PROPOSED UNION DEPOT

An Eagle reporter was reliably in
formed this morning that a union
depot, long wanted by the citizens of
Bryan. is being discussed and consid-
cred by the railroad officials of both
the Houston & Texas Central and the
international & Great Northern rail
roads. With the law requiring the
building of union stations at certain
places, it would not take much effort
on the part of Bryan to secure such a
station. The railroad officials have at
all times assured Bryan that 1t was
their desire to keep abreast with the
advancement of Bryan and Brazos
county.
The location suggested for the union
station is the site of the brick ware
house, and the only objection from the
railroads point Of view Is the changes
that would have to be made in South
Main street. However. it is believed
by those who have given the matter
careful thought that these changes
can easily be made.

PRACTICAL PLAN FOR
GENERAL PRODUCE MARKET

In the editorial columns of The
Eagle few days ago a suggestion was
made that Bryan needs a market
house where the farmers of Brazos
county could dispose of their products
in any quantity and of any kind. This
was noticed by several of our readers
and since that time an Eagle reporter
has had opportunity to hear express
sions of opinion on the subject by sew
eral citizens.
The matter is not one to be argued,
as even the least interested person
can see the value of such an institu-
ton, both to the town and to the
farmer. In many towns in Texas these
central distributing houses are found.
Such towns become the central mar
ket places for the entire section, and
the assurance that the produce raised
is always in demand not only encour-
ages increased production but also
brings to the town produce of farmers
from distant sections who prefer TO
come a greater distance where there
Ia sure market for their produce.
Beside this it also encourages diversi-
fication with its many advantages, es-
pecially that of the farmers having
something to sell at all times of the
year.
A practical plan for the establish
ment of this business, as gathered
from the different opinions heard by
the reporter, is simply this: For some
enterprising, efficient business man or
capitalist who wishes to invest in a
paying proposition to organize a cor
poration with capital stock of not
less than 10000, put up good build
ing and conduct general wholesale
and retail produce business. Make it
a distributing point for the entire sec
ton and something will then be estab-
lished in Bryan that will be perma-
nent trade getter

DAMAGE SUIT
Woman Claims That Men Who Sold
Liquor to Her Husband Are Re-
sponsble for His Death
While intoxicated.

Spokane, Wash, March S.-Fifty-
four thousand dollars damages is
asked by Mrs. Milla Elmslie in an ac-
ton filed on behalf of herself and eight
minor children against Jimmy Dur
kin. saloonkeeper, and the B. Schade
Brewing Company, who, it is alleged
are responsible for the death of her
husband. The complaint declares Tn
defendants sold and supplied intoxicat-
ing liquors to William Elmslie with
the knowledge it was to be drunk UNI
der circumstances sufficient to lead
them to believe such beer and whisky
would result in intoxication. Elmslie,
a workingman, fell from the third
story of a local beef packing plant
under construction on November 4,
1910, and sustained broken back and
other injuries, which resulted in his
death soon afterward.
