ted their superior adaptability as cane
lands and are beyond the stage of experi-
ment. Some very satisfactory results
have been obtained in several experi-
mental tests on lands between Galveston
and Houston, and it is largely to this
section that I address this communica-
tion.
“If the farmers of the main land would
plant, say 10 to 20 acres, in cane they would
find a ready market for it (as cut from the
field) at either Sugarland, Sartartia or
Arcola refineries, to which point the rail-
roads would no doubt give low rates of.
freight to encourage the industry and
build up the territory.
“In Louisiana there are many planting

on small farms and sent to refineries,
such as that of Cunningham. The loca-
tion of the Cunningham plant is not good
for the farmers of the territory in which
we are most concerned. To reach Sugar-
land some of the cane would have to1 pass
over two or three riUlrOiads. That in
Lseif Is a serious proposition. To send
cane raised on lands near Galveston to
Sugarland is like forcing water up stream.
' If we had a fine, well equipped refinery
at some central, competitive point, from
which the railroads radiate, say Virginia
Point for instance, the matter would be
simplified. Then the farmers could be
assured of comparatively good rates and
they would have the benefits that result
from competition. In addition they would
be relieved of the expense of sending their
product up hill in order to get it down hill.
“‘This railroad obstacle is the one that
must be met and overcome before the
sugar question is to be solved for the
coast country. I am not an expert in
sug'ar matters and whatever information
I have on the subject, is derived from the
men in this city who are better acquainted
with that business, but I have reason to
believe that our lands here in the coast
country are, to a great extent, excellent
for sugar cultivation and if the trans-
portation stumbling block can be over-
come,.! see no reason why the industry
should not be established here and be
made one of the most important in our
general commerce. I am free to confess,
however, that the question of transporta-
tion is such a serious one that I am not
sanguine it can be met.”

