then the fire works beganl Great
clouds seemed to suddenly and
swiftly arise from the earth into
the air, many feet, branching and
spreading out in the ascent.
The sight of these, some success
sively and some SO near together
as to be almost indistinguishable,
one from the other, were followed
by loud and deep detonations.
The broken stones fell like
heavy shower of hail for many
feet around, and the pictures pre-
sented were suggestive of the
blowing up of Hell-Gate, in New
York harbor some years ago, or
of reports of the eruption of Mt.
Pelee more recently.
This little "cut," in which
there were % blast holes, u few
feet apart, drilled, and to loosen
the rock in which it required 81
kegs of powder, of % pounds
each, represented cost of
nearly $500, while Mr.. Kurz
pointed out another "cut" which
cost about $4,000. There is much
of this character of work in this
section, and it will call for the
expenditure of vast sums of
money to do it. 1t is obvious
that San Angelo trade and allied
interests will get the benefit of
the money which is thus being
put into circulation, and it will
amount to a sum which will make
the bonus look like the proverbial
80 cents"
Mr.. Kurz's contract calls for
20 miles from the point where the
Orient line intersects the Santa
Fe track, and several subcontrac-
tors are at work beyond the
locality mentioned in the fore
going.
Seeing is believing" and the
sight of this immense work going
on, the large number of people
with teams, plows, scrapers, etc,
employed, and the lndlsputable
evidence of the expenditure of
vast sums Of money at our very
doors and through our own bust
ness channels should convince
even the blindest and most con-
frmed skeptic that the Orient,
regardless of rumors, reports,
misgivingsand bellyachings to the
contrary, is the real thing to the
entire extent of the original pro-
ject from Kansas City to Toboio-
bampp, with the branch lines
thrown in.
Those of our business men
who have had dealings with these
Orient people, whether in pro-
jecting, engineering or construc-
ton departments, have found
them courteous to an unusual de-
gree, and conscientious and UNI
selfish to an extent that is re-
freshing when the covetous grab
all policy so often manifests
itself in business.

KURz IS BUSY
Making the Dirt Fly and Turning
Money Loose on Orient Grade
In Tom Green County.

Accepting the very kind invi-
tation of Geo. Brockman, the old
standby at Findlater's, II Press
man improved the opportunity of
making visit to the Orient
grading camps in Tom Green
county, nearest San Angelo.
The drive is about If miles from
the city to the first camp, but the
distance is about two miles
shorter by the Orient line. This
first section is about three miles
long and tents are scattered all
along at intervals and occupied
by subcontractors and the men
under them, making in all quite
little city, though of the
"stringtown" order. The head
quar- ters camp of the chief con-
tractor, Mr.. Nicholas Kurz, was
reached after some inquiry, but
the visitors were most courteous
ly and cordially received by Mr..
Kurz and his chief assistant, Mr..
Porter Christie, the chief contrac-
tor and ushered into their
camp drawing room'--and n
most comfortable one it was. 1t
was not long after that the gong
sounded the welcome news that
dinner was ready, and the guests
needed no second invitation,
quickly following Mr.. Kurz' S
lead into the dining room"
Mrs. Smith, who generally pre-
sides here, had left to spend The
holidays, but the "old man" was
holding down the situation in
first-class shape and the product
of his culinary efforts proved that
the madam has raised him right.
Following was the
MENU:

AS usual, the newspaper
man disgraced himself, but
this was n compliment to the
host-and the cook. In the
mean time, Mr.. 7. Yates Walsh,
superintendent of construction
had returned from trip to the
new town site on the Colorado,
near Bronte, and the rye tonic
and cigars brought by Mr.. Brock
man were judiciously sampled all
around Mr.. Walsh left for the
city, to see about some right OF
way matters and Mr.. Kurz escort
ed the visitors to point on the
grade where II big blast was being
put III. The holes, some %, had
been drilled and the men were
carefully filling them with the
powder, of which 81 barrels (oi
20 pounds each) were put into
