General Superintendent C. F. Holmes. of
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company,
accompanied by the company's civil en-
gineer Edwin Butts, returned yesterday
morning from Chicago, where he has been
examining the construction work on the
newest electric roads.
Particular attention was paid to the over
head electric work. Estimates Were also
taken for the work on the Southwest Bou-
leyard line. Mr.. Holmes stated last even
ing that he would let the contract for con-
structing the electric work on that line
either to-day or early next week. The new
electric line will be supplied from the COM
pany's central electric power plant at
Riverside.
In speaking of his trip to Chicago Mr..
Holmes incidentally mentioned the climatic
conditions as he found them at the Windy
City. He was not altogether favorably i'm
pressed with the Chicago climate during
the past week, and graphically described n
trip of inspection over one of the long cleo
tric lines of that city while the thermom-
eter registered q degrees below zero.

This is my second trip to the Gulf, and
look upon Port Arthur as one of the most
feasible shipping points to be found on
the Gulf coast. I was much interested in
the ships anchored in Sabine bay soon to
leave for South America, Africa and Liv-
erpool. There We're twenty-siX vessels in
the larbor, all loading lumber for foreign
ports. The jetties are a success. as the largest
vessels enter this port. Those of US who
live in the Central West, and especially in
Western Kansas. are interested in tide
water. We have now an advantage of
cents per bushcl on corn over neighboring
states. all because of our present limited
Southern outlet. The completion of this
enterprise Will greatly reduce our present
rate on products. Port Arthur has an eX-

Expressions from various business men

story In a plain and forceful way which
can be understood by the average man of
affairs. They are as follows:

all parts of the world in Sabine pass. all

We passed through is heavily wooded, and
when deep water is secured Port Arthur
can handle this wonderful trade. We are
convinced that work will begin on the

The only question is deep water. There
is no doubt but this will be secured. The
road passes through a wonderfully rich and
undeveloped country. l saw vessels in Sa-
England and Italy. There were more
vessels than in Galveston harbor and you
can rest assured that very soon the Pitts

of that port. Port Arthur will be n North
