Another Sensation.

q few days ago. He was from Alpine,
Brewster county, while IN tie legislature,
but ike all rising young men, he has
naturally gravitatcd toward larger neld
for his talents.
Representative Turney was among that
class Of representatives, that always took
the liberal and conservative view Of all
matters OF legislation. He was essentially
| non-partisan and never voted Tor a meas
ure because OF any political colorlng that
his predictions may have received during
election times. In company with Mr. Tur-
| ney there were Representatives Dasheu,
! simmons OF Maverick, Slayden OF BeNar,
/. AAcLemore of NueceB and many other
| young men, all Of one age approximately
! n Post man wanted to know OF Col
/ onel THney what he had IN the way OF
news ana was answered ia the following
! language; we are a long way OF and
| we are often engaged in enterprises OF
! great Importance to US that do not attract
! the notice Of the outside world. For in
I stance have seen no mention IN any OF
! the big datlies of the railroad We are
| projecting and which viii enter largely
| INTO our commercial affairs. The road 1
| refer to Is TO be built from Chispa, In
! Preside county. to the Rio Graude. This
! line will leave the Southern Pacific at
\ q
distance Is twenty-seveu miles and Is ir-
/ tended for the best and quickest menus
I Of transportation for the vast quantities
| Of coal which have lately been discovered
| In the Rio Grande country. This coal
seems to be ineXhaustible and is such BIZ
luminous specimen as Is found in such
large quantities In the Indian Territory.
Boston people are TO furnish the capital
for the construction Of the road and one
OF the prime movers is Mr. I'D Russell
OF El Paso
while on the subject OF railroads, I
want to say that l am anxious to see
the railroad commission at work again
There Is vast field that needs their at
IGNITION at this time. DO You know that
the Southern Pacific Is charging for the
transportation Of wool from Maria to san
Antonio A.25 on the 100 pounds, whilst
under the commission regulation the price
was So cents. with the extraordinarily
low price Of wool such rate Is ruiHous
mo, our people are not talking much
politics Jno. u. Mccall seems to have
some strong friends among the officials
and he may expect them to stand by him
" he Is a candidate for governor, though
Charley Culbegson is b. large odds the
most popular man whose name Is men
ticuca / hear Joe Sayers mentioned and
his name carries with % profound respect
but then he is not d candidate Tor gov
eruor, Is he? He could not be Induced to
change the current Of his political prestige
al TINS time. He Is too useful in the house
