lumber trade at Houston, II woult
bring joy to the heart of II saw mil
man to see the lumber business o
Northern Texas. The trains of the
Texas and Pacific road are daily loaded
with rs fine lumter MS can be seen IN
the world, from the immense pineriei
of Northeast Texas, and the trade, al
ready grown to immense proportions
will increase annually, rs the rich sec
ton, N which Dallas Is the center
augments in population.
"Coal has been discovered five miles
west of Lewisville, In Denton county,
So many announcement have been
made of the discoveries of coal IN
Texas that ii is problematical whether
there is really much valuable coal in
the State. There liz coal In considera.
BILE quantities further west, in the re.
gion of Fort Belknnp, which will be
utilized in the future, rs the Texas and
Pacific road shall DO extended. The
much talked Of coal in the timbered
sections Of the state, we fear can never
be made profitable. II Is of the ignite
variety and rs yet has not been util-
lied. What has become of the discov-
cries in Bastrop and Robertson coun-
ties? We hope this coal In Denton
county will prove useful. II Is along
the outskirts of the coal fields, rs laid
down on the government map, and
may turn out well. Louisville Is u
point on the line of our Wichita rail
road, and If coal in useful quantities,
can be there obtained, the Wichita
road will certainly go ahead.
1.-THE entire police force of Waco
has been discharged
And this is city claiming popu-
lation of eight to ten thousand. Not n
single police officer? There must be-
some mistake. 1t augurs II most quiet
and orderly place, or one whose H.
Eances are not In the most healthy
condition. The people Of Dallas would
be in a bad fix II we had no police Of
iicers. Here they are necessary--we
are obliged TO have them however
costly the luxury.
Several large capitalists are in
Austin with the view of locating II
large cotton factory In or near that
city,
This mote" has the ring of the true
metal In It. We announced the other
day the accession of large banking
capital In Dallas from Jefferson City,
Missouri, for which we rejoice. But
how much greater would he our glad
ness could we note the fact that money
was coming to invest in manufactures.
Ii mammoth hotels are to be built,
Dallas capital is always ready to take
a hand. One good cotton factory with
sufficient machinery aud working cap
ital on n solid basis would add more to
the prosperity of the city than any
other enterprise. With mills to grind
the wheat and factories to spin and
weave the cotton, the destiny of
Dallas rs Il great inland city would be
secure beyond all peradventure.
Forty head of fine Merino sheep
were recently sold at Davlla for
fifteen hundred dollars cash"
Now turn to THE HERALD of q few
days ago and read again the sensible
article of -. w. IT," addressed to
Colonel Davis of the Il. u 7. II. II. up
on the subject of sheep husbandry in
Texas Why not follow his useful
suggestions and erect at once your
sheep folds on the high lands of Den
ton and of Palo Pinto? What was
done on the Chamberlain rancho near
Davilla can DO done in hundreds of
localiaies In Texas. Merino sheep at
forty dollars head will soon make
the shepherd rich. Hear what the
honest dsimple shephe rd says: N 4
earn that eat. get that I wear; owe
no man hate, envy no mans happi-
, ness; glad of other mems good, aud
the greatest of my pride is to see my
ewes Craze and my lambs suckN ~
''The Grange warehouse ut Terrell
has shipped five car loads of Wheat up
to date.n se SIS ~ - fAp AA
And why DO not the Changers of
Kaufman, Hunt and Rockwell coun-
ties erect iirst-class Touring mill at
Terrell and manufacture their wheat
iato Hour instead Of shipping it abroad
at expensive freights ? The associated
capital belonging to the Changers
should be made useful by the erection
of manufactures all over the state
Let the raw material be maze into
fabrics at home, ifyon would have sub.
stantial prosperity. See what the
Grangers are doing for the iron and
cotton Ia eastern Texas and elsewhere
and profit by the example.
"The knowing one of Waco estim.
ates that that city will ship ut least
forty thousand bales ofNcotton this
season.n HINT va ra 9t FR7s ~
And what do our merchants OF Dallas
say? Shall we reach that point? Ward
Taylor, OF Tint paper with the unpro-
nouncable name. at Jefferson, claims
nifty thousand for that old n,u,.bat.
