San Antonio, Dec. IA Dutch
colony to grow tobacco in Texas, and
new railroad to be built by Dutch
capital to haul it out Is the plan of
d. P. Weidermann, the head of a
Dutch syndicate interested in lands
in the Gulf Coast country south of
San Antonio, He is now in this city
accompanied by Won Bloeman Waan-
des, a civil engineer from Holland,
Interested with the Dutch syndicate
are local capitalists here, from Vic
toria and Houston. Mr.. Wierder-
mann, who is consul general in
the service of his country, believes
that from his Investigations of the
tobacco lands of Texas that the fa
nous Sumatra leaf tobacco grown
so successfully by the Hollanders
can be introduced into the Gulf
Coast of Texas. Owing to the long
transportation and heavy import du'
ties on this foreign grown leaf there
is big profit in home production.
The syndicate interested in this pro-
iect, it is understood. will take over
the partially built Port O'Connor,
Rio Grande and Northern Railroad
and their plans contemplate the con-
struction of a deep water port at
Port O'Connor on the Gulf below