COFFEE AND SPICE BUSINESS.
514 Tremont Street, Galveston, Texas,From The Tribune of Aug. 24.
No agricultural crop that is grown
brings so large returns as does sugar; no
other crop distributes so much money for
labor or general supplies.
Wherever sugar is grown business is
sure to be lively. The variety of workmen
and of appliances necessary for the cul-
tivation of cane is large; the ramifications
of the industry are not appreciated by the
general public.
The Tribune has the authority of one of
the best known sugar men of the United
States, a man of national importance, for
the statement that there is no better
sugar land in the world than that of Fort
Bend, Matagorda and Brazoria counties.
The gentleman also states that portions of
Harris and Galveston counties are
adapted to sugar cultivation.
In view of this statement it is pertinent
to inquire whether a concerted effort can
not be started for the establishment of
this great industry here in the coast
country on a scale commensurate with
the importance of the project. It is be-
lieved that the parties most at interest—
the farmers and the railroads—can be
brought to give their earnest attention to
tho undertaking, and if proper steps are
taken to foster the business in the early
stages of the work there should be no
reason why the enterprise should not de-
velop into one of the most important of
south Texas and of this city.
In Louisiana sugar cane is now trans-
ported as much as 100 miles from the
fields to the factories. Here in the coast
country no such long haul would be neces-
sary if the undertaking were well estab-
lished. There is today at Sugarland, on
the Southern Pacific railroad, one of the
finest and best equipped sugar refining
plants in America. It is owned by Ed H.
Cunningham & Co. and represents an
Investment of approximately $1,500,000.
there are sugar factories nearer Galves-
jon, but they are not on such, an extensive
icale.
It is suggested that if the railroads and
the sugar factory men offer proper induce-
ments the farmers of the coast country,
Whose lands are suitable for growing
ranq, can be prevailed upon to put from
10 to 20 acres of their farms into cane. In
some localities this would be a good deal
in the nature of an experiment, the farm-
ers themselves not being fully acquainted
with the full resources of the soil they
are working. The effort would cost little
and the result would probably be more
advantageous to all concerned than is
now patent.
If, as has been declared, Texas has the
lands close to Galveston adapted in every
way for raising sugar, a magnificent op-
portunity for the development of the |
coast country is being slighted,
but a person who has intimate knowledge
of the sugar industry as it is today in
Louisiana can appreciate its importance.
The conditiO'ns existing today offer a more
inviting field for the Texas coast farmer
to embark in this enterprise than ever be-
fore. Legislation, favorable to sugar
planters, has but recently been passed,
and the probability is that it will be a
good many years before th© sugar sched-
ule is again touched by the solons. Trans-
portation rates are low and rail facilities
are sure to be increased. Machinery is
cheaper than for many years and lands
here in the coast country are within the
reach of any energetic farmer.
It is said that in the more favored sec-
tions of the coast country the soil is so
rich that it is no,t necessary to plant sugar
cane except every other year. In Louisi-
ana cane must be planted every year.
sections, which have
them, that sell their
which are located from 20 to 100 miles dis-
tant, and it is a common thing during the
grinding season in October, November
and December to see train load after train
load of cane scatttered along the South-
ern Pacific railroad.
“In my opinion there is no farm product
in this country which will pay one-half
the result obtainable from the growing
of cane under present and prospective con-
ditions. It is a more certain crop than
cotton. It costs no more to produce it.
It does not require as many days’ work.
Now compare the results: Ten acres of
land will produce( 17 to 25 tons per acre)
say 170 tons of cane worth $3 per ton, less
freight to refinery of 50 cents, which would
make it $2.50, equal to- $405. On the same
acreage of land an average yield of cot-
ton would be, say one-half a bale per
acre, or five bales, worth, say 7 cents per
pound, equal to $175.
“In arriving at the value of cane I
have applied the system prevailing in
Louisiana, viz: The refineries make con-
tracts during the summer with the grow-
ers to buy their cane as tendered, paying
therefor 80c per ten for every cent or frac-
tion of a cent at which prime yellow clari-
fied sugars are quoted from day to day on
the New Orleans sugar exchange.
“The above estimates are based upon
the.pr£sent value of prime yellow clarified
sugars, 3%c, in New Orleans. It is ex-
pected that about 4c will be the market
value for the next crop, and the price to
Texas refineries should be based upon. %c
to (4c per pound more than New Orleans.
No doubt our mainland farmers could
make similar contracts, with some of
the three refineries within 30 to 40 miles
of them.
“If the experiment proves satisfactory,
as I believe it would, in one or two sea-
sons a central refinery could be built at
some convenient location on the mainland.
Sugar being a revenue producing article,
will for many years have liberal protec-
tion, regardless of what party may have
control of the government.
“Why not take advantage of our oppor-
tunities, raise sugar for the eastern manu-
facturer, and make the deal mutual by
having them pay back for our sugar some
of the taxes which they collect from us
on manufactured goods. Quit kicking, and
accept the protection offered us as well
as to the east; and possibly the same road
which has given them so much prosperity
may lead us on to fortune as well.”

A CENTRAL REFINERY NEEDED.
From The Tribune of Aug. 26.
The articles printed in The Tribune call-
ing attention to the fecundity of the Texas
coiast country lands and particularly to
their adaptability to the cultivation of
| sugar cane have eaused much discussion.
It is a liberal education in the art
baking for anyone to visit the big estab-
lishment of the American biscuit and
manufacturing company in Galveston.
No one can realize without making such
a visit to what dimensions this business
has grown and on ■what scientific princi-
ples it is conducted. There are 60 persons
employed in the large building and all
the staple and fancy biscuits and cakes
are manufactured. C. H. Taylor, who,
within the last year, has assumed the
management of the factory, has made a
life study of the cracker and cake busi-
ness. With the new machinery now at his
command there is no style of cake or bis-
cuit that he can not turn out equally as
■well if not superior to any other establish-
ment in America.
The production of fancy cakes and bis-
cuits is an art in itself and it is beginning
to be recognized that the very latest con-
ceits in this branch of the company’s
business come, in not a few instance, from
the Galveston manufactory. With the
most experienced men in the trade at his.
command and with the most improved
machinery now in operation in the fac-
tory, Mr. Taylor says he is prepared to
supply the trade with everything in the
buscuit and cake line. The equipment
of the factory has been so improved and
amplified within the last year that
factory in the south and but few in the
north can compare with it. One of the
ovens is a monster. It is about 24 feet
square and has a 16 pan capacity,
oven when worked to its full capacity is a
sight to behold.
The attention of jobbers and merchants
generally is called to the product of this
establishment. Its staple goods are so
well known as to need but little mention,
but the development of the production of
the best of fancy styles of cakes and bis-
cuits is not so. well known. This is dis-
tinctly a Texas institution. Only Texas
flour is used; Texans are employed and
Texas supports it.

