THE OUTLOOK.
The outlook for the people of Mills
county as a whole was never brighter
or more promising than at this time.
The people here are in prosperous
circumstances and the man without
bank account is the exception
rather than the rule. Most farmers
have plenty ' of feed stuff without
buying more until the next crop
comes in. The cattle have wintered
well so far and are in good condition
to enter the colder months of the
year. There is sufficient pasture to
carry the stock through without feed,
except in a few cases. The rains
have put a good season in the ground
and many farmers have already
turned their land, getting ready for
sowing time. The oats are looking
fine and what wheat has been planted
is doing well, although the wheat
acreage in this county is small.
The business interests are in good
condition and our merchants have
made fairly good collections and
none of them have suffered from a
financial depression, but will be able
to continue to extend accomodations
to their customers and meet their
obligations.
The four banks of the county have
large deposit accounts, showing that
the general public has money and is
not needing assistance in any way.
The people who desire employment
can find all they want to do at
remunerative wages and those who
have investments have received
reasonable returns therefrom.
There is no class of people and no
interests that can not show ai reason-
able amount of prosperity and the
outlook for Mills county and hex-
people is indeed encouraging.

WRECK AT LAMPASAS.
The passenger east-bound train was
wrecked at the crossing of Burleson
creek a few hundred yards from the
depot, Christmas morning at about
10:30. The wreck was caused by
what railroad men call a “split
switch,” the small trucks in front of
the engine, failing to take the proper
rails at the junction of the Y, and
the drive wheels pulling the track
around, throwing the engine on its
side. The engineer and fireman
jumped from their respective po-
sitions, and fortunately were not
seriously injured, the worst features
being that they were each slightly
scalded by escaping steam.
The train 'was going slowly and the
death of the engine stopped it im-
mediately, and not a passenger was
injured, though some of them were
jolted.
Men were put to work immediately
to clear away the wrcek, and extra
engines soon arrived, and the pas-
senger train was taken to Temple on
its journey soon after the accident,
the express car, which was partly
off the track, remaining here. This
was removed later, and trains have
been running as usual, though they
cannot yfet come to the depot, and
it will probably be Friday before the
track vail he fit for traffic.
The worst feature of the wreck wa
an accident which happened about
9 o’clock at night while the wrecker
was at work. T. E. Shipp, one of
the laborers, was on the tank which
carried the oil and water, and a
chain broke, precipitating him to the
ground, and he struck on his head
and back in such a way as to ren-
der him unconscious. He was taken
at once to the hospital at Temple, Dr
Joe E. Dildy accompanying him, and
reports Thursday morning say that
he was still unconscious, and his re-
covery doubtful.
The wreck attracted a great crowd
from the city and country and many
remained to see the work of the
wrecker, which picks up tons of steel
and handles them with ease.
The damage to the engine is the
worst part of the wreck, and it can
be easily and quickly repaired.—Lam-
pasas Leader.
COMPETITION RULES IN
RATES.
Density of Traffic a Powerful
Factor—Stock and Bond
Issue not Considered.
Competition is the most power-
ful factor known in rate making. It
recognizes the mandates of nx
court; it quickly tears to pieces tlix
well balanced tariff sheets of ever)
common carrier that comes undex
its influence and .all other elements
that enter into rate making yield tc
its power. The following map gives
a practical illustration of the effecj
of competition in rate making ic
Texas:
DALLAS
OUSTOJf
i: G.C.&S.F. 2: M.K.&T. 3: T.&B.V. 4= H.&T.C.
There are four direct lines of rail-
road running between Dallas and
Houston. The stock and bond is-
sues on these lines vary from $29,-
103 to $45,022 per mile. The value
of these properties according to the
Railroad Commission's estimate
vaty from $15,686 to $29,932 per
mile. The assessed values var)
from $17,863 to $32,399 per mile.
The amount expended upon them b)
the owners varies from $30,000 te
$60,000 per mile; the density oi
population and traffic is more widelj
at variance; the railroad mileage
varies from 249 to 367 miles, yet th«
rate from Dallas to Houston via
all lines is the same.
The most potential element nexl
in importance to competition in rate
making is density of traffic. It is f
far more agreeable personality that
any of its associates among the rate
making powers. It enjoys the dis-
tinction of being the only influence
that is able to reduce rates withoul
decreasing the earnings and is a wel-
comed gue^t to both shipper and Car-
rier. f
Efforts have been made by th«
legislatures to use the stdbk and
bond issues as a basis for rate mak-
ing, but these factors have been ig-
nored by custom and denied recog-
nition by the courts.

J. T. McCarson’s residence in Lo-
meta was destroyed by fire Christ-
mas morning about 8 o’clock and Mr.
McCarson estimates the loss at
$6000, with half that amouixt of in-
surance on the building and contents.
Only a small amount of the furniture
was saved. The fire originated in
the upper story while the family was
downstairs at breakfast and it is
supposed to have caught from the
chimney.
