THE T QUESTION.
1t is as apparent now to citizens as It is
to the oity's guests tina Fort
Worth needs a grand commodious
hotel and needs it just as
soon as it can be had. Fort Worth
wants and needs the incest hotel building
in the South, and nothing less will
suffice. 1t has been suggested in this
connection that the magnificent Hurley
eight-story building be purchased and
that the Caswells build on Houston street
to match it. this would give a 200-room
hotel and a fine one, too, and the beauty
of 1t is it could be ready for
occupancy by Christmas day. The Hur-
ley building will have sixty rooms above
the first floor, and the Caswell building, |
if erected, would nave 40 rooms-aIl
with a southern exposure. The first
floor of the Hurley building would make
a fine lobby and offices.
The people of Fort Worth seem, at
last, to realize the need of a hotel, and a
number of plans are being agitated look
ing to the erection of me-.
H. w. Nye has sold four lots on Rusk
between Thirteenth and Four
streets, to W. F.. Stewart and
Capt. Thomas F. West for S22 900.
THE NEw COMPRESS.
1t was felt that the loss of the great
compress here by fire a few months ago
was a great blow to the city and that it
might be a year before another press
would be ready. superintendent H. H.
Kerr, however, took the matter of re-
building in hand at once, and seventy
1a-z F-1~ 4ha d. IF %hn &rn Nhn
new compress was ready for business
and up to date 81 ,OoO bales of cotton
have been compressed. Some days as
hiah as l 900 bales have been loaded on
the cars in Fort Worth. Fort Worth has
handled 20 900 bales of cotton during the
season 1S89-9O.
The stove foundry it now in full blast
and on Wednesday afternoon a large run
Of iron will be made. Visitors will be
cordially welcomed.
The tannery and shoe factory buildings
the stoekyards will be ready for the
roof in a few days.
Fort Worth millers are preparing to
handle the 2 1000 900 bushels of wheat
will be harvested in the Pan
this year.
A careful estimate of the value of the
buildings going up in Fort Worth to-day
shows the aggregate to be 81 ,215, 600.
