4 NEW TEXAS RAILROAD

Waco, Texas, March 24,-Another
railroad is to be built in Texas, pro-
posed line to run from this city to
Beaumont. John L. Squirting, an at
torney and railroad builder of Hamil-
ton, has gathered data on the subject
and is en- route East to interest cap
ital in this new road. 1t is also pro-
posed to construct a branch northwest
from point on the Trinity river in
Leon county to Corsicana, a distance
OF seventy-five miles. Arrangements
are being made to lease a stretch of
the Frisco from Beaumont to Sour
Lake to Saratoga, and proposes to buy
a stretch of the Santa Fe from Sara
toga to Bragg, in Hardin county. Also
arrangements are being made for
trackage facilities over the Beaumont
& Great Northern from Livingston, in
Polk county, to Weldon, in Houston
county, a distance of fifty miles; then
will build from that point to Mart, in
McLennan county, and lease trackage
facilities from Waco, thirty-five miles.
The country through, which this road
will run is low and it Is estimated
that the cost OF construction will not
exceed $4,000 per mile.
The road. II built, will traverse one
of the richest agricultural sections of
the state, and would mean much to-
ward the development of the big lum-
Der resources OF Southeast Texas.

on account of the rains. Some plant
ers report corn is rotting in the
ground, which will necessitate re-
planting of the affected area. This re-
planting probably will be in cotton,
causing a greatly increased acreage
than was planned under the crop d.
versification movement this year.
Business conditions in South Texas
are reported to have regained the nor
NAL. Little business failures, due to
conditions in October and November
OF last year, are about over. But one
failure of the first class was reported
for the week. Collections are reported
good, but the vast number of inquiries
coming to the commercial agencies in
Houston are taken to mean business
interests this year are more careful as
to their credits.

an old-fashioned roundup for the
camera. This is one of the very best
advertising features that Fort Worth
could possibly receive, as these pic
lures will be exhibited in every town
on the globe that boasts a picture
show. The scheme was put through by

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS TO
HELP WORK ROADS
Novel Plan of Road Work Devised by
One Thousand Auto Owners
at Spokane.

Spokane, Wash, March 25.-Wil-
liam ID. Vincent, cashier of the Old
National Bank OF Spokane and chair
man of the agricultural committee Of
the washington State Bankers Asso-
citation, is lining up 1000 owners OF
automobiles in this city to drive into
the country on Good Roads Day, April
IL, and fill the ruts and chuck holes
in the public highways. Most of the
drivers will be accompanied by from
one to three laborers and compile
ment of picks and shovels. Frank W..
Guilbert, vice president and secretary
of the Spokane County Good Roads
Association, is assisting in the work
and results are expected.
Mr.. Vincent thinks more real ben
eft will follow the day on the roads
than could be expected from long
program of technical addresses and
good intentions at county or state
meetings. District maps, showing the
condition OF the roads in the territory
tributary to Spokane, are being pre-
pared and will be distributed among
owners of automobiles, SO there will
be no duplication of work. Every
owner will be responsible for the road
assigned to him.

Good Weiaht.

One trick of the trade was taught to
the young butcher by the marketman
who gave him his first employment
The old dealer pointed to trays Of beef,
lamb and pork trimmings beneath the
counter.
when customers ask to have all the
waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their order
be sure to put in few Of these trim
mings BESIDES" he said. Most always
they want the scraps sent home so
they can weigh the whole business and
find out whether they are getting full
weight or not Enough extra pieces
to tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body and will give us a good name.-
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: 'Oh. why don't you trade at
Blank's7 He gives such good meas
ure, often almost an ounce more than
you pay for"

animal, Attack the LUNGS

Watch any flesh eating animal when
It Is attacking Its prey or watch two
animals having a fight to the death.
You will notice one remarkable fact,
and that Is that they strike for the
lungs. Most people. Of course, are
well aware where their own lungs are,
but they haven't the slightest idea
about any other lungs Animals In
stinctively know, however. the posi-.
ton Of the lungs of almost every 9TH
er animal. When tiger or a lion at
tacks man 1t does its best to get
Just below the shoulder blades. If II
strikes without warning you will al
ways find that Its powerful paws have
torn right through to the lungs. A
cat has Just the same instinct. 1t
goes for the lungs-the vital spot
Just the same as its bigger brothers.
Watch 1t stalk sparrow and you will
see how cleverly 1t maneuvers Sc as
to get behind the unfortunate bird
and pounce on Its back, where the
lungs are.-London Graphic.

why Mon Went West.

A hundred years ago the Rev. limo
thy Dwight commented complacently
on the benefit to Connecticut from the
draining away to the frontier-then
western New York-of the restless
spirits who chafed under the rule Of
the old families and the Congregation
al clergy, writes Professor Edward
Alsworth Ross In the Century. 1t new
er occurred to him that these insur-
gent spirits were carrying with them
to the wilderness a precious energy
and initiative. The unprosperous, the
shiftless and the migratory sought the
frontier. to be sure, but the enterpris-
ing, too, were attracted by it The
timorous and cautious stayed and &c
cepted the cramping conditions Of an
old society. but those who dared take
chances, to place a bet on them
selves" were apt to catch the western
fever.

to pass through the row to the trade.
Strawberry receipts are increasing

in strawberries Is about a month and

prices are quoted Fat stuff can be

Lowell has 10000 people, most of
whom trace their ancestry back to
Europe in the first generation via the
steerage. It's name is the most Amer
lean thing about it except the bust
nesslike way in which it makes mil
lionaires. French newspapers in Low.
ell print baseball scores in French,
while the city boasts eleven niles of
power canals and calls itseif the Ven
ice Of America. This is kinder than
it would be to call Venice the Lowell
of Italy.
Lowell is not at all exciting in its
business section. It has no sky
scrapers and business is not c~ongested
except on Saturday night, Lowell has
one of the biggest Saturday nights in
the country. 1t costs less to live in
Lowell than 1t does anywhere else in
America, which is lucky, because few
f it's people carry their wages home in
wheelbarrows. The city has many
parks and plenty Of farm land on all
sides, but most of its workmen still
live in tenements and when the tariff
went up recently the plumbing in the
said tenements didn't improve any.
Lowell has some fine old New Eng
land families, but not enough to infu.
ence its voting For the rest it sounds
on holidays like the Babel building
trades union out for a holiday, and
the storekeeper in Lowell who wants
to succeed must be able to talk $50
words a minute with his hands and
arms.
