Yesterday was 8 Day Big with Great Things
for Fort WOrth-Ihe Result of q Visit
from the Wall Street Wizard.


significance of a happy character than
any event that has transpired in these
parts for many q day. The visit was
not an idle isunt, but was brought
| trip made to Dallas week
ago by MIR. A. T. Byers and Col. John
K. Hoxie. When he reached Fort Worth
| yesterday he was conveyed to the gigan-
tic stockyards plant at North Fort Worth
and was there shown what had been
done, what was being done, and what 1t
was proposed to do. He saw the stock
yards, the largest in the South, fur
nlshed with all modern appliances and
conVenienoes for the handling of cattle,
and he appreciated the possibilities of such
an institution ct this point. He saw the
men at work on the immense pork-pack-
cry which will control the trade Of an
empire rapidly growing in population and
wealth. And he was made acquainted
with the plans for the construction and
operation of a refrigerator at that point.
What the material result Of these
things may have been it is not yet for
newspaperdom and the public to know.
But Col. John Hoxie is happy over
the results. When asked about them
yesterday afternoon he said; "'YOu go
on and say what you like about il IN THE
GAZETTE. just put it IN the best you
can, and I'll guarantee you II fall short
of the facts by 500 per cent.
So it can be inferred MI. Gould has
been successfully interested in the
projects under way in North Fort Worth.
That means at least the construction Of
more lines of railroad TO the stock
yards at once, aud the granting
of further facilities for the conducting Of
a successful business at the yards.
Mr.. Gould's railway interests in Fort
Worth are to be taken care of in such
way that the city will be benefited. This
comes circuitously but reliably. The
first thing to be done is the erection Of
freight depot on the site of the old one
at the foot of Main street. This building
will be of brick, as ornamental as posi-
BILE. and its dimensions may be stated as
larger than any similar building in
Texas.
And as regards a union depot-that's
Ill right.
NOTES OF PROGRESS.
The Roche two-story brick store build
ing near the foot of Main street is re-
ceiving its finishing touches. 1t fills out
that block, and gives an appearance OF
completeness to that part OF the city.
Some large deals in Tsrrsnt county
property are being pushed through.
Five hundred feet have been bored in
the artesian well on fuckers hill, and
Fort Worth is placed 500 feet nearer the
best and cheapest water supply system on
earth.
The magnificent Hurley building is re-
ceiving its seventh story of stone. AS it
now looms it is one of the most substan-
tial and business-like ornaments the city
possesses.
The Robbins store building on CAL
houn and Second streets is reaching its
whole height rapidly.
The South Side is dotted all over with
new residences of all classes, most of
them showing considerable taste IN their
design and construction.
A large force of men were started at
work yesterday, according to schedule,
on the new paokery at the Union stock
yards. That building will be pushed to
completion as fast as men and money
can do it.
