is now in New York. By the way, speak
ing OF MAJ Wathen, reminds me that the
rumors that this Is Missouri, Kansas and
Texas enterprise is probably due to the
fact that ne was formerly chief engineer
OF the Katy. But this is not the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas enterprise, and there is
little reason to suppose it will ever get con-
troll OF the road. 1t certainly will not if it
is in the power of the present board TO pre-
vent it. The country through which the
line passes is an exceedingly rich and fer
tile one, and have no doubt The advent of
the road will be follOMed by a vast increase
in the area of farm lands brought under
cultivation. 1t also penetrateS the wheat
belt and will have a vast amount of cattle
shipments. The building OF the line will
also stimulate the opening of the coal de-
posits, which are believed 10 exist, and de-

Of the Rock Island extending 10 Texas and
Of the Frisco extending southwest from

event this line will be q very important

not the Missouri, Kansas and Texas.

Mr. Gould wore dark brown suit or
clothes small black tie and little derby hat.
He wore the same collar button that he
purchased in Fort Worth five years ago.
His shoes had just been artistically polished
by the porter of his car, and reflected sur
rounding objects with the clearness of a
mirror. He generally wore his hands in
his pants pockets. He frequently turned 10
his son, George, TO call his attention to OBJ
jects of interest. He was deeply interested
in the process OF the hog killing anu dress
ing. and intimated the men were remarka-
bly, proficient in the use Of the butcher
knife. He shifted the mingled cdors with
no more apparent disrelish than he would
manifest in smelling the perfumes Of new
mown hay While at the barbecue II was
noticed he ate the meats with great relish,
while the Texas breezcs played softly with
the gray hairs in his beard.
He expressed himself as delighted with
Fort Worth. and inquired how
lots were selling in Buena Vista
Heights. He manifested the live
lest interest in Fort Worth matters
and critically scanned the yards and the
reservation. Upon arrival in the city he
insisted on having his car set on the south
side of the Yards where the cool breezeS
from the southland might fan his slumbcr
ing form while the lowing of the Texas cat
tie in the stock pens mingled softly with
the dulCet tones of switch engines, whlS-
ties, and the melOdiouS clang of engine bells,
punctuated occasionally with the popping
of a road engine while standing at the de-
pot waiting Tor orders. He slept sOundly
all night and arose with the larks in the
morning greatly refreshed by his nights
rest. When d GAZETTE reporter visited the
car NJ o'clock in the morning the lights
seemed wrapped in blissful slumber. This
visit of Mr.. Gould means great things for

already assumed proportions which make 1t
matter of no small consequence.
While We do not presume to dictate to the
people of your city IN regard TO their

TO the fact that the proposed Fort Worth

Attention is called to these points merely
for the purpose of showing your people the

THE ALBU0UERRUES.
The New AIeNicans Want the Road and
Are Anxious For Its Construction.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
ALBUQUERQUE, \. NJ, April 10.-Al-
though the Fort Worth and Albuquerque
road seems to be in st2tu quo at your end of
the line. the interest in the enterprise IS
still alive here, and we are ready and viii
ling 10 aid it by any means in our power.
The advantages TO accrue to Fort Worth
from the construction of such a line are in
creasing every day, and 1t is now apparent
to the most casual observer that the build
Ing OF this road would put your
place in direct communication, not
only with the richest and
most populous section of New
Mexico, but at the same time with all the
Northwest, because certain enterprises
which are now developing show beyond
any reasonable doubt that the business of
all the northwestern country is destined to
center 1t Albuquerque. Movement is now
being inaugurated at this point by reason of
which it is beliered the proposed extension
OF the Denver and Rio Grande road from
Espanola to Albuquerque will take tangi-
organized at this point to construct the
line, and under existing circumstances this
is entirely practicable. The distance is
less than seventy miles. and ten miles of
this. including nearly all the heavy work
on the line, is already graded. There are
no streams to cross, and there viii be no
bridges to build, except over few aroyas.
The expense of making the road-bed will
br comparatively very little, and the Den
yer and Rio Graude people have offered 70
furnish the material for the track al very
low prices, and on easy terms, and 10 epsr-

