Crop Prosprcta,

A HERALD apostle has just returned
from trip "on wheels" through the
territory lying between Dallas and
Cameron. In his psrigrenatlons he
found farmers all busy, aud crops geu-
orally In excellent condition. In some
parts Of Milan county reports
are TO the effect that cotton In
backward, but the general outlook Is
for good all round crop, Talks with a
number OF Boil county farmers show
that The small grain prospect IL highly
hntt9ring although tho acreage IL a good
deal smaller than IL was last year. Al
Bolton and Temple the merchants saw
"imos are dull, !" but in the same breath
they explain the fact by saying
that the farmers are all busy and that
big crops are expected. Wheat In soma
places shows signs OF smuttluoss, but
not % an extent TO, ~ vet, give con-
ceru, In BOsque and JOhson counties
the HERALD man heard nothing but
good reports. Tho cotton stands are
generally good, and the corn
and smaller grain crops prom.
Use big yields, OF course there
are dangers ahead that may destroy the
best calculations, but II the fields as
they stand are To be taken ~ base
from which TO hope and expect, u may
bo well counted that the horn OF plenty
will be very great big one in this part
OF the vineyard, whom the yule time
comes.

From gentleman who has been
spending some time in Lampasas, a
HERALD reporter learns that the exteu-
sion of the Santa Fe road beyond that
place is progressing rapidly. Messrs.
Kicker, Lee & Co., of Galveston, have
the contracts, as is known, to build 40
miles of the line. This win
make terminus close TO
II not at the Colorado river.
Beyond this, at present, there isn't
much certainty as to the future course
or progress of the road. Very many
think, and quasi officially it has been
stated in the Springs City, that fur
Their letting is to be made In the next
two weeks, and that then the line will
be given out to Brownwood. The HER
AIDS informant could give moth
ing. on this point but he
said, and his language Is
tractors are pushing their present work
very much like they thought the end
was somewhere ahead. They first took
26 miles of road, to be turned over com.
pleted within 90 days. Owing to delays
this was extended month. They COM
menced work on the 25th of February,
and on Monday night had finished 10
miles of track. The COM
missary department, under charge
of Major Frank Harror, an old time and
popular railroader, well known
throughout Texas, was moved out
Monday to the ten-mile switch, which
will be the base OF operations for some
time to come. The grading forces are
scattered along the line as far
as the fortieth mile, with
occasional stops, but these are
being filled.as rapidly as men and teams
can be had. Good railroad men, especi-
ally with good working outfits, can get
station work, or half sections, from the
contractors. Capt. Joe Owens, who is
in charge of grading, thinks that no can
keep full well in advance o.
both bridge men and track

its informant that there are number of
parties in Lampasas who believe that q
new town will be started by the railroad
out about the Colorado river and are
