THE BONUS RAISED.

Big Railway Shops and n Splendid Normal
College to be the Result.
The bonus of S35, 200 TO secure the
location of the main shops of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway system
in Texas at the city of Green
vile, ard the establishment of a
splendid normal college, has been raised
by the people of Greenville. the raising
of the bonus was celebrated last Friday
night by the firing of anvils. The com
mittee of Greenville citizens to contract
with the company consists of T. IL.
King, A. Cameron, I. j. Gee, j.. Il.
Perkins and 7. Il. Byrd. This committee
will fully protect and secure the interests
of the people of Greenville III closing the
contracts. IN general terms it is under
stood that the railway company will
erect 500 200 brick depot building on
the site of the present depot,
and also establish machine shops
that will regularly employ from 300 to 400
men. The regular monthly wages to
be paid to this little army of skilled me-
chanics, liz addition to trainmen, office
men, etc. will amount to somewhere in
the neighborhood of $50, 900 month, or
more than $500 200 a year. The benefits
to accrue to Greenville and Hunt county
are fully recognized by all who have
given the matter thought. Allowing q
family of five persons on an average to
each wage-earner, the shops will directly
support $500 people.
Superintendent Frye and General Man
ager Maxwell were in the city Monday,
and were driven over town by the local
committee. They visited one of the
proposed sites of the shops at the juno
ton of the Dallas and Mckinney branches
of their system in southwest Greenville,
where the company owns ten acres of
land. Other locations will also be con-
sidsred, and OF their return to Sedalia
they will perfect their plans, after which
the Greenville committee will meet them
to close the contracts.
This normal college is to be contracted
for with the Fort Scott real estate syndi-
cate, and all the particulars will be ar
ranged as soon as the shop matter is set
tied. = Greenville Banner.

LOOKING TO LLANO,
At LeRst Four Different Lines Pointing
Toward That City of Iron.

At Least Four Different Lines Pointing
Toward That City of Iron.
The newspapers in Austin, Waco and
San Antonio are busily engaged just at
the present time in building railroads to
the Lano iron fields. Indeed, there are
well defined plans, nearly matured, to
build line from Waco and another
from San Antonio to Llano. Now comes
Austin with proposition to tap these
great iron fields, by building road to
the center of what promises to be the
richest mineral producing section of
Texas. Fort Worth is already III the
race ana is ahead OF all its competitors
in the Fort Worth and Rio Greude,
which will certainly be extended on to
Llano and the Southwest. Teams and
men have been recently sent to the front
from this city end the supposition is that
actual operations will be commenced
very soon on the road south of
Comanche. The Austin Cnpitoliau
in speaking of the Llano iron
beds says: 'Railroads to the Llano
iron fields are proposed from four impor-
tant points. san Antonio is moving to-
wards Llano; Waco is probably further
advanced than san Antonio in a move
ment looking to a direct line to Llano,
and Fort Worth is pushing the Fort
Worth and Rio GTande railroad steadily
towards Llano. Austin is nearer than
either OF the places named TO the COM
mon goal. Austin, though last TO enter
the list formally, should be first TO reach
the desired end. Not alone on account
of the boundless wealth producing re-
sources of the LlanO and Mason iron
districts, but especially that the general
trade of a vast agricultural and stock
raising district may not be diverted to
other points, is it now necessary that
Austin should push a railway through to
Il section that three of her most active
compe tirors are seeking. Austin has
the cream Of the trade of much
OF that section now. 1t cannot
be retained if Austin shall have to
depend upon transportation via San
Antonio, via Waco, or vim Fort Worth.
OK wagons from Burnett to that section
can not compete with transportation by
rail. In straight line Llauo is distant
eighty miles from Austin, 10 from san
Antonio, l20 from Waco and 10 from
the present terminus of the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande railroad in Erath
county. 1t is evident that railroad reg
ulation in this state in the near future
will establish the mileage basis for
transportation charges. The construc-
ton of three or four railroads to the
town of Llano will enormously increase
the trade of that entire district, though
not q ton of iron e"mined, because
they would populate The country and
develop Its agricultural resources. If
Austin be nearest and has the ad-
vantage of lower transportation charges
on mileage basis, the profitable trade
now enjoved will be increased q hun
dredfold. This city can have no equal
competition within the state and will be
able to more than hold her own with out
side trading points.

Naw YORK, Dec. 5.-The decline in
Union Pacific in the last few days has
been accomplished by rumors that the
property was in danger OF going into the
hands of a receiver. 1t was reported

thing that saved the road from re-

was tile change of management. 1t is
