OF GREAT VALUE.
SUCH AN ENTERPRISE WOULD
PROVE TO FORT WORTH AMI
HAS nEES NEEDED.
A Means of UtiIixing a Large Amount
or Raw Product Tint Has Been
Going Elsewhere.

The suggestion OF the Gazette sew
eral days ago that a large oil MIL
plant would probably be established
here In the near future has been re-
ccived with expressions OF considerable
interest by those citizens Interested In
the Industrial progress OF this city
Several communications have been re-
ceivcd and the project has been the
topic OF considerable discussion. II Is
agreed by all hands that such a plant
has long been needed here, and that u
established and conducted on GOOD
business basis. there is no reason IN
the world why II should not prove a
highly important and lucrative enter
prise.
Information has been received that
q member " the firm which expects TO
establish and operate the plant Will be
here In few days and something def
mite will be determined. A proposition
has been made TO locate the oil mill
plant at Fort Worth stock yards as
being the best location and affordlng
tho best facilities for Its operation.
1t seems singular that no such en-
terprise has hitherto existed in Fort
Worth. when In all directions from
this city In towns Of much smaller
aize aud less commercial Importance
cotton mills have long been operated
ana nave been an Important branch OF
Industry for those places In such
towns az Wentherford, Alverado, Gle
burne, WaNphnchle and others, these
mills are operated today on quite
considerable scale. and large amount
OF raw produce is taken out OF the ter
ritory around Fort WORTH which In
naturally cuntributory 10 It, and sees
70 these smaller places. From such
towns as Mansfield Arlington. Grape
vine, Keller and lesser places I'm this
county, Granbury In Hood county.
Boyd. Bridgeport and Rhn-~o ~ We
Burleson and Joshua in Johnson ond
several towns on the Santa Re railroad
thousands ~ pounds OF cotton seed are
annually shipped to the oil mills at
the places mentioned above. when II
sr7h m Industry existed here all of
chose places would ship to Fort Worth
IL would seem that the supply OF mate
RAJ would be ample to Keep a min In
operation Tor ten months In the year.
IL the oil Is refined here II would add
sDout 100000 per year To the value OF
the product. OF the cotton seed product
only about 90 per cent. Is now worked
in the mills.
The establishment OF large oil mill
plant here VIII take she cotton soed
out OF the field and turn II out in the
highest improved form OF product.

Guessing at the Result.

The statistical bureaus of the several
parties are hard at work arranging tables
and giving out estimates Of how the cleo
ton in November will go. People like
to have their political as wen as their pri-
vate fortunes foretold, and are disposed
to give the fortune teller credit for
great deal OF ability, no matter how wild
his statements may be.
As a matter OF fact the political situa-
ton is so badly mixed at present that no
table OF estimates which disposes Of cleo
toral votes enough TO elect either candi-
date is worthy Of confidence. All that
can be said with any degree OF confidence
in the correctness OF the statement, is
that Mckinley will carry every one of the
New England states and two or three
others that are republican beyond re-
demptlon, and that Bryan will carry ev-
cry one Of the southern states and sew
eral Of those Of the west Each candi-
date is cock-sure Of approximately $50
votes, and the remainder of them are all
more or less in doubt
The people who make the estimates de-
cline of course, to consider many states
as doubtful but everybody knows they
are, just the same. Gen. Grosvenor says
that Mckinley will carry Illinois, Ken
lucky. Kansas, Michigan. South Dakota,
Indiana, Nebraska, and others. Yet it Is
very well known that Bryan has just as
good chance of carrying them, and that
the democratic managers are at this time
putting forth some extraordinary efforts
in those states, which are more than
likely to be effective Mr.. Bryan himself
is to invade the middle west at once.
1--WE want nothing better" said Mark
Hanna, when he heard Mr. Bryan was
going to enter the section between the

afraid he was going to quit talking That
is brave talk. But what else could poor
Hanna say? He has been keeping a slate
himself, and he has got to say something
to make the people consider his figures
seriously.
