BUFFALO hay OF.


New orleans Times Democrat.
Colonel j. C. Hutchinson, cX-membor OF
congress for the Houston lTeNasl district,
recently succeeded by Congressman Bail,
is at the ST. Charles Hotel
Colonel Hutcheson is one OF the most
prominent of the citizens OF Eastern
Texas. and has made a reputation in the
law which is second to none other In his
section Of the State The gentleman was
In this city during January as a member
OF the Houston committee appointed by
Houston to invite the rivers and harbors
committee to inspect he facilities afforded
by Buifalo bayou for the transportation of
trade TO the sea by way of Galveston bay.
In speaking of this last night, Colonel
Hutchinson said that an estimate had been
made some time ago by the engineers as TO
the probable cost of opening up commun-
cation to Houston by way OF Buffalo bayou.
The route had been surveyed. and while
the estimate was unofficial. 1t was believed
TO he correct. This estimate placed the
cost OF deepening the bay at various points
from dccp water in the iettics to the mouth
OF tho BAYOU at about 5000 600. and THIS
amount. in comparison with the impor-
lance of the project was but slight. The
opening up of the bayou 10 Houston would
save to the State Of Texas, or 10 It's ship
pers. annually an immense sum. The freight
rate to houston would represent saving
of 80 cents per bale, while the saving in the
one matter of lighterage and wharfage IA
Galveston would put the amount to the 30
cent mark
Colonel Hutchinson is an enousiast in
this matter. He has given The subject
considerable earnest consideration, and is
perfectly familiar with the facts included
in the project He intends to prosecute the
matter OF securing an appropriation from
congress TO dig the necessary channel. aud
believes that he viii be successful He
said that the members Of the rivers and
harbors committee seemed to appreciate
the importance Of the project and the Dos
sibility of securing the water nj the mouth
of the BAYOU. In Buffalo BAYOU there was
at pre- sent twenty feet of water constantly
and the opening M of tho desired depth in
the bay would mean tho placing In cultiYa-
ton Of thousands OF acres OF the richest
lands in Texas lying along the bayou. and
capable OF producing almost ANYTHING.

today, Will be the gentleman appointed,
Representative Hawcy today saw the
chief OF the light house board relative to
the building OF light house at Galveston,
for which congress has appropriated s36.-
900. The delay In beginning the work Is
dus to the shifting about of the engineers.

Galveston Immediately,
Mr.. liawlcy does not seem TO be in any
hurry to take up the matter OF appointing
fourth class postmasters in his district
His idea is to leave the question ot select,
Ing the postmastcrs to the patrons OF the
office, and the man the majority OF the
patrons want will he satisfactory to him
This does not necessarily mean that
there will be no fight, hut 1t means that
the contests will be narrowed down TO two
or three applicants. instead OF dozen.
DR. Grant. the national committeeman,
from Texas. said today that II the appoint
menu OF the postmaster for Paris and Rec
willie were considered Green victories then
he would be perfectly satisfied that all
the other Federal appointments in Texas
should be considered Green victories on the
same score. II is well known here that the
appointments OF the Paris and Booville
pos,nastors were made solely ON Grants
recommendations
