confer with MIR. J.W P~ramore, president of
the Texss& St.Louis Narrow Gauge railroad
company, concerning tho proposition to *.

tain Adams aformei HERALD representa-
tive that President Paramors stated that he
would have the road in complete running or.
der between st, Louh and Texsrksna within
twelve months from this date, and that if the
citizens of Dslas would secure for his road
the hit Of way through the city and countv,
and depot grounds, And the sum OF S35 600,
no would guarantee The completion of the
line between Texarkana aud Dallas within
he same period. La other words, il these
said conditions should BE- vt once compiled
with. we shouid have the continuous line
between our city and ST. Louis by
or before the first of jane nsxt President
Paramore further said that he would be wills
ing cheerfuliy to divide or share tho said
right of way with the ST. Louis e. San Frsn-
cisco road, comiug into Dallas or with any
other road. Now then is the accepted time
for our people to set with promptness and
energy; and it is to he hoped that the com.

THE CHICAGO, TEXAS Il MEXICAN CENTRAL.
AND GALVESTON, COLORADO SANTA FE.
Mr.. w. S. Davis and Walter Gresham, Of
Galveston, arrived here yesterday, to repre-
sent the e., Q. & 5. Fe road in q conference
with President Hale and the directors of the
c., r. & M. 9. road, in the
matter of convenient and fair
arrangement for both companies to use the
line from or near Cleburne to this point,
and h,nce northeas,erly toward Paris, thence
toward Chicago, etc. Some propositions
wers made looking to such an end, and the
probabilities are that consumma-
ton will be eventually reached
though the nature and the details
being only provisional, it is too early to state
them. l. may be not irrelevant to announce
however, that we may expect the g., @. &
S. Fe cars TO be running into Dallas before
this year sholl have its close.
THE EAST LINE ROAD.
The rumor that has been prevailing for
the past couple of days, that 9
construction contract bad been let To extend
this road to Denton via Mckinney, transplre:
to be without foundations; nor is the repor,
any more correct that it had combined with
the Texas and St. Louis narruw-gsuge. II
has also been quite generally asserted tina,
Mr.. Gould now owned the controlling interest
in that line. This also is without any
confirmation, as Mr.. Thos. Scott Jr, still
retains the interes.whch was said TO have beer
disposed Of In view Of Dallas being now
decreed as the great railway centre, !,
is clear why that company should naturally
enough conclude to come here.
COLLATERAL ENTERPRISES.
In the event of these several desiderstd
being concluded on shortly, we are TO have
at an early day, Car factory, severa
Ground" houses and machine shops, ant
other enterses of crest moment to Dallas.
Considering that this city has already
donated something like Il quarter of I
million of dollars for her railroads, and tina,
she has met and will continue TO NEE
promptly all interests on the bonds, it is bu
the rightful course Of things that these even
tusl benefits should accrue, and indeed bt
cheerfully accorded to her. Dallas is read,
to give snd 10 yet more for whatever shall
be shown 10 be in the general interest.
