of the road and this was taken at
| the time to mean that he had dom
mated the meeting and carried
through his plans. Subsequent
information, however, discloses
that at the time this meeting was
held the road had not been COM
pIeted and service opened into Al
goa and consequently Yoakum had
not completed his contract with
the trust company and had to be
placed once more in the presidency
to fulfill all his obligations. The
disagreement over turning the
road over to Yoakum came only
after this meeting, although at the
time there was the inevitable smoke
which presages the fire.
Another supposed mystery !,
which arose when the gulf coast
line engineers surveyed a route
eight miles across from Algoa to
Dickinson to a connection with the
Galveston, Houston and Hender-
son, IS also explaiuable. The line
was really surveyed, but more
probably as bluff than anything
else. It is stated that at the time it
was not the intention to build this
strip of track but that subsequent
developments may cause it to be
done.
When the Brownsville road was
building and before it ever reached
Algoa, a tentative traffic agreement
was made with the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe to use the latter's
tracks to Houston and Galveston.
When this agreement was made
the makers omitted the important
desideratum of stating the none
tary basis on which the Gulf Coast
line could use the Santa Fe tracks.
After the completion of the Browns
vile road there arose this question,
and it is said that the Santa Fe
wanted to bag" the whole thing
and make the Gulf Coast people
pay a good stiff price for using the
tracks.
The Gulf Coast people refused
to accept the terms and the embryo
traffic agreement came to naught.
It was at this period that the Gulf
Coast line surveyed a route to a.
connection with the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson at Dickin-
son, although it is said that they
never contemplated building the
line.
As a matter of fact, however, the
Brownsville road and the Santa Fe
are not working in harmony at AL
goa, although there are rumors
that the disagreement has been
patched up and the traffic agree
ment may yet go through. This is
strengthened by the fact that the
Gulf Coast road has recently built
a set of three Y's at Algoa, to-
handle cotton and produce of one
road to the other.
With all this, the international
and Great Northern seems to be
bene6tting most from the Browns
vile traffic. The Brownsville road
and tie international are working
in harmony at Angleton and the
laying of additional VS. and other
facilities there indicates that it may
be permanent. If this is so, it will
undoubtedly pay to construct the
short eight miles to Dickinson from
Algoa and thus obtain straight
connection with both Houston and
Galveston.
Going back to Yoakum and his
connection with the Brownsville
road, it may be stated with prac-
tically absolute certainty that IN
less a compromise is effected be-
tween himself and the St. Louis
Union Trust Company with regard
to the bonus lands in the Gulf
Coast country he will withdraw
from all connection with that road.

there was no necessity at this time

had carried New Jersey BY
| two years afterwards the republican
! candidate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as happen
! ed in the case of Judge Fort
AS compared with the elections
| next preceding the last presidential
| election we have done decidedly bet
ter than we did in 1903. Then, as
last Tuesday, Rhode Island and Mary
land went against US; but this year We
have won a sweeping victory in Ken
lucky for the first time since Mckln-
ley'S election. And the NlcloTS III
Massachusetts was also remarkable.
The showing in Pennsylvania and Ne
braska is equally good. The showing
as a whole, was excellent. far better
than was the case prior to the last
presidential election.
THAT the result in Manhattan was
due TO purely local causes is shown by
comparing it with the decisive trl.
umphas in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Alban.|
and in the state generally. The pres
ident's own home county, Nassau
made a better showing than it even
has in an off year. As a whole, tbs
showing has been an improvement
over what it was -four years < ant
