Temples New Railroad.

A dispatch from Galveston says: Col
onel Thos. Cronip, interested in the
building of the new railroad from
Temple to Salado is in town.
The colonel is well.known here and is
busy today greeting friends. He is an
old railroad man, having for twenty
years seen service with the Interna-
tional and Great Northern road and
for four years after that was with the
Houston East and West Texas, but
now has gone into the railroad bust
ness himself as one of the projectors
of the new line designed to run be-
ween Temple and SaladO, Texas, q dis
lance of eighteen miles, and giving
connection for the country between
with the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa F'e
roads. Today the colonel stated that
the raising of money for the construc-
ton of the road is going forward ra-
pidly, and great hopes are entertained
of having the building commence at an
early date.
The estimate for the cost and build.
ing of the roadway and material, with
the necessary rolling stock, is placed
at $40, 900, of which amount SAC, 900 still
remains to be assured. One feature OF
the projected road that will make il
stand prominently forth in the
history of railroads is that it will be
built and conducted entirely on q cash
basis. There will be no bonds what.
ever issued. In this respect it will
stand with the Brazos Valley road a.
the only two Texas roads having ne
bonded Indebtedness, the latter named
road now paying an annual dividend
of Is per cent upon its stock.

North Oregon Street.

We are glad to tell the people that
at last the long wanted street i'm
provements for North Oregon street
have begun, and it is hoped that the
street will be put in first class condi-
ton.
The men who are doing this work
are going up the eastern side OF the
street and will come down tho other.
The first time they are only cleaning
the cutters out and after that they will
dig them down until they get the pro-
per grade, which is eight inches below
the center of the street.
The curbipgsOn this street are bad
ly in need Of repair, and the property
owners would h. put to very little ex-
pense to do the necessary WORK to
raise the curb ny high enough to keep
the water from Overlooking the side
walks. Now the question arises, do
you own the house that you live in on
rent. If you do own the
property it looks as if you would want
it improved enough to fix it up, and If
you don't own the property and are
renter then make the necessary COM
plant to your agent about the over
flowing of the cutters and have the
curling repaired.
The natural drain of this street is
from west to east, thereby making all
or at least most of the water after q
hard rain come down the
gutter on the east side of the street.
Now when this gutter reaches
the Southern Pacific track the work
men have thrown up sort of dyke so
as to turn the water right across the
street and in to the drain ditch which
runs along the S. P. right of way from
North Oregon st. to the stock pens in
the western part of town.
The dyke above referred to is all
right maybe but it is only made of sand
and good strong run of water would
wash it out in short order, and it would
only need rise of nine inches for the
water to come over the track and down
the street and into the ground floor of
the Sheldon block as it did once be-
fore.
The right and only safe way to do
this work of transferring the water
across the street into the right of way
ditch is. according to a good civil en-
gineer's ideas, to run five foot culvert
under the street, and then that would
give the city street commissioner the
of lowering the grade of
the ditch on the eastern side of the
street fully eighteen inches.

A Fine Structure.

A Temple dispatch says: George D.
McGill, representing the Santa Fe
railroad employees and citizens joint
Young Mems Christian association
enterprise for this city, was here yes
terday with plans for the building,
which is to be a magnificent $40, 900
building three stories high. Some
weeks ago the Santa Fe railroad pro-
posed to erect building and equip
same as Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION gymnasium for the joint en-
tertatnment of the railroad men and
citizens generally, expanding So for
every dollar given by the people of
Temple. At once committee went to
work and raised $500, and now active
work on the building is to begin This
plan of caring for the social welfare of
the railroad employees by the Santa Fe
is said to be popular in the north and
east, but the Temple branch will be
the first put in this side of Kansas

MEDICAL STUDENTS.
Anxious to Render Their Services
In The Field Hospital In Cuba.

Yesterday a number of young
medical students called at the Herald
office to know whether they could
offer their services in the field hos
pitfalls of the United States army.
The answer given to them was that
the matter seemed doubtful and that in
any case, as the United States. res
pecting neutral countries, has no re-
cruiting or enlisting stations abroad,
the young men would have to pay their
own expenses to the nearest United
States recruiting station.
The incident shows the interest felt
here in behalf of the United States in
this war. Another fact worth men,

The Galveston, La Porte & Houston
Sold for $500, 900.

Houston Post.
A single bid of $4OO, 900 secured the
property and franchise of the Gal
weston, La Porte and Houston Railway
company. John Grant the special
master commissioner, proved q persist
emit auctioneer. After crying sthe bid
for some time, Mr.. Grant announc-
ed:
81 now declare the property of the
Galveston, La Porte and Houston rail-
way sold to Mr.. George G. Holt for the
sum of $4OO, OO0."
This is the mysterious gentleman
who registered from Woodstock,
Conn.,, and who has made two trips to
Galveston to buy the road. He looks
more like a lawyer than q railroad
man, and his protestation to reporters
that 81 represent myself" is simply a
clever way of keeping his own counsel.
The sum which the road brought
will not be sufficient to pay the receiv-
er's debt. After the sale had been
made gentleman remarked that the
creditors would be fortunate to receive
40 cent on the dollar. Nobody here
is widespread desire here for Hunt
ington to become the owner of the La
Porte road and nearly every man talk
ed to would give knowing wink, take
you by the buttonhole and pretend that
he had tip that the sold man." as
the head of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn is called, was behind the deal.
But nobody knows.
Regarding the purchase of the La
Porte road the Houston Post says:
The $4,000 that was yesterday
paid on the La Porte road will be in
the registry of the court at New Or
leans before these lines are received.
The chances are that within thirty
days the public will know who the real
owners of the road are. 1t is provided
in the decree that confirmation of the
sale may take place in ten days, and
the decree also provides that the pur-
chaser shall comply with his bid and
take the property within twenty days
after such confirm alton. It is true, of
course, that Mr.. Holt could have the
deed made to himself, IN which event
the public would be no wiser than it is
at present, but il is more than likely
the deed will be made direct to the
real owners. This is rendered still
more probable by the fact deeds con-
veying such large amounts of property
will have to pay a heavy tax under the
provisions of the new revenue law, and
consequently it will be to their inte-
rest to make as few transfers as posi-
BILE.
Commissioner Grant will submit a
formal report of the sale to Judge Bry-
ant today, and confirmation is expected
of the property aud the termination of
the receivership will probably come be-
fore the end of the month.
