Railroad Remarks.

awake and keeping right up witt
every crook and turn in railroad
matters, and alive to the interes
of San Saba. It may be taken az
a fact that when the said commit

amount must be raised as bonus
that if the citizens raise the sale

This committee is working OF
facts and figures, and viii not pes
ter our citizens with raising a bo
nus on mere possibilities.
The citizens of Llano, San Saba
Fredericksburg and San Antonio
feel pretty sure of getting the Fl
Worth and Rio Grande, but should
not relax any of their vigilance OF
zeal to that end. It is very much
to the interest of Llano just now to
get the road at this place instead
ofallowing it to go west of here.
Ip-fact it is the most important
thing before the people of Llano.
1t may be that the road will build
line from Brownwood through
these towns to San Antonio and
after awhile build another line
from Brownwood in another direc-
tion.-LlRno Times.
Now that interest is awakened
in railroad matters our citizens
should never cease work until we
get 3 road. If the Rio Grande
won't come here, pull right on and
buildia tap to the Santa Fe, 1t is
only about II miles and one Lott
built whole system with $500 to
start on and that was borrowed.
THE LLANO RAILROAD.
" All Miller, one of the most
enterprising and best known citi-
zen of Llano arrived in San Anto-
MO yesterday and viii remain here
until the remainder Of the commit
tee, of which he is a member, ar
rives to confer with local business
men in regard to offering encour-
agemeuts to the Fort Worth & Rio
Grande Railroad company to ex
tend their line through Llano and
Fredericksburg 10 some point on
the KerrvilIe branch of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Aass. He
states that the people of LIano are
very anxious that the extension be
built as proposed and stand ready
to contribute their share towards
the enterprise. The full commit
tee viii reach here the latter part
of the week and a meeting of the
Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce will probably be called
to take action on any proposition
that may be submitted.-S A Ex-
press.
Was San Saba represented at
that meeting? Ifnot, why not?
Now that there is good pros
pect for San Saba to secure one of
the best railroads in the State, and
that we have gone so far that the
road seems almost a fact. Don't
stop pulling but work the harder,
lest we may be seven years discuss
ing whose fault it was that we
missed the road. Right now is the
proper time to pull. Everything
so far fairly indicates that we can
get the road if we all continue to
work and pull together. Don't sit
back and and wait for one or two
to do it all
Llano is "In the swim" Capt.
talists from all parts of the coun-
try are gathering there for the pur-
pose Of investments. Propositions
are being made for the extension
of the Fort Worth g. Rio Grande
road from Brentwood by San Saba
to Llano and thence to San Anto-
MO, that Will doubtless be accepted
by the company. Right Of way
and the grade below Llano, already
complete with the exception of fif-
teen miles, together with good
cash subscription is being offered,
and the company indicate their
willingness to accept the PROPOSE
ton when made in due FORM

1t now seems probable that we
ct get the railroad if we want ii.
All that is needed is little sys-
tematic working. Our committee
will look we'll after the plans and
arrangements, and the citizens
generally should contribute to the
help Of the committe and be ready
to subscribe literally when the
bonus committee calls.
Editor Hagan, of the San Saba
News has pulled off bis coat and
rolled up his sleeves" to build the
Rio Grande from Brentwood to
his city. The town of San Saba
should harken to the voice of the
News and give solid aid to its eff
forts to i'm prove town and county.

Yes, we are right in for railroad
connection with Brentwood. What
has Brentwood to say?
San Saba, Llano, Fredericks-
burg, Boerne and San Antonio
want the Fort Worth & Rio Grande
extension from Bro xnwood.-
