The Views of Practical Man in Regard to
the Future.

The Views of Practical Man in Regard to
the Future.
Mr.. G. NJ. Wicker of New York, is a
gentleman who has vast experience IN the
matter of building cities, and who is a
close observer of events. In an informal
conversation at the Ellis last night he ex-
pressed himself freely on the prospects of
Fort Worth: ''This city, - he said,
"should devote its energies to manufac-
turing enterprises, you must produce
some of the things you, consume and
make something to sell. There is no rea-
son why the farmers of Erath, Hood
Comanche and Brown should be using
Moline, Mitchell or Studebaker wagons
when they can be made in Fort Worth.
The hard timber is not far away, and
can be brought here cheaper than the
manufactured article. Fort Worth should
manufacture soap, paper bags seamless
sacks and other articles con-
sumed in large quantities. Straw
papers should be made here. Fort
Worth s great advantage now is her To-
cation. Trade goes from east to west
and there win never be a great rail-
road center west of Fort Worth
for hundreds of miles and trade

West. Denver will never reach farther
than Trinidad with her trade and
Trinidad will soon take care
of itself, but Trinidad can never
control the trade of the Panhandle. Fort
Worth win do that. There viii
be railroad crossings west of
Fort Worth where competition viii
be sharp. but there viii be no COM

A Genuine Surprise.

Hartsield, on East Belknap street, was
the scene last evening of an old-fash-
Toned storm party, given by number of
her friends TO Miss Blanche, the charm
ing daughter of the host and hostess.
While the affair was a complete surprise
to all the household, yet they proved
more than equal 30 the emergency, and
everyone was made TO feel individually
welcome, music, dancing and cards
forming the order of the evening,
followed later by refreshments.
The evening was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Among those present
were the following: Misses Lille Peak :,

Newspapers and the People Cry Against 1t
But the Public Must Pay
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. I5.-The conven-
ton hall in the Sherman house, this
morning, rang with shouts of approval
when f. S. Judge of Baltimore
recommended that the Western
packers canned goods ASSOCIATION
form a trust. Mr.. Judge is editor
of the Baltimore Trade Journal, devoted
TO tin canning industry. ''We have not
a market for all our product, - said Mr..
Judge, land the question is where are
we going to find it? There are hundreds
of packers who, to meet obligations, are
forced to cut prices. Now great many
of these have sold so close that they find
themselves nearly bankrupt, and some
of them viii go out of business ere long
We want an association that viii govern
prices. A system of warehouses, where
surplus products could be stored and
kept out of market, would solve
problem, and we could get our prices
then If any section of country not in
the association attempted to cut prices
we could threaten them with a bigger
cut, and they would not dare to go be-
low us 1t must be done. The inevitable
tendency is ruination if a combina-
ton of this kind is not formed
It would cost as much as the goods
stored, would be ample security, and a
guarantee of good faith. Men are preju-
diced against any such action, the public
and newspapers cry out against such
combinations; but when your pocket
comes into consideration and the dear
public must pay.

men of prominence in the Northwest.
The party left tonight for Corpus

presumption that he is contemplating the

though when interviewed on the subject
he refused to commit himself.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. ia local
paper says: EAST bound freight rates
from all points in the West are again in
bad state, and the opinion is that moth
ing can be done to improve the situation
except to make a general reduction in
east-bound through rates. The present
decentralization is due to manipulation of
rates by eastern and western roads.
This is accomplished by under billing
false invoicing, issuing fraudulent ex-
pense bills and many other irregular
practices. The worst state of affairs ex-
list at Peoria and it is said TO be due to the
peculiar action which is reported
