THE S. A. p. ROAD.

An inspection of the lines of this
road, taken during trip over the en-
tire system by the editor of the LIGHT,
reveals most satisfactory condition
of affairs. The road is rapidly extend
ing its lines north, southwest and
northwest and northeast and at every
point is making the most favorable
connections for traffic. Its business
shows constant increase of volume
month by month, and its earnings are
steadily growing so as to insure profit
able returns to its stockholders at no
distant day. At Houston, Yoakum,
Cuero, Beeville, Corpus Christi and at
other points as well, indications of a
large traffic, were too palpable to be
overlooked. A complete presentation
of the growth and resources of this
company will be made in our Holiday
publication. The LIGHT acknowl-
edges its obligations to Superintend-
ent of Transportation Lister and to
Messrs. FaIlon, of Houston, Imhof,
of Cuero, Mussett, of Corpus Christi,
Gibson, of Yoakum, and other officers
and agents of the road, as we'll as to
