that changes will occur at that time
in the train service to Colome. No

tain that the new order will give Co
lome through train service on at least
one train each way. Preliminary to
the installation of regular passenger
service to this point the new roadbed
between here and Dallas is to be sur
faced with gravel , and a force of eigh
ty men will commence this work next
Monday. It seems to be the present
plan to complete the track surfacing
to Colome before putting down any
ties or rails west of this point. About
twenty-live carloads of ties have been
shipped into the storage yards near
Dallas during the past week , and the
extension work to Winner will pro
ceed rapidly after work in that line is
commenced. All railroad talk is to the
effect that the extension of the road
beyond Winner is a very indefinite
proposition.
