w. F. Walkers horse livened up
matters a little along upper Water
street, Saturday morning, by running
away. Something startled him near
Swift & Turner's store and he started
at a lively gait for Sand hill. There
were many teams along the street, but
he cleared them, and all went well I'M
til he reached the Farmers Hotel,
when he changed his mind about go
ing home, and made for the side door
of the stable. That was the finish of
the run, for though the horse went in
at the dor all right, the wagon was too
wide and stopped outside with sud-
denness that caused q partial dis
memberment of itself and OF the
harness.

matter, it will come up in some
definite form and new depot
will certainly be ours. But let s
work for it. There's no way to
get anything in this life without
work.
The same may be said of the
Federal building, Congressman
Smith, who had some very enthu-
siastlc opponents in San Angelo
when he was a candidate, has in
PRODUCED a bill in Congress pro-
viding for a building here. We
won't get it by writing para
graphs nor by waiting for some
body else to begin work-we
must do 1t ourselves. If the
Business Club will put the matter
into tangible form and if such
can be done the Press believes the
people will take hold of the mat
ter with interest and do whatever
is expected of them. There must
be some one to lead, however, and
no men or body of men are better
qualified as leaders in this matter
than the Business Club.

THAT FEDERAL BUILDING,
Also the Matter of New Santa Fe
Passenger Depot Considered
by Business Club,

The Press congratulates the
people of San Angelo in having n
business club composed of such
public spirited men as it has.
These gentlemen never lose an
opportunity for advancing the
interests of San Angelo. At the
meeting of a week ago when Mr..
Conway, of the Santa Fe, was
present the question of new
passenger depot was brought up.
That it is needed is a we'll known
, fact. That we will get it now
that the Business Club has made
it one of the objects of its en-
deavors is practically assured.
Mr.. Conway according to report
ed accounts of the meeting said
the only reason we had not got
ten 1T some time ago was because
we had not worked and asked
for it.

your numbers of the Press of the
last three months and see if the
Press has not made this same
statement on more than one oc-
casion, Now that our Business
Club has taken charge of the
