The Interurban Road.

At the adjourned meeting of the
city council the other morning let
ter was read from MIR. A. T. Byars,
the promoter of the interurban road,
stating that two surveys had been
made to Ennis and it was hoped
the council would accept that as an
earnest of their good faith to build
the road. After some discussion of
the matter the letter was tabled.
Another letter was received from
MIR. Byars yesterday in which he
stated that his right of way agent
would probably reach Waxahachie
In day or two for the purpose of
procuring the right of way from
here to Ennis. From the informa-
tion contained i'm this letter it seems
that the promoters are in earnest
about the matter and that the road
will be built some time during the
year. 1T is claimed that work will
be considerably delayed on account
of the mills and factories of the
east being behind with orders.

SUGGESTS PRAYlHG FOR RAIN
At the Prayer MsetinG Services
IN Waxahachie Tonight.

EDITOR LIGHT
1t occurs to me that the present
Is a very propitious time for the
christian people of this country to
petition the Lord of heaven and
earth for ram. We all believe that
in few days, without rain, the
corn crop will be practically fail
ure. Is there no remedy? Do the
christian people of Waxahachie be-
lieve that God will answer their
prayers2 / believe that Gods word
teaches clearly that He controls the
seasons and sends or withholds the
rains as He chooses. / believe that
His word also teaches that 1t Is our
duty to ''make our requests known
unto Him by prayer and supplica-
tion, with thanks" and that He
will hear the prayer of faith. win
therefore suggest that every christ
ian in Waxahachie who believes
that 1t is right to pray for rain and
that God will hear and answer the
PRAYER of faith, attend one of the
prayermeetings tonight and make
special supplication to God for rain,
not forgetting to add, "Thy will be
DONE - Xxx.

Very Hopefui OF a Franchise,

Prof. James g. Halapleus, chief engi
neer and manager for the Capital Light

interest of franchise which the COM

asserts that the company will be able to
furnish the line to the extent of 500
horsepower If needed. He says that the
citizens there are enthusiastic over the
proposed electric line though they all
claim that it will help Santa Fe more
than it will their own town. He says
also that lie was never treated better in
his life and praises highly the people OF
the Meadow City.

Washington, Oct 25,-The Texas
haustively in the report of the United
States geological survey. The existence
of pet aum in the gulf coastal plane
extending inland for 100 miles has been
known as far back as 1850. The re-
port says the extreme porosity of Spin
die Top oil rock favors the storage OF
very large volume of oil and very
rapid yield when the reservoir is tap
ped. But it also favors an early ex-
haustion of oil in the pool and it's rap
id replacement by the underlying salt
water. The conclusion reached with
regard to the Spindle Top field is that
Spindle Top rock contains about one
fourth it's volume of OIL Even if the
estimate is one barrel obtained for ev-
cry 26 cubic feet for Spindle Top and a
little less for the other field, there
should be a yield equal to the Baku
fields in Russia and a much greater
output than that of the other American
fields.
