mensurate with the demands of metro
politan city was set forth in a very plain
manner, and on motion the pres
ident appointed the following CON-
mittee: Capt. NJ. B. Lloyd, chairman;

telegram dated Dallas and signed by
Truman G. Palmer, to the effect that the
Leslie car. with its corps of artists and
newspaper men, would leave at $40 this

BUYING WOOL.
The proprletors of the Fort Worth
wooden mills yesterday bought from A.
Armentrout 10, 900 pounds of wool,
which shows that the work of making
blankets, ETC., will soon begin. The
mill is about ready to begin operations.
y
stands the wool business, says that the
mill here bought the wool several cents
per pound cheaper than it could have
been bought in St. Louis, and at the
same time the owner of the wool got a
better net price for his wool than he
would have obtained had the wool been
shipped there. If Fort Worth
had several wooden mills, which
she might easily have, this
city would become one of the greatest
wool markets in Texas. Even with one
wooden mill we will handle tons of wool
where before we handled q few hundred
pounds.
REAL ESTATE DEALINGS.
There was considerable activity in real
estate yesterday and several fair-sized
deals were closed. The aggregate sales
amounted to over $50, 900. About two
thirds of this amount was paid for subur-
ban property. There are several big
deals talked about, one in which the
price said to be offered for tract of
suburban land is $500 per acre IN advance
of what was paid for the land not many
weeks ago. This trade is still in the
rumor stage one of the principals deny
ing that any such deal is contemplated.
FINE COURTHOUSE.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the move to have a fine courthouse built
for Tarrant county, and up to the pres
eut time no one has expressed opposition.
1t is expected that it will take some time
to arrange preliminaries, but those who
favor the move desire that the matter be
set before the people fully SO that In
electing county commissioners this fall,
1t may be fully understood what is
wanted and the candidates put
on record. It is urged that
it Is very OF economy to put $40, 900,
SIS 900 or $40 200 in patch work on
building which year by year grows more
and more inadequate for the public busi-
ness. Several leading attorneys suggest
that the bar take action in the matter at
once. If the subject is placed before
the people properly the next board of
county commissioners will provide Tar
raut county with the most magnificent
courthouse in Texas.
