LADIES AND GENTLENIEN--As the
representative and executive officer OF
the Texas and Pacific, | congratulate
you and the stockholders Of the road
upon the completion of the connection
between the cities of Shreveport and
Dallas. This link enables the products
OF Central and southern Texas to lind
with ease and economy OF transit their
market. The rich valleys and fleming
prairies at the heads of Sabine and the
Trinity, concentrating their produc-
tons at the one city, will pour them in
an ever increasing stream through The
other to the center of the Southwest,
and but few months will elapSe ultil
Il Northeastern and Eastern outlet viii
be added to the facilities now yielded
you by your great river No man can
at this time justly estimate the size and
volume of that tide of production when
at it, full, for nowhere else upon this
broad continent Is found Il territory
that can equal It's capacity to sustain
an enormous population and to yield
in rich return the labor there eXpend-
ed. The richest valley in my native
State does not equal In productive ca
paaity the soil that lies, fat, black and
waXy, on the hend of the Trinity
