ALBUQUERQUE ROAD.

The People of the Northwest Ready to
Meet Fort Worth Half Way.
Haskell Star.
The people of Fort Worth are begin
ming to wake up to sense of duty in
building the Albuquerque railroad, and
they are, it seems from THE GAZETTE,
entering into joint stock company in
connection with the contractors, who
have been at work on the road from
Fort Worth to Springtown.
This Is sensible move; let those who
have to contribute toward the road con-
tribute it in the way of taking stock, and
then for every dollar invested or con-
tributed there is some chance to get q
return for it, and not only SO, but those
who put their money into it will feel
| more interested in the matter. They
will give it their encouragement ant sup
| port. They will feel like they wanted to
make it success. They feel as though
there was something in it. for them.
| This thing of burdening the people of
| Fort Worth with contributions, dona-
tons and bonuses for railroads and other
things Ia to them, like any and every
other people, irksome and monot-
| onous. If citizens of Fort Worth
and other places will organize
themselves into JOINT stock com pany
and begin the work in earnest, the Star
assumes the responsibility to assure them
that the good people along the line
through the counties of Jack, Young,
Throckmorton, Haskell and other coun-
ties through which it penetrates, will
meet them with hearty welcome and
encourage them in every way possible.
She can at least assure them the right of
way and depot grounds through these
counties, and this ought to be sufficient.
The territory west of Graham is one solid
body of fine, smooth, level agricultural
land, susceptible of raising as much fine
cotton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley,
millet, fruits and vegetables as
any county in Texas. 1t is rapid
ly settling and with the imms-
diate advent of railroad facilities would
soon be settled, and become almost one
solid farm. This country is bound, in
the near future, to have railroad facll-
tiles, and if it can't get one from Fort
Worth we shall turn our eyes in some
other direction. The West has alw avs
looked to Fort Worth as kind of
parent, very near friend, and We
should like to be connected with her by
telegraphic and railroad transportation,
and if she delays this important matter
long she will lose big thing. The abb
lene and San Angelo people are raising
money to build a road and with proper
effort this road can be extended to Has
kell and Seymour, or to Vernon and give
US an outlet to- the Gulf and to Kan
sas City, and the North over the Denver
and Rock Island. There Is no finer cli-
mate in Texas, nor more fertile lands in
Texas or the South than the Abilene
country-a road we want, and q road we
must have soon. The first comes are the
first served.
Wake up. Fort Worth and Dallas, and
save yourselves while you can. You are
now sleeping on your rights. We love
you. but If you don't encourage US we
can t help you.

mlttee, spoke on the subject and said
that it was in the power of Fort Worth
now to build the first ten miles OF the
road, and when that was done the battle
was virtually won, for there would be
no tro BILE in pushing 1t ahead, start
once being made. The road was such an
important one to Fort Worth that he be-
lieved il would be built, as the interests
of the city demanded that it should be.
He referred to the present furry
in financial circles, but did not believe it
would last long, and stated that there
need be no fears on the part of those who
might subscribe to the capital stock of
the company that they would be called
on to pay their subscription SO long as
there was any stringency in monetary
matters.
Other members of the committee spoke
on the subject, and all breethed the
same sentiment-the road should By all
means be built. After full discussion
of the matter a Subcommittee of three,
consisting of H. c. Caswell, L. B. I'm
boden and Jud C. Boyd was appointed
to secure from Messrs. Hurley, Tlerney
aud Lynch a written statement of the
present status of the road together with
@ proposition, also In writing, setting
forth what they wanted of Fort Worth
and what theF themselves were willing to
do. This subcommittee will 20
to work to-day and do what
they have been deputed to do; after
which another meeting of the committee
of ten will be held and the report of the
subcommittee made. On this report
the committee will base their report to
the chamber of commerce, which body
viii take final action in the premises.
II is believed from all that can be
learned that the subcommittee report
will be such that the com mIttee of ten
will report in favor of making an effort
to raise the money needed TO carry the
road TO the ten-mile post, after which no
trouble is anticipated in pushing work on
to the Northwest. The interest in this
matter is increasing every day, and while
nothing of a substantial nature has been
done the outlook is much brighter and
full of more hopeful signs than it has
been for long time.

TEXAS MILLS AND FACTORIES.

WACO, Sept. ia movement is on
foot among some OF the ginners of this
county to put up small cotton seed oil
mills for the purpose of working up their
own seed. The National oil company is
only paying Sc per ton for seed here, and
right beside the factory Is q gin which is
ginning for the seed. The county gin
ners. they say, cannot compete with
this, and if it Is persisted in they will be
driven out of the business. Three prom
inent gin men in the south
ern part of this county have
determined to defend themselves, by put
ting in fifteen or twenty ton oil mill to
crush and manufacture their own cotton
seed.
One of these gentlemen, in CONVERSE
ton with your correspondent, said:
'The oil company is trying to freeze the
gin men out of the business, and I'll tell
you what they want to do it for. Ut would
revolutionize the cotton business, forcing
the farmers to sell the cotton in the seed :,
and il is working it this way: By some
method unknown to us the man who
owns the gin near the OIL mill is enabled
to give cotton for the seed, yet he will
not gin for cash for less than 81
per bale, the price charged by US.
We cannot gin for the seed ct the price
given us by the oil mill, SO we lose our
customers and shut up shop. Now, when
the gins of the country are all forced to
close down, the oil mill people Will put
agents at all the stations along the rail-
roads to buy the cotton in the seed aud
if the farmers cannot get it ginned they
will be forced to sell to them. This
places the farmer at a great disad-
vantage, as well as the ginner- He is
forced TO market his cotton while in e
perishable condition. aud every oppor-

accept the Craftsmanship of the Western
passenger association has not yet been
definitely ascertained, as he has not been
heard of either pro or con on the subject
since he was selected as the brave who
should tackle the rocky road that nearly
ran Mr.. Goddard crazy. If he does &C
cept it and attempts to discipline the
wild and woolly passenger rate warriors
he will be a man of iron nerve and de-
serves success. The association which
he has been called to the head of is with
out doubt the most unmanageable one
in the United States. Its members seem
to prefer war to peace, and secret out
ting of rates to dead square dealing.
They are all nearly alike, too, if they
are TO be believed. for each charges the
other with crooked work right straight
along.

Brighter Prospects for This Important Fort

The committee of ten appointed at the

fore yesterday met at Secretary Biden 8
office yesterday afternoon in obedience TO
the call made by Chairman William
Harrison Tor the purpose of inquIring
Into the status of the Fort Worth and

Some plan TO secure means TO build the
road and put it in operation for the frat
ten miles. Every member Of the COM
mittee was present except two, and one
of them was absent from the city. BY
request Mr.. s. B. Cantey, one of the
legal advisers of the old company, and
who is thoroughly posted as to all de-
tails connected with the past history of
this road, was present and made a
statement in full as to what had been
done and what the present owners
of the road wanted the people
of Fort Worth TO do in order that the
road might be pushed ahead and not
end in miserable failure. The state
ment OF Mr.. Cantey was a revelation to
some of the committee, and it caused a
radical change of sentiment in more than
one case. Every member present ap-

1t has been noticed that whenever the
matter OF building railroad from Fort
Worth TO the Northwest was agitated to
any great extent in this city, certain men
connected with Dallas railroad schemes
would put in an appearance here. The
present talk about the Albuquerque road
is no exception to this, for yesterday
they were here, and it can be safely as
sumed they did not come to lend their
efforts to this Fort Worth enterprise.
They are scouts sent out to take dots.
