g.. Louis, whittier they went last week to
confer with Mr.. j. w. Paramore, president OF
the TexsslS St.Louis Narrow Gauge railroad
COMPANY, concerning the proposition to ex'
tend the line of said road to Dallas. Cap-
tain Adams informed HERALD representa-
tive that President Paramore stated that he
would have the road 10 complete running or
der between ST. Louis and Texsrkana within
twelve months from this date, and that ii the
citizens of Dslss would secure for his road
the rieb bit of way thi ough the city and county,
and depot grounds Tnd the sum OF 800 Vuo'
he would guarantee tho compie,ion OF tne
line between cexarksna and Dallas "itn'h
the same period. In other words, II these
said conditions Ell uld be at once complied
with, we should have the continuous me
between our city and st. Louis by
or before the first of June nsxt. President
Paramore further said that be would be will
ing cheerfuliy to divide or share the said
rjpht of way with the St. Louis u San Fran
cisco road, coming into Dallas, or with any
other rosd. Now then is the accepted time
for our people to act with promptness and
energy. and it i: to be brped that the COM
mit,ee. with Mr.. j. S. Struggs rs chairman,
will hasten 10 the obtaining
of tho required things.
THE CHICAGO, TEXAS & MEXICAN CENTRAL
AND GALVESTON, COLORADO SANTA FEE.
Mr.. w. S. Davis and Walter Gresham, oil
Galveston, arrived here yesterday, to repre-
sent the g., 9. & ). Fe road in conference
with President Hale and the directors OF the
C.. T. IL M. G. road, in the
matter of convenient and fair
arrangement for both companies to use the
line rom or near Cleburne to this point,
and hr nee northeas,erly toward Paris, thence
toward Chicago, etc. Some propositions
wers made looking to such an end, ana the
probabilities are that .. copsumma-
lion will be eventually reschen,
though the nature and the details
being only provisional it is too early to state
them. Il may be not irrelevant to announce
however, that we may expect the G., o. d
S. Fe cars to be running into Dallas before
this year sholl have its close.
THE EAST LINE ROAD.
The rumor that has been preVslliES LOT
the past couple Of days, that d
construction contract bad been let to extend
this road TO Denton vie McKinf ey, transpres
to be without foundation; nor is the report
any more correct that it had combined with
the Texas and ST Louis narrow-gauge. L.
has also been quite generally asserted thAt
Mr., Gould now owned the controlling interest
in that line. This also is without any
confirmation, as Mr.. Thos. Scott, Jr, still
retains the interestwhich was said 10 have been
disposed of. La view of Dallas being now
decreed as the great railway centre, 1t
is clear why that company should naturally
enough conclude to come here.
COLLATERAL ENTERPRISES.
In the event of these several desideratd
being concluded on shortly, we are to have
at an early day, car factory, several
Ground" houses ard machine shops, and
other enterises of great moment to Dallas.
Considering that this city has already
donated sorething like quarter OF
million of dollars for her railroads, and that
she has met and will continue to meet
promptly ell interests on the bonds, it is but
the rightful course of things that these even
tual benefits should accrue, and indeed be
cheerfully sccorted 70 her. Dallas is resdy
to give and 70 yet n1Dfe for whatever shall
be shown 80 ts 10 the general interest.
