WICHITA FALLS, TEX, Dec. 9.--The
people In the Falls stlll clamor for an
other railroad and are yet hopeful and
believe the day is close at hand when the
Falls will have at least one OF the several
railroad lines that have been chartered
direct to this point.
There ls not much substantial In
proyement about town, but there is con-
siderable settlement IN the country. A
rage for tea ing down old empty build
ings has been going on, and many OF the
old landmarks have been moved TO the
country TO make temporary houses and
shelter for stock.
Considerable anxiety is felt among
Fort Worth & Denver City employees In
view OF the possible change IN superin-
tcndent Of the road, which, II Is thought,
viii make material changes all around,
and Inconvenience maiy old employees.

thusiasm and nearly ready to come down
with a handsome bonus. Fort Worth,
the tostermother of Texas railroads, IN
always ready TO do double share. The
route direct, according to our maps
would leave Plano TO the north some six
miles, making the crossing of the Central
near Richardson, in Dallas county. 1t is
proper to remark, however, that this
route would run too near Dallas and inter-
sect section OF country trayersed by the
Santa Ee. Hence the proper, most avail.
able and best-paying line will lead
through Plano. II must be borne In
mind, however, thai the location of the
road depends largely upon the llberality
OF the Inhabitants along its contemplated
route, since slight digressions from an air
line necessitate heavy expenditures Of
treasure Besides, railroad company
has but slender chance when the inhab-
ltants OF country through which a road
Is To 20 constructed refuse hearty co OBJ.
GRAFTON. Right OF way, depot grounds and
a ialr cash iuduCement are but reasonable
requiem nts for the bestoWal of
such benefit. OF course Plano will not
hesitate to come forward literally with
her contributions. III she were to do so
the result would be Of such a character
that we shudder to think Of 1t and shall
not write it here. The increase In value
of all lands along this line, the advan-
tages of greater facilities, itsrelease from
the merciless dominion Of one line Of
road, the opening of new markets, the d.
rect connection with Western Texas,
where grain and cotton seed must be
freighted to feed cattle--these and many
other considerations should encourage
every good man in this section to aid the
enterprise Plano Review.

Death of Moses A. Dow, Proprietor of
the Naverly Magazine. at Charles.
town, Mass.
BOSTON. June %.

BosToN, June %.
Moses A. Dow, proprietor of the Waverly
Magazine, died i'll Charlestown at $50 this
morning. He was born in Littleield, N. H.,
in 1910, and early learned the printing busi-
ness working on the New Hampshire Intelli-
gencer and the New Hampshire Post, both
published at Haverhill, N. II. He published
the Mai e Republican at Saco, but was not
ssful. and then bought the Maine Re-
corder at Limington. He sold out later,
came to Boston and opened a job office in
1910. He subsequently started several
journals, but none acquired full success until
the Waverly Magazine was established. The
idea of the magazine came from a bound vol
ume of the Edinburgh Journal which had
fallen into his hands. The name came from
the Waverly Novels.
His peculiar idea was to open the columns
OF the magazine to all young lady writers.
publishing every contribution for them, and
with novel plan united with other ideas, he
made his volume great success. The first
copy, Is pages in size, was issued May, 1850,
and to start this he had to acquire credit of
the type foundry and to use his note for S400
ndorsed by lady friend. He had been
working for $40 week and when he began
the first number he had less than $50 of his
own money.
During the war the circulation of the Wa
verify ran up to $4,000. but afterwards the
depression IN business cut it down to 10000,
at which figures it remained. Only few
advertisements were inserted but these had to
pay a good price. For several years Dow's
income has been Sl50,000 year from the
paper Dow ouilt the Waverly House in
Charleston at a cost of half million dollars,
and has owned many lots of real estate in that
vicinity.
