TIE ROCK ISLAND.

Indications that Point to the Early Ex-
tension of the Road.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, June 10. 1880.
To the Gazette.
The house has passed g bill granting to the
Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska railroad power
to sell and convey to the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railroad all railway property, rig hts
and franchises of the Chicago, Kansas and Ne
braska railway company in the territory of Okla
homa and Indian Territory.-lG GAZETTE, June
u, 1890.
The above item is welcome news to the
people OF this section. This settles the
building Of the Rock Island, and that,
too, in the near future. That the road
will be built to this point there is not the
slightest doubt. All admit this fact,
and the sooner it Is built to Texas the
better it will be for the road and the peo-
pie. The whole state Will be directly
benefited by the coming of the great
Rock Island route. Mr.. White of Kan
sas City is here and is engaged in
laying out the town of Charlie, at
point about eighteen miles from
hSre on the south bank of Red river.
Charlie IS well located and will make
nice little town. 1t is on the located line
of the Rock Island, and the Charlie town
company have been notified by the rail-
road company that they could lay of
their town and depend on getting the
road. Charlie is on what is called
the Preston survey, which was made
by Engineer Preston over two years ago.
MIR. Preston located the line from Cald-
well, Kan, by way of Ell Reno,
Fort Sill, Charlie and to this point, and
there never has been any doubt in the
minds of the people here that the Preston
line would be used when the company
got ready to build.

Mexican Railway Lonn Project,

Special to the Gazette.
BOSTON, MASS. June IA City of
Mexico special says: "The government
Is still discussing the railway loan pro-
jects and no awards are likely to be
made for several weeks, as the govern
ment thinks it can get better terms.
Neither the Central nor National have
arranged yet as to the amount of their
outstanding subsidies. They are willing
to accept the loan, and it will probably
take the form of per cent. bonds IN
order to preserve uniformity with the
present gold debt held in Europe. The
Bleichroder people are confident, but
Cassell and Seligman are pressing them
hard, and it is not probable that the
government may yet give consideration
to the plan for massing all debts IN one
great loan, and this can be done II the
government accepts the offers from

BREAKING A MONOPOLY.
Another Railroad Seeking an Entrance to
Hot Springs.

Hot springs.
The monopoly enjoyed by Diamond
Joe" Reynolds in his line of railroad to
Hot Springs is liable to be broken down
before another year rolls by. A repre-
sentative of the Fort SCOTT, Natohez and
Cuff railroad has made overt0res to the
Hot Springs people to build that line by
way of Hot Springs and the probabilities
are that the proposition will be ao-
cepted Seventy-four miles of the road
have been completed in Louisiau6, and
the line VIII soon reach Hamburg, Ark.
The company is disposed to tap Hot
Springs, thence penetrate into the coal
fields northwest of here, and the people
of this place are inclined to aocede to all
reasonable requests in order to secure
the road.
A committee has been appointed to
raise cash bonus and secure free depot
grounds and right-of-way through the
county. Meanwhile there will be 10
relaxation of effort TO secure the build
ing of the Little Rock and Paris TEX.

We know what every one is thinking about
these Xmas times. What to get and where
to get it is the puzzle. So here we have it.
We've thought it all over long before you rea
lized the fact that the time is upon you to
make your selections for your Christmas pre-
sents. So we have prepared ourselves for the
seasons trade by making a special trip to the
northern markets in order to secure the nov
elites which cannot be had any other way, and
we've get EN- and worse than we ever had
them before. The truth of the business is we
think of what we are doing. We never wait
until the season is over and then "cry over
split milk" The only way to sell goods is to
carry the stock and let the people know that
we are in business to do business. Some mer-
chants have said we were foolish to make two
trips to the market in one season, but we can't
be satisfied to rest in easy chairs and talk pol
itics, &C., and let Our business run ITSELF No,
those ''good old days" have past and we can't
be satisfied to rest at home when we know
that the markets are crowded with values
which we should be showing to Our trade
we're never caught mapping. But oh my!
what stock we did buy. Some for the old,
and some for the young, the truth of the bust
