COAST STHAiMER NEEDED.
The matter of putting "a steamer into the
trade between Galveston, Corpus Chr sta and
other coast towns, WAS widely discussed
here today.
Mr.. I. Marcowitz. who Donmerly had the
steamer Cumberland dn THE Corpus Christi
Galveston trade. was asked what he thought
about the situation.
"J,pst as sure us might follows day" said
he, Galveston WIFI lose .wthhin six months
every bit OF tho great TRADE she had in that
South Texas country unless o steamer IL
p,h, on 10 knock out that San Antonio and
Aramsaes Pass schedule OF rates. You poo
pie here dn Galveston haven't gol IA idea
OF what business there IL to be had down
there II you 80 after IT. Why, when had
the Cumberland On the service got bust
ness from Chicago and st. Louis for Corpus
Christi. III iliis coaspwtse service was prop
erly developed you could mako Corpus
Christi the gateway 10 Mexico.

OF the iRtertr cities. such as San Antonio.

OF their advantages, draw the trade OF the
interior to them,
Galveston wholesalers nlxy be doing q
big business now believe they are, but
they shouldn't go to sleep and lose what IL
naturally theirs. They Will have TO get
into THE swim and fight for their rights.
II have eeen something printed about
what the arade At East Texas amounts ~.
/ can tell you that the Dast Texas trade ia
only q snap OF your fingers compared with
that South Texas trade. Galveston doesn't
appreciates the importance Of that territory.
