TlZ ISTORY tells us that the battle of Winchester was won by
TO the valor and courage of General Sheridan and the poet
> has given us a graphic description of “Sheridan's Ride/'
as he hurried to the battlefield and saved the day, the battle
having begun with Sheridan twenty miles awjy. The battle for
commercial supremacy is now raging on land and sea. Our
strategic position, our undeveloped resources and our progressive
citizenship makes Texas the battlefield of Twentieth Century
civilization and every man in Texas must ride under whip and spur
to save the day with the Panama Canal less than three years away.
SHERIDAN’S RIDE.
Let those who would wear a laurel wreath of victory answer
the bugle call of progress and rally round the plow and the
hammer; and amid the smoke of industry, the roar of the furnace,'
Ihe rattle of the dinner pails and scream of the factory whistle,
plant the flag of grand old Texas on the parapets of prosperity.
To arms; Forward! March! Texas Needs Great Men.
MORE ABOUT STREET CAR
TRACKS AND PAVING.
Plan Proposed Whereby Track May
be Made Level and Virtually Same
As a Grooved Rail.
Yesterday afternoon the street j
and bridge committee of the city
council and the city engineer met
with *Mr. Hudson of the paving com- J
pany, and Attorney A. B. Cole, who
had assisted in obtaniing the street
car franchise from the city council
for S. A. Robertson, for the purpose
of seeing whether or not the council
should make an effort to stop the
work on the street car lines and
cause the company to use grooved
rails instead of the heavy railroad j
rails which are being laid.
In answer to the statement made
before the council Monday evening
by Mr. Winstedt that the De Bruin
and Stegman franchises called
specifically for grooved rails, Mr.
Cole read tile sections of those Fran
chises relating to the kind of rails
to be used and stated that the sec
tion corresponded almost word for
word with the section in*the Robert-,
son franchise and did not require
the company to use grooved rails.
Mr. Cole said that he was not in 1
the employ of the street car com
pany and that he had never had any
intention of “doing the city” out
of anything. ***«|¥t#
Mr. Hudson of the Creosoted
Wood Block company, expressed the
opinion that the company could
*>ave equally a? well'against the
present rails, and thaT'it could be
done in such a manner as to give
as much satisfatcion as the grooved
rails. •
A drawing was shown the com
mittee illustrating the way each
block will be laid, just touching the
under rim of the rail, if the railroad
rails are used, Tty which it w’as
claimed no crack for the destruction >
of buggy wheels or the aecufhTIIa
tion of dirt would be left. The com-*
mittee appeared to be of the opinitoW
‘ If f!
tha£ the company should T>e per
*
mitted to go ahead with the work.
Later, however, the members of
the committee and Mr. Hudson were
seen by Contractor C. W. Winstedt,
and the matter of laying the track
so as to make it level with the pav
ing was again discussed. Mr. Win
stedt suggested that by laying a
strip of iron, attached to a piece of
timber, which should be creosoted,
just inside the rail, it may be laid
flush with the latter and make the
track almost the same as if the
grooved rails were used. Mr. Win
stedt will submit his plain in detail
to the committee today.
