UNION DEPOT.
C.. NJ. Wicker, first vice-president of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande, one of
the most experienced and practical rail-
road managers in the country, said yes
terday that the subject of a grand union
depot for Fort Worth had been discussed
by the railroads. The proper plan, he
thought, was for a union depot company
to be formed. composed of the
railroads and others, who should
build, own aud manage the
depot, which should cost between $780,
600 and $500. 900. The proper location
was near where the present depot stands,
only on the west of the tracks, so that
carriages, cars and wagons could have
easy access to it without crossing the
tracks. The Y-tracks should then be
taken up and thrown east of
the depot. A very fine and
commodious building, but one which
would be necessary, could be built for
$500, 600. He thought sufficient amount
of ground could be obtained. The rail-
roads running into this depot could pay
on q wheelage basis q sufficient amount
to pay the interest on the depot bonds
and expenses of conducting it properly.
If the matter Will be taken up and urged
by our chamber Of commerce. something
can probably be accomplished III short
time.

The Fort Worth aud Denver could
build splendid shops of stone. They can
get limestone at 81 per perch and have an
abundance of the finest sandstone at
sunset, on the line of their road. The
