iwArTING LEGISLATIVE ACTION. "
sAe question has been asked here why
Apham business men had become sud-
NY so quiet about the railway which.
n 10 have been built ere this into. the
hiros valley.
|ssNoy the sudden silence on the part OF
ny writer and others might appear
afange 70 those who do not know all that
|Afanspiring In this railway matter. Pep-
~ Who build railroads do not always tell
|Hefything to the world until a certain
ilna comes, and 1t is believed that plans
|&se SO far progressed that 1t will not be
|znlss to let the general public into a little
~ !ne informa lion. 1t will be remembered
|aat Hon. Heber Stone was instructed at
mass meeting Of citizens TO appoint "a
Ahuittee OF business men to go properly
p'o tne matter of this railroad into the
tsszos valley and that said committee be
{s w to solicit from public spirited
f"Iens certain funds with which to create
sgrporaion. ETC., the subscribers to this
Illa 70 pc given In exchange shares of
NeR etc. That committee appears 10
IAse dropped into condition OF innocuous
fsuetude. The truth is that matters are
\ \, 4 ssnndstill awaiting the journey of a
" through tho legislature. This bin Is
" Nnich provides for the reiuvenation OF
asrlers OF railroads which have rot
{sssq more than two years. II viii be re-
j NJ, that BRENNAN started in To-
spu me Brenham and Brazos Valley road
;s,sI years ago, and that after procuring
ISalmsler, ETC., the work was dropped for
La.a's matter of two years--so that the
Ky. .t privileges lapsed. If the bill now,
Wy legislature passes the house, as IL
n aiready gone through the senate. Y
" slve the projectors OF the old line the
y. 70 reluvenato under the old charter,
Y . mere VIII be railway agitation When
t.ohi passes Senator Stone will appoint
sonmittec and the work will be com
s.,a with new life and new blood under
wv charter and the old survey.
