WILL EXTEND TO WACO

Texas Midland Will Build Seventy
Miles From Terrell.

       Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 24.--Surveys have been made, a route selected and work of extending the Texas Midland railroad from Ennis to Waco, a distance of seventy miles, will commence soon, according to information obtained from authentic sources.
       Mrs. Hetty Green of New York owns the Texas Midland, and E. H. R. Green of Terrell and Dallas is president and active in the management of the road.  Stringent money markets do not disturb them, and there will be no need to borrow money or issue bonds to construct the seventy-mile extension.  Mrs. Green is the reputed richest woman in the world.
       That grading for the extension will commence within the next few months in the announcement emanating from sources possessing accurate information.  The exact route selected is not made known, except that the general outline calls for the bisection of the untraveled counties, splitting the section lying between other railroads.