On this subject Mr. Fen Cannon said to-
day to The Tribune:
“It has been the claim of the Democra-
cy that a protective tariff enriched the
eastern manufacturer at the expense of
the southern and western farmer.
'Whether this be correct or not and laying i
aside the question of political policy, let
us accept the situation as it is. As a re-
sult of Republican legislation of the last
congress, we will have for the next four
years or possibly much longer a high
protective tariff, and among the articles
receiving most generous protection is that
of sugar, a staple of southern production.
“I believe if our farmers were fully in-
formed as to the opportunity offered them,
they would turn their attention to the
growing of sugar cane and within a few
years the thousands of acres of land lying
within 75 miles of Galveston would be
converted from almost vacant lands to
one vast field of sugar farms. The land ;
along the Brazos, Colorado, Caney and i
Oyster creek have long since demonstra-
On every side it is acknowledged that if
facilities were adequate for the handling
of the cane at a minimum expense it
would be a simple matter to get the farm-
ers to embark in the undertaking. The
one great obstacle, therefore, is that of
transporting cane from the fields to the
sugar houses. Were there a big refinery
at some central point on the mainland the
proposition would be an easy one to set-
tle.
A leading banker, who is averse to hav-
ing his name in print, but whose identity
will be revealed to any interested person,
gave his views on the subject to The
Tribune today.
“The railroads,” said he, “hold the key
to the situation. Were they inclined to
foster this industry or had they the fore-
sight to see the benefits that would ac-
crue to them from it, they would lend
every energy toward its establishment.
But we are in a predicament,
road managers with whom we
contact have their hands tied.
roads are owned in the north and the
men up north shape the policy of the
companies. You can not point out any-
thing these northern men have done for
the development of this coast country. I
know from personal observation that one
company sought to retard the settling up
of the lands that lie between here and
Houston. There is no evidence here of
that earnest, intelligent, energetic effort
to build up the country and foster local
industries that is so characteristic of the
great railroads of the north. The men
who own the transportation lines that
traverse the coast country depend only
on the long haul. They are blind to the
future importance and the profits to be
derived from the building up of a local
business. It is like butting against a
stone wall to get them to make temporary
sacrifices in view of prospective returns.

" Observing the white covered wagons of

Since these people have began to immi-

Give us mills and factories and we can

Galveston has one big institution cf
which It has cause to be proud. This is
the Galveston cotton mills. These mills
commenced operations in 1890 and since
then have never stopped their wheels un-
less it be for a few days for necessary re-
pairs.
They give employment to 550 operatives
and their products amount in value to over
$600,000 annually.
The machinery was first intended to
manufacture brown goods, but during the
last year a dyeing plant has been added
and today nearly all of the production is
of colored goods.
The company has had to travel a rocky
road from the very start, as no operatives
could be obtained in Texas and thousands
of dollars had to be expended in importing
the necessary labor from the factory
towns of the eastern states. This condi-
tion is now gradually being ameliorated
and the expense of securing labor is grad-
ually growing less.
After passing through the commercial
panic of 1893 without stopping, when near-
ly all of the mills in the United States
closed down, it had to meet the greatest
commercial depression in the history of
this country, lasting from 1898 to this time.
Numerous are the mills which have
stopped at one time or another during this
period. But the Galveston mill has kept
right on with the work it undertook.
That this has been done at a sacrifice
no one will doubt. But such a record is
certainly encouraging and the promoters
of the enterprise are certainly justified in
having confidence in their mill after it has
withstood the trials of the last seven
years.
Galveston needs more enterprises like
this.
Remarkable Growth in the Trade of the
Galveston Company.
The growth of the coffee, tea and spice
business of Galveston the past year, in a
jobbing way, has been enormous. The Gal-
veston coffee and spice company, which is
a branch of the American coffee company
of New York, now has traveling salesmen
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma territory
and Texas, and their sales the last twelve
months have reached the enormous total
of 850,000 cans. This firm Imports from
Brazil and Mexico, and expects before
long to land their Brazilian business di-
rect into Galveston without touching at
New Orleans for trans-shipment.
The bulk of the above mentioned large
business was done during the past six
months. An idea of the volume of the
company’s business may be had when it is

