THE BAYOU BUSINESS.

The season is upon us again when the
great ynlue OF Buffalo bayou to Houston
and to the States commerce is being con
spicuousiy demonstrated in the heavy ship
ments of cotton Thar are going from our
wharves to the ships In Galveston bay.
More than $4,000 bales were carried down
this Waterway on barges last month, the
frst Of the cotton season. This month and
next these figures VII be greatly multi
piled, until, as usunl. the transportation
business of the bayou will represent mil
lions OF dollars OF commerce,
Possibly our own people and those to
whom we are booking for deeper and
wider channel. do not sufficiently eppre-
ciate the fact that we already have an i'm
mense commerce through The bayou.
The business actually exists,
1t is not as If we were seeking new
outlet for our trnde. or asking for an ex
pertinent at government expense.
We are In effect a port from which hun
dreds OF thousands of bales OF cotton are
annually Slipped by water
What would be the result today. II the
ship channel which we desire extended from
the foot OF Main or Fannln street to deep
water? We are receiving phenomenally
large amount of cotton and with deep water
We would DO loading the ships themselves
rather than barge3 at our wllarves. I'm

where would be exported from Houston di-
rect. ships plying between Texas and the
West Indies. or Central America, would
carry immense stores Of all kinds from
Houston warehouses. and returning deposit
oargoes at the foot Of our business streets.
This Ia not fancy picture, but con
cluslon justified from what we now see IN
progress on the bayou.
The prospect should arouse every business
agency in Houston to the paramount neces-
sity of keeping this bayou improvement
maltter constantly before the public and be-
fore congress.
Whatever cost Is required to do this
Should be cheerflrlly borne. We have

and to a speedy accomplishment.
