smoke and flame. After several min

SOUTHERN OUTLET.
Galveston's Claims on the Kansas
Farmer and Grain Dealer.


Farmer and Grain Dealer.
W. A. White, Of Galveston, I, xas. Is
in the city In he interest Of the Gal
weston Export Commission Co.. a
company formed Of Galveston bankers
and directors Of the Galveston wharf
company Of practically unlimited
means. 1t has recently spent several
million Of dollars in new wharves and
appliances among which is one of the
finest million bushel elevators west of
Chicago. Mr.. White says that the
recent improvement Of the harbor by
the government making it possible for
the loading Of ocean steamers and the
new elevator facilities for the rapid
handling OF grain, together with n
recent material reduction in freight
rates, has placed Galveston in the
foremost ranks Of America as a grain
exporting point. In fact, for the past
month nearly all the surplus grain Of
the great State of Kansas has found its
way to Europe via Galveston.
There is certainly a great future for
Galveston as an export point and Kan
sas will find it to her advantage to
encourage the southern outlet.
