THE SA.N ANTONIO DAILY EXPRESS: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1908.
NEW ROAD IN]
THE SOUTHWEST
SEEMS CERTAIN
Building of New Line From
Brownsville Will Begin With-
in Thirty Days.
CAPITALISTS WHO ARE
BEHIND THE PROJECT
That a railroad, starting at Brownsville
and extending up through the lower por-
tion of Hidalgo County, with San Antonio
as its objective point, will be in course
of construction within thirty days is
the statement of Judge D. B. Chapin of
Hidalgo County, who is a guest at the
Bexar Hotel.
Mr. Chapin is handling the legal affairs
in connection with the project. It is
backed by the most prominent men in
financial affairs in the several parts of
the State, he says, and will be pushed
through at once.
The backers of the line, according to
Judge Chapin, are R. F. Scott, A. G.
Hubbard, John C. Gibbons, Ralph Speas,
Sarjent Braden, T. J. Van Zandt, Paris;
John Closncr, Hidalgo, and J. M. Johnson
Sr., Mercedes.
"The first twenty-five miles of the line
have Kteen surveyed," said Mr. Chapin.
"The contract for the construction «>t the
first fifteen miles was let last Wednesday
to Sam Robertson of Brownsville, one of
the best known railroad builders of the
State. Jle has instructions to start as
soon as possible and ground will probably
be broken within thirty days.
May Come to San Antonio j
"The construction of the line will start
near the town nf Ebeneezer, in Hidalgo
C ounty,\and the first ground broken will
be adjoiriing the Closner ranch. Railroad
men estimate that the road will cost
about $12,0ii0 a mile, according to the way
ll is planned at present.
"Th» pushing of the line as far up as
San Antonio is yet in an embryonic
stage. The men who are backing the
project have no doubt that it will reach
h"re eventually, though at the present
time nothing hut the line to liidalgo is
certain. On this everything is ironclad.
The money has been subscribed, and in
some instances paid, for the building of
the first fifteen miles. Subscriptions so
far will roach nearly $180,000.
"The building of the line to San Antonio
rests with the business interests of this
town and those elsewhere along the route.
The promoters have no doubt that these
matters can be satisfactorily arranged.
The building of the road is founded on
bonuses and support of various kinds,
and that San Antonio will do its part
there is little doubt.
"It Is hoped to complete the lino be-
tween Brownsville and Hidalgo within six
months. Meanwhile negotiations will he
on for the construction of the northern
end, which would reach San Antonio, and
if the proper arrangements have been
made by that time the completion of the
line can be taken up.
Communicate With Club.
"These gentlemen I have named have
been in constant communication with the
Business Men's Club for the last month.
The club will take hold of the matter in
earnest, beyond doubt. I have heard that
plans are already being made for a can-
vass to secure support in this city and in
the territory at this end.
"One thing is certain, San Antonio
needs such a railroad badly. The freight
from that country is all going in Hons
ton, and will go just as long as the build-
ing of a direct line to this city is held
off. A move was made some time ago to
interest St. Ix>uis capital in the road, but
the very men who were impressed with
the proposition were interested in the St.
Louis and Brownsville road and gave this
idea the colTl shoulder.
"A line of this kind will open up for
Fan Antonio the richest country of the
State. It is said by men of experience
that every acre adjoining tlie line will
mean a carload of freight annually for
shipment.
Will Apply for Charter.
"Application for a charter for this line
will be made Monday and it is expected
the charter will be secured within ten
days. The name for the railroad has not
been decided upon."
Mr. Chapin says that the big project
for the construction of levees along the
Rio Grande to protect Hidalgo County
farm lands is assuming shape. At a re-
cent election on the question of voting
bonds for the construction of forty-five
miles of levees, the question carried by
a strong majority. Engineers are now
at work making an estimate and survey.
Tt is estimated that the construction of
the levees will cost, approximately $340,-
000, No amount was stated in the elec-
tion on the bond issue question, the cost
being unknown and left open. By the
building of the levees more than 300,000
acres of land which has been subject'to
Inundation will be protected from high
water. Four years ntro, according to Mr
Chapin. between $8,000,000 and $10.000*,000
worth of crops was lost by floods in that
district.
Mr. Chapin. with John Closner of Hi-
dalgo, has lust purchased 24.000 acres of
land near Ebeneezer. which will be made
into an irrigation ranch. He will remain
over Sunday here, arranging some legal
matters in connection with the railroad
find will probably meet with the Business
Men's Club before his return to Hidalgo
ADOPT PLAN FOR
OITCK RELEASE OF
RAILROAD CARS
Cotton Men Will Give Bond in
Order to Avoid Delays
at Compresses.
HEAVY SHIPMENTS
EXPECTED THIS YEAR
Will Take Over Steamship Line.
Special Telegram to The Express.
GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. S.—1Th* Wol-
vin Steamship Company of Texas City
will, on September 1, take over the New
Orleans end of the Mexican-American
Line. Last spring the Galveston com
pany purchased the Texa:< connection of
the line. ^ The Mexican-American oper-
ates to \ era Cruz and Tarn pi co. Th<
American ports are: Galveston
Arthur and New Orleans.
In view of the anticipation of an un-
usually heavy cotton movement through
San Antonio this season there was a
meeting of tlie local cotton buyers and
representatives of out of the State con-
cerns at the San Antonio Cotton Ex-
change yesterday afternoon. The purpose
of the meeting was to devise ways to in-
sure promptness in supplying tars and
to expedite the handling ot the crop,
which it is estimated by members of
the local exchange, will he the largest
in the history of this section of Texas.
A. Cohen acted as ^chairman of the
meeting. After some discussion as to
what method could be adapted to unload
cotton at once without waiting for the
bill of lading, and thus releasing tie-
cars in ord< r that tli<y might be again
put immediately in the service, a bond
system was adooted.
Under the new agreement each concern
will make an individual bond covering
the value of the amount of cotton shipped
to him, and the railroads will release ;t
without the presentation of the bill of
lading and it can be unloaded and deliv-
ered to the compress at once. This will
avoid delay and at tin- same time imme-
diately release the car and place it back
in service. Under the old system cars
had to stand in the yards some times for
days awaiting release.
Those present at the meeting were F.
Voclkcr of the Southern Pacific and Mis-
souri. Kansas & Texas, E. I'. Johnson of
the San Antonio & Aransas Pass, and
XV. L. Holder of the International &
(Jreat Northern and the following repre-
sentatives of cotton firms: XV. B. Clark-
son and Ed. Goldstein of T. II. Clarkson
<6 Co.. m. Mcintosh of Allgeyel & < <»..
XV. <'. Manlove, J. M Woodson of Mar-
shall Bulley «•£• S"tis. A. D Cohen, Thom-
as i >. Glover of N. P. Nagle & Co., B. P.
Jerslg of E, P. .Tersig & Co., A. X. Tvan-
cick of Henry Ferri-k & Co., Nat I'avis,
an Independent buyer, and Secretary
John O'Malley of the San Antonio Cot-
ton Exchange.
In former years the movement of cot-
ion tlurough the San Antonio market has
fluctuated from 50.000 to 10"»,000 bales, but
this year the majority of the cotton men
are expecting at least 12.",000 bales, which
will he the larcest on record, and for this
reason a meeting was called in order to
devise some manner in which to hand'e
th« crop promptly and Insure a • 'i: -
cient number of cars to handle it without
delay.

