railroad out of San Antonio, and the
indications point now to the project

Brownsville Railway company, with q
capits stock of 1915, 900. The purpose
of the company is to build a railroad
from San Antonio to Brownsville, q
distance of 275 miles. Among the in.
corporators are number of prominent
and wealthy business men of San An
tonic, and there is every reason to
believes that the road will be i'm
mediately built. The full list of incor-
porators is as follows.
Charles Hugo, Jesse Oppenheimer,
Frank Grice, F. W. Cook, Jr. G. s..
Stieren, 81. M. Aubrey, John 81. Clark,
J. S. McKinnon, J. M. Nix, L. J. Hart
and b. e. Hildebrand.
Brownsville and all of the counties
through which the proposed road will

wards the enterprise, some of these
bonuses having already been raised.

LABORING MEN IN DEMAND.
Not Enough Men to Run Trains
etc, on the NJ, X. ct.

While great many men are being
laid off on the different branches of the
railroads running through Ell Paso,
and in this vicinity remarked promi-
nent official today, still the demand
for laboring men through central
Texas is very great. 1 saw Superin-
tendent Sullivan, of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, few days ago and
he told me that the road is very short
on laboring men, it being almost i'm
possible to procure q sufficient number
to run their sections, extra gangs,
etc. This certainly is encouraging
to the large number of unemployed
railroad men which you always find at
this time of the year.

The last cbaptsr In the famous Coles
worthy ell case Is now to be written.
Col. John ID. Prindabls protested against
tbs erection Of an ell TO the house Of Sam
uel II. Colesworthy on Grove street, and
when 1t was discovered that Mr.. Coles
worthy had erected the ell to his house
without a permit, the board OF aldermen
after considerable discussion ordered that
1t be torn down. This order was Issued
to the city marshal. IL was claimed by
many attorneys of Portland that II the
city marshal should execute this order
Of the board Of aldermen, he would be IL
able to damages for trespass. Ar. Coles
worthy posted big signs about his proper
ty warning trespassers from his property
and the city marshal did not trespass.
The other day MIR. Colesworthy notified
the building Inspector, Alvin Jordan,
that his house had been finished accord
ing to the building inspectors sugges-
tions and that 1t was ready for oocupsn-
cy. MIR. Jordan at once issued permit
to MIR. Colesworthy to occupy the house.
so 1t is quite evident that the city author
tiles have no intention of tearing down

and to get to them the steamer must
maze its way about the numerous is
