BIG FARMS IN TEXAS.

1t Takes Twenty-three Miles of Fence tC
Enclose One of Them.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Very few people at a distance, in think
ing of Western Texas, understand that
nearly the whole of it is at present fenced
up in mammoth pastures, yet such is
the case. Many of them are larger than
ordinary counties, and some of them EN-
brace large parts of three or four com
ties.
Just west of Belcherville, Texas, come
the Silverstein, the Ikard and the Wor,
sham pastures. This latter contains So.
900 acres and has one line of fence %
miles long. Pastures of about this size
continue in almost unbroken succession
until we reach Armstrong county. There
we find what is known as the Goodnight
ranch, the southern boundary of which
is little string of fence SO miles long.
Charley Goodnight, as the owner is ia.
miliarly known, is considered one of the
richest men in The Pan Handle. but /
really feel sorry for his boys if he ever
sends them out on hot afternoon to
stop hog holes in that line of fence. 1t
is hardly likely that this is the case, how
ever, as all fences in thar country are
built TO turn cattle. aLd without refer
ence to hogs. Ti"r" Is II liitlA 'a:wuy sta.
ton called Goodnight. Which consists G.!
the Goo1n' ght resi,lcn.. and he dc Pot.
Mr.. Goodnight lives in almost baronial
style. His park contains deer, a drove
of elk, and one &C the few herds of buffalo
in the United States.
Another fair sized holding oc land is
that of the Espinalla Cattle company.
This contains 100000 acres and takes
in parts of Dickens. Crosby and Floyd
counties. If the land We're la the form of
a square it would he about so miles
each way. The Mattertlae is smaller, but
still includes more than 1.000.U00 acres.
These are both owned b" syndicates, with
Headquarters ut ioli'lon. and ;hey are
only two selected at ian,lom ont Of Il large
They haze had their bearings
on state politics. :r it were not for ,he
!. ilrti.i commi ) IN, the 'ctn ir,t
book hill and the hl;4n lanl huLlrr oues
ton, Texas politics would not be worth
shucks.
The largest of these alien land holdings
belong to what is called the Capitol Syn
dictate. A few years ago the old capitol
at Austin burned down and it was de-
cided to build another on a magnificent
scale. An English syndicate agreed to
put it up and in payment therefor they
received 100000 acres of public lands.
Does the reader realize how. big 100000
acres of land is. Imagine slice of land
"a miles wide and extending across the
state of Missouri at its northern border.
Such strip would include the whole
arger than several states of the Union.

THIS Is AUSTIN'S CHANCE.
Austin, Tex, Jan. 26, 1895.


TO the Editor of The Statesman:
Mr.. ]. o. Wetherbee of Boston, Mass,
q prominent business man of that city, is
one of the principal owners of the Austin
Rapid Transit railway, and is so largely
interested in the prosperity of this city.
He writes me under date of the 22nd inst.
as follows:
Austin should be alive to the situation
at once. Two companies have just OBJ
tanned permission from the legislature
here to manufacture cloth out of the
state. They have the capital and will pro-
coed at once to work. | advised your at
tention to. this sonfe time ago, and
again advise you that this move means
business. which Austin should have"
There has been much comment in the
press OF late, both North and South, over
the prospective removal of many cotton
mills from the North to the South, and
with our water power about ready for use,
It would seem to be an suspicious time for
the people of Austin to take action look
ing to the securing of one or more mills at
this point. Surely we have as favorable a
location for the cotton manufacturing in
dustry as can be found in the South; and
by prompt action on the part of our peo-
pie we may be able to secure the location
of one or more mills in our city. We are
fortunate in being able to secure the active
cooperation of Mr.. Wetherbee, who is
well acquainted in Boston and can render
us valuable service in connection with
such movement
