drive rag-time music entirely out OF

the wharves. In addition to being the
country's greatest cotton port, immense
quantities Of grain, lumber, live stock
and dairy products are sent through
Galveston. Much Of the grain from
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and the Da-
kotas, which formerly went to Eastern
ports for shipment now goes to Calves
ton because the shippers can save In
charges by loading at that port. The
lumber exports in 1899 amounted to
,914 and in 1899, the port handled
100000 worth of eggs. Its trade in
live stock, dairy products and poultry
has developed rapidly since the harbor
improvements.
Location and Description.
Galveston is situated on the northeast
extremity of Galveston Island at the
mouth of Galveston Bay, the entrance
to which is through the channel be-
tween the city and the southwest point
Of the peninsula of Bolivar. The island
is twenty-seven miles long, runs north
east and southwest, and is from one
and one-half to three and one-half miles
wide. Where the city is built 1t is one
and one-half miles wide. 1t is inter-
sected with many small bayous and
bordered through its whole length on
the gulf side by smooth, hard beach.

The loss and waste through negli-
.gence is Incompatible. The mechani-
scal genius and business energy of our
age is devoted in large measure to the
economies of doing things. If any one
shall say that inventions in machinery
have reached the limit, which is far
from a safe prediction, no one can say
that the occupation of making men
has reached the limit. Men, as never
before, are necessity of business.

Galveston, previous to the devasta-

South. Its history indicates that it has
been one of the most unfortunate. In

city was swept away by a tidal wave

History of the City.

The island of Galveston was occupied
by the famous pirate LATTE in 1917
and continued to be his headquarters
until his settlement was broken up in
1921. 1t is believed by many that
somewhere on the island are buried
treasures Of the pirate and many
stories of romance have been woven
about the daring rover and his island
home. The city of Galveston was
founded in 1887. 1t was the scene OF
stirring events during the Civil War.
The Federal forces occupied the city
Oct. s, 1862, but it was retaken by the
Confederates on Jan. 1, 1868. During
the past few years the United States
has spent 1920 in the construt ton
and equipment of coast Notifications
near the city.
Bay of Galveston.
The bay of Galveston, the mouth of
which is guarded by the island on
which the city stands as a sentinel, is
a body of water with an area of about
$50 square miles. 1t has an irregular
coast line and branches out into various
arms. 1t receives the San Jacinto and
Trinity rivers and Buffalo Bayou. Ow-
ing to the island being but little higher
than the bay, foundations have often
been threatened. The bay is quite shall

water channel and fianking 1t on either
side are the stone jetties five miles long.

which followed a terrific storm that
aged along the Gulf coast for three
lays. When the city had recovered
rom this calamity and was built up
n more beautiful and substantial style
than ever, a devastating fire nearly de-
stroyed it in November, 1885. Its en-
terprising citizens were not dismayed,
however. and the city was soon rebuilt.
In August, 1899, it was injured COM
mercially to a great extent by the Bra
zos flood in which rich farming lands
having an area of 1,3S0,O0O acres We're
submerged for eight days to depth of
two to twenty feet. The loss as esti-
mated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture was $7,414,0 900.
The city has triumphed over all these
adversities and will doubtless arise
with increased strength from the pres

tenn Of the United States and Mexico

A leading cause of the city's great
commercial progress during the past
few years is the harbor Improvements

improvements which were finished in
