PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS, !
April "a, 1897.
Two days spent in the careful In
spection Of the townsite at Port Ar
thur, the experimental farm (wheTe
everything grows and thrives), and the
harbor facilities that will soon be sf.
forded by the deep water at Sabine
Pass and Sabine Lake, leads us to be-
lieve that great commercial city must
arise at Port Arthur, and we are fur
ther convinced that the projectors of
the Kansas City, PIttsburg g. Gulf
Railroad are sincerely In earnest In
their efforts to accomplish this object.
They have built magnificent railroad,
very nearly completed, and are Law
ishly spending money at this point In
terminals of a permanent character,
which of itself indicates perfect good
faith in securing at an early date the
safest and best deep water harbor on
the Gulf Of Mexico. (Signed) J, B.

KANSAS City, Mo-, April "a, 1897.
arthur B. StjIlOelI, Esq, city,:
DEAR SIR-I have just returned
from Port Arthur and vicinity. II af-
tOrds me great pleasure to inform you
that every statement made to me by
your representatives OF read in your
literature has been verified to my en-
tire satisfaction. In fact, l regard
your representation Of the present con.
dition and future prospects Of Port Ar

pleased with than the vicinity Of Port

ity of those who have lived there for
many years and of my own observa.
tions and the concurrent opinion Of
experts, as the ideal garden spot Of
North america. Soil, climate and 10.
cation make 1t such. It only requires
brain, muscle and energy to do the
rest. Port Arthur really seems to be
an ideal site for a great city, IfIwere
called upon to mention a spot more
favored by nature FOR such purpose, |
fear would search in vain, 1t is nat
ural port--high land, good drainage, safe
not only from sea storms and tidal waves,
but in case Of war could smile at a
hostile feet. Boston, New York, Wash.
ington and Baltimore might be razed to
the ground by bombardment and not q
shell need reach Port Arthur, situated
on a narrow channel twenty-one miles
from the Gulf.
1t seems almost silly question to ask
whether the canal will be made from
Sabine Pass to Port Arthur. Study the
situation and you will get the answer,
We're there no other motive, self.interest
alone would compel the company to con-
struct 1t. The townsite and terminal
facilities, whose value is now, with the
port in sight, vRriously estimated al
from 10 to 20 millions of dollars, unless
the canal be made will become pasture
land again or garden patches worth from
$50 TO $l00 an aCre-a loss Of one-half
the cost Of the entire line from Kansas
City to the Gulf. It does not occur to
me that you gentlemen who have
brought this great undertaking so close
to o successful completion-and that,
too, during season Ct financial crises
will now be bluffed out Of your most
valuable interests, even by Wall Street.
The American people are with you In
this move. 1t is the peoples cause
against monopoly, and the peoples cause
must win; and it will win, too-if not
now, in the near future.
say selfinterest would construct this
canal we're there no other motive; but
there are more potent forces than self
interest OF railroad company demand
ing it's construction. 1t is the shortest
and most natural outlet from the centers
of production to the high seas and
thence to foreign nations. 1t is also the
shortest inlet from these nations to our
centers Of distribution In the great farm
ing and stock raising lands Of the West.
The advocate., 1897-05-12


he can have as good market thousand
miles nearer home and have to pay no
toll at all.
The Western farmer may have whis-
kers on his chin, but he has none on his
eyes. He will soon see through and
comprehend the logic OF nature, and il
10 the logic Of nature that 10 going to
build this canal in the long run, unless
man builds it sooner. The part you
have played in the building Of this great
trans. continental outlet will do more
good for the toiling farmers in Western
fields than all the legislation Of the past
twenty years Of our Congress at Wash
ingtOn has done.
Another point greatly in favor OF
Texas is that it's incoming population has
not been so exclusively a foreign element.
1t is quite metropolitan in complexion,
and composed principally Of our bright,
intelligent and enterprising young people
who seek and find in this vast domain q
better opportunity for utilizing their
mental and physical forces than they
find in the congssted bee.hivss Of over
population in the East and North.
II you ask me where do think is the
best place for the young man or the
young family to go, would reply that
unless they are thrifty and Industrious
and economical, they might as well die
where they are; but il they possess these
qualifications for good citizenship, l
would say, 60 to Texas. II you ask me
what part of Texas, ! would say, the
southeastern part now, as there are
wonderful opportunities there which are
fast disappearing, Locate somewhere in
the vicinity Of Galveston, Houston or Port
Arthur. Some say Galveston will be the
great metropolis; others say Port Arthur
will. am not prophet, Time will
tell, One thing, however, to my mind
is sure-Port Arthur must have some
very strong claims on recognition, else
its enemies would not make such o
desperate effort to kill it.
There are opportunities there for
building one Of the greatest centers Of
commerce in our nation. There are the
best Of reasons why it should be built.
There are the strongest Of probabilities
that it will be built. Hence, to those
who are seeking to better their fortunes
and who have a little OF this worlds
means, some good solid sense and good
fund Of energy, would say that so far
as am capable of forming an opinion,
know Of no place in America to-day
that affords the same golden opportuni-
ties as Port Arthur and vicinity. Keep
your eye on Port arthur.
With best wishes for your great under-
taking, I am, yours respectfully,
r. M. BLooMER.
There never was such an opportunity

