The history of the last four years in

termination of the railway companies not

manage the state as well. At this mo-

New York Feb 21-B. F. Yoakum.
chairman OF the executive committees of
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and
the st. Louis & san Francisco railroad
companies, who recently returned from
an extensive trip through the south
west, said yesterday that in his opinion
the southwest was just beginning to de-
Telop as the northwest had developed,
and that this southern movement would
proceed much more rapidly than haG
the one in the north.
TIE winter wheat crop, which, accord
ing to numerous recent reports, was in
a precarious conditiol because of lack
of snow over a large part of the winter
wheat area, Mr.. Yoakum said. was act
ually IN very promising condition, &C
cording to all the reports which ne had
received during his trip.
Mr. Yoakum said that the trains of all
railways from Chicago and the Missis=
sippi and Missouri river gateWays run
thousands of persons seeking new homes
in a comparatively new country. BY way
of illustration, he pointed out Nhat the
trains on his own lines from Chicago
and St. Louis on one homeseekers' day
recently carried more than 5000 persons
bound for the southwest. According to
the estimates made by Mr.. Yoakum,
fully so per cent of these buy home
steads and settle down permanently.
One of the principal causes of the
prosperity of the southwestern farmer,
Mr.. Yoakum said. is the fact that he is
diversifying his crops and therefore is
no longer dependent upon the cotton
crop alone. A vast change has taken
place recently in the financial position
Of the southwestern farmers, he de-
clared. They are row in a position to-
dispose of their crops to advantage in
stead of harvesting only one crop once
a year and turning it all over to the

tfcauy the full value of the crop. For
rnerly If there was any balance in favor
of the farmer it was merely credlted

ORIENTs PLANS IN TEXAS.
Makes Application to Issue Bonds tC
Complete Road.

Ao1AAA3ACtG LhOdu.
Austin. Texas, Feb. 2L-The Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railway took
steps yesterday which are looked llpon
as decisive in the determination to build
across the state Of Texas and com
plete the line from the Port of Topo-
lobampo, Mexico, on the Pacific coast.
to Kansas City, No, and thereby re-
duce the distance on Oriental freight
1000 miles.
Vessels between points in the Orient
and Topolobampo, in connection with
the new road, would save 1000 miles. as
compared to shipments through San
Francisco and the present transconti-
mental lines.
The Orient railway submitted yester-
day formal application, with many nee
essary exhibits, such as right of way
deeds, for authority to issue bonds on
the proposed mileage in Texas, part of
which has been constructed and is in
operation.
1t asks for authority to issue $40. 9S4. 400
in bonds, or on the basis of $50, 600 per
mile for 1892 miles, which are to be
built in Texas
The application recites that according
to the plans of the engineers the road
viii really cost S34s 800 per mile, or
grand total of S1s.e6s. sol. but that it is
desired to now issue bonds only OH
basis of $4,000 per mile.
1t gives a history of the property,
stating that it had acquired the assets
of the old Colorado Valley and the Pan
handle & Gulf, and that it had settled
in full every claim and judgment which
had been outstanding against the Col
Orado Valley.
OF the $40 miles planned, the right Of
way has been acquired for "a per cent,
CT 461 miles. and condemnation proceed
irgs and other arrangements are being
made for the balance.
The application says that I91 miles
have been graded, $50 from Sweet Wa
ter north to Red River, and 81 south
from Sweet Water toward San Angelo,
and that 50 miles have been laid from
Sweet Water to Rule. Haskell county,
So Of which are in operation.
The construction expense to date has
been 1898. 800. The material on hand is
valued at $4,000 Engineering and le
gal expenses have amounted to $500 900.
H. c. Hord. of Sweet Water, general
counsel, submitted the application. The
commissioners engineer will make
report in about 30 days.
