MORE ABOUT THE RAILROAD.

A special dispatch from Chicago,
under date of last Saturday, to the
Dallas News gives the following:
"The great increase in immigration
to the Southwest has caused the
Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad to plan the construction of
a new line of road from Canyon
City, on the Panhandle line in Tex
as, to Plainview, a point in the
heart of the cattle country. The
new line will be about 100 miles
long, and work will soon be started,

CONVENTION NOTES.
Some sixty Democrats were
present and considerable inter
est was taken, especially in the
contest for Representative, and
in the choice of a county execu.
tive committee. On this last
mentioned question the idea
seemed to be to get a committee
that not only favored party or.
ganization but was also in line
for a Democratic ticket all the
way from precinct up in the
campaign two years hence, and

the result is an influx of homeSeek-

The Amarillo Herald of the same
date under the heading of "That

"From a letter received by B. T.

More Railway Specula ton.
1t is doubtful whether or not
any body knows for certain just
where the road going South will
start from and these doubts NAV
even be extended to the fact as
TO its going at all for sometime
yet. Its going now as well as
the manner in which it VIII 90,
providing it starts, depends up
on so many things yet to come
into being that in high as well
as in low places, at the present
time, it is purely a matter Of
speculation or conjecture. This
fund of speculation is growing
from day to day and in it you
can find food TO suit the taste of .
almost anybody. Contributing
its part to this growing pool of
railroad wisdom the daily Dial
las News of Tuesday, says edi-
torily:
1.-The Santa Fe Railroad will
build from Canyon City TO Plain
view in Hale County. That cen
trail plains country is worth go
ing after. With railroad facili-
ties great developments are sure
to follow. Doubtless the new
line will eventually be extended
southwark to the western termi-
nus of the Gulf division of the
Santa Fe-San Angelo-inter-
.ecting the Texas and Pacific at
Big Springs, or therea bouts.
