tliat as much water could be obtained
for $2.000 000 at the bar a^ could be ob-
tained elsewhere for live or twe’ve mil-
lion dollars. What more could be ex
peeted? Is the commercial and indus-
trial business such as to justify the cre-
ation of a port at Brazos Santiago?
Let us see. we are generating today in
the Lower Rio (Jrande valley 500.000 tons
•per year. Wlial of the contiguous terri-
tory? What of the import and export
throwgh the international bridge with
Mexico?
Statistical tables are ready to be pre-
sented to our engineer. Colonel Richie
when he visits this section.
In my opinion it will remain to vali-
date that this port will Iwmefit more ter
ritorv in the Cnited States outside of
Texas than in it.
I want to be perfectly understood that
this deep water port at Brazos Santi-
ago is not a local or selfish proposition.
I want it understood that we have one
million acres of lalul subject to irriga-
tion and a half million more in the ar-
tesian belt and that much more in the
dry farming country. These lands can
be made to produce two and a half tons
of dry market material per acre and we
an* not asking any help to do this. What
we want is the facility to reach the mar-
ker.
When our farmers want to ship to the
New York market a ton of truck produce
or fruit it cost $1S per ton. It costs $12.
^11 and $H> dollars to St. Louis. Kansas
City and Chicago. To <lalveston and
Houston it costs $T». 10 to $7 per ton.
The beneficial effects of a port at Bra-
zos Santiago arc many. In the first place
it would relieve the entire section that is
now suffering from lack of transporta-
tion facilities and would enable the far-
mer to move his stuff without unreason-
able delay. This section faces a condi
Your Telephone Expert
The switchboard operator who answers roar telephone call has a mission in
life—her mission is to serve yon. She lias at her linger tips the most modern
telephone equipment in the world. Quickness accuracy and courtesy arc her
essential qualifications.
Frequently she is called to act in emergencies when courage and pres-
ence of mind are required.
It is as essential to good telephone service that each Hell Telephone oper-
ator should be healthy and happ\ as it is that cmt\ part of the equipment of
that great intercommunicating system should be in good working order.
In the Bell system 70.000 ojs*rators make eouueetious which furnish clear
tracks for 200000000 telephone talks each day.

turn today wliitfi only time patience and
the expenditure of money can'remedy.
The traffic in the Lower Va’Igy* |ias
grown in the last live years to 80000 tons
and with assistance it will grow to over
a million tons.
There is no doubt that we have a fav-
orable report from the C. S. engineer as
to its engineering feasibility what we
need is to get before them the commercial
advisability.
The amount of basic production in the
Lower Bio (Jr«mde \ alley today is a
bril’iunt forecast of what will follow
deep water at Brazos Santiago.
Then* is something else besides math-
ematical calculations that enter into
sound judgment (’old careful practical
ltK'n look into the future and altempt to
exploit the tie d that has hitherto been
untrodden and come to that judgm’ent
with a large measure of faith and imag-
ination placed in the combination to ar-
rive at the result.
Edison dreamed of his triumphs of
electricity long before there was a reali-
zation..
In the report of Major Howell. 1000.
he says ‘ it is conservatively estimated by
a gentVman who has given the question
of commercial shipping much thought
that the saving by water transportation
will be three dollars per ton.*' I am of
tlx* opinion that he has rather underes-
timated the saving. Continuing Major
Howell says that although 1he cost of
getting water rates would be high it
would be justified by the resultant sav-
ing.
Taking into consideration alone the
three items of sugar coitnn and incom-
ing freight the saving is .folio000 yearly
offsetting the cost of moving the freight
from points in the valley by the saving
of other articles raised in the valley and
the probable trade with Mexico this fi
gure of $505 000 may be used as a basis
to determine whether the improvement
would be a profitable business propo
sition for the United States.
