nor,hwes. cvrner Of Arkansas. Tho scheme
IA a vast one, destined TO introduce milo
Of people into TeHas, and serve rs one OF lno
erandest engines in the development OF our
stala vet conceived. Our people must,
therefore, understand that ia an enterpFlseso
grand, we must not expect sbasmodic spurs
al this or that point, but careful ex9mihs'
tion of the route throughout it's length before
the investment of money and the c 'mmence-
mert OF actual work on the road. The gen
eral scheme is well understood, but Preilml
nary surveys must be made before any cor
siderable length Of tho road can be located
and work commenced. These examinations
have been in progress some time and are YET
under way. The gentlemen in charge, Pres
i1ent Hale and associates, after detailed
conversation with him, we feel authorized TO
say, are equal TO the emergency prudent,
skillful business men, who are adopting
such preliminary, advisory ana prudential
measures IS are dictated by sound Judgment
and buslness experience Our people must
ba patient and have little leaven of faith 10
men who have shown their faith byjudicious
expenditure OF their own money. Ehey
have asked nothing of Dallas until they shall
have built fifty miles Of road. When that is
done. none will doubt the intent aud ability
of the company to carry forward the grent
measure, SO fraught With good TO Texas.
This extrsordina il,hnI winter has
greatly retarded measures, but within few
weeks the people will see demonstrations
sufficient to dissipate doubts. We must con-
slider all these facts and difficulties and
allow time for the company to collect the
fscis which common sense dictates before
enbarliug practically in the great work.
