Logan-The only man who could get

Appraisers were appointed yesterday
TO appraise all property on the west side
of Mosley avenue, between Douglas ave-
nue. and Morris street. The gentlemen
named are as follows: L. ". Clapp. j.
p. Allen. and W. r. Tucker. The road
has decided recently 10 operate their
line themselves, and Mr.. ". P. Homan,
>wh5 is general manager for Receiver A.
L. Wolf. was seen yesterday and verb
fed the above statement.
The road was constructed some six or
seven years ago from this city TO Els
worth, and has been used by the Frisco
according 10 the conditions OF a lease
which that road held upon the road.
The change in the Frisco has released the
Midland from its agreement with that
road and now Il IS proposed TO run the
road upon its own account. and with
that end in view. the road has been pur-
chasing property along the west side Of
Mosley from Douglas 10 Morris, upon
which 70 construct depots. and lay side
tracks. Mr.. Homan stated yesterday that
the road had purchased at least four
fifths of the property and that only
about one-fifth would be 10 appraise and
condemn. Mr.. Homan, among other
things, said:
''I cannol tell at this time just what
will be done. out We intend 10 begin op-
eratiOns soon. The present plan is 20
build both passenger and freight depots
and to lay side tracks enough TO facili-
tate all traffic of the road. making this
city the terminal
No action can be taken in the matter
for thirty days. but il is almost as good
as done now, as all the preliminary steps
have already been taken. Just how soon
the road will be put in operation cannot
be stated. but the work Will be pushed
toward completion as soon as possible.
