Railroad Party Entertained.

As reported in yesterdays HER
AID, Messrs. Lott, Hinckley and
Read of the railroad party, on their
return from the Point, went directly
out to look at the rice plantations,
being accompanied by several OF
our citizens, who met them at the
train with turn-outs from the
Barbee stable. The party went the
round of the leading plantations
and found things looking quite
promising, although the rice that is
up is not yet sufficiently high to
make great showing. Still, they
saw hundreds of acres covered with
the tender green shoots, and a
world OF level ploughed ground with
miles of levees, which has been or
is now being planted, and saw the
main canal and laterals filled with
water, and every indication that an
enterprise of very great Importance
is an actual fact at Brownsville.
On their return to town about dusk,
the party was taken to the hand
some residence of ". NJ. Radcliffe.

general manager Of the Brownsville
Land and Irrigation Company and
entertained in elegant style, an ex-
cellent repast being served.

Report Will Be Favorable.


Seeking some information on the
subject of the railroad project for
HERALD readers, the editor last
evening had brief interview with
J.F. Hinckley, chief engineer OF
j.. construction for the St. Louis and
San Francisco railroad, who is
one of the party that has just come
over the line Of the proposed rail
road to Brownsville with Col. Lott.
Mr.. Hinckley, who is a member
OF the American Society Of Civil
Engineers, has been with the Frisco
company good many years, and
his verdict Will doubtless seal the
fate Of this project for veal or woe.
1t is therefore of interest to our
people.
In reply to the question as to his
object in making this trip, Mr..
Hinckley said that he came as the
representative of the Frisco COM
pany, to report upon the feasibility
and advantages or Disadvantages
Of the proposed road, and also to
pass upon the bid for the construc
ton of the road which will be made
by Messrs. Johnston Brothers, the
railroad contractors of st. Louis,
who came in the same party.
"You may say" remarked Mr..
Hinckley, ''that my report will be
favorable. l am, in fact, much
more favorably impressed with the
country than [ really expected to
be- Whether my report will result
in the construction of the road, of
course, l cannot say"
He was, however, of the opinion
that the road will be built. Asked
as to wnen work would begin, in
the event the company undertakes
the project, Mr. Hinckley said that,
should the Frisco decide to build
the road, it would begin as soon as
possible, and that track-laying
would almost certainly be under
way by next September.
Mr. Hinckley said that he did
not know yet where construction
would probably begin, not having
visited Sinton SO far In regard to
the Frisco's present work in Texas.
he said that construction has now
progressed as far as Brady, some
hundred and fifty miles northwest
of San Antonio, in McCulloch coun-
ty, having been pushed rapidly
from Oklahoma City.
If the company undertakes the
Brownsville project, Mr.. Hinckley
expects to return later and make a
preliminary survey for the extern
sion of the line to Tampico, Mex
leo.
