vegetables and fruits and send

ton. All Mexico and Southeastern
business must pass through this
State and here be transferred to
the proper routes of the Yoakum
lines.
San Antonio as the center of
this tributing and colonizihg area
has been an ambition which this
city has long possessed. Whether
the dream will be realized, or
whether the eastern part of the
State will receive the impetus
bound to be given by Yoakum'
is uncertain. The present
state of affairs, with the Trinity &
Brazos Valley finishing in great
leaps and bounds and the Brady
extension still not taken up, puts
San Antonio in a position of wait

the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and &
source of supply from the South
American Republics.
Whether San Antonio will be
one of the division points on this
through line to Mexico is also de-
pendent on the Brady connection.
Otherwise, the tremendous amount
of travel which will go both to the
Republic and to the Southeast will
go by way of Houston and Gal
weston and on out OF the State.
1t will be noticed that in all of
Mr.. Yoakum $ plans the State of
Texas, his place of nativity and
the place where he began his rail
road career, is his chief field of
operations. In Mr.. Yoakum' S
opinion Texas is the battlefield for
railroad development in the near
future.
In connection with his plans to
penetrate Mexico and to get line
into the Southeast are to be noted
the efforts which all of his lines
are making to colonize the South
west. The Brownsville country,
which is the legitimate possession
of the Yoakum-Hawley syndicate
by reason of Yoakum line-the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
is being advertised extensively
by the publications of the Rock
Island and the Frisco.
Yoakum has declared his inten-
ton of colonizing the Southwest.
This is the necessary prerequisite
for the CELEBRATE network of rail-
roads which he will spread over
Texas. Soon the Yoakum spiders
web will rival that of E. H. Har-
riman with his great Sunset.
1t is to Texas that Yoakum
would bring his colonists. 1t is to
Mexico that he would take his
freight and from the Republic
would bring the rich harvests of
the South American continent. It
IS. to New Orleans that he would
go for the Southeastern trade,
which is rapidly disintegrating I'm

YOAKUM'S PLANS IN TEXAS.
This State the Field for Future Activities
of Great RaiIroader's Schemes.

EmulatiDg the great Peter of
Russia, who traced with his finger
the line of the mighty MoscowSt.
Petersburg high road on the map
presented for his approval by the
originators of the plan, and made
a straight course from city to city
regardless of the villages, towns
and even cities which would be
left far to the side, B. F. Yoakum
has drawn a line for the extension
of his great system from the North
Pacific Coast to New Orleans, dis
regarding the Rockies and the
consequent difficulties of construc-
ton and paying small heed to the
cities along the way which may be
left off the line.
Yoakum believes in gigantic
plans and has shown he is reason
ably sure of the accomplishment
of those he undertakes. He works
in detail, but creates i'll the whole.
The northwestern end of his project
is hardly more than declared.
Little work has been done beyond
the contracts which have been let
by the Denver, Yellowstone &
Pacific for building $50 miles
northwest from Denver to Walcott,
Wyo.
Besides the line to New Orleans
and the Southeast, Mr.. Yoakum
has in mind the entrance of Mexico
at the coast near Brownsville.
This will mean, provided he is
able to consummate it, an ultimate
suttiug through the Republic to
