Emile Quarrc q newspaper man Of
los Angeles. Cal, was in Fort Worth
yesterday, returning home from trip
TO the Worlds fair, Il was in Fort
Worth several years ago" said Mr..
Quarrc at the Pickwick yesterday. "and
Fort Worth Of today is Il revelation TO
me. When / was first here Fort Worth
was scarcely more than small town
aud now / find city. The progress
this city has made is truly wonderful.
But, then, when we consider the ud-
vantagcs which this town possesses the
wonder Is that it ia not bigger than II
is California; Oh. all California Is
preparing for its Mid.wluter fair. And
it's sure to be grand success, too.
Every man in the state has appointed
himself committee Of one to help Ii
nlong, and when such enthusiastic energy
is shown no undertaking can fail OF sue
cess. Wonderful PREPARATIONS are being
made for that fair Money, hrains and
energy are being expended lavishly, 1t
will be u bigger thing than YOU Imagine,
second only 10 the great Worlds fair.

Impossible California experts the great
state of Texas to make an exhibit aud
hope IL will OF course, such an ex-
hibit would add 10 the attractivcncss of
the fair. and hence be of benefit to II,
but not Of SO much 10 the fair IA To
Texas. There will be many Foreigners
in California and an exhibit would nt-
tract much attention to Texas, and
that's all Texas needs.

Shall pass. As | said. credit will er-
Iand. but. If possible, money viii be
boarded more than il Is. WHY From
the usual cause. The first Of the year
is settlement month and the time when
millions have TO be pnid as interest.
Banks and iinanciers begin to prepare
for the coming of January several
months ahead by calling In their loans
and emitting no effort that WIZ bring
money immediately TO their Golfers.
But when these settlements shall have
general prusperity--a prosperity which !
believe will be unprecedented.

ducing freight rates to Fort Worth said
q gentleman at the Pickwiek yesterday.
81 think too much honor eau not be given
to the Rock Island managers for that
move, and / hope the people Of Fort
