spent the last two months in Houston,
said These cool, pleasant summer
evenings and nights, with breezes from
the gulf make 1t delightful living in this
climate. In Chicago we have, perhaps, two
months in the year similar to what the
people in the gull region enjoy nearly all
the time So far this summer climste is
much better than l anticipated. The i'm

by far the greater advantage for control-

Today the johhers OF Houston have widen
ed their sphere of operations to such an
sxtent that they now supply goodly Sec

paints, drugs, preserves, etc. Houston has
been able to invade the field so long
dominated by st. Louis aud North

chearening of transportation charges
in Texas and the adjustment OF
rates that will follow the Introduction OF
imports via the gulf route, Houston will be
IN position. NOT only to command the trade
of Texas. but to meet the Northern jobhers
at point far Forth OF that now reached

and on July 2S the board made per-
sonal examination OF the water route
between Houston and the Galveston
ietties. This water route is NIFTY nine
and three-fourths miles long. and Is
naturally divided into two distinct
parts--first. the portion from the Jet
ties to the Morgan canal; second, the
part between the Morgan canal and
the city OF Houston. The hrst section
Is through the open waters OF Calves
ston bay and Morgan channel, and is
twenty five and one-half miles in
length. The second section passes
through San Jacnto bay, and the river

distance OF eight and three-fourths
miles thence up Buffalo bayou TO

and one-half miles. A sketch show
ing the route is submitted herewith.
The rapid development OF the re-
sources of Texas. Oklahoma. Kansas,
Colorado and New Mexico has for
many years made the establishment
OF irst-class harbor on the gulf
coast. west OF New Orleans, q neces-
sity. This necessity has been recog-
nized by congress, and liberal appro-
priatlons have been made for num-
Der of years. which have finally re-
suited in the successful opening OF
channel OF magnificent proportions
across two bars at Galveston, giving
access to an excellent harbor in Gal
weston bay. This result has cost the
country many millions of dollars, and
has introduced a new factor in the
problem OF It's prosperity the full

Buffalo bayou is an important fac
tor In the utilization Of this improved
entrance to Galveston bay The city
OF Houston. at the head OF uayiga-
ton. is an important railroad center,
where fourteen roads converge, and
through 1t passes annually a vast com
merce seeking the markets of the
world Much OF this. coming from
points in the interior, passes through
Houston to some more distant port of
shipment. but much OF It leaves the
railroad ut this point and is shipped

More than 500. 900 bales OF cotton have
recently been shipped by this route
In o single year a conservative esti-
mate would place at 100000 per an
mum the direct saving in freight on
produce shipped via the Galveston en-
trance which would result from such
an Improvement of this waterway as
Is contemplated in the act under which
this board Is convened This saving OF
$500 600 in freight would alone justify
an Improvement of This magnitude, as
It amounts TO more than The probable
cost OF maintenance and the interest
on the estimated first cost OF The work.
The board is, however. OF the opinion
that the saving on the freight ac-
mally using the Galveston entrance Is
but small measure OF the value Of
