WILL MIDLAND HELP
IN A GREAT PR0JEC1?
...........................................Hum.......................................
For some time past Kl Ha*
papers have been urging the im-
portance of the rehabitation of
the Midland A Northwestern
railroad, winning from Midland
to Seminole, and which ceased
operations some two years or
more ago: and also the closing of
the gap, 16 miles, between Hem-
mole and Heagraves Perhaps
♦ he M A N. W , running only to
Seminole, may not have been of
great benefit to Midland; even it
may have been a detriment to
our trade, but with a shortened
, outlet to the markets north,
Kansas City, St Louis, ami other
iKiints, such as would be given
|by tiie plans advocated by Kl
Paso, no one could question the
•jenefits that would accrue to'
Midland and neighboring com-
mbnitie*.
The Reporter has dwelt on
this subject previously and at
lengtli, but the following is from
the ediU rialcolumns of the Kl
Paso Herald of last Sunday:
It does not mean very much to)
sav that there is talk of the Mid
land A Northwestern railroad re
suming operation. Hut when
you say plans are under consid-
eration for bringing the great)
Piaius Country twice as close to;

way fur a larger volume of traf

Lubbock, and Lubbock is the
hub of a vertltable wheel of rail-
roads penetratiug every part of
the Piaius Couulry.
When that shot link is built
and the .Midlaud line is agaiu in
