Rotarian Here.

What Is happening In San An.

on, Of course, a smaller SCALE" said
Charles z. Wolcott, oil man Of Lar.
edo and a member Of the Laredo Ro.
tsry Club, who Is in San Antonio
with Mrs. Wolcott to attend the dis
trict convention. They are guests at
the st. Anthem.
Laredo is expanding in every d.
rection, we have no vacant homes or
business houses, trade is excellent and
the spring rains have put 1.-THE entire
district in excellent shape.
Our onion growers, who produce
the finest Bermuda onions on the
American market, are engaged in their
spring harvest. The fields are dotted
with laborers harvesting the onions
and they are moving to market in
carlots daily.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
There is big ranch and livestock
Territory tributary to Laredo, and the
cattlemen tell me that not in years,
have prospects been so bright. The
early crop of weeds and grasses put
the stock in fine condition. water holes
are full and the outlook is for one OF
the best years in that industry we
have ever had.
Business with Mexico, which
passes through Laredo from both d.
rections is setting new peak figures
and is gaining constantly. The oil
situation. in which i am personally
interested, looks better to me in the
great Miranda district than ever be-
fore and / have been associated with
these fields since the earliest develop
ment. In the opinion Of our leading
oil men, we will have the greatest oil
development in Webb, Zspata, Duval
and Jim Hogg counties in the next
12-months ever known there.
ACREAGE EXTENSIVE.
@Proven acreage is now sufficient

Thousands of new people are COM
ing in and the travel via Laredo 10
and from Mexico Is more extensive |
than we have ever known before. Our
hotel accommodations have been about |
doubled in the last few years yet they
are always full, attesting to the gains |
we are making in attracting newcom- |

Zone Of the interesting features Of |
our district just now Is the trend |
towards citrus culture. Many thou |

There are orange trees in the yards
at Laredo many years old that have

Laredo has a big future in this indus.
