TOWN BUILDING.
Paper Read by Colonel y. L. Mills of
Houston.


Houston.
Colonel N. L. Mills OF Houston, Texas
spoke as follows:
am one OF those who believe that In
Texas our best attention should be given TO
the development of the country, as the
town in nine cases out OF ten will take care
OF itself but in the newer sections OF the
United States it appears that the cour-
ageous speculator has been necessity and
that many sections OF the country have
been populated only by starting town.
In laying out new town the protector
should be absolutely honest and should
promise nothing that Will not be carried
out for the first failure means disaster
not only 10 himself but to each and every
one OF his clients. Texas has been benefit
ed in the building of new towns where
they We're necessary. but il has been
greatly injured through towns started by
spectators who had no other idea than the
sale OF a few lots, skimmlng the cream
as II were, and leaving their customers
with the bag TO hold.
In building a new town in the agrieul-
tural section, one farm in the vicinity of
that town Is worth more than two resi-
dences In the town itself and the first la
bor- employing industry located is Of more
benefit than half DOZEN hotels and stores.
In a new community a factory that gives
steady employment 10 twenty-five people
Is OF more benefit than $4,000 opera
house, and in the last twenty years that has
been frequently demonstrated TO the sor-
row OF great many OF our people.

The following paper was read before
the Texas Real Estate association at
Waco, Texas, June II, by Mrs. BEETLE
Bryan OF Houston;
The question that presents itself to me
as being OF primary Importance TO the

of organization. First, an organization
to embrace the entire State in one grand
real estate association, and second, the
organization Of local associations al all
points where there are real estate dealers
and brokers in sufficient numbers to
justify such combination.

| building is one OF the chief sources oil
revenue and when country Is sparsely
settled IL is a good idea not to have the
towns too close together, for AFTER the
country becomes people and, OF course
prosperous and productive, little towns
will spring up wherever the necessity ue-
mands.
Leaving the primitive stage OF town
building, let me say to you that after tne
city or town passes the experimental stage
that its growth depends largely upon me
energy of its own population. II the lale
capital of the cities Of Houston, Dallas
San Antonio. Galveston. Fort Worth, Waco,
Austin and some four or five other Texas
cities could be put into factories, the
money invested would bring much greater
returns than that which is loaned out, or
worse still, stacked up in the banks.
In town building look first to the schools
and churches, for good morals ana educa-
ton are necessary to substantial growth
Encourage diversified industries. Arrange
to keep your people busy. Don't 90 be-
yond your means. Don't start au electric
street railway before there is people
enough to support it. Don't hurry up TO
burden the people with electric lights,
gas works or other expensive lu1uries IN
I'll they are able to carry such burdens.
Build your town safely and surely Don't
be a mossback, and don't be a reckless
boomer. American cities grow i'll plunges.
That Is true OF New York with San Fran
CISCO and even with stage old Philadel-
phia In the growth of your town there
will be an opportunity for it to plunge.
Take advantage of the situation and have
1t grow in all departments at one and the
same time. The boom that hurts is the
boom in any one special department..
Don't build too many houses, for an empty
building is always an obstacle to the
growth of any town
AS said in the beginning, be honest in
your work and in building a town never
make nromises that can moi be kent

Interesting Views Prepared f"r Real
Estate Meeting AT Waco.
Commissioner of Agriculture Johnson
wrote as follows:
The subject you have assigned me to dis
cuss is OF such grand and universal i'm
portance that | realize fully my inability
to do IT Justice. more especially in the
limited space and time at my service.
You know 1t Is much easier TO ask
questions than 1t is 10 answer them, yet
the great question before u.s. How can
we be relieved from our present agrieul-
tural depression" and the man wno can
solve that question Will be greater than
he wno conqueretn city" | do not pro-
TESS to be the man. but / contribute my
mite. IN my opinion, the diversity OF
crops is one OF the clews 20 the situation,
for | am a firm believer in the old adage
that God helps those VINO try to help
themselves and ii every farmer would see
TO it that the farm produced everything
needed on the farm that could be produced
and only SOW such acreage to cotton as ne
can spare after providing Ia the most ample
manner for all home needs then this peo-
pie would see the days when the country
would be grown with a harvest of plenty
that would make the heart glad.
II is impossible to raise cotton at
cents per pound and purchase the neces-
adlS supplies W mdhd III from the ueluS a
thousand miles away; this proposition will
not be questioned. This being true, our duty
Is plain-make the supplies at home and
raise less cotton.
Texas stands head and shoulders above
any other State OF this great Nation for
in natural resources she is practically with
out limit. Agriculture, commerce, manu-
featuring and mining are the great ele-
ments OF material progress. for agriculture
she has bread and rich plains of sol! un-
surpassed for commerce, she has more
miles of railroads than any State in the
Union except two-Pennsylvania and Illi-
nois-and besides, she has the gulf, with
deep water opening to the world for the
products of the land Mining is in its in
fancy, but will be developed at the proper
time; manufacturing also, as population in
creases will rise up like magic. for we
have the raw material al hand. Texas Is
larger in territory than the six New Eng
land States, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana
combined-is larger than the empire OF
/ France and Portugal combined and those
two nations support a population Of over
10000, 600 and Texas has about 5000 600,
With such immense resources, and a CHI
mate not surpassed on earth, why should
not Texas lead all States and not trail AFTER
as we are now doing?
( II will probably interest you to know
/ what other States are doing in the interest
/ at agriculture, so that you can compare
! the efforts made by others as well as
| ourselves for advanced positions upon this
! subject of universal Importance The fol-
