Literary Notes.

Whilst we are all talking books,
thinking libraries, and searching
here and there for worthy book
gifts, it would be well to examine
the magnificent work of Paul
Elder and Morgan Shepard of
San Francisco. The five editions
of Gelett Burgess Romance of the
Commonplace, is something al
together new and original. Bur-
CESS sees everyday things from a
new aspect, and for him, the
worlds stage presents n never
ending comedy of such tineness
that the inward quiet smile is
continually provoked. The pre-
sentiment of his humor appeals to
the eye in neatest typographical
form and on hand made paper.
Another we'll gotten-up book
from the same house is DR.. David
Starr Jordan's Philosophy of De-
spair, set Of strikingly MASTER
full thoughts suggested by certain
pessimistic quatrains of Omar
Khayyam. DR.. Jordan resembles
the Stevenson he seems to love
so we'll, and yet his work has a
charming Ruskinian persuasive
ness that makes the reader newly
IN love with life and the world.
Two better gift books for mid
die aged reader could not be found,
and if some we'll wisher casting
about for a contribution to the
San Angelo Public Library, should
donate these, he would earn the
| Thanks Of dozens Of readers. y y -

RENEWED ACTIVITY.
Along Lines Of Orient Route-Impetus
Given by Gould's and Purdy's
Connection With Enterprise.

A Waco special says, advices
received here by prominent rail-
way men indicate renewed activi-
ty along the Texas line selected
by A. E. Stilwell for the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient railway,
which is destined to connect Kan
sas City and St. Louis by an al
most air line with n port on the
Pacific coast of Mexico. The re-
newal of operations by the build
ing and grading contractors is
attributed to the influence of the
Missouri Pacific Railway com.
pany. At the last meeting of the
stockholders of Orient route,
George J. Gould and Warren G 1.
Purdy were elected directors and
following the advent of the two
railway magnates named, into
the Kansas City, Mexico and Or
lent scheme, impulse was given
all along the projected route. The
work Jagged for awhile and III the
Northwestern Texas counties
graders disappeared wholly from
the scene, creating the impression
that the project of building the
line had been abandoned. 1t is
said that the cause of the sus-
pension of work was the inability
of the projectors to procure cross
ties and steel at any price, owing
to combination of opposing rail-
roads which desired to bring the
construction of the Orient route tc
a halt. 1t was no trouble for
Messrs. Gould and Purdy to bring
about an adjustment in the par
ticulars mentioned, and the grad
ers are again at work with the
track builders close at hand. The
Orient route will enter Texas
West of the ninety-eighth meri,
dian, and after traversing the
Northwestern and Western coun,
ties will cross the Rio Grande into
! the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, q
long distance below FL Paso. II
will materially affect the trans.
portation of Texas cotton to ia
pan and China, diverting that
traffic from the Southern Pacific
and the California port to the
MeXicaL port touched by the Or
lent route. At Stamford, Jones
county, which will probably be
the junction of the Texas Contra
/ and the Orient route, surveyors
are at work in the interest o
other lines which are rushing in
to that region to divide with tho
Orient route the enormous troi'i,
!. the development of Western Tex

Quarantine Law Sustained.

At Washington, last week the
United States supreme court
sustained the constitutionali-
ty Of the stock quarantine law
Of Colorado. The decision was
announced by Justice Harlan and
was based on the case of S. II.
Reed VS.. The people of Colorado.
The law prohibits the importation
of cattle or other livestock into
the State from points of the
thirty-sixth parallel of latitude
between April and November, I'M
less they bear bills of health 4.
The law was attacked as uncon-
stitutional, and rs antagonistic to
the interstate commerce law and
the animal industry law, but the
court held the law TO be within
the rights of the State to protect
its own citizens. An application
for writ of error in the habeas
corpus proceedings by Reed was
also overruled.
In the course Of his opinion
Justice Harlan said that the cattle

in question were on the way from
Texas to Wyoming and that it was
admitted they were not infected
by any contagious disease. OF
the claim that one State has n
right to ship livestock from one
state to another, the court said
that Il state may protect its people
against infection and contagion,
taking care always that the means
employed to that end do not go
beyond the necessities of the
case or unreasonably burden the
exercise of privilege of citizens.
As there is no evidence as to the
practical operation of this regu-
lation on shippers of cattle, as it
does not appear otherwise that it
can be obeyed without embarrass-
ment or without unnecessary de-
lay, the court cannot assume
arbitrarily that it was wholly
without authority in the circum-
stances, or that it unduly burden
ed the exercise of the privilege OF

Frisco May Extend to Devils River
Country.

Last Saturday II corps of Frisco
surveyors arrived in Brady and
are now engaged in running II
preliminary survey from Brady
to Menardville, and on to the
Devils river country. This is
the most practical route for the
Frisco and we believe when it does
it will go in this direction, but
we are inclined to think this pre-
liminary survey nothing but n
bluff at calling the hand Of the
Colorado and Santa Fee, who pros
pected in this section with a view
to building branch line from
Lampasas to McKavett,
1t is thought that Brady will be
the terminus of the Frisco until
competition forces another extern
sion. That the road will build ON
now is not seriously thought of,

AS the statute does not forbid
the introduction of all livestock
coming from defined territory,
but only prescribes certain meth
DDS of protection, and as those
methods have been devised by the
State under its reserved power to
protect the property of its people
from injury and do not appear
upon their faces to be unreason-
able, we must, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, assume
that they are appropriate to the
