TEN DAYS AND THEN?

The manner of parCelling out the COM
mittees and arranging for the canvass of
the city by the central committee en-
trusted with the bond subscription for
the northwestern extension, will bring
the matter to the notice of every San
Antonian in way that will compel him
to either dance, fiddle or leave the pro-
cession. This canvass will be most
thorough it will reach every class Of
our citizens, give every man chance to
subscribe what he desires, be it much or
little and put the thing to a test at once.
There are only ten days of actual work
remaining before the date fixed for
withdrawing the offer made by the rail.
way company. If the subscription is
not made, the attention Of the directors
will be Immediately turned TO the con-
struction of the Waco branch, and the
northwest extension will be left out in
the cold for the present, or turned over
to the tender mercies of our northern
rivals who are only waiting the failure
OF our subscription to enter the
field and divert the trade, legite-
mately ours, to northern and east
ern points, This road must be
built now or it will not be built for
years. OF this fact there is no question.
First come is first served, in such cases.
The traffic of the section through. which
this road is projected will not support
two roads for some years TO come, and
the road that gets there first bars all
others for the time being. This road
would prefer coming our way. 1t is in
very material sense San Antonio
road. The people to whom it comes
would prefer market in this city to one
in North Texas; their trade comes more
naturally our direction. The territory
is legitimately our own, because it lies
nearest us and a road tapping its trade
can be most economically constructed
from this point. The towns along the
line Of the road have done what they
could. II San Antonio were to do one
tenth as well, considering her means,
the subscription would have been filled
before the city had slept twice upon the
proposition. There is that withholdeth
