AN IMPORTANT LETrEK
To be Submitted to th Commercial
Club- Col. Chas. A Edwards
Urges Texas.Representa-
tlon For Brazos
Navigation.
Col S H Pope who was secretary
of the old board ol trade has receivca
k lefer from Col. Chas A. KJwardj.
ol Vela-oo third assistant sucretar)
of tho Trims-Mississippi (Joniuieroini
Congress The letter has been handed I
to Mr. Higgtns president ol tho aco
CotninrrLinl Club.
It calls attention to tho fact thai
tho Trans Mississippi Comm-roial
Cong-es- meets on April X'4 h ht
Otden Utah and urgf-s the ueoe-si y
ot having Texas in general and Waco
and thi- t-eotion represented theie.
Col Edwards urges that as tht
congress will meet lor tno brst time
beyond the "Great Divide" TiXiS
should send a large delegation to meei
the sister states of tho "slope" and
endeavor to interest them in s-ecunng
national legislation bejcficial to th.
ontiro wost; and as Texas is the boau
ftciary of buch legislation it i-huuid
show its appreciation of the former
work of this congress and endeavor
to keep up the good work and sond h
delegation to tho nest meeting second
to no stato in point of numbers and
ability.
The basis of representation is ao
fallows: The governor of each btdte
at d territoiy Iihs a right to appoint
ten delegates. The county juogs 01
county oommisbiooers may appoint
ono dclegato trorn ech county. I he
mayors of all towti3 and cuiei Select
one delegate for eaoh 5000 peop.e or
fractional pirt thereof. All cummer
cial bodies in all towns aud citks uiy
appoint the satno number us tht
mayor. The list of c immcrcial bodies-
ircludes oharabers of oomtnerne real
cstato exohauges produce exi lunges
cotton OKchanges each of whioh oan
be represented by as many dclegato
as tho oity from which thov come is
entitled to. Transportation compa-
nies whether rail or otherwise are
entitled to one delegate each.
At the congress all questions iffeot
irg the west sooh as irngtion arid
lands navigation of our s'reams har-
bors on tho gulf coast Pacit'u ooust
and tho Nicarauga canal and other
matters will be discussed.
At tho meettnp; of tho "Waoo Com-
mercial Club next Tuesdty uiprht the
matter will be submitted to the mem
bers for consideration. Col. Edwards
thinks Waoo thould bo represented
with a delegation at the congress and
it may bo added that as the rjicstion
of navigating streams will be consid-
ered it would bo well fjr a strong
delegation from the people living along
tho counties through which the Brazib
river flows to present the olaims of
that stream.
Cholera in Pennsylvania
Swiekley Ponn.: Wo had an epi-
demio of cholera as our physicians

and was a big advertisement lor me

Wo had rathiT see tho country
farmer rolling in 0 Wnco with lu-
jeans breeches on with a balo of cot
t n uiidr him ami hw family in the
waiioti with him than to sie tho "big
bug'' come roiling into Waoo in a
Pa a to Pullman oar with his dude
c it breeches and under him a mK
plush Peat with a diamond stud in
mis hhirilront. The country tellows
tne in business the '"big ting'' often
meats dead be.ui-m means "we
want t-onio of you lellows to lick our
bonis ''
Ga the idea?
The old siing we believe in "A
good baru will bu Id a dwelling and
inako rich your farm." A tine duel
in; will not niakuthc barn not enrich
the f.irm
l'bo idea is simple 'ou cannot
mako a t.irm produotivo with a big
houso OSI.V Applied to Wuco. wo
cannot build up a city without trade
Muiinest fust show atttrwauh. Wc
riud rather see a hundred men and
women carrying baskets and tin
buckets than livu hundrud men carry-
ing grios and samples. Tho first
means money coming into Wuco; ttie
ccond means money going out of
A aco.
A Htory Applied.
A certain man supposed to bo a big
bug heard of a prophet. Tho "big
mig" was diseased with camels and
-cnants and gold and silver with
bin chariots ho proceeded to this
prophet Ho wanted to be cured in
a big way. Tho prophet said "G
lathe sometimes in Jordan." Nt !
Nj! taid tho '-big bu." "That will
not do I tin one ol your big fellows
.md deuMiid 'bu; hut;' treatment "
Oneot his sonants suggested that if
ihe prophet had advit-ed some big
treatment tho "big bug" would have
teadilv ncoeptcd. I'hc It How "col tho
dei" did as was suggested and was
healed "bathed in Jordan."
S mo ''big buns" in Waco seem to
ihmk a free wagon yaui too small a
thing for mirohauts bankers and lead
iiit; men in Waco to tackle. Nu! No!
e all ought to ddl in altitudes lati-
tudet plaii'U'lcs and dig into tho ras
of tho sun at d see how much salt is
here! Waco needs bu-iuesol and if
high sounding thingo uld bo btartt d
that would bring ono-fourth as much
'rade to Wuco as the free wagon yard
e-ome ot these big bugs would bo on
tire any time. The pale light of a
flickering moon beam would strike
them! Ever since tho urcat smallpox
s -are in Waco and sinoo tho electric
cars have taken all our principal streets
Waco has been loot-it g her retail
trade Ten years ago Waco received
fji) 000 bales of cotton lust joar about
Hi.llUO What become of tho iiu.OOO
by wagon? Oh you say "wo havo
more iailroid-t more towns." Ves
and we havo proporti inatoly more
people to feed and m iko a living in
Waco and more people to plant and
grow cotton
We mtiht offer something in lieu of
til thoe things Rulroads alono will
not bring our trade back to us.
Iluudreds of little things must be
done. The free wagon yard will do
more than any other ono thing. Let
tho "big bugs" ol Waoo como down
trom their chariot and batho in Jot-
den Tho Waco Trading company can
furnish the big bug or the little bug's

merchants ought not give the
Santa Fo railway company ono
pound ol f nights. Tho Waco Trad-

it can help it as leng as we have roads
(pending money in Waoo.
Again there is not a railroad run-
ning into Waco today which today
treats Waco with that consideration
her irnportanco demands and justifies.
We play second fiddle to 6Uon places
