According to information roachlng
the News the middle of this week tho
plans for the Durant Union Depot
will bo filed ftlth th
Commission somo tlm
ordered by thnt body several weoks
ago. Tho plans furnished Jointly 17
tho Katy nnd Frisco will provide for
a depot to cost between 35 nnd ifi
thousand dollars nhlch will be udo-
quato for tho needs ot this commu-
nity for many yenrs to come.
For a long tlmo the Katy and the
Frisco split up ovor the plans for
tho reason that each of tho compan-
ies seemed to desire that tho Jim
Crow waiting rooms faco tho track
of tho other company but tho differ-
ence BoeniK to have boon overcome.
It is reported that both of tho linos
aro ready nnd willing to erect a de-
pot here and aro only waiting for
the Corporation Commission to np-
prove tho plans before they com-
mence the work.
Tho Katy has recently expended
considerable money on repainting tho
freight nnd passenger depots hore
and this will bo a loss to tho com
pany. This Improvement howovor
had been contracted for by tho com
pany beforo tho recont order of tho
commission as to tho plans and the
work of repainting commenced about
tho same tlmo that tho commission
mado bis order.
Mexlcaa Would Unite Agalast Any
Invaders.
Relative to tho talk that interven-
tion must be made In the Mexican
muddle by the Un etldtatSsecmfwyp
muddle; by the United States the
associated press sent out a story on
"Wednesday which purported to carry
an Interview with General Villa. In
the story Villa Is quoted as saying
that the Mexicans can and will settle
their own Internal questions In their
own time and way and that In the
event that any foreign power sought
to Intervene that all the Mexicans
would combine and oppoe the la-
vaders.

up from tho bottom lands to kcop

Announcomcit has been inmlo this
weok that Fred J. llarlo owner of

o this weok as cossful bidder to tho government for
providing quartern for tho Durant
PoRtnrtlcp until rucIi tlmo ns tho 80
thousand dollar rcdornl building can
be completed horo which will bo In
about Blx or bIx nnd a half years. Mr.

that Peg O' My Heart which played

Tho terms of tho loaso wero not

The. government has u nhort torm
clause In the lease howovor which
gives them tho right to vacate tho
promises an soon nx the Federal
building horo is completed and ready
for occupancy.
When asked his reason for tho
chnngo Mr. Harlo Hald to a reporter
that tho leaning of tho property for
a postofflco yields a much hotter ro-
turn to him on Ills Investment than
tho operating of nn opera houso and
with a great deal less work and wor-
ry. Whllo nothing has been given out
at tho courhouso it Is said that tho
county will loaso tho rooms now oc
cupied by tho postofflco ns an addi
