A Bright Outlook.

La Porte. Texas, is nov attracting
the attention of the business men of
the United States and during 1900
great interest will be manifested in It
Owing to an advantageous natural To-
cation it is destined to enjoy a growth
in commercial manufacturing and
shipping interests which millions Of
dollars in advertising and years Of en-
ergetic promotion could not give it
were it not so favored by nature. Men
Of affairs with large experience in the
upbuilding Of cities are predicting a
future for La Porte which if but half
realized will make it the greatest sea-
port on the Gulf of Mexico and indeed
one Of the principal seapOrts OF the
United States as well as city Of great
importance in the manufacturing, rail-
road and commercial world. 1t is at
the head of Galveston Bay in the cele-
brated coast country of Texas and has
a summer and winter climate which
makes it a resort for travellers the year
round. The farming land surrounding
it is as fine as 2-sy IL the United
States.

treat, thus drawing a portion of the
