a committee OF three has been ap-
thu Fort Worth and Albuquerque rail-
road schcm. and upon the result of this
work depends the fate of this most i'm
portaut enterprise. A gentleman speak
Ing to Il GAZETTE representative on this
subiec, Yesterday remarked that il was
strange indeed that so many obstacles
should be met with when there should
really be none, and he was right.
Strange indeed is il that men who will
be greatly benefited Ivy Hny enterprise
should stand In the way of that enter
prise being pushed ahead. Yet that is
the case in the Fort Worth and Aluu-
querque matter and if they-the few
who stand in the wuy-insist on certain
demands they may come out losers in
the end. There is such thing as an
enterprise being abandoned OH account of
those having II III charge not being
disposed TO submit to eXuciions that are
regarded as unreasonable. IL is believed
now that IL the committee that has this
matter In hand is met in the proper spirit
that the Fort Worth aud Albuquerque
ROAD will soon be built, but il too much
is asked just because some people think il
is bound TO he built ut all hazards, then
sotDeOody may slip up i'll their calcula-
tions. One more effort is going to be
made TO put mntters IN such shane that
;he people of Fort Worth can build the
road 10 Sprngtown, ana no efforts will
be spared to achieve success, but il is not
expected that anything cuu be done uu-
less the committee ia met in Il liberal
spirit by The people, especially By those
whose Interests would be greatly en-
HANGED by the building of this road.
Tue Fort Worth and Albuquerque
road would bring trade IL Fort Worth
from the Northwest that now goes to
other points, aud which is worth hum
drvds of thousands of dollars aunuully:
II would euubIe Fort Worth 10 get cheap
fuel; IL would enable Fort Worth 10 get
the Enett building stone in the state ut
reasonable figures; II would cut off rival
cities from the great Northwest terri
tory; ii would settle the matter of the
great raiirond center of the state. and il
would bring TO Fort Worth without boz
nus railroads tia. are looking now after
DIES rable raiiroad connections in Texas.
There is II great system OF railroads
gradually huiding Texnswurds from the
Texas thai offers the best connections
II Fort " urth offers this then TO Fort
Nor; h il Will come, otherwise II will not.
''Ii seems SuperHdnuS, said Main
street merchant yesterday, ''for THE
GAZETTE 10 20 on aud tell the good bene-
Hts Fort Worth would derive from the
bu llHg OF this road. We all know that
every word the paper says is true, yet IL
looks n$ il il was impossible for US 10 get
move un ourselves. | believe this, and
nm not afraid 10 say il, that il We do
not build u road TO the Northwest pretty
soon Dalius WILL and then there viii he a
good many OF las who will get u move on
Ourselves for II fact but that move will
do Fort Worth no soOc. Now Is the time
.Cr the people 10 10 something, and If
they don I do II they viii lie e,erua.ly
