/ As a number OF surveys have been
made By the International and
Great Northern railroad to Dallas
the following from the Dallas Times
Herald will be read siih local Ia
| terest
President W. c. Connor of the
! Dallas Terminal Railway and Union
| Depot company has been having a
good time in Europe all this sum
mer lie visited the land where
there are Connors and O'Connors In
abundance. Then he skinned over
| Scotland. England and Wales and
| afterward went 10 the continent, He
, has made several trips across the
| Atlantic but has written home that
| he never enjoyed any of them as
much as he has his 1907 vacation.
| Mr. Connor is expected home soon
I and then. 1t is known. he will begin
| business more actively than ever. He
has seen much of President b. +.
Ioakum this season and. no doubt,
( has talked with him about Texas
railroad affairs in general and Dali
| las railroad affairs In particular.
/ These affairs include the extension
of the Frisco into Dallas and the
building of a magnificent union de-
, pot in this city. both being Of deep
local interest and significance.
1t is reliably stated that soon af-
Mr.. Yoakum will have business that
will bring him to Texas and to Dali
| las. Then the matters named above
| will doubtless be discussed again
! and, it is believed, brought to a fit
ting and successful understanding.
! 1t is confidently expected that the
the city of Dallas over it's own rails
and that the Gould interests will
before long make the International
and Great Northern a Dallas line.
When these two great lines become
adjuncts to Dallas development and
Dallas becomes an important feeder
to til = eyenues 1t is considered alb
soluteT Ntn Chat a magnificent
union sa,o sv Ta1 WIN be constructed
MrAazeI, Nothas been quietly bu
effectit name i}york on these propo
sition1I III everal years and he ex
poets to show more energetic enthu
siasm in connection with them thi
fall than in all the months he ha!
been planning dhd devising to &C
complish their fruition.
1t is known positively that orders
were once issued by the Yoakum in
terests for the building OF the Fris-
co into Dallas A like order was once
given by the Goulds to the Interna
tional and Great Northern manage
ment But New York's little world of
/ finance is fearfully and wonderfully
/ made One wheel failed TO work
| properly in another and these orders
! were. If not actually countermanded
I allowed 10 go by default. But the ex-
| pectation now is that they will be re-
issued and there is good reason for
expecting this TO occur.
The execution OF these orders
would. Of course. mean much 90 this
city n would also mean a whole lot
of revenue for the roads named. II is
this latter idea that will cause the
Issuance OF instructions 20 engineers

Great Northern has been surveyed
but i' may be that others will be
made Anyway. the necessary "tsps
20 connect both roads are short ones
and could tc constructed in short
