that they will not, for they cannot
business men, virtually give away then
property, but they are willing to yield /
up their rights to the extent of securing
the completion Of the road to connection
with the Texas Il st. Louis Narrow
Guagg railway. The Dallas stockholders
in the road make this proposition: They
will issue fifteen thousand dollars in
bonds and fifteen thousand dollars in
stock to any party or parties who will
complete the gap of twenty-five
miles between the present terminus of
the Trunk railway and some point on
the Texas & st. Louis railway. Here is
food for reflection for persons who have
money to place in a good investment.
II will not cost over twelve thou
sand dollars per mile to build |
the gap. For this outlay the builders
would receive fifteen thousand dollars
in bonds that will yield an immediate |
interest, and fifteen thousand |
dollars in stock that would |
have value as fair collateral in the mer- !
camille community. There can be no
reasonable objections to the route of the |
road, as it lays through a rich coun-
try, and when built to con-
nection with road on the |
east will bring to this market all the
lumber needed for this growing region.
The HERALD can point to no more prom |
ising road or more favorable chance for
investment by practical railway capi-
talists.
