POSSIBILITIES OF
THE LOTT RAILROAD
MAY Conclude to Pierce the Coal Fields
Higher Up the River and Annex
Laredo.

The story as to the plans of the
Lott Road published in yesterday
San Antonio Express is extremely
interesting to the people of this
city. It is asserted that the recent
meeting of Mr.. B. F. Yoakum OF
the Frisco and Vice President
Trice of the International &
CIR; at Northern was for the
purpose of forming traffic
arrangement whereby the Lott
Road would use the tracks of the
1. & G.. N. upon which to get into
San Antonio. The Lott Road has
suddenly decided to build the
Hidalgo extension and when this
is completed the road will be still
further extended up the Rio Grande
valley to Laredo where it will con-
meet with the 1. & G.. n. As has
been so often pointed out by the
Times, the territory adjacent to the
border stream will prove the great
est tonnage producing territory in
this entire section of Texas. The
lands are extremely productive and
the river furnishes ample water for
irrigation. Within a short time
after transportation facilities were
provided the entire section along
the Rio Grande would become one
vast truck garden and a first class
line of railway would find its hands
full in handling the products of this
prolific region. And then, too,
there is always the item of fuel
the great coal measures at Camel
and the properties of the Rio Grande
Coal Company on the river. Am
pie fuel at minimum price would
be in easy reach of not only the
Lott Road, but the great Frisco
system. The coal fields on the
border are extensive and only the
surface has been scratched by the
two companies now operating here
Laredo should keep her eyes wide
open to the possibilities of this road

the irony ;conveyedsby the suggestion is
obvious. National interests would be bet
ter subserved If the representations from
all the states were reduced by half.
Clearly, also, as stated in your editorial,
national interests. ought to engross the
mind and constitute the chief work of a
national legislator. Yur suggestion that
another bureau Of small retail robbers en-
gagged solely in looting the federal treas
ury should be added to the wholesale co.

most of this local business of congress-
men in creating new. positions, increas-
Ing salaries, or causing useless expendit-
ures on so-called public jobs, is but an
embezzlement Of his employers funds,
which he is sworn to protect. Until

society as to make it impossible for a man
to acquire public position for the purpose

The Expert Water Commission.

The promptness with which the
water committee Of the city council
have acted upon the suggestion that
a commission be created to study and
report upon the best plan to purify
our water supply is commendable and
encouraging as to speedy correction
of the present unsatisfactory situation.
The water committee have selected
five names which they will recon-
mend to the council for appointment
tomorrow night. These names are:
The city engineer, Mr.. Rinker; the
former city engineer. Mr.. Cappelen,
who built the reservoir; Professor
Bass, sanitary engineer Of the univer-
sity faculty; DR.. Bracken, secretary Of
the state board Of health, and Mr..
Hazen, the celebrated sanitary en-
gineer Of New York, whose reputation
commends him to the approval Of all
who are especially interested in this
matter.
The Journal has no fault to
find with this commission as 1t is made
up. AS far as we are acquainted with
the qualifications of these gentlemen
the selections have been wisely made.
We feel like venturing the remark,
however, that we are surprised to flnd
that the local health department Is
It seems singular omission, and may
possibly be only an oversight. IF SO,
it can easily be corrected.
It seems to us that If this were a
business proposition, handled purely
in a business way, the department Of
the business which had to deal with
the matter in hand directly, as the
health department Of the city has to
deal with tho character Of the water
supply, would be recognized and taken
account of. When the improvements
are made and the changes are all &C
brought about under the advice of this
commission, it will be the local health
department which will have to work
with whatever improved conditions
are established, and we can hardly
conceive of an undertaking Of this
kind going thru in a private business
establishment with the department OF
the business most directly concerned,
and the one to be held responsible for
| conditions afterward, totally ignored
| in the establishment Of those condi-
| tons. T. '-...a.'
If any petty Jealousies or personal
rivalries, or If politics has commenced
to show its head in this affair at this
early stage, we don't believe the
proposition can be stated too strongly
that the public will not "stand for
anything Of that kind. .<5''.1 -i'- @

Another Novel With "Love for Another
usual Number Of That Sort This Spring
"A Great Trust OF Trusts eupp's Por-.
trait Sketch OF the President.

What might be called a sociological un-
easiness has afflicted the chair in reading
several recent stories dealing with the
world-old motive, love. The latest OF
these stories is The Great Adventurer,
by Robert Shackleton. The great ad-
venturer'' is Newbury Linn, who builds
up a monster trust which swallows other
trusts, much as big fish gulps down min
noWs. Despite the duties devolving upon
him as head Of so Titanic an enterprise,
Linn has time to fall in love and to pros
ecute his suit. The woman in the case,
according Sto the author and Linn and
several other characters in the story, is
a paragon Of charm, loneliness and good
ness, and, besides, is-the wife Of an
other man. It is true she has lived apart
from her husband was even granted
decree Of divorce. which was later an
nulled, but this chair Is old-fashioned
enough to find it difficult to reconcile
her fine womanllness, her modesty, all
that generations of honorable ancestry
had implanted with a scene like the fol-
lowing described in the same chapter,
Linn speaking first:
81 love you Katherine. I love you, and you
shall be mine"
Before his splendid arrogance all her intended
austerity slipped away. '.Do you mean it.,
Newbury? That was ALL and she could not
even feel ashamed that her pride had so de-
"Mean it!'' He put his arms about her and
gently kissed her, and with a lingering caress.
"You shall be mine!'
It is not the failure to reconcile the
attributes described and this scene, which
was intended to be affecting, that causes
the uneasiness alluded to. It is, tho, the
