Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 5.—A record
kept by the Texas Commercla Secretar-
ies and Business Men’s Association on
interurban railroad construction in
Texas during the year 1912, shows
that this class of transportation led its
rivals by a wide margin in percentage
of growth during the year, having con-
structed and placed in operation 85
miles of new line and graded an ad-
ditional 143 miles. The new interur-
ban projects now under course of
construction aggregate 415 miles and
we now have in operation in the state
277 miles.
One mile of interurban line was
built to every two miles of steel rail
on steam roads in Texas in 1912, and
our Interurban mileage increased 214
per cent compared with an increase of
one per cent in steam line mileage dur-
ing the year. In 1911 there were 10 1
miles of steam railway built to each '
mile of interurban. Sixty-three miles ■
of the interurban constructed during
the past year was in north Texas while |
22 miles was in the southern part of i
the state. Twho hundred and twenty-'
eight miles of additional interurban!
lines are under construction in south |
Texas and 217 miles in north Texas. |
Texas has one mile of Interurban
to every 5 1-2 miles of railroad and
14,500 people to every mile of inter-
urban line.

fortunate one securing a box of candy
for the best proposed. Then came the
boys' turn to propose which they did
by telegram. In this Collins Baxter
won a box of candy. Then the match-
ed cut hearts for partners to the din-
ing room. The large west room of
.the house was converted into a dln-
!ing room for the occasion and there
the same gay decorations of pink and
white met the view of the still gayer
revelers. Chicken salad, pickles,
'olives, sandwiches and coffee graced
| th® festal board. The hearts of the
j young people were bubbling over with
fun during the entire evening and they
manifested the same by keeping up
a continual singing of happy songs *
(which added to the merriment. The
valentines brought by the young peo-
ple were auctioned off by Mrs. Jim
Bruce and as the boys and girls re-
ceived them they exchanged them witli
the one they admired the most. Fruit
punch and cake were served by Mrs.
C. W. Pope after which the guests
bade Miss Kain a fond good night.
