Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad.
During the past few months the News
has been repeatedly urged to give its
readers information concerning the ex-
tension of the Fort Worth and Rio Grande
Railroad, but could not do So Nearly
all that mas been published concerning
the extension of the road has been mere
speculation aud calculated to deceive. It
is pretty well understood that the road
will be extended as soon as the man
ayers can secure the necessary
money, which will doubtless be Sc
cured soon, because mortgage Is being
filed for record in the counties through
which the road is to pass to secure the
money. 1t win probably take two months
to get this mortgage recorded in all the
counties, after which it will be returned
TO New York and the money forwarded
So the indications are that work will not
begin before March or April, which we
consider about the correct statement of
the case. : Granbury News.

The Future of steamboating.
From the Century For July.

from Ute century FOT OUty.
1t is not easy to predict what is to be the
future of this great boating interest. We
have over 20. 200 miles of steam navigation,
we have original and enterprising boat
builders and an enormous travelling pub
lie. We have had in the past phenomenal
fleet of steamboats,, particularly on our
Western rivers, and yet The business has
been greatly depressed, aud there
are fewer boats afloat to-day than twenty
years ago. Moreover-and this is the
most serious matter of all,--our canals are
being abandoned year by year. While
Europe spends millions on canals and water
ways, while France IS trying to make every
little stream navigable, and England is
trying to turn her interior cities into sea-
ports, we permit our canals to fill up or
foolishly give them away to impecuOi0us
railroads for road-beds. Is it wise? Are
we safe in trusting all our freight business
to railroad corporationsl To-day we can,
if the need come, send gun-bOaUs inland
from the Delaware to New York bay. If
we permit the railroads to destroy the bust
ness of the canal between our ship yards and
our navy-yardS, we may be sure that ia
every European war office the fact of our
folly is carefully noted for future reference.
Once Great Britai fought great battle to
destroy the water route that connects the
port of New York with the back door of
New England. Saratoga was fought to
destroy vital water route. Fortunately :,
the English generals who planned in Lon
don thus to cut the country in two failed,
and vet to-day we are abandoning our canals
and see our great internal steam naviga-
ton system decay without a thought of
the consequences.
On the other hand-for there is a brighter
side to every picture-there is a DISPOSE
ton among the travelling public to demand
larger, finer, and safer boats everywhere.
We are being taught by English tourists
who visit us how to see our own country.
We may complacently talk of our limited
trains aud all tdat. Every foreigner who
visits us asks first of all for our steamboat
routes, because our lake, river, and sound
boats are known of all the world.
