Robert Devlin said several citizens had
been spoken to regarding the matter, and
all were anxious to have this new industry
located here. One OF the banks offered to
give from $500 to 81 600 in cash. Oak Park
Association offered to give block of land
for a mill site, which was worth, the way
the land is rated, from $1,000 to $4,000.
Judge Beatty offered to deed them a half
| block on street worth several hundred
dollars. L. L. Lewis had anthofized him
| to say that he would take 500 worth oi
/ the stock.
| Mr.. Tryon said he thought there should
be woolen mill started here. The grounds
where his mill was burned were excellently
located, the foundations of the building
were good, and he would like to go into
the enterprise so far as his means would
admit. He knew sMr. Lcughry to be q
thoroughly competent man. He had been
thinking of starting a mill here again, and
would if everything worked right, but
| then there was plenty of room for two the
more the better. The last year he ran the
mill he discarded Chinese and would never
| employ them again. He was in favor of 9
corporation. Get up your books and start
out and get your subscriptions.
Crawford Holland, President of the lone

load lots at S. per ton, and one ton fol
steam purposes was equal TO one cord o
wood. During the past year large mum
Der of manufactures have started up on 6
small scale in Sacramento; they are grow
ing in proportion every day, and all ars
making money.

The party of hOmeSeekers from MInne-
sofa, under the leadership of Mr.. Joseph
Knight, were conducted by T. A. Will
kinson, commissioner of immigration of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande, to San
Angelo, the leading city of Southwest
Texas, where they were cordially re-
ceived and entertained by the enterpris-
ing citizens. From there they pushed on
by means of wagon transportation to the
beautiful and fertile lands of Crockett
county. Here every natural feature
filed their ideal of the "Sunny South. -
In fact they said that Crockett county
reminded them in lay of country and
quality of soil, of their own rock country
in Minnesota, while the delightful eli
mate of Southwest Texas caused them to
select this favored region above all others
they had seen as their future home. The
party purchased and secured a large
tract of land, and Proceeded at once
to organize colony. An election was
held on the ground, which resulted in
naming the settlement "Luyerne Col
ony,' after the county seat of Rock
county, MINI. and placing at the head
son S. Bulls, secretary; John NUM-,
treasurer.
The entire party, after expressing hon
est surprise that so grand country had
remained open and unsettled so long and
congratulating themselves that, let the
causes be what they might, they them
selves were no to be the beneficiaries, reg
solved unanimously and enthusiastically
to fill that country up with good, indss-
trious and practical farmers.

This grand move means great good to
Southwest Texas, and the jobbing and

its influence. Wells and other substan-
tial improvements will be begun as soon
as practicable. Returning, the party
