Valley Hallway,
company has engaged the
services of Mr. Murray Harris aa
engineer. Mr. Harris comes
lighly recommended. He has just
isbed surveying a line from
.Abilene to San Angelo. Mr. Har-
ris arrived here on Tuesday oven-
ing and is now engaged in looking
the route. He has a com-
plete ootfit of teams, wagons,
tents and camp ntensils which have
been shipped from Cisco and will
arrive In a few days. H« baa also
a fall compliment of experienced
hands. As soon as the outfit ar-
rives the work of making the sur-
vey will begin, about a month's
time will be required to complete
it. The company will procure
right of way as the survey pro-
gresses, and they expect to com-
mence work when the survey is
finished. Some parties from the
Braaos bottom below Hearne and
between the big and little Brazos
were here yesterday bidding for
the road. There are a number of
very large plantations in the lo-
cality mentioned and tbey need
railway communication very badly
as at presont they have to wagon
from 10 to 15 miles over the very
worst of roads in wet weather.
They offer to give right of way,
grade the road-bed and take $20,-
000 stock in tbe company. The
route has not yet been determined,
but if Hearne is selected as tbo ob-
jective point tbe Brazos will be
crossed at or near Jttoseley's ferry;
if this route is not selected the line
will connect with the International
railway at or near Gause. In this
connection it may be stated that
920,000 will not near cover the ex-
pense of a permanent bridge over
the Brazos. The commencement
of this road will inaugurate a new
era in the progress of Brenham;
when completed to the Interna-
tional we will be in direct connec-
tion with the Gould system and the
connection of our Santa Fe with
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe will give us another independ-
