THE NARROW GUAGE-SMALL WE
ZOO HAVE TT

The Austin Statesman ePiUo"N''
the history and prospects OF the Mar
row Guage as follows:
1T is announced that Fred Grant
has been made president Of the West
ern Marrow Guage railway, q charter
for which was Outlined tho other
day. This road begins at Houston
and runsi in the direction OF LaGrange
and is now completed to the Brazos
river. It is the old road that ms
been struggling for so many years
for existence, and it was owned and
controlled by Houstonians until q
short time ago, when it was sold to
satisfy o mortgage, and was bought
id for company by MIR. Grant, who
has, since the purchase, been looking
over the proposed line, with the OBJ
iect Of at once beginning active op-
erations. The charter calls for the
line Of this rood to run through Fay
cite and Caldwell counties, and its
prospective terminus is in Sherman
county, one Of the extreme northern
counties Of tho Panhandle, limo OF
seven hundred miles, making it one
Of tho most extensive railways in the
state, and destined to make its con
noctions beyond the state with vast
narrow guage system now penetrat
ing tho territories and rapidly filling
them up with population to tho mag
nitude of states. Seven hundred
miles of narrow gaago railway DC
west is o big thing to contemplate, es-
veloping a vast region in tho north
pecially when it is considered that it
is backed by capital and energy, that
will build and put in operation two
hundred miles of railway within twelve
months from the time Of beginning
operations. It would not be unrea-
sonable, therefore, to conclude that
before the end Of 1883, this road will
be fully completed and equipped, and
that along its line will be conducted
q vast and profitable trade"
The Statesman then very pointedly
asks:
"Who is going to be benefited!
Houston certainly deserves benefits
and IL is going to have them. Austin
might it appears to us, secure vast
advantages from this line, and the
question, is will it make the necessa-
ry effort to absolutely have them.
The charter calls for this line to pass
probably, fifteen or twenty miles south
west of us. II will touch LaGrange
and Rastrop, and then the charter
calls for o movement across the Colo
RADIO TO traverse the country to the
southwark Of Austin. Itwould strike
the international railroad somewhere
in Hays county, probably, or ct New
Braunfels, and thence pass onward
TO the Panhandle"
San Marcos is peculiarly interested
in the question, who is to be bene
ftedf She is we believe one Of the
points on the original survey of the
road. and there is more reason why
she should be reached by it than New
Braunfels. The road would be Of in,
calculabls advantage 10 us-woud
in fact make San Marcos Q large and
town, No effort should
therefore be spared TO secure it Our
people should thoroughly wake up
TO the importance of this question,
and without delay leave no stone un-
