light Procession---Crowd Kept
OF the Piers.

Saiveston Texas, August s-A grand
demonstration occurred as the - Nortc ar.
rived mere this morning. This is the nrei
ship Of the New York.Galveston service or
the Southern Pacific. which has so long
been looked for She arrived gaily be-
deeked with nags and bunting and was
greeted with booming cannon. whistles of
all conceivable kinds, bands OF music ana
cheers from thousands of people who mad
gathered TO receive her. II was an occa-
sion well worth celebrating inasmuch as
means the commencement OF the real
advancement OF the port Of Galveston. A
great deal has been said about the re
markable way In which Galveston recu-
pcratcd after he storm and truly the state.
menls In this regard We're well fouuued
Tor seldom have a people shown forth the
courage. patience, strength, enrnestness or
purpose which has been exhibited by the
residents Of Galveston since the great dis
aster' These people, however, are not sat
ished TO recuperate only but are bent on
pushing forward until THIS port becomes
the greatest IN the South, Ii Is the nat.
ural outlet FOR the commerce not only or
the State of Texas hui OF the entire West
therefore there Is good reason 70 believe
that the ambitions OF Galveston Will be
realized. IN the development OF the port or
Galveston the state of Texas at large Is
also Interested and has manifested this in
terest by donating a portion OF the taxes
this city Further aid is expected from
this source and viii come in time. In time
also Texas viii be repaid FOR her outlay
by the increased valuation of property here
and the natural increase OF its taxable
value. II will be repaid also In that a
great port 40 near the producing nelds
enable farmers and interior buyers TO Sc
cure more for their produce, as the cost
OF transportation to the markets OF the
world is greatly reduced by the proximity
OF the seaboard.
The fact that the great Southern Pacific
system has recognized that the port of Cal
weston Is what its residents have always
claimed. Is indeed a great victory for cal
weston and viii be of untold benefit, botn
directly and indirectly.
These facts are thoroughly realized here
and the celebration was an enthusiastic
expression of the feelings of all well wish
Crs Of Galveston.
1t was exactly e.27 o'clock when the hrst
line from the III Norte reached pier y Of
