PLAN FOR ELECTRIC ROAD
Citizens Will be Asked to Con-
slider a Proposition.

/ An era of electric railway building
appears to be opening up in Texas
in real earnest. Since the constrac-
ton of lines between Sherman and
Denison and Fort Worth and Dallas
several surveys for other lines have
been made between the most impor-
tant towns in the state. One of
these surveys was made between
this city and Ennis and the Central
Texas Traction Company has been
organized to build and operate the
road. The last heard from this pro-
jected enterprise was to the effect
that the Fort Worth parties who
were behind it had gone to New
York to interest capital in the mat
ter.
Now comes another proposition by
which Waxahaehie may be connected
with Dallas, Corsicana and Waco by
an electric freight and passenger
line. A prominent citizen of Waxa-
hachie is in receipt of a letter from
the manager of the Union Traction
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, say
ing he would have a representative
in WaxahachIe on October 10th to
meet our citizens and discuss with
them the matter of building the
above projected line. The PROPOSE
tion is in line with plan to connect
all the leading cities of North Texas
by electric railway lines, which if
carried out, will do more to develop
this section of the state than any
other enterprise that has been pro-
jected in many years. Electric roads
have been operated in the north for
several years and they have been
found by their promoters to be pay
ing investments. A mass meeting
has been suggested for the 10Th and
if it is called our citizens should be
ready to meet and confer with the
Union Traction Company's repre-
sentative.

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL
EASTERN PAPER SAYS THE SCHEME
is AN OLD ONE.
spanish Monarch PIanred the work
One Hundred Years Before the Pn-
grim Fathers Landed Mt Plymouth
Had to BE Given Up.

So we are to have an isthmian canal
at last. 1t will seem odd to have a ses-
sion of Congress without debates on
that subject. The scheme is three
times as old as the nation that is to
carry it out
The report of the isthmian canal
commission is prefaced by an interest
ing review of the history of this
project The early explorers, as is
well known, thought that they were
going to be able to sail from Europe
westward, straight to India When
they found a continent in the way,
they thought for long time that there
must surely be some natural passage
through it. But within seven years
after the discovery of the Pacific by
Balboa, the idea of connecting the two
take shape, says the Philadelphia
Evening Post
In 1920. just one hundred years be-
fore the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth,
Charles V. ordered surveys for such a
canal to be made at Panama The
project was revived by another royal
decree in 1884. The Tehauntepec, Mic
aragua, Panama and Darien routes
were all urged as they have been near
lly four hundred years later. In 1880,
during the American revolution, Nell
son was engaged in naval operations
against the Spanish territories at Mic
laragua, and he anticipated almost the
very words of the advocates of the
Nicaragua canal at the present day.
In 1914 the Spanish cortes voted to
authorize the construction of a canal
for vessels of the largest size, but cir
cumstances compelled Spain to re-
linquish the enterprise.
AS soon as the Spanish Americans
had secured their independence they
promptly turned their attention to the
canal question. In 1926 the young Re-
pupblic of Central America notified the
United States that an American COM
pany was ready to undertake the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal, and
urged the conclusion of a treaty to
promote the scheme. The inter-oceanic
canal question was one of the chief
"NJNN'S VI uiSSuSSioh III IhS dhdihd
congress of 1926. At that time the Re-
public of Central America had entered
into contract with the sanguine
American company, the forerunner OF
so many others. The company agreed
to begin work within twelve months,
If possible but at any rate within six
months afterward. That was just
three-quarters of century ago, and
the canal is still patiently waiting
But now that Uncle Sam has taken
hold of the undertaking things will
probably begin to move.

The Montana sapphires.

Mr. George F. Kunz, the well-known
gem expert. in reporting on the sap
phires of Montana, which first attract
ed attention in 1891, and which have
been extensively prospected for since,
states that the region extends for a
distance of six miles along the Mis-
souri, river, the central point being
Spokane bar. about twelve. miles from
Helena, while another point is at Yogo
Gulch, seventy-five miles to the east,
the gems of the two regions showing
marked differences.
The material so far obtained, though
beautiful, he says, contains little of
high value, that from the Missouri bars
being of wide range of color-light
blue, blue green. green and pink OF
great delicacy and brilliancy, but de-
ficient in the deep shades of blue and
red so much priced by jewellers. The
Judith river region he regards as being
more promising, as colors have been
found there ranging from light to quite
dark blue. including some of corn
flower so esteemed in the Ceylon sap
phires; also amethystine and ruby
shades.
