Santa Fe Ex Tuned to New Rail Connection Progress
Somerville and Conroe branch of the Santa Fe will launch traffic tonight on a new line linking Somerville to Beaumont and East Texas. Final road work to complete traffic readiness ends tomorrow with passenger service starting Sunday and two trains daily connecting with the main line at Somerville. The route will traverse Burleson, Brazos, Grimes, Montgomery, Liberty, and other counties, boosting lumber and oil movements to many points, including New Orleans via future connections. A second item notes the formation of the Second Torantey Band with a meeting at 8:30 PM at AM Hall to invite joiners and promises strong musical output from Prof. W. A. Barwon’s ensemble. A separate notice reports a divorce filing by Mary Deadman against Tom Deadman, with prior court actions dated back to December 1900.