dance of strawberries and jersey
cream, all from the experimental farm
three miles away, also belonging to the
company which we visited after dinner
was over, In carriages furnished by
the company. On this farm we found
where the prairie sod had been broken
up since last October, new potatoes
dug for use, strawberries ripe and In
bloom, string beans which were being
picked for use, cabbsges, radishes, let
tuce, and all early vegetables raised
here ready for use; and all of this, ss
we would say at home, on sod where
we would not expect to raise much OF
anything. Also on this same kind OF
ground they have set out very large
pear orchard that seems to be coming
on uicely; they have also stuck out
several thousand slips to raise more
pear trees, and they tell me these dc
well. They also had corn and oats
growing on this same kind Of ground
the oats were better than / ever saw

twenty-five acres at Beaumont, the

from All Parts Of the Country as
to Its Future.
The Government of the United States
has already spent about $l,7OO,OOO in
building the ietti 8 and dredging the
outlet at Sabine Pass, and 2415 feet of
water at low tide and 2615 feet at'high
tide has been secured. The object In
view in making this enormous expen-
diture has doubtless been to secure q
Gulf outlet for the West, Middle and
Southern States, and it has been thor
Oughly justified by the results obtained.
This work shows what 1t is possible to
do and that the Port Arthur dredging
proposition is feasible.
The following statement from late
visitors to Port Arthur indicates that
favorable Impressions are made on the
minds of those who investigate this
Citys advantages:

New YORK. Nov. 9.-The Journal
prints the following letter from eX-
Mayor Hugh J. Grant concerning W.
j. Bryan and the recent election:
The conclusion of Mr. Bryan that the results
OF the recent election indicate popular dissat-
isfaction with the policy of the republican
party is undoubtedly cOrrect. His declaration
that they ''presage the overthrow of the re-
publican party is not entitled to the same Gre
dence as his conclusion l heartily hope that
the republican party will be overthrow in
1909, but it is early for anyone but enthus-
asst like Mr.. Bryan to make up his mind what
will happen three years hence
Mr.. Bryan did nothing for the local democracy
this year Every suggestion OF his words or
acts was to our disadvantage The secretary
OF the democratic national committee Mr..
Walsh, who is presumably very close to him in
sympathy. repudiated the candidacy of Van
Wyck on the ground that Van Wyck did not
stand upon the silver plank Of the Chicago
he had to give. The trouble with Bryan and
the secretary of the national committee is that
they cannot adapt themselves to changing con-
ditions- Many things are likely to happen be-
tween now and 1900 If they happen as Mr.. Bryan
thinks they will happen. they will justify his
assumption OF the roll of prophet il they do
not, Mr.. Bryan will be grieved In any event
the democratic party will remain

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Among the persons
admitted to membership in st. James
Methodist church Sunday was a young
Chinese woman who had been living
here two years under the name of
Lena Brown. Rev. Robert Mcintyre,
pastor of the church, baptized her.
and told the congregation the story of
her life. The young woman was born
in Hong Kong. Her father was ply
sician and was teaching her his profess
sion when his sudden death occurred.
The girl was taken by her uncle, and
a few months later was brought to
America by him and bought by Chi

and wife. formerly of Chicago, now
engaged in missionary work in Cali

she first learned of Christianity. Upon
learning that her husband had a wife
in China she decided to leave him.
One morning soon after breakfast, she
gathered few articles of wearing APP
parel and, picking up her child, es-
capped, and, under the protection of
two police officers, was taken to a place
of refuge. Mr.. Cole soon found it ne
cessary to send her further away. as a

SOLDIERS HOMES.

The Inspector General Has q Plan for q
Monthly Allotment to Veterans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The annual
reports of the board of managers of
the United States soldiers homes, soon
to be submitted to congress, will show
that all the homes are filled to the full
limit of their capacity and that in GER
tain localities there are many worthy
and dependent soldiers entitled to
these privileges who have to be turned
away because of the present over
crowded condition of some of the
homes. Additional appropriations for
new quarters consequently will be
asked for by the board and will, of
course, receive the earnest support
of those representatives who have
homes located in their districts. But
these recommendations will run coun-
ter to a new proposition which In
spector General Breckenridge will
submit when this subject is taken up
for consideration. This contemplates
the use annually of about 500, 900
from the regular appropriation for the
support of the homes for allotments to
those dependent soldiers who can
not be provided for in the homes be-
cause of lack of accommodations. A
number of men at present are in homes
who would much prefer to go outside
and live with their families if they
had an allotment of So or $40 a month
the equivalent of what it costs to
maintain them in the homes. In this
way, Gen. Breckenridge figures it out,
a sufficient number of vacancies will
be made in the homes to pro-
vide for those who are unable to OBJ
tain admission
