THE VOICE OF THE LOCO
MOTIVE.

As fine a crop of onions as was
ever seen is that of W. w. Stocking,
on his farm some three miles out
on the Alice road. Owing to lack of
railroad transportation, however,
Mr.. Stocking finds it impossible to
get an offer for his crop that is
anything like its true value. Onions
will not bear transportation by
water, it seems, and our onion
growers can only sell what the
local market will consume. Mr..
Stocking, like all others who have
tried it, is enthusiastic as to the
possibilities OF the lower Rio Grande
for truck farming as soon as the
railroad gets here-Brownsville
Herald.
Never mind, brother; Brownsville
is to have railroad, and it won't
be many months either, before the
voice Of the locomotive Will be
heard in the beautiful city of the
lower Rio Grande.-Texas Stock

PROSPEROUS TEXAS

Texas has never had a more
prosperous year than the present.
The wheat and oat crops have been
large and the yields more than an
average. The State is usually
short on corn, but this years crop
is a record breaker, and there will
easily be enough for home consump-
ton. As to grass and forage there
is enough for all purposes and some
to spare.-Texas Stockman and

1 SENSIBLE VIEW.

4 SENSIBLE We ".
The esteemed San Antonio Ex-
press has not been given to Impair
tial and liberal editorial expressions
on the railroad situation in the Rio
Grande country. 1t has been biased
in favor of the extension Of the Sap
from Alice to such extent that it
has discredited all other moves, and
IN fact. lent The weight Of its edit
orial and news columns to the work
Of killing of ali efforts toward build
ing a railroad into Brownsville
which did not involve direct con-
nection with San Antonio. Of
course this was a very narrow view
to take, but great journals like great
men often make egregious mistakes.
However, the following pertinent
and sensible editorial from the Ex-
press is sufficient to show that at
last it is disposed to look at the
situation as BELTS the occasion.
The Expires said July 6:
The people Of Brownsville and Of
= large scope Of country which has
100 long been overlooked by the
genius Of enterprise and develop
meut, viii soon have railway facili-
Ties and as a result will blossom as
.the rose.
There have been numerous efforts
made to connect the cities of San
Antonio and Brownsville by rail,
and sometimes the prospects of sue
cess were very encouraging, but each
project was abandoned before anv-
thing substantial had been accom-
plished
There now seems 90 be no doubt
that Brownsville viii have railroad
connection with the outside world
within a little more than 4 year.
Goi. Uriah Lott has got his enter
prise so well under way, with liber-
al help in the way Of donations and
subscriptions and with such sub
stantial backing of capitalists that
there seems to be no doubt that his
road through a rich section of the
country now devoted mainly to the
cattle industry Will be built within
the ti'ae specified IL. the contract, if
those interested in the enterprise
stand loyalty by him. The San An
!. tonic * Arkansas Pass Railway Com
pany has decided to extend its line
from Alice TO Brownsville and must
DO so within two years in order to
comply with its agreement with the
Railroad Commission.
So Brownsville Is promised two
railroads within a comparatively
short time and they will be compet-
ing lines. She viii need them both,
for competition in railroad business
IS Just as helpful to a community as
competition in any other line OF
business. There viii be business
enough for both roads very soon
after they are In operation, for the
country will spur both roads to
greater efforts to serve the public
and in that way serve their own in
teTests.

THE RENO ROBBERY.
An Examination Of the Books SHOW
A Shortage Of over q Thousand
Dollars.

A telegram from Reno to the Enter
prise gives the following particulars Of
how Phillips came to be suspected of the
railroad robbery:
Railroad officials began checking up
the books in the Reno office and found a
shortage in the Office of 81 ,028, and as it
was positively known that there could
not have been more than $500 on hand
the morning the robbery was committed,
suspicion was Immediately directed to
crookedness in the Office. While the
officials were positive that Agent Phillips
was implicated in the robbery, still their
main effort was directed to finding who
his accomplice was, and their efforts were
rewarded in the arrest OF Harry Butts.
Phillips had been gambling, and the
theory OF the officers is that, finding that
he was unable to raise the money to
make good the deficiency in the office, he
conceived the plan Of having himself
robbed and in that way endeavor to
cover his shortage. To aid him in this
scheme he employed one of the best
known characters in the State, Harry
Butts. The plan of the robbery was
neatly arranged and carefully and sue
cessfully executed, and had it not been
possible for Phillips to have shown that
he could have bad 81 ,026 on hand to be
robbed of, everything would have gone
as intended. but unfortunately this show
ing could not be made.
