This is we'll said, and the people of every

Let the people OF Webb ana adjoining
counties move at once in the matter by
for stock and establishing a
woolen mill TO manufacture the largest
possible part OF the wool grown in this
section. Let the shares be placed at, say
$40 each and let every citizen of these
counties take an interest, even if only
to the extent of one share, and let no one
man take more than, say, $500 worth of
shares. BY this means the necessary
amount for a fair beginning could easily
be raised and besides insuring good divi-
bends the benefits wouli be large in many
other ways to this entire section. Let the
people OF Laredo move at once in the mat
,er and urge the cooperation OF every resi-
lent OF Webb and adjoining counties.

A TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.

| II Is OF great Importance to the devel-
opins tobacco industry In this section,
and to the city OF Houston, thst such eff
forts as are to be directed toward the os-
should be put forth as quickly as possible
| There are several good reasons for this
statement. Last year was the first In
which general interest was aroused in
this part Of the State in tobacco culture.
Tobacco has been grown, of course, for
some time in several counties nearby, but
I last year the public began to pay renewed
attention to the subject. and 1t was dem.
onstrated that we had been largely sleep
ing on our possibilities in the premises.
Numbers of farmers, who had not before
grown tobacco, began to experiment with
It. until 1t is now estimated that several
hundred thousand pounds of their crop
whore IT could be stored and advances
made upon II.
1t Is important that this crop be disposed
of advantageonsly in order that the farm
ers may be enabled to turn their atten-
tion without embarrassment to the raising
of still larger amosfnt this year. A local
market OF some kind. in other words is
absolutely necessary to encourage this
new and promising industry.
There Is of course, an ample market
| in this country. but the buyers have not
had their attention sufficiently called az
yet to this new Texas product and the
Texas farmer, who is new to tho business,
does not know how or where to dispose OF
his crop to best advantage.
The necessity for an ample warehouse
at Houston, by reason of this city's CEN
trial location in the tobacco belt, and IT'S
many transportation facilities. is at once
apparent The cotton planter would not
want 10 continue raising cotton but for
the facilities afforded him for disposing
of HE crop. The tobacco warehouse Is not
only necessity. but II will prove pow
orful stimulus to the new neutrality-suspicious.
1t at once on a safe and convenient busl-
ness basis, and increasing the production
from thousands to millions of pounds.
And Just as tobacco raising will pay bet
ter than cotton raising. the handling of tho
crop by the warcbo,isemen will nay better.
II will be the province OF the Business
League, under a resolution introduced the
other day. TO canvass through a commit
tee the business sentiment here In the
premises and TO show to local capital the
pcShhlc advantages and profits to accrue
from tho projected enterprise. The league
is not interested further than to get local
capital to act and thus further the COM
mercial interests OF Houston. why not
the wealthy tobacco growers combine with
Houston capital in this enterprise,
II is necessary. as suggested however,
that what is done should be done quickly. |
Houston may through delay find itself |
forestalled to its cost, TO say nothing Of |
the necessity for the immediate encour-
agement OF the industry.
