The Llano Iron Route.

The consolidated meeting of all the
committees canvassing for subscriptions
to the Waco, Lampasas and Llano rail-
way, met last night at the pleasant new
quarters of the Waco board OF trade, and
after comparing notes agreed to defer
formal reports until next Friday night at
the regular meeting of the board of
trade. The remarks made at the meet
ing last night left the impression on the
mind of the News reporter, that the BUS
mess was not going along with that de-
gree of ease and comfort which the sue
cess of the opening days of the latter day
canvass appeared to promise. There is
still a gap several thousand dollars wide,
which must be closed before Waco will
grasp the prize promlsed-the great
Waco Llano iron route. At this juncture

namely, instead of resting this arduous
work upon the over burdened shoulders OF
the busiest men in Waco, employ CANVAS

liberal per diem for the hateful task they
must undertake. The writer of these
lines IS less busy than are most of the
men named on those two committees,
and yet he could not give the work one
hour day of his time. Moreover, the
duty itself entails disagreeableness, the
like of which requires the cheek OF
book agent to meet and overcome. This
writer would prefer being bitten by red
ants and eating green perslmtnons, to
such an undertaking. The man en-
ploved on good remuneration and billed
for the task would feel g strength the
volunteer can not feel, courage the
priceless pearl-that Llano Iron Route.
1t would bring with it those industries
which govern the world-the man
ufactures OF products of iron aud

this list must remember also
that until the railway is built and OPP
Grated from Waco to Llano not one cent
of the sum subscribed will be called in.
That is good and sufficient security.
None other is needed. Ii the committees

chased for terminal facilities at Waco,
then if the project lapses eighteen
months hence, the ground will sell for
enough margin of profit TO defray all of
the expenses incidental of the canvass.

a chance to win and no chance TO lose.

il was decided in New York to build to

gin at once aud the Santa Fe will be

stocks. It is not yet made public ut
what points she Santa Fe will be crossed,
hut it is predicted that wherever 1t does
cross that substantial little city VIII be
hnilt. Brentwood expected to secure
this prize and made vigorous effort for
it but the line due south being much
more direct to the iron fields and the
bonus double as large, the management
decided accordingly.

Mr.. Goulo's Position.

A well known railroad man recently
said: 1.-The general public will be apt
10 misinterpret the Gould movement for
putting rates on healthy, solid basis.
Mr.. Gould should not be understood rs
advocating general advance in rates,
but as insisting upon stability of thrift.
The existing schedule of rates on freight
would be good enough il tbs lines would
only live up to 1t. That is what Mr..
Gould wants. 1t is the cutting and the
meeting of cut rates that plays havoc
with the earnings. - Kansas City

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The morning
market was dull and weak, on q drop
from higher prices in London. The
tnlon Pacific statement showing de-
crease of S7S3, 595 in net earnings from
January l to October 81 was severe
blow. The announcement of the large
failure in the movement trade was an
other blow. The fact that 81 200 900
more clearing house certificates had to be
taken out was another unfavorable fea-
ture. But the most important of all is
the fact that the steam which seems to
have given out of the Burlington force,
and which rushed prices up so rapidly :,
has spent itself. The effects OF the
agreement to maintain rates and estab-
lish joint agencies seems to have been
discontinued. Discount banks of this
city have lost over So 900 coo net to the
sub-treasury since Friday last. Inquiry
revealed that the system 8 receipts since
Friday nave amounted TO about 81 500, =
600. while shipments to other cities, par
ticularly Philadelphia, have aggregated
about 81, 900, 200 in the same time.

the heavy system receipts. they are ac-

in Fort Worth yesterday AMI speaks in
glowing terms of that portion OF the

ANsoN, TEX, Nov 20, 1890.
Mr.. John Howard, Wichita, Tex:
DEAR SGR-We have written MIR. r.
n. Bumpass, Cash City National bank,
Wichita Falls, to KNOW if your city
would favor the idea of n connection with
the Wichita Valley railroad at Seymour
from the south, commencing at Balm
via Buffalo Gap, Merkel, Ans Il and
Haskell, or commence at Arson via Has
ken to Seymour. We are determined to
have railroad connection; in fact, We
are bound to have il. The tonnage now
from Abilene averages daily five cars,
and you know it would double with
railroad. The increasing demand makes
il absolutely necessary that we take the
bit in our teeth and do something our
selves. We have subscribed to date be-
tween $50 goo and $40, 900, and can and
will increase it to $50, 0yO and more, If
necessary. Mr.. Bumpsss will tell you
what kind of q country we have. We
will meet at this place on December
- To formulate plans and will have
representative committees from the above
named places TO meet here with US.
hope to have yourself and committee
from Wichita Falls here at the time and
promise TO entertain you while here mt
our expense viii you please let me
hear from you by return mail on the sub
ject, and know whether TO expect you or
rot. We think this move would greatly
help Wichita Falls, to give her south
ern connection through the finest wheat,
cotton and stock country in Texas, and
beyond question the cheapest route to
build a railroad over IN Texas, being al
most level the entire route, and through
Jones, well settled; also through Taylor
and Runuels our civil engineer says he
can grade and bride Il road to Merkel tor
$1,000 per mile, and we don't think II
will average more than $4,000 per mile
from Bailinger TO seymour. Now, what
GO you say? Let us hear from you. and
also get an expression from Seymour.
Yours truly, BUIE HANNA.
In reply TO the above Mr.. Howard said
that Wichita county will Join Jones and
other counties, heart, hand and pocket
book. not only in building line south
west from Seymour, but also in extend
ing the Wichita Valley railway
northeast from Wichita Falls to
connection with tbs Rock
