Texas Should Meet in q Texas City to Make
an Effcrt for the Harmonic alton
of Tevas DifIeronces

Panhandle Inter- State: We believe
the people Of the Panhandle will favor the
deep water harbor project. Deep waite
on the Texas coast thai will open a chan.
mel for commerce with eastern markets
to compete witt the railway lines auc
will reduce the cost of transportation
will prove crest boon to tre Panhandle
! as well as to the entire state, aud is much
to be desired. Galveston seems to be the
most favoTa1ly located, and other things
being equal, the proper place to begin
operations. But the Panhandle, with the
rest of Texas, will insist upon securing
deep water where 1t can be done with the
least expense and delay.
Lone Oak Gail: The News is for deep
waller at Galveston or nothing. Some
years sgo this would have been fiue
thirg for the News, but the tide and
time hiss changed so the News must
change also.
Clsburue Enterprise: The deep water
coRstIiion proposed by Fort Worth Will
3gheld ct chat city on the 10Th Ct July
.tfhe Dervsr Cnxmoer Of Commerce has
refused to call y convention at Denver,
as suggested by Dallas business men, out
will give their influence TO make the Fort
Worth meetings success. The Denver
people saY they Will call 6 subsequent
convention to meet in September if such
is requested after the Fort Worth
meeting, This settlement Of the
matter seems an excellent one, and now
the people of Texas should unite to make
the coming Fort Worth gathering what it
ought to be, so far IS Texas is concerned

gates OF the people, not Of local or special
interests. Deep water is the one thing
desired and is more important TO the
state than the building up Of any place
a limb is sometimes sacrificed to preserve
life for the body. So, il necessary, the
state must secure deep water port if it
has to give some particular place the 60:

convention and let her business mensee-
lect and send some delegates.
Panhandle Inter State: July 10 is the.
date named and Fort Worth the place sef
deep water convention. The Panhandle
Is as much interested in the question of s
deep water hsrbor on the coast OF Texas
as any other part Of the state, and would
,Ieap as great benefit by the consumma-
Ron OF the Gsep water project. Let the
fanh6H5e represented at this conYen-
ton.
Dodd City Spectator: Fort Worth is
,iag in that line is the deep water oonven-
ton, which is called to meet in the Q 1een
city on the 10Th of July.
Orange Tribune: The deep water ve-
carries Of the Galveston Dallas News are
sufficient, To make the population of the
stasssef Texss-outside Of those living on
Galveston island-suile. Texas needs
deep water st some place on It's coast,
and would IS soon have it st Galveston
as any other point; but if deep water Or
Galveston is to be sacrificed, Galveston
Will have to go, or move it's business
as the News has done-so where there are
better opportunities combined with
greSter public liberelity and business
Texas Farm and Ranch.
Ne, the people ofTexas can't see things
exactly as Galveston, and as there has
been several millions spent on the Gal
weston harbor without, IS Galveston
says herself, the gain in depth Of single
incl, We wolld advise the people Of tnat
island, where neither nsture nor art can
keep back the quickssnds from Its shores,
to pull up stakes and move to Orange,
where deep water is an assured fact.
Corsicans Courier: Ever since the call
for q deep water convention has been
made in which the state of Colorado has
been included, much feeling has been
manifested over the place in which to
hold it. Fort Worth is making strong
effort, so is Dallas and in fact so is Den |
YER. As between Fort Worth and Denver
We prefer the Fort, but in our judgment |
neither place is go good as Galveston,
Houston or San Antonio. Our prefer
ence for deep wster would be at
Galveston, but We are salts fed ri
we get I! anywhere from BroRnsl
vile to SIbine-deep water for Texas ial
the question Of the hour snd should; .De
insisted upon, and the plsce to holdSS |
is as near ss possible to Ms |
point where that deep water can be had;
therefore Galveston or ssh AHtoniessss
ng near Aransss) would be the beasplace 4

n its practical, not sentimental sense.
Let Us have the convention though, no
