The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1885-01-30

The great question is to know II Cap
tain Eads will really accept the proposi-
tion made by the River and Harbor
committee. In view of his past labors
in the Mississippi river jetties, the St.
Louis bridge and other large under
takings, the proposition of the commit
tee looks to be on the plan Of al"little
one for q nickel" But fine does accept
the proposition and goes to work In an
endeavor to make the most out OF the
beginning, he will be entitled to the little
of the great engineer. Deep water at
Galveston would make the name OF Eads
everlasting.

The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1885-01-30

The Goliad Guard gives the city a rap
in the following; ''San Antonio capital
lists seem to be at stand-still on the
projected railroad to Arkansas Pass. 1t
is the general opinion now that the
scheme has been abandoned. We pre-
sumo that 1t is nobody's business but
San Antonio's why they have not COM

TALLY a1d exclusively San Antonio en-

unenviable one, to say the least"

Land seekers are very numerous.
Come on. There is plenty OF land out
this way yet. -~.s-s-- s,-st.s--
Preaching at the Banner school house
last Sabbath morning and evening by
Rev. Mr.. Dodge, of Lane county.
Mr.. James Tayne, who has just finished
his house on his homestead, expects his
family this week from New York.
The rains of the past week have started
the grass on boom, and cattle do not
thank you for fodder. They like the
green grass better.
Your correspondent will show all home
seekers good locations. Come on, gentle
men. Uncle Sam has plenty OF nice
land waiting for You to come and take 1t.
Corn planting is now the order OF the
day, and there will be more general
effort to raise crop this year than has
ever been made heretofore in this neigh
borhood.
Wheat, oats and rye look very promis-
ing. In fact, the. outlook for good
crop of everything is very encouraging,
and the grangers are specializing about
market for their surplus. II we should
have a. good crop season, and the loco
does as well as it promises at present,
it will take the conceit out OF range
cattle men.
