GULF SHORE ROAD.
The Movement Gathers Strength
From Day to Day.
The directors of the Gulf Shore
road are the busiest lot of men in
this southwest. Matters are coming
to a focus and it grows more and
more certain that the road will be
built and that construction will
begin from the San Antonio end of
the line. The committee on solic-
itation in this city is waiting the
issue of certain events which once
determined will leave the matter
in position for positive adjustment
within two weeks.
The propositions for contract
submitted to Capt. Davis were so
far out of the way according to his
ideas that they were at once re-
jected and negotiations by wire
opened with a North Texas con-
tractor who is expected to arrive
before Monday. Should he confirm
by word of mouth what he has al-
ready written the contract will be
given him and in that event three
of the leading business men of the
city guarantee to raise the SKX)-
000 stock subscription within fif-
teen days.
The contractor has been invited
to a conference with Captain Davis
Col. George Brackenridge T. C.
Frost Chas. Hugo and Frank &
Co. and in case of satisfactory in-
terview these gentlemen will in-
terest themselves in securing the
needed subscription which in their
opinion will be done.
Representatives from sections
all along the line are in
the city with propositions
but they dwindle wonderfully
from the reports when put on
paper. There is no doubt that the
interest taken in this project is
just faiily started and that it will
grow until it insures the building
of the road and the opening to the
merchants af this city the magni-
ficent trade of the section lying be-
tween this and the mouth of the
Brazos.
The New South.
Sam Thall manager of “The
New South” company of which

Miss Davies are well known to the
theatre goers of this city for their
excellent performances in “Called
Back” and “Fern Cliff” two years
ago.
