Hon. T. r. Burlington, prominent
young attorney OF Anderson, Grimes coun-
~. was in Houston for short while last
night en- route from his home to Austin,
where he goes to mako application Tor
charter for the Texas Northern Railway
company. This company is composed OF
wenlthy aud influential men of Grimes
county and has for its Immediate purpose
the building OF road from Anderson,
twelve miles south, to Stoneham. station
on the Conroe branch OF tho Santa Re,
botween Marlborough and Plantersviile.
Conditional on the successful completion
and operation OF this much OF the line, II
is the intention of the promoters to extend

moro than likely be selected as tho south

MIR. burlington stated TO reporter Tor
The Post last night that the progress made
in the organization OF the company SO far
was OF such nature as to almost preclude
the possibility OF failure. Personally ne
has a great deal OF faith in the enterprise
and he says that the others who are In

as to it's success. Donations of land have
already been made by those who Will Do

large amounts as TO practically insure the

believed that arrangements for the issue
OF bonds for the. contemplated extensions
