b. kew Eoad to Roswti
There is mucn talk Of a1eilroad
Denton and Decatur through this
section to Roswell, n. NJ, and It IS
said that work is being done at Ros-
well on the grade. However true OF
false, it is certain that a railroad is
needed through this country todevelop
its farming interests, and it would be
a paying investment, opening as It
would d scope OF country 220 miles
wide by 800 miles long that is not
touched by a road.
If the views of A. B. Stickney, pres
ident Of the Chicago Great Western
road, be given practical effect, some
thing of a revolution may be created
iii the grain trade Of the west. In an
address before the Commercial club
Of Omaha Mr.. Stickney explained that
one object of the extension OF his road
to that city was to make Omaha a
grain market. Chicago's greatness,
he declared, was the fact that every
conceivable product, in every conceive
able quantity, finds a buyer in Chi
cage. Grains, fruits, vegetables, live
stock, everything, goes. He said he
verify believed that il some idiot
should ship carloads or trainloads Of
black cats, some Chicago dealer would
buy them, and some Chicago bank
would loan the money to carry
them, and both would realize a profit.
Chicago, he declared, is peerless and
incompatible. In ali the world there
is no market town like 1t.
Praise for Morton.
L. w. Howe OF the Atchison Globe
seldom writes anything that Is not
worth the reading. Here Is one OF
his iatest:- vs-.
Il have never accepted the doctrine
that the prominent men Of this coun-
try spend their time gloating owe
Their, money, and in making plans for
grinding down the people. On the
contrary, | have always admired these
men, because I know that their prom
tinence is the result Of ability; of prac-
ticing industry, fairness and polite
hess a little more steadily than their
fellows. Pick out any captain Of IN
dustry in this country, and, in spite
OF his riches, here are the facts about
him: He is a little better workman
than the men who work with him /;
he Us a little more polite than his as
sociates, q little more careful in pay
ling his debts, d little more careful in
being fair and honorable.
