Tha Katy Railway Is not to bo
thought of ss getting in the rear in
anything when it comes to improv-
ing. Like the Valley that road is
paving right along. It is not “scab-
bing” on the paving as one employee
puts it,, though we are not up enough
on “scabology” to tell exactly what he
means by that.

item about the Katy. Before the ar
rival of the June bugs, perhaps, or
not later than when the leaves begin
to fall, the Katy will have eighty-five
pound rail* on all the road from here
VWaco. when so E. L. Howard, the
Freight agent here tefl us, Jthere
will be some tightening up on sched-
MMuui the. like aroun dhfidL Af ««
have It from another source—Ed
Howard doe* not claim to ma
schedules on the road—you may get
on the Kr.ty here st 7 a. m. and be
in Waco easily st 2«30 p. m. The dis-
tance is exactly 227 miles. Of course,
on a push, they can go faster than
that, and as they get more into the
new deal they will run faster, too.
But for the start it is intimated that
thirty miles an hour will be about
the time they will make, which means
they will be skipping along about
fifty at some points, sometimes, for
the thirty is intimated to be the
schedule time. The Katy has about 33
miles an hour schedule or better on
the line from Wichita Falls to Deni-
son. and this route is much better
for fast running, if the road bed and
rails are right.

Meeting of Library Board
The Library Board held its annual
meeting and the election of officers
ly swore in the gruna jury and gave
them a charge that lasted for almost
an* hoar and all kinds of law viola-
tions were numerated to them.
The grand jury then retired and
began work. It is reported that a
large number of witnesses have been
called before this body.
This term will no doubt be the
biggest in the history of the coun
ty and the entire six weeks will be
consumed. There are about five
for cases on the docket and the
grand jury is expected to return no
Jess than two more.
The Forrester murder case, which
was transferred here from Fisher
County was supposed to come up next
week but has been postponed.
The W. P. Ulmer rape case which
was tried at the last term of court
and resulted in a hung-jury, is due
to go to trial next week, January
11th. There are two cases pending
against Ulmer, one for rape and one
for incest,