Rapidly.
Yesterday evening Mr. J. B. Hopkins
of Henrietta came down on business.
Being asked by a GAZETTE reporter as to
the status of affairs on the RED River and
Southwestern railway he said: The line has
been permanently located as far as Archer
and the contract for the grading has been
let from Henrietta 10 Archer, distance Of
thirty miles TO Burket, Burns & Murphy
OF Taylor and 100 teams will be at work
this morning.. The contract has been sub

camps stretched out along the line for
many miles. The line is u remarkably easy
one having no heavy grades, no deep cuts
or high fills and no bridges. There will, Of
course, be considerable number of
small culyerts in t order to pro

the towns have raised subsidies almost
sufficient to pay for the grading. The
cost Of the track and equipment VIII be
less than $1,000 4 mile or $500 600 for the
entire distance. Six members of the
board OF directors are individually worth
nearly that amount. and the board is
abundantly able-and doubtless will
build the road themselves.

- Mai Mclaughlin, who is well known as
having built many miles of road in Texas,
has inspected the line from Henrietta TO
Abilene, in the interest of the Union trust
company of ST. Louis, and New York
parties, and his report on the matter is
that the line Will be a paying one from the
start and occupies the best unoccupied sec

line is that it is only nee

whether the line will go to Throckmorton or

Special to the Gazette

AUSTIN, Tex, April FL c. Cross, one
of the receivers of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad, and Traffic Manager
Waldo of the same road, Were here yester-
day and called upon the governor TO confer
with him with reference to the transfer to-
day by Receiver Cross of the East Line
railroad to the state, as represented by
State Receiver Giles, appointed some time
ago by Judge keyes of the Travis county
district court. 1t was agreed on the part
Of MIR. Cross that an informal transfer
would take place to-day at Mineola, to
which place Receiver Giles went day or
two ago, and Receiver Cross went yester-
day. II IS probably well known that the
charter OF this road was forfeited nearly
two years ago at the suit of the attorney
general, but the transfer of the road to the
control of the state was forestalled by the
action OF the Federal court in suddenly
placing it in the hands of Federal receivers.

WHAT IT MEANS.
A Railroader's Opinion of the Santa Fe
Excursion.


Probably one of the best known railroad
men in Texas is L. D. Foak, of the@New
England cattle car company. Speaking of
the Santa F'e excursion Saturday Mr.. Voak
said: sThis is big thing for the packing
house and for Fort Worth, and these ex-
cursions should be run on every road in
Texas at least once every thirty days, from
TeXarkana and Ell Paso, from TcXline and
Galveston, from DeniSon and San Antonio,
and al intermediate points 10 Fort Worth.
This packing house cannot be considered as
Of Fort Worth alone. 1t is for Texas and
Of Texas. 1t is an institution which ap-
peals TO every Texan for support. It af-
fords a home market for Texas cattle and
Texas hogs, and consequently better prices
1t should be fostered by all Texans for this
reason, and they should give their patron
age TO this house instead OF Kansas City or
Chicago These excursions should be kept
up, not only by the Santa Fe, but
by all other roads. Every opportunity
should be given to see the packing
house and its products and form
the acquaintance Gifts managers. There is
not grander country on the face of the earth
nor one which has more varied resources
than Texas. She needs manufacturing en-
terpriSes and the people should second the
railroads in the effort to bring distant mer-
chants TO the city Seeing is believing
Every resident of Texas has way down in
his heart feeling of state pride that re-
iOices at such evidences of Texas progress.
That heart is big in proportion TO the am
pie domains Of his state and now that the
ice has been broken, that the railroads and
the people are getting closer together, Won
dcrful results for the state and Fort
Worth-for what benefits the one benefits
the other-may be accomplished.
