most
stubt orn skeptic has at last been awakened to
the fact that 1t is an absolute necessity for the
commercial prosperity of our city. and that the
earlier Texas is tapped the earlier will this
great metropolis regain the bloom and vigor of
other years.
Charles a. Whitney. ESQ.,. the we'll known and
courteous agent here of the Morgan railway
and steamship lines, returned from New York
on Thursday evening, and he gives the most
encouraging account of what has al eudy been
accom- plished towards completing his road to
VermIlionville and thenGet0 Orange.
Although he at present cannot give the minu-
tiB of the arrangement5 made by him during
his recebt visit to New York. he gave enough to
ass,ire tbe people that 1t will not be long before
n railroad will be an actual fact.
Mr. whitney, az soon as he can. will give
full detail of the contracts made. etc. The work
is now being pushed forward rapidly, and the
steeI rails and ali the materials necessary are
en- route and It will take bs ..sf.a ~. sy before
to Vefmilionville the road will be laid and roll
ing stock upon 1t.
There is an understanding with Messrs.
Terry d Co., of Texas, regarding the building
of the line from the Sabine river at Orange this
way. and when this is done the line win be
complete.
One thing is very certain. and that is the
Morgan agents are thoroughly in earnest In
that. too. in as short a space of time as Is pos
Ethla.

Mr.. Mcconnell. counsel for the city, after
going over the testimony given on the previous
day in favor Of the claimant, objected to the
photographic plan, dated In 1916 and made by B.
