leaders for withdrawal of the regular
troops from the Ruhr district and for

1t is freely admitted that the action

TO BUILD A line.
INCIDENTALLY.
West Texas Railroad Extend
ing to Del Rio With That
Plan in View, Report

About six months ago The Herald
published a report that the Mexican
government had granted a concessions
to a syndicate composed Of capitalists
interested in the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient railway for line of rail
road from Matamoros TO Tampico.
Efforts TO confirm the report Of the
granting of this concession could not
be alfred at that time, although in
formation was sought direct from the
interior department at Mexico City.
Interest in this report is revived,
however, with reports published IN
San Antonio newspapers that the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient, which
now operates short line Of railroad
with the southern terminus at San
Angelo, Tom Green county, is plan
ming to extend its line south from
San Angelo to Del Rio, with the ulti-
mate intention Of building down the
Rio Grande into the Lower Valley
and on to Point Isabel.
Efforts are being made i'm local
quarters to confirm, as far as posi-
Bile, the reports Of this projected ex-
tension
The X. c., M. & O. has been under
construction for some years, during
most Of which time it has been in re-
ceivership. The extension from San
Angelo To the border at Del Rio has
been contemplated for more than ten
years and is even shown on many
maps issued some years ago. This
railroad has railroad concessions in
the state of chihuahua, Mexico, oper-
ates several short lines i'm Northwest
Texas and between there and Kansas
City. the ultimate intention of the
company being to connect all the lines
for a trunk line.
The reports of the proposed extern
sions to the border at Del Rio and
thence down the Rio Grande have ere
ated much interest in the Valley, due
to the agitation now under way for
a second railroad outlet for this sec
tion. However, due to the fact that
this line would not strike for the in
terror for nearly 400 miles west Of
the lower border, there is some ques-
tion as TO whether it would directly
solve the railroad problem in the
Lower Valley. Del Rio is about 400
miles west of Brownsville and San
Angelo is about l50 miles due north
from Del Rio. The proposed road
would traverse more unsettled terri
tory, probably than any other rail
road in the state, with the possible
exception of the Southern Pacific.
