PUSH THE GREAT WORK.


The citizens OF Houston. OF every con1l-
ton and description. VIII be gratiflei to
note The fact that the members OF the
local deem water committee have lost none
of their interest or enthusiasm in their
work but are fully alive TO the necessity
Ct continued earnest effort before congress
until success shall crown their labors.
In this great work the general public
here must cheerfully hold uo the hands
Of the committee. Immense interests are
at stake and. In manner. the whole
future Of Houston is involved. There Is
not man engaged in anv kline of busi-
interest OF ans character. but should be
intensely concerned in securing dcep water
at our wharves. Every dollar that any
citizen contributes to the necessary ex-
peuses of the deeD water committee is n
wise investment promising great returns
This is the most imnortant matter ar
fectlng the business. the progress. the
future of Houston that has ever engaged
the attention of our neople.
The unprecedented cotton business trans
acted at this point this wear. with hum
dreds OF thousands of bales going via tho
BAYOU even In dts present condition to the
ships side. is but an earnest of what we
may expect whsn the ships come up 20 our
whnrves! With q widened and deepenad
BAYOU Houston would become permanently
Steamers and sailing vessels from all parts
OF the globe would line the docks and
thousands OF nten would obtain division
of the labor that such a condition would
demand.
But great cotton expert business would
lead to return cargoes. until we wouli
soon see large importing houses here sup
plsing Texas ard other Western communi-
ties. The grain trade would quickly follow
this supremacy In the cotton business.
With miles Of docks. safe from storms.
with n multiplicity of railroad systems
and splendid sites for warehouses ana elo-
vators along the BAYOU we should rapdly
forge Shesd among Soutn4rn ports uatil
we were second to none.
1t DIS. indeed. a contamination devoutly
to be wished Every adjoining county.
every town In direct and easy communica-
ton with Houston. would be oulclenod by
It's proximity to one OF the great ports of
the country. Texas and the West would
benefit from the opening OF another gulf
outlet. and particularly from one with such
large railway connections as Houston.
If any local movement was ever celcu-
lated to appeal to tho interest and the en-
thusiassn of Our people. this effort to OBJ
tain deem water overshadows all in magni-
tude and impoitance!

fair Illustration of the insincerlty, the fraud
