The Texas Stock Journal con-
siders the arguments in favor of
establishing factories in Texas
absolutely unanswerable, and be-
lieves the same reasoning will
demonstrate the importance Of es-
tablishing packeries at points
throughout the state. They would
stimulate swine and sheep raising,
encourage maturing and feeding
cattle in the state, promote the
production and sale Of feeding
crops, save a large sum now ex-
pended in transportation charges
as we'll as much now lost by
shrinkage in transit, employment
to labor, develop the sections in
which packeries are established
and build up an export business
that would advertise Texas
throughout the civilized world.

A novel use for petroleum is the
oiling Of roadbeds in order to pre-
vent mud and dust. Accident led
to the discovery that petroleum
flowing over dirt road forms a
waterproof covering that serves to
keep the road smooth and hard.
Experiments recently made give
excellent promise that country
roads can be greatly improved by
the use of oil. Many railways are
now thoroughly sprinkled with oil
over their whole length.

as it has during the past two months,
It will net be long before the opera
tions of shipbuilding will be under
way.
In respect to location and facilities,
the new yards could probably hardly
be excelled in this country. The good
channel, several lines Of railroad, the
ease of procuring coal and labor and
the protected harbor make it an ad-
mirable site, and it was chosen only
after a wide survey of other fields. The
presence Of an additional shipyard at
that port, instead Of taking business
from or competing with those now
there, viii probably add to the volume
OF business, as it will induce interested
parties to look on Philadelphia as a
bodybuilding centre in the same way
as the world is accustomed to regard
the banks Of the river Clyde, in Scot
Hand.
The company has awarded contract
for the erection of a handsome office
building on the east side of Broadway
below Bulson street, to the John S
Rogers Company. The contract price
is $4,000. The building is to be two
