COOPERATION.
How the Working Man Can Aid
Himself and Make Good
Money

81 see," said a prominent citizen,
chat society has been organized
in the city to give information in
regard to the UtOpian colonization
scheme at TOpolobampa and to aid
citizens in getting there. Now
that scheme is simply an expert
ment, and even those interested
and working on it admit that it's
success is doubtful. Why then
should our people leave civil
lied Texas, where we have
a glorious climate, fruitful lands
and good opportunities for success
in all ways, to go to a Mexican
desert, endure the privations and
miseries Of a pioneer life when
the same, or similar results can
be obtained right here III comfort.
L believe in cooperation and let
me tell you / have preached and
practiced it. Years ago / was
stakeholder in a cooperative as
ISOLATION in which there We're dry
goods, clothing, boot and shoe,
grocery, meat, book, and furniture
departments, in fact, everything
man required could be purchased
there. The prices charged were the
average market prices and the pub
lie generally, as well as members,
could buy what they wanted. Each
time an order was given, cash was
paid, (there was no credit, and the
purchasers received a metal check
representing the value of his pur-
chase. Each month these checks
were redeemed at a discount of
from to 20 per cent on purchase
value, and the stockholders got a
further dividend of from 10 to 80 |
per cent on their shares. In adj
ditiOn to this the society built !
a twO-stOry block containing |
several stores on the lower floor,
and on the upper floor hall, read
ing room, library, billiard, chess
and checker room, offices and |
rooms for the accommodation of |
members. Now the same results
could be obtained in San Antonio.
There is scarcely a working man
in the city who could not spent
S1.O0 per week for two years which
would give him a 500 value in
shares. He would save more than
his dollar in reduced prices of his
purchases, his share would be at a
good premium, and he would also
get his share of the profits. Properly
it is a safe investment,
and most practical and remuner-
alive one. The capital would be
for, with a thousand
stockholders, it would give work
ing capital Of $1,000 per week, that
would run a big business and be
ample for all purposes. There is no
other business that cannot be
worked in a like manner, although
there are few that can be so useful
and practical as providing the ne
;essities of life at reduced rate. |

THURSDAY, OCTOBER %, 1893

The city fathers have resolved to
put Alamo street in thorough re-
pair between Commerce street and
Mission garden. The LIGHT will
give them one pointer on that
street. 1t cannot be repaired by
simply dumping gravel in the
holes and rolling it over. That
method has been tried adj nause-
UNI and every dollar expended has
been practically thrown away.
That street can only be put in
thorough condition by repairing it
as the Dutchman's gun was re-
paired with new lock, stock and
barrel.
Ten days more will see every
