THE GAZETTE gives herewith 4 COM
municatiou from Waco, correcting GER
tain statements made in THE GAZETTE. As
far As the harvest excursion rates are con-
Ccrued the railroad editor of dis paper has
not yet been notified that the Katy has any
such rate i'll effect and no information re-
gdruiug rates Is glven as official or men
toned ia the railroad columns of The Ga
ZETTE until such statement is authorized
by he railroads. While the Katy IS doing
ycoman work in advertising Texas thus far
il has not notified TIE GAZETTE of any
Suun rate. and il has not. therefore. an
nouuceu them. The Santa Fe was the first
to announce the rate and it was 50 pub
lished. The Cotton Belt followed.
In this connection il is as well to mention
the fact that the Santa t'e is doing good
work for Texas: il IS advertising Texas all
through the East, as its literature will
show. Mr.. 6yrue, the assistant general
pasSru niger agent quoted by Mr.. Harry. has
no more 10 DO with the making of rates over
the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe than Mr..
Hardy. II. C.. Thompson Of Galveston is
the man who has charge OF the business.
and The GAZETTE knows he is doing all in
MS power for Texas The Santa Re covers
several states and territories. and Texas is
receiving is fair treatment IS any Of them.

ties, or even states : THE Santa Fc was the
first road to announce the harvest eXcur-
sion rates with stop-over privileges from
Chicago 10 Texas points. and it was SO an
