Oil Mill.
The oil mills employ about seventy.

The oil mills employ about seventy.
five men, who would be thrown out
of employment if the mills were shut
down or removed. These men, many
of them have families, and if the
closing of the mills drives from
Brennan that many of her..wage-ern-
ers and those who are dependent
upon them, the city will feel it, and
no effort should be spared to keep
them here. Every industry, every
mandatory in a city counts, and
none should be forced to close OF al
lowed to leave. The laborers of the
oil mills spend their wages here and
the city would feel the loss of their
trade. While the city could perhaps
stand it, for that matter it could
stand many backsets and then be a
good town, it sets bad precedent.
It would look bad for the city, peo-
pie abroad would talk about Bren-
ham going backward by allowing
her oil mills to be removed and it
would initiate against othermanufac-
tories coming here. Brenhamneeds
more manufactures and mills, and
should go to work to get them in
stead of thinking for moment of
letting an established institution
leave or close. J
Supt. Elskie is reported to have
said that at the present price of
seed, he was of the opinion that the
oil mills would make for any syndi-
cate that weuld lease it, S125 per
day. He believes that it could be
leased and run proftably and he
speaks from the light of long ex-
perience in the business.
The reporter has had no oppor-
tunity to investigate the trouble
about the oil mills, but knows from
general principals that the mill
should be kept running. and at
Brennan. To allow it to move
or close down will advertise
to the world that the
prosperous city is retrogra-
ding instead of going along with the
vast procession of booming Texas
Texas towns, many of which with
not near so advantageous a position,
not surrounded with half so prosper
GUS territory or such a wealth of
good farming lands are proclaiming
to the world through the press of
every State their advantages and
reaping the reward of their enter
prise, yea, outstripping the capital
city of the banner county of the
state, which could and should go to
work to lead the van.
Brennan will not, must not, allow
the oil mill to move.
