BEATTY AND BUILDING.
The Past Week Has Been Satisfactory
to Fort Worth.
Some of the Things Ffse'ed in the Interest
Progress-The Bank ClearIngs Make
Good showing.

The week which closed last night has
been fruitful of good things to Fort
Worth, and great progress has been
made in the direction of the upbuilding
of the city.
Perhaps the most suspicious event
which characterized the period Men
toned was the installation of Peter
Smith as mayor, n contamination which
has thus early been productive
of all the good which the
most ardent well-wishers of the citF
could desire. On the first night of his
occupancy of the executive CHAIR he TOOK
occasion to grant to the city in fee sim
pie valuable plat of land which this
city had before holden on terms
which were no longer desirable. Later
on in the week he offered TO donate to
prospecting firm valuable piece Of
property on which to conduct its indus
try, thus securing for the city an estab-
lishment that will rebound no little to
her welfare. With the installation OF
such n public spirited citizen as mayor
the city has entered upon q new IA.
From several other directions have
come Developments that promise great
things in the immediate future for the
the operations on the city experimental
well, promising an abundant supply OF
purest artesian water for the city 3
mains, Is an event that cannot be over
estimated. The value of water in mex
haustible quantity Is not equaled by any
other factor that goes to make "a city.
The completion of the Arlington
Heights street railway, opening up for
suburban residence large ana beuutr-
full tract of land supplied with all neces-
sary auxilIaries of a we'll regulated city,
gives Fort Worth an additional attrac-
ton to visitors and prospectors.
The location in this city of the large
stone saving establishment represented
by Mr.. Yost, which will give employ
ment to from thirty five to forty hands
is of value beyond the mere fact of add
ing TO the city's population so many
families. 1t makes the cost of stone
buildings cheaper, and Is an inducement
for the more general construction of such
structures.
During the last week Mr.. J J. Gan
non of the brewery company returned
from Chicago prepared to enter at once
into the construction OF his plant so as
to have it in operation at the earliest
possible moment. A plant costingSl75, 900
machinery stands far ahead of anything
of its kind in the state and guarantees 10
this city the control of the beer trade in
all the surrounding country.
The work of instruction on the i'm
mense paokery plant in North Fort
Worth has been pushed during the week
with all speed possible. or the immense
stone buildings which constitute the
plant one has about reached its full
height, seven stories. The completion
of these buildings, being constructed
under the personal supervision of an
architect who has been engaged on
nearly all the great plants of similar
kind IN the country, places Fort Worth
in the same attitude with regard to the
packing industry in Texas that Kansas
City, Omaha and Chicago occupy in
the sections of which they stand in the
center.
Work has been prshed on the many
fine store buildings now under way on the
principal streets OF the city. The fins
red stone front, Ryan French building
on Houston street, is up above the sec
ond story and still points upward. The
Jennings three-story brick, adjoining
the new seven-story Hurley Office build
ing, has gone up several feet. The
MdFLlu DTOWu DuluiiS mas T6CelN6u sSE-
eral feet of carved stone and approaches
that much nearer the six stories which II
will have when completed. This work OF
clearing the ground for the beautiful six
story Hendricks building, corner Main
and Seventh streets, has been carried on
regardless of obstacles.
Verify, the people of Fort Worth can
rejoice and be exceeding glad.
