deeper water at Galveston than New Or
leans has and the Importance OF our Texas
ports Is fully recognized The unanimous
Endorsement OF the congress for the APP
preparation TO open up Buffalo bayou is
certainly not only gratifying to the Hous-
ton delegation, but to the people OF Texas.
~
Mr.. D. b. Stancliff: Texas has great
cause to be proud of her delegation to the
Transmississlppl commercial congress at
Wichita. In the first place, II was the
most conspicuous delegation present, and
was composed OF a fine looking body OF
business men. From the opening of the
congress to the close, Texas attracted the
greatest attention. and the congress was
composed of the most prominent men from
all the States and Territories west OF the
Mississippi river The perfect accord and
unison with which the Texas delegation
worked was source of much pride and
good feeling on the part OF the members
Houston and Galveston and other Texas
cities pulled together, and why should
they not? Every ship thai comes to Gal
weston will make Houston richer and
every vessel that lands at Houston VIII
benefit Galveston in the same proportion.
There is more commerce to be secured
than both of these cities can handle and in
a united effort they viii be more apt TO
secure al much as each can take care OF.
/ No one doubts but that in union there is
strength. and why should there be an
/ exception to the rule in this case? In my
opinion there Is none. Houston went
there with such vim and determination
4 that it completely captured the congress
and right from the start il was a common
expression from the delegates that Hous
ton can get anything she wants,
Great credit is due TO the ladies of the
] TlNaS dplppDttnn for the gnlpD1i1 work
done by them and for the splendid speech
Z delivered By Hon Presley X. Ewing, but
the greatest belongs to Mr.. Tom Rich
ardson secretary of the Houston Business
League for collection and concentration
OF these irresistible forces.

Perhaps the most important question be-
fore the Transmississippi commercial cou-
gress was that relating to deeper harbors
and facilities on the gulf coast. The West
has reached the conclusion that its outlet
lies in this direction. The action OF
Houston in sending TO the congress the
representation IL did has done more to
furthe- the interests of Texas and the en-
tire South sSan positively was ever done
before by one action. The selection of
Houston as the place OF the next meeting
was a fitting one for all the States and
Territories Of the West. Representatives
who hitherto have not been familiar with
conditions existing in the South and in all
the gulf cities viii 90 before congress
asking for assistance To develon the coast

) all the people in that country and as
result thereby increasing he business re-
: lations between the more Northern States
: aud those OF the South. resulting in O.
