THE FIGHT FOR
MAIL CONTRACTS
Creating Interest Over the State.
What the Houston Chronicle
Says About 1t.

The big fight for the mail contracts
now being waged by the railroads is
creating interest throughout the state.
Speaking of the vsIue of these con-
tracts to road, the Houston Chroni.
Gle says:
After the railroads get through fight
ing for mail carrying business the gov
eminent will then begin its qusdran-
usl weighing of mails. This will be
taken up the latter part of February or
[ first part of March aud will last for
six weeks. During that period every
point throughout the country that re-
ceives and discharges mail will make
daily weighings of it. The daily aver
age for the six weeks will then be
reckoned and it will form the basis on
which the mail carrying roads will be
paid for the next four years.
The basis of pay for the carrying OF
mail by the railroads is fixed by an en-
sctment of congress and is as follows
applying to each route:
For 200 pounds, 81 %; for 500 pounds
.S64 10; 1000 pounds, SOS 40; 1000 to
$500 pounds, SIPS %; 5000 to 5000
s14s So; for each 200 pounds over 5000
an additional allowance of S2I.37 is
made. The pay to the land grant
roads is about 20 per cent less.
The system is down to a very nice
basis and after the mailing tests are
over it may then be easily figured
what road will receive for carrying
the mail to any given point.
The vast amount OF mail hauled is
not readily comprehended. For in
stance, it was observed at the Grand
Central depot in this city that six
trucks of mail matter were transferred
to one single train.

BR0WNWOOD
NOW HAS GAS
Plant Put In Under the McGold-
rick Franchise.-Work Began
Only Three Weeks Ago.

McGoldriek, who secured the fran
chise for gas plant for Palestine, has
been out to Brentwood on the same
mission, and a company is now in
stalIing plant in that city. Speaking
of the work, a telegram from Brown
wood says:
Brentwood can now boast Of having
a first-clsss gas plant. 1t is beyond
the talking question and the gas was
turned on Saturday evening. A large
street light attracted considerable at
tention Saturday night in front of the
Boyson Power and Light Compsny's
plant which, upon investigation.
proved to be the initiation of gas in
Brentwood. In addition to the street
light the building was lighted also and
a number of stoves burning to show
the people just how they worked and
as an advertisement. The gas mains
have been laid through the business
part of town and will be spread rapid
ly over the residence portion. The
people were surprised that gas was
secured so SOON and could hardly
realize that it was actually ready for
use, as the work was begun only three
weeks ago. The plant is being put in
by the Boyson Power and Light Com
pauy under the McGoldrick franchise,
who is working for the Federal Gas
Company OF st. Louis. MIR. s. E.
Whitesides of Corsicans, who is pres
ident of the company, is here super
intending the work.

Closing Out Sale.

The big closing out sale being con-
Quoted by Graham Bros, and which
began this morning, has brought the
people out in large numbers, and the
store has been crowded. This will
undoubtedly be great sale. The peo-
pie generally regret very much that it
means the retirement of this firm
from the Palestine field.
