FROM PROF. CUMMINS.
ANOTHER Trip NoRrHwEsTwARD
special Mission on the Feasibility and
Practlcability OF a Railroad Thence
from Dalias-An Excellent
Report From Kim.

DALLAS, March Ia Editor HBRA1D.l
Il have just returned from trip to
Wise and other counties to the north.
west. / went there to look into the mat
ter of building railroad to the coal
fields of Wise county, and will now say
this for the information OF those con-
cerned. There is plenty of coal in Wise
county to warrant men of capital To
build aroad TO the nearest point where
they can secure connection with other
roads. This connection can be made at
Decatur, distance of 10
miles from the coal, where
they can connect with the Fort Worth
4 Denver City railroad. The Fort
Worth & Denver City railroad is builf
in the interest OF Fort Worth, five ont
ofthe seven directors of that road live
at Fort Worth, THAI road will enter
into no combination by which coal can
reach Dallas as cheaply as it can be
placed in Fort Worth. When wa take
into consideration these facts, and thai
Dallas can get coal only over the lines
of the Texas 81 Pacific or the
Missouri Pacific, any one must
see at glance that unless
Dallas can do something to secure coal
ct cheaper rate than what she is now
paying, she cannot compete with Fort
Worth as manufacturing city. Fort
Worth can secure cheap coal by build
ing a road 10 miles, and Dallas can So
cure tho same by either building a road
from Denton to Decatur, distance o. 2S
miles, or by building from Dallas TO De.
cRtur, distance of 90 miles.
IL seems to me that it is
high time that something was being
done by our city il she expects to be in
the future what she has been in the mast
the Queen City Of north Texas.
The arrangements are about COM
pleted to build the road from the coal
fields to Decatur, and it will be built in
a short time. All the coal that can he
mined there can be taken by Fort Worth
and the cities south and west, and Dial.
las, with only that connection, can never
get coal as cheap as 1t can be furnished
to Fort Worth, Yours,
W. Il, CUMMINs.
