The Railroad.
In the railroad department of
the daily Dallas News of last
Saturday we find the following:
"Within the next few days
some aenrme iuiui uiaiiun jci-
ainingtothe Santa Fe exten
sion from the Lampasas branch
to a connection with the main
line may be had General
Superintendent F. G. Pettibone
is due in that section of the
country as soon as he completes
an inspection of the road proper
ties in the Territory and it is
presumed that his visit to the
branch has something to do
with the matter.
"From an official source it is
learned that while all officials
save a favored few are in the
dark as to the line such exten-
sion will follow the indications
are that Coleman will be the
starting poiut and not San An-
gelo and that "it is not at all
certain that the road will follow
the cheapest survey" by which
il seems that a route has been
chosen that includes some engi
neering difficulties.
'San Angelo people have been
heard to express doubt as to
their city being selected as a
starting point forthis extension
and it now seems certain that
their fears are well grounded."
This evidently pertains to the
"Amarillo & Southern" and is
on a little better basis than
some reports that we have been
getting.
It is also reported upon fair
authority that two car loads of
wheel scrapers were sidetracked
at Abilene Friday for purpose
ot grading in that vicinity com-
ing this way.
Sunday evening James F. Beav
er was Dy Justice J. 1. rarKs
lawfully wedded to Mrs. Claudie
Lovelace. Mr. Beaver is associated
with J. S. Harrison in the black-
smith business attheSlover & May
shop. He is a nice young fellow
with a lot of "get-up and git-there"
in his make up and is bound to suc
ceed in life provided he sticks to
one thing long enough. His wife
is well and favorably known here
and is well worthy of even a better
man than Beaver. The News
with many other friends wishes
them smooth sailing through life.
