"Fort Worth is not like she once

to GAZETTE reporter yesterday, cor
she would have had move OH herself
sometime ago. am in :he railroad bus
mess and l watch railroad matters about
as close as the next man, and while l may
not be able TO anticipate all that is going
10 be done, l can very plainly see that in
the matter of railroads this city
stands very good show of
getting left, unless something
is done and done quickly. There
are schemes on foot, and will be carried
out, that are going to do this city much
injury in commercial way, if their eff
feet is not counteracted. l, myself,
have no interest in the matter, and
never expect to have, but ii Fort Worth
does not wake up and take hold of the
Albuquerque and build it, the people
here in few months will wish they had.
l tell you that this road would be of more
benefit TO this city than any line that
could be built at this time, and the fail
ure TO build it will be disaster.''

VIII Do-Ihe Cotton Belt Sale.

The matter of the Union Pacific or
Fort Worth and Denver shops has re-
NAMED quiet for some time, but the
prospects now are good for the work Of
building them TO begin. The company
mas been at work for quite O while
sinking an artesian well on the plat of
ground north of the city limits where
they will be located, and recently cross
ties aud rails have been hauled there for
The necessary side tracks which will have
10 De built before work on the buildings
can De commenced. 1t was intended at
one time to build frame buildings for the
shops but the indications now are that
the main structures will be Of brick
ana stone, the difference in the cost
Deing lnconsiderable when the matter of
durability is considered. This matter of
Drlck or wood Will be submitted to the
hlgher officials of the road in short
tIine, and It Will then be determined of
"hat material the building shall be con-
etruoted. 1t is believed by those who
are rather on the inside that the work on
the shops will not be delayed longer than
Two week, If that long.

The Union Pac,f,c onicia1s.

President Charles Francis Adams of
the Union Pacific and other officials
OF that system, are now out on an extern
slve tour of inspection, it being the IN
tentlon, SO said, to visit every piece of
the company's railroad property from
the Pacific to Texas. Yesterday no de-
Unite information of the whereabouts OF
Inc party could be learned, but as there
was general cleaning up of things in
the general Offices of the Fort Worth and
Denver here, it was suggested that this
was caused by the nearusss of the presi-
Dental party to Fort Worth; In fact, it
was reported on the streets last night
that President Adams, Vice President
dolcomb, General Managers Meek and
Mellen, General Passenger Agent Ady,
ana other officials of the system would
arrive in Fort Worth tonight. How
true this report is in the absence of any
positive information, the GAZETTE can
not state, but the Union Pacific off
may be expected in this city in very
short time, not later robably than the
latter part of this week.

Fixing EIpreas Rates.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 23.-The traffic
committee, composed of representatives
from the Adams, the Wells, Fargo &
Co., the American, the National, the
Northern Pacific, the Pacific Southern
and the United States express companies,
Is holding meeting here. There will
be no advance in western rates, with
perhaps one or two minor exceptions.
Last year rates were reduced to some
points west and possibly the old rates
will be re-established. The only thing
of Importance will be to complete the
schedule for the advance in eastern
rates. The reason, it is said, for this
advance of so cents hundred is simply
the fact that the express companies are
losing money at the present rate. The
meeting will continue for day or two.

THE ALBUQUERQUE,
"There are None Blind as Those who

Fort WORTH TEX Oct % 1891

"There are None Blind as Those who
viii not See.''
Fort WORTH, TEX, Oct. %, 1890.
Mr. Editor.
The pertinent remarks on the building
of the Albuquerque road by Mr.. J. P.
Woods, and the very great benefit that
would accrue to Fort Worth from this
road, impressed itself upon my mind
Several weeks ago. l made q trip
through this same territory and saw-as
did Mr.. Woods-cotton going to other
towns that should be coming to Fort
Worth. Goods coming from other towns
that should be going out Of Fort Worth.
How long! oh, how long will our city
reach out after and spend money on
useless projects and schemes and pass by
with Indifference, the essential. There
has been money enough thrown away
on wild schemes, and you know 1t, Mr..
Editor, to have built this road. The
question is sometimes asked what shall
we do to settle up the surrounding
country? The city grows too fast for the
country and so it ia. One way out of
this difficulty is to build railroads
and make good roads. If the Albuquer-
que was certainty there are at least,
fifteen families from Kentucky and Mis-
souri, who would buy lands on this road in
Tarrant county. Good substart iakl
farmers who are tired of farming on
WORKOUT land but there are no means of
transportation for their produce, only
over bad roads with slow teams, which
means 'money to the farmer.
All honor to THE GAZETTE for its noble
efforts to aid blind Fort Worth. 1 am
now forced TO exclaim: rThere are
none SO blind as those who will not see.'
