4 HALF MILLION
To he Expended in Wharves aud
Warehouses at vclasco.

Within the next few years the ag-
gregate expenditures of the Houston
and Brazos Valley railroad in whar-
YES and warehouses at Velasco will
equal approximately 100000, ac-
cordinS to plans natured at meet
ing of the directors OF the road held
in the offices of President D. T. Bo-
mar in Fort Worth Monday.
Lumber and other material are
already on the ground for the COM
mencement of the wharf work, and
big warehouse has just been COM
pleted. The plan is to develop Velas-
co into a big and important gulf port
and large sums are therefore to be
spent in wharves, as was recently
exclusively stated in the Post. B. F.
Yoakum has acquired the control of
the road and will aid President Bo-
mar in financing the improvements
to be made
Work of extending the road from
Anchor north is now under way, an,
several large crews are pushing tn
work. 1t is stated that the extensio
100 miles to Hampstead, up tt
Brazos Valley, will be made withol
fntermissfon.
Vice President and General Mar
ager Felix Jackson asserts that tn
road will be one Of the most impor
tant links in South Texas. 1t will
penetrate what is known as the
great sugar bowl of Texas, and will
draw an enormous tonnage from
that industry Sugar cane, it is
known, furnishes more tonnage to
the acre than any other product.
| Extended to Hampstead, the road
will then cross the Brownsville line,
International and Great Northern,
Santa Fe, Galveston, Harrisburg and
San Antonio, San Antonio and Aran-
sas Pass, Missouri, Kansas ana
! Texas and the Houston and Texas
Central, giving connection with
these big trunk lines. Entrance to
Houston will likely be effected
through trackage arrangements with
one of the roads, and here the line
will connect with the Trinity ana
Brazos Valley, Colorado Southern
and New Orleans and the Browns
Vile line. all Yoakum interests
