IRON ORE ROAD SOON COMPLETED First Train Dec. 6th-— Ore City to Celebrate. Mining Activities Will Begin at Once. The early completion of the Port Bolivar Iron Ore railroad to the heart of the iron ore beds of East Texas will mark the begin ning of a new era of development in East Texas heretofore not dreamed of. It lias already been marked by the building of a thriving town of several hundred souls, several stores, planing mill and cotton gin, all built and in operation long in advance of the advent of the railway. This town of Ore City, which is to be the concentrating point of the Iron Ore industry to be carried on along modern lines by Th<> Ore City Co. and interests, owning in excess of two hundred million tons of the finest iron ore to be found in the United States. A great washing and crushing plant for refining this ore will be established near Ore City, which when refined, is to be hauled to Port Bolivar, and thence trans shipped by ore carrying vessels directly to the blast furnaces in Pennsylvania. While this is a tremendous step forward in the development of the East Texas Iron Ore deposits and will prove a highly profita ble business, as well as give per manet and lucrative employment to many workmen, its profits will compare as pennies to $10 bills with that to be made when the blast furnaces and rolling mills are erected in the heart of the East Texas iron ore country, as they will ultimately be. The inauguration ana success ful prosecution of this first de velopment work at Ore City means the upbuilding in north east Texas of a great manufac turing metropolis, thickly girted with factories and teeming with life- It means the building of a model city of beautiful homes, substantial business houses,wide streets and shady boulevards, parks and recreation resorts. Ore City is preparing to com memorate the completion of the Iron Ore Railway, with a great celebration on December 12th. On that date special trains will be run over the M. K. it T. and M. & E. T. to the junction of the Iron Ore R. R. and all lines en tering Longview (where the Iron Ore R. R. connects with the Santa Fe, I. & G. N. and T. & P. and especially low round trip rates have been promised. From Longview the crowds will be taken on special trains over the Iron Ore Railway to Ore City. Here they will see a town but a few months old which already numbers fifty odd residences and nearly a dozen business houses and manufacturing industries, with numerous others to be erected as soon as material can bt> hauled in over the newly com pleted line At On; City the visitors will see the nucleus of what is to be a model city in all that the name implies. Broad, well graded streets, which have already been laid off. and business and resi dential lots graded and ready for the structures which will soon adorn them. Here they will find themselves in the midst of an old settled agricultural section, settled by a thrifty set of farmers, each of whom owns and works his own farm. Here is the center of the great fruit belt of East Texas, the home of the Klbeata i teach ami the finest fruit, berry and truck country to be found anywhere. Also im mediately adjoning Ore City are some <>f the finest pine and hard wood forests in the world and already one big corporation is having the ground cleared for i big saw and planing mill, dry kilns and wood working plant The coming of the railroad into this sectiou will mean not alone the development of the iron in Foley Kidney Pills TONIC IN ACTION • QUICK IN RESULTS Give prompt relief from BACKACHE, KIDNKY ar.d BLADDER TROUBLE, RHEUMATISM.

Ore City believes in her future and her people want everyone in Texas to come to Ore City on the 12th of December and see for themselves the wonderful strides the town has made iu the first few months of its existence. A big barbecue and basket <>ic nic will be hold in the shady groves adjoining the town and the visitors will have the inner man amply looked after, and the brass band which meets you at the train will furnish music while you are satisfying your ap petite and quenching your thirst from the nearby springt. Every citizen of Texas inter ested in the welfare and material advancement of this great state should be sure to attend this cel ebration at Ore City, and seethe nucleus of what seems certain to be the next great industrial movement of the entire south west and one which promises to bo far reaching in its beneficial effects.

Of course, there are always interesting little rumors flying around, but Friday afternoon at Miss Arabelle Gibbons' bridge there was a genuine suprise in store for the guests in the an nouncement of the engagement and approaching marriage of Miss Mable Jeanette Clapper and George A.

The Wrongs and How to Remedy Them. In the Sunday papers Judge Ramsey gave to the public tho platform on which he will make the race for governor before the Democratic primary next year. It was all that his most ardent admirers could have wished for -a pajier of high character set ting forth clearly his views uikju public questions and free from demagogic plauditude. There was no sop to any clan or class, but a platform if carried into execution will be good for the whole state. He comes out clearly against the policy of "legislative rest"— the meaningless slogan of the present governor. He claims, and correctly so, that if we have faulty laws, that it will take leg islative action to correct them; and that if we are in need of other laws they should be enact ed. In this respect he says: "I recognize that the govern ment cannot do all for our people that their destiny lios largely in their own hands, und that peo ple and lessons of religion, hon esty, courage, .truthfulness and fidelity must be taught in the church, in tho schools and above all, at tho fireside. But ju.st laws enacted in a spirit of fair ness, justly and fairly enforced, can aid much to promote the in terest of society and achieve the well being of our citizenship. L am not one of those who believe that there remains nothing to be done for the people of Texas ex cept to till the office and spend the mone collected from the peo ple in taxes. 1 am unalterable opposed to a policy of mere negation and to Legislative paralysis and Gov ernmental inactivity. "It would be as idle even if it could be truly stated that we have many foolish and faulty laws to sit down in helples de spair and feebleness and say that we decline to do anything, as it would be for the farmer to aban don his crop and turn out his field, because it was overgrown with weeds and poisoned with brambles and briars." In brief Judge Ramsey favors: I. Adherence to party plat forms. 'J. Opposed to unlimited use of money in elections, and in fa vor of further restrictions thrown around the ballot to pro tect it. 3. A stricter rule in relation to the payment of poll taxes. 4. Laws for the protection of labor, among them and employ ers compensation act. 5. Change in the court pro cedure. G. Favors the resubmission of the prohibition amendment. 7. The regulation of the liquor traffic, removal of the saloons from the residence sections of the cities, limiting their number, increasing the tax, daylight clos ing law, the unbroken package law, prevent drinking on premi ses where sold. H. In favor of nominations by majority vote. 9. A liberal policy toward our schools. 10. The encouragement of ag riculture. II. In favor of the initiative and referendum ami restricted use of the recall. 12. To encourage irrigation and conservation of our natural resources. 1{.
