The crocodiles are laid like sarlines in

was said that the strike bids fair TO
last couple Of months. Its duration,
the strikers think, will depend upon
the length Of time necessary for the
new boss carpenters to grow strong
enough to employ seven-eighths Of the
strikers. The new organization Sc.
cured some additions to-day and now
claim to be able to give work to over
1900 men. The pressure on the car
peniers by property owners whose
buildings aIe unfinished and who are
suffering loss by the delay, may result
in some arrangement by which the
csrpenters' council will undertake to
do the work. II is said the strike has
already resulted In an increase of rents

SUPREMELY DELIGHTFUL

To the emaciated and debilitated invalid is
the sense of returning health and strength
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
When that promoter of vigor is tested by per
sons in feeble health, its restorative and vital
izing potency soon evinces itself in improved
appetite, digestion and nightly repose, the
sole conditions under which strength and
nerve quietude is vOuchsafed to the human
system. A gain in flesh of course ensues
upon the restoration of digestion and assmi-
lation. As surely as winter follows the fall of
the leaf, does disease shadow the footsteps of
declining strength, when the premature de-
cadence of vitality is not arrested. Maras-
mus, consumption and other wasting.maladies
are prompt to tastCn upon the enfeebled
Avert disease, therefore, with this grand en-
abling tonic which not only renews falling

DEEP WATER.
Mr.. w. w. Goddard, San Antonio
Journalist, Talks to Gazette Man.
Deep Water at Arkansas Pass, the S A. and A.
P. Road and Other Matters of GEN.
eral Interest Discussed.

Much now has been said about a deep
water harbor on the Gulf of Mexico.
Arkansas Pass, as one of those places, has
come uD for her share of attention. Mr..
w. W. Goddard, editor of the San An
tonic Times is in the city and in CONVEX
sation with reporter for THE GAZETTE
yesterday brought out some points of in
terest to the general public, substan-
TALLY az follows:
az Deep water, as it is called, seems
to be a pretty well assured fact in the
minds of people down our way, - said
Mr.. Goddard. $50 well assured does ii
seem TO be, that investments are being
made upon such a basis. know of many
instances of profitable investments of
this kind. One I call TO mind now.
Mr.. Jay f. Adams, well known
in Denver and now one of the
llveliest citizens of San Antonio,
hearing of deep water ut Arkansas some
two years ago, made some investments
at Corpus Christi, Rockport and other
points surrounding. Land that he paid
$50 an acre for then 1 know he is selling
for $500 now. very good advance in
that time, and there must be some
ground for it-at least, this is the posi-
tion am forced to take.
s'There are parties from all parts of
the United States figuring in Arkansas
Pass realty at the present time.
/ have acquaintance operating there
from Wichita, Kan, Springfield, Mo-,
Indianapolis, Ind, Montpelier, N. H.,
aud other points, so that you can see
that the attention now paid to Arkansas
is not confined to any one point by any
means.
"Now that congress has passed the
bill allowing private capital TO put in
deep water at Arkansas Pass and 1t is sure
of becoming law, more than ever must
the place come into prominence. l under
stand that there is one man at Corpus
Christi Capt. Kennedy by name who owns
q little ranch of some 800 900 acres
there, believe, besides railroads and
other properties, who says that IL con-
gress cannot afford TO put in deep water
at Arkansas ne can and VIII. That's
the kind of talk that wins, you know,
ard am informed that Capt. Kennedy
has the ability and can De depended
upon to do it, now that his interest in the
matter has been pledged.
''But to me it looks as though big
ger man than Capt. Kennedy had be-
come interested in Arkansas Pass, and
that man Is Mr.. Jay Gould. Mr.. Gould
may not be in very good health, and 1
have no doubt but the balmy airs of Cor
pus Christi were of much benefit TO him,
but doubt very much If he was in our
state for his health altogether. After he
had been with us few weeks the sale OF
tine Arkansas Pass telegraph lines was an
nounced and contaminated. don 4 say
that the Western Union couldn't have
bought them without his say so
but one thing is very apparent, it did
not take long TO close the deal after
they had been personally inspected by
