One thing we hear which bodes
good times: Sam Burks is mak-

Democrat, keep his cow up.
Truth Oarlie ie such an "ex-
pansionist" over the Philippine
question that when he got onto
this city /"expansion** business
ie didn t even eat or sleep until
he got things expanded. Now,
then, be finds it very dlfllcult to
toontraet" his cow into a one*
acre lot* and wants to let her
room the streets at will. But
Sam Burks is watching the gen-
tleman and his cow.

As the days go by the pros-
l«eCts for a railroad through West
( ollin grow brighter. The fol-
lowing from the Austin corres-
nt of the Globe Dem
er date of Sept. 18, is s
cant: The Goula lines iii%
are rapidly arranging to tbst
business grounds with the/Hun-
tington system. They propose
to do this by paralleling thol.tol i
ter lines as much as
through North Texas an
to the gulf port at Galv
Their proposition, as devel< .
today,Is to make extentions of
some short lines they own or?
tease in the northern and central
part of the state so as to form a
through line from Ft- Worth to
Galveston via Waco, by which
they hope to divide the trade of
North Texas not only with the
HuUtingtba system, but with
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
also. It-4s announced- that the
