AWAITING THE REPORT ON The
RAYOU.

The army board which completed the
survey OF Buffalo bayou few molths
since is about TO meet in this city for the
purpose Of preparing its report for trans
mission to the proper authorities at Wash
ington. and 1t is confidently believed ina,
the easy feasibility Of the scheme OF i'm.
provement will be clearly shown in the
conclusions OF tho board.
When the members of the -ivers ana
harbors committee were here during tnt
winter they were greatly impressed with
this arm of the sea and the possibilities of
It's use as channel Of commerce. fay-
orable repor; from the board OF survey VII
unquesionahly mean the securing Of a
large appropriation from congress whera
90 many OF the old committee on rivers and
hsroors are still to be found. Ii can read
uy be seen. therefore, that 40 event for
years past in this city has been Weighted
with more interest to the people OF Hous-
ton than viii center around tie meeting
OF this board Of survey
This year has been prolific Of sugges
tons OF the possibilities OF trade and ship
ping were the improvements of the bayou
completed. which have 50 long been in con
compilation. Every southern. and especially
oyery gulf port has shown a remarkable
increase i'll exports and imports during
the FIRST six months OF 1897 compared with
the corresponding period last year. For
the first time since the war the imports
through Southern ports have been intreas-
Ing in greater proportion than those
through Eastern ports. showing that the
ships which have been carrying abroad
our cotton and other Southern products are
obtaining return carsoes. and that sub
s,ant.al foreign commerce has at last BIZ
gun at Southern ports. Galveston has Sc
cured another line OF coastwlse vessels
and TIM rivalry is resulting In n cheaper
ing OF rates TO Texas and Western points
that mist bring us great shipping and
great advantages in supplying the Western
trade. other lines Will in time follow with
resulting benefits.
Houston ought to be right In the whit
now of this coastwise and ocean trade,
and would have been had her citizens
awakened sooner to the oyerahadowing i'm
portancs of bayou Improvement But It is
never TOO late to mend and We must make
IN in enthusiasm AMI persistent. untirins
and systematic enort now what We have
lost in time heretofore. when the CON
illusions OF the board OF survey become
known. whatever those conclusions may
be, citizens of this city must not cease
work, but be prepared to go to Washington
and stay there until this great project
becomes virtually an accomplished fact.
