BIG DEAL FOR HOUSTON
The Old Flour MlII Property Sold for a Blk
Rice Plant.
"a RICE MILL WILL &c p5l IN AT ONCE
Houston Secures a Big Industry for
the Opening Of the New Year.
The Transaction.

The recent gradual movement westward
OF the rice growing industry Of this coun.
try has attracted great deal Of attention
OF late to Southeast Texas and has been
productive OF great deal OF DEVELOPMENT
OF land that was hitherto not regarded as
being capable OF producing rice.
With the development OF the rice farms
comes very naturally the installation OF
mills to convert the product to market
able commodity, just as cotton oil mills
seek for their locality points nearest the
source OF supply.
Gustave Jain & Co. OF New York arc
probably the most extensive rice millers
,Ipon this continent They have string
of mills located throughout the rice pro
ducing section, among them large plant
at New Orleans and another at Lake
Charles.
To meet tho western movement Of the
rice industry Mr.. a. G. jain, the senior
member of the firm OF Gustave jain & Co.
OF New York, has been in Texas for
week or more looking for location for
the establishment OF another large mill.
and while very promising overtures were
made him from Eagle Lake, Beaumont
and Galveston Mr.. jain decided to look
over the Houston field before determining
upon location, and though he was fol-
lowed here yesterday by two prominent
citizens OF Galveston in an effort to close
deal that would secure the plant for CAL
weston, Mr.. jain was evidently more ia
yorsbly impressed with the advantages Of
Houston, as evidenced by the fact that he
Yesterday closed deal with Mrs. Bette
BRYAN for the purchase OF the old -four
mill property. located at the corner of
Third and Railway strests, IN the First
ward jus+ opposite the American brew
sry and adjoining Heuke's warehouse.
This property, embracing seven lots and a
thres-story brick building, belonged to
Mrs Caroline Latham and was sold for
$4,000. The deal was made by Mrs. Bette
Bryan, to whose credit It may be said that,
in order to accomplish the sale and bring
the parties together upon an agreed price
and rather than have Houston lose the
opportunity OF securing such an enterprise
when other cities were bidding 30 literally
for II, she practically sacrificed her com.
mission as condition necessary To clos.

Another application of Judge Shelf
fields antidote for vagrancy is needed
in Dawson. There are a number OF
negroes about the city who have no
means of support and are never known
to work. In any community where va
grants are found at this busy season
the blame for their idleness and conse-
ouent indigency can be laid at their
own door. Farmers all over the county
are offering fair wages, and if the laws
against vagrancy were enforced the
farmers fields and the whole country
would be benefited. There are some
