Figures won't lie. Lot us then look
at the following statement which is
very much below what could De done:
Three trains per day, OF 10 cars each
at $50 per car load Of lumber viii give
Fl,5OO per day. Say the road will not
be operated on Sundays,snd an allow
Snce OF 10 days for accidents, we will
have 300 remaining days, which at
$1,000 per day will give S45O,COO per an
mum, not including the way traffic or
return freightS.
This estimate, be it remembered, ia
confined alone TO the lumber trade,
and the return froights on the lumber
cars, andi entirely separate and indie
pondont OF tho passengers and other
regular freight and OF the carrying Of
the mails.
But it may be thought that tho Kan
sas d Gulf Short Line COMPANY will
want to carry thor lumber on their
own road to the prairies. This would
be true il they had their road compile |
ted to that soctisn. But until this is
done thst company will be moro than
willing for the Trunk line TO haul il !
from here 10 the prairie market.
BY the time the Kansas IL Gulf Short |
Line Company have constructed tho
northwestern end OF their road into
the heat Of the lumber market the |
Trunk Line people will have pushed |
their road into the pine regions oil
Eastern Texas and Louisiana by the
way Of Henderson, Center end Manz
In Sabine Parish. Thus they will
from pacuniary interest work together |
for each others benefit Tyler COu-

That it meant what 10 said, and that It

what to do now, and no doubt many OF

But the President is no figure head,
and we advise these rich mon to obey

actual settlers to do, 10 IS true. they
