New Texas Industry.

A new industry has been in
augurated in Texas in the manufac-
ture of wrapping paper out of the
pulp of the yellow pine. The
Yellow Pine Paper Company OF
Orange shipped few days ago its
first carload and has orders for
future delivery in rapid succession.
While the greater portion OF Tex
as is either treeless or has only
timber of small growth, suitable
for commercial purposes, the
eastern counties of the State border
ing on Louisiana have extensive
pine forests, from which large
quantities of lumber have for many
wears been sawed and shipped
throughout the State and to North
ern points. While the new indus
try IS another indication OF the
rapid growth of manufactures in
Texas, if it proves as successful as
predicted, unless the refuse of the
tree alone after taking off the saw
logs is utilized for paper making,
it will add greatly to the process
of denuding the State of its timber
growth. With the already heavy
draft upon It by the lumber indus
try and with no provision for
reproducing the forests, this addi-
tional tax upon them would greatly
.ha stem their extinction. 1t is in
guarding against such waste that
an intelligent forestry system can
render economical service to the
State.-Louisville Courier Journal.

Chance for Home Capital.

One of Brownsville most press
ing needs is large, modern and
thoroughly up-to-date hotel build
ing. This is an improvement
which should be made by local
capital, but in the event of home
enterprise failing our citizens
should use every effort 10 induce
outside capital to undertake the
work. Nothing tends to create a
more favorable impression upon
visitors in town than a good
hotel. and, on the other hand,
nothing detracts more from the
reputation of town than the lack
of proper hotel facilities. 1t is a
deplorable fact that Brownsville IS
at present far behind most towns
of her size in this state i'll the
matter of hotel buildings. With
our superb winter climate and
many other attractions both natural
and social, all that is needed to
make Brownsville on the lower Rio
Grande the ideal winter resort is a
fine we'll equipped and thoroughly
up-to-date hotel. Here IS an OPP
portunity for some of our local
capitalists those who have made
their fortunes right here in dear
old Brownsville-to take a step
which will not only rebound to the
benefit of the town. but must also
prove a paying investment and at
same time serve to identity the
name of the builder with the per
manelt progress and improvement
of the town.

THE COTTON QUESTION.
Interview With W. F. Sprssue. Of La
Coma. ELECTS Some Interesting Facts
Anent the Cotton Situation.

In conversation this morning
with w. F. Spragne, Of La Coma,
a HERALD representative took oc-
casion to make special inquiry
regarding the cotton crop in that
section. The gentleman tells us
he has glnned and will gin by the
close of the season some $50 bales
of cotton, a considerable increase
over last seasons crop. Asked as
to the probable increase for the
coming year Mr.. Sprague said he
thought a conversative estimate
would place the increase at 200
per cent over this year, in the sec
ton this side the sand. - Mr..
Sprague three years ago received
six sacks of Kings Early Improved
cotton from the department, some
of which he planted, the balance
being distributed along the river
farms, in the middle land and also
in the sand. The gentleman very
closely observed the results and
was thoroughly convinced that
Kings Early Improved, was the
cotton for this country Then
began the search for pure seed
which Mr.. Sprague said was quite
an undertaking. He at last sue
ceeded in locating the seed IN North
Carolina, and ordered a carload.
Mr.. Sprague says Gil account of
the plant being small the boil wee
vii does not thrive so well in this
cotton, that pest being particularly
sensitive to the hot sun, and find
ing very little shade is unable to
get in his best work. The lint of
this cotton is especially fine, the
staple averaging over 81 per cent.
Some FARMERS do not like the Kings
Early Improved variety, and the
Mexicans are averse to it on &C
count of the small bolls, the seed |
being also exceptionally small. Oil
men complain too, of the small
seed, but farmers in general do |
lot grow cotton for the express |
benefit of oil mill people, and |
heir objections amount to very
title Mr.. Sprague is very en-
husiastic over the cotton situation,
md his FIVE years experience as
yinner and cotton grower has Civ
N him opportunities for correctly
Judging the status of an industry
which THE HERALD believes is
destined to become one of the lead
ng crops of this section.

TO GROW RICE AT TA&PlCO.
Houston Men Have About made Arrange
ments-Pian Is to Supply the Amer
lean Demand for Seed Rice.

Tanpico, Mex, Dec. 24-W.
d. Green and c. W. Rice, two
we'll known citizens of Houston,
Texas, are here looking for several
thousand acres of good rice land.
Their intention is TO form COM
pany, plant the rice in this part
of Mexico and supply the United
States demand for seed rice. The
scheme is a novel one so far as
this part of Mexico is concerned.
1t is understood that the company
is already practically organized
and that the needed capital has
already 5een subscribed.
Both men it is understood, have
been engaged in the rice business
and know it from beginning to
end. They have made arrange
ments for looking over the most
desirable locations in this section.
They will leave for the Tamiahua
Lagoon country on the steamer
Bertha. There are many parts of
Northern Vera Cruz Immediately
contiguous to the lagoon which
are eminentlv fitted for rice cul-
tivation, and it is these lands
which have attracted them. They
will also examine into the merits
of several propositions IN Tamau-
lipas. The section about Tampi
co was selected on account of the
excellent opportunities for trans
porting the seed rice to United
States ports nearest to the source
of demand.
II is well known that under
favorable conditions rice is a good
paying proposition in Mexico, as
well as further north. 1t is also
said that the demand for rice for
home consumption in the United
States has increased in amazing
proportions and out of all prece
dent. The field for its usefulness,
it is said, has also been enlarged
on account of the discovery of sew
eral new uses.
On account of its many agricul-
tural, transportation, industrial
and climatic advantages Tampico
and the parts contiguous to it are
attracting much attention from
outsiders, particularly American
investors. The resources Of the
section have harly been touched
and the establishment of improved
communication and transportation
TO outside districts, together with
improved methods of doing things,
will bring on an era OF improve
ment and advancement never be-
fore recorded.

Other papers give the date of

fact that Shinnston friends and

of dollars to keep him out Of trouble

Owing to the circumstances the
Wheeling authorities hardly, know
what to do with Smith. The charge
against hi mthere is small, but if he
is a forger and is wanted elsewhere,
they feel that they cannot well con.

thoughts of his mother and sisters
