ing hsroor on the Texas coss.,

mind that has given the subject careful
consideration. The action OF Congress
heretofore IN making limited appropria-
tons for the different karbors on the
TeI,s coast has not resulted In practi-
cal benefit to the people Of the country,
and the hope Is INDUCED that by careful
investigation and calm deliberstion some
one point Can be selected, and by
uniting and concentrating the efforts Ot
the representatives, Of the people upon
given point, sn appropriation can be OBJ
tanned sufficiently large to secure e hsr
Dor on the southwestern coast which Will
be commensurate with the vast interests
Of this rapidly growing section Of the
Union and ensble the commerce OF this
section 10 seek the markets Of the world
by the shortest and most direct route.
II order to ceDtralize the responsibility
in this matter, the Fort Worth Board OF
Trade hiss undertaken the management Of
the case, ard deserves the symps-
tby OF the people Of 81
that territory west OF the Mississippi
rIver and south Of Salt Lake City. The
importance to this section Of deep water
port az sCme point on the C0as5 OF Texas
Caa hardly be over estimated, and the
scheme should have the support Of the
people OF the L )cky Mcua'sin region.

they will work for themselves.
PROSPECTS OF GULF H4RBOR AT LAST
Lincoln, Neo., News; Tae people OF
Texas have at last awakened 20 the VAST
importance OF deep water port On The
coast, and convention has been called
to meet at Fort Worth or July 10, for the
purpose CT devisiGg ways ana means for
its accomplishment.
To this end the municipal organize
tions Of tne northwest are invited to send
delegates and Il is to be hopad Nebraska
will be well rep! esented.
A deep water herbor on the northwest
coSst CT the gulf is OF the greatest i'm
portsnce to this state, as well as the en-
tire northwest, the saving Ct Isil trans
portstion to the sea board being from
Lincoln to Galveston 700 miles less than
10 New York.
Let this measure receive the consldoIa-
ton from Nebraska thai It's importance
merits.

New Orleans seems slow to reach after
the trade of the grest northwest, snd in
fact has not the facilities to handle any
considerable +rsde, The importance OK .
southern market for Nebraska products
is well understood by the business men
Of the stste. Galveston being 700 miles
nearer Lincoln than is NV York, the
sending OF products to that port will Ie-
suit in the saving Of that much ra1l trans
portation. II Galveston c.n be given
deep water hsrbor, and if New Orleans
wakes up to the situstion, the northwest
producer Will have two southern com
peting markets, both competing with New

THE WHOLE STATE AFFECTED.
Sherman K Register: Tle time is drawing
nesr for the deep water port convention,
and the subisc: merits attention The
Register gone time ago declared it's con
victIons N favor Of holding the C1nVen-
tion outside the bounds Of TtXEs. II
thought this the better policy, IS by so
doing it wns believed that to great ex-
tent the mSnY Claims Of different places
on our coast for this por. could be es-
capped. And 1t was also advocated because
to accomplish this proposed departure in
federal government procedure and secure
aid for some particular point OF the coast,
without asking assistance for any
other point CT such coast it was sgreed
that Texas mus: be backed up strongly by
the great interests of the states to the
north and northwest CT her, th.t are 10
very great and owing extent dependent
upon this port. |: was not thst We did not
believe the convention at Fort Worth
would Lot accomplish good, but because
we were confident better results would
