GULF SHORE ROAD.
The Movement Gathers Strength
From Day to Day.

From Day to Day.
The directors of the Gulf Shore
road are the busiest lot of men in
this southwest. Matters are coming
to focus, and it grows more and
more certain that the road will be
built, and that construction will
begin from the San Antonio end Of
the line. The committee on sOlic-
itation in this city is waiting the
issue OF certain events, which, once
determined, will leave the matter
in position for positive adjustment
within two weeks.
The propositions for contract
submitted to Capt. Davis were so
far out of the way, according to his
ideas, that they were at once re-
jected and negotiations by wire
opened with a North Texas con-
tractor, who is expected to arrive
before Monday. Should he confirm
by word of mouth what he has al
ready written the contract will be
given him and in that event three
of the leading business men OF the
city guarantee to raise the $780,
600 stock subscription within tif-
teen days.
The contractor has been invited
to conference with Captain Davis,
Col. George Breckenridge, T. c.
Frost, Chas. Hugo and Frank &
Co., and in case of satisfactory in
terview these gentlemen will in
terest themselves in securing the
needed subscription, which in their
opinion VIII be done.
Representatives from sections
all along the line are in
the city with propositions,
but they dwindle wonderfully
from the reports when put on
paper. There is no doubt that the
interest taken in this project is
just fairly started and that it will
grow until it insures the building
of the road and the opening to the
merchants af this city the magni.

tween this and the mouth of the