substituted. The pilot of the engine was
wrecked and the train delayed an hour

TO ABOLISH CITY GOVERNMENT.
Petition Being Circulated at Wharton.
Displeased at Raise in Valuation.
Special Telegram to The Express.
WHARTON. Tex., Aug. V-Th# Board
of Equalization for the city of Wharton,
having raised the valuations of practical-
ly all of the property situated within the
rorporate limits, numerous complaints
have been registered, protesting against
the so-termed exorbitant valuations.
A petition is now being circulated with
the attempt to get the required number
of signers for ordering an election to
abolish the city'government. The futil-
ity of the movement to abolish is con-
ceded, however, when it Is necessary to
get a two-thirds majority, and, as the
town has progressed so rapidly during
the past two years, it is not probable
that a movement to abolish will reeeivo
the support of the business element.

ALPINE. Tex., Aug. 9.—While a well
was being boreri in the A. S. Gage pas-
ture, eight miles from Marathon, in this
county, the drill pierced a gas pocket at
a depth of sixty feet, and so much oil
was encountered that the well had to bo
abandoned for water purposes.
There is much interest manifested
locally In the find, but no excitement,

There have been some quiet but very
busy times at Alamo Heights for the
past few weeks. A corps of engineers
have been working overtime to complete
a resubdivision of the property. The
main part of tho work is completed and
the map of the subdivision as it appears
today is very attractive. The little 2.1
foot lots have vanished, and in their
place appear building sites of ample pro-
portions, big enough for a good, big
house and some breathing space around.
Mr. George and his associates lived in
the country during part of their early
youth, where they became enamored of
the "plenty of elbow room" doctrine.
Many of the crooks and corners noticed
on the old map, which caused a resident
to get the sun on all four sides in reach-
ing home, have been eliminated. Curved
streets may look pretty on paper, but
are decidedly inconvenient in actual ex-
istence. This exceedingly desirable home-
site property will soon be placed on tho
market and home owners given a chance
to live where the breeze blows strong
and the perpetual overhanging foliage
keeps the sun at a distance. Many im-
provements have already been inaugur-
ated, and the work has just been started.
Alamo Heights will prove a monument
of everlasting credit to Clifton George,
Major Moberly and associates.
