What markets does the Continent
tai Company propose to supply?o
at already furnishes beef to New
Orleans and Galveston as said before,
but neither one Of the places are now
taking near the quantity they need or
will eventually lake from this com
pany. New Orleans is now getting
one carload day, but really con-
sumes five carloads, all of which in
the course of time will he supplied by
this company. Galveston Is not TAX
ing near all she consumes, but
her orders will also increase.
The other Southern mar
ke,s 70 be supplied are Memphis,
Nicks jurg, Montgomery, Mobile,
Ma oh u, Atlanta and in fact all the
Southern cities. No effort has been
made 10 introduce Texas dressed beet
into any place but New Orleans, out
side the state
why can Texas not supply New
York and Philadelphia and other
Eastern cities with home dressed
beef?n
ut eau be done very easily, but
there is great deal of 'conIpetion to
contend with in supplying Eastern
cities. In the course of time, however,
believe Texas dressed beef will b,
used everywhere, except in the
Western cattle growing countries. You
are aware that Chicago once thought
thar no other place cou 4 slaughter
heeves. That reminds US of the as.er-
once made 10y Atkinson, that cotton
could not be manufactured into Goth
and thread anywhere but i'm the North.
Texas can slaughter tile within her
boundaries az well AS Chicago can. and
IL Is Il great surprise that she has not
begun this before.

the move. and will give it all the en-

very favorable rates and do all he can
to advance the Interests of the enter

We can make Il contract 10 run over a

The Continental Company made any
proposition to the capt. lists of Foit

Yes, but'I am not at liberty to give
you the details. A proposition has
been made and one deem
very fair one and one
that should be accepted. This is Ger.
iainly Fort Worihs opportunity Ia
show her enterprise. She will never
have such another golden opporlun-