WALTER GRESHAM, WALTER GRESHAM, JR.Few persons realize what a factor the
trade in cotton seed products has become
in Texas. There are now nearly 160 mills,
large and small, in the state that are
operated night and day for from six to
eight months in tho yar. These mills
give employment to more than 5000 labor-
ers and to' more than 200. clerks, managers,
etc.
Galveston handled for export last year
about 138,000 tons of cake and meal, worth
about $2,500,000. It is estimated that there
will be exported through Galveston this
season more than $7,500,000 worth. Quite
an increase, isn’t it?
The oil, which is the most valuable
part of this product, and which has here-
tofore gone direct to New York and New
Orleans for export, is now being exported
through Galveston direct to Marseilles,
Genoa, Rotterdam and other European
ports.
R. L. Heflin, commission merchant and
exporter, makes a specialty of trade in
cotton seed products. He has been in the
business for the past 15 years and is
perhaps the largest exporter of meal and
cake outside of the cotton oil trust. He is
largely interested in and controls the en-
tire product of several Texas mills, among
which is the one at Velasco. Ever since
he embarked in the cotton seed product
business Mr. Heflin has had an office in
Galveston. Some nine years ago' he
moved his headquarters to Nevz Orleans
because of the better facilities1 there but
at the same, time maintained a branch
office here. Last season he moved his
headquarters back to this city, deep water

In contradistinction of the record of the
Galveston mill the following editorial on
the subject of southern cotton mills is tak-
en from a recent number of the New lork
Daily Dry Goods Record:
In the last few months quite a number
of southern cotton mills have gone into
the hands of receivers and been disposed
of at auction at a large sacrifice. The
causes which have brought about such
results were reported as due to insuffi-
ciency of capital, or bad trade, and in fact,
to anything but the right one, or incom-
petency. Mills of small productive capa-
city have been constructed in certain local-
ities to “boom” land investments. The
capital was raised, the mills built and
equipped and the management placed in
tfie hands of incompetent persons.
Elated with the honors thrust upon
them, such managements have begun their
work at the wrong end, that is, with a
limited working capital they have under-
taken to act as maufacturers and com-
mission merchants, the employment of the
latter by them being regarded as wholly
unnecessary, since they considered them-
selves able to dispose of their output cn
more favorable conditions.
In determining upon such a course they
eliminated from consideration the bank-
ing requisites of commission merchants,
and who for a small consideration would
have relieved them of the possibility
They held that th©, com-
missions saved by selling direct would
prove a guaranty fund against losses by
bad debts.
Under certain conditions they would
have done so, but those conditions were
never attained. As a fact no commissions
were saved, as the selling of goods.-from
the start was on the basis of agents’
prices less their commissions. That was
the open sesame to indue© purchases. The
managements not possessing the experi-
ence and qualifications to fit them as
bankers and commission merchants,
lost sight of the conditions of sales and
th© interest attending them, and in a
dull and depressed market found them-
selves suddenly in deep water and the
property placed in their charge hope-
lessly bankrupt.
The manufacturer that starts with the
simple aim in sight of doing without a
commission merchant by selling goods at
prices less than can be obtained by the
former, at that instant begins to dig
his commercial grave. It is reversing th©
fundamental principles of business, which
are comprised in the old idiom: “Buy
in the cheapest and sell in the dearest
markets.” The commission merchant is
an essential as necessary to a mill as is
a good working capital. If the proper
merchant is selected the best prices are
obtained for goods that th© market will
stand. Thus, the goods are taken care
of properly and so is the working captital.
Some large mills in the south conduct
their business direct and do it success^
fully, but their working capital, as their
experience for acting as their own com-
mission merchants, were gained through a
long experience with responsible agents-.
The most successful mills as well as the
largest ones, are those that hold to primi-
ture methods of having a commission
house sell all their goods. They have
confidence in their agents, and regard
any action in their interest, as, being
in close touch with the users of goods
as well as competitors, they are better
equipped to act. on the spur of the mo-
ment, and by disposing of goods at a
concession, save to the mills a much larg-
er price.
The live and active commission mer-
chant is so equipped with a selling force
as to suggest to the mills what new qual-
ities or styles of goods to make and also
what to discontinue.' For a mill to run
without such an agency to advise it is
to grope in the dark. Some mills think it
is smart to employ egents just long
enough to acquire such information and
then return to their old methods. They
gain nothing by doing so; as any advan-
tage acquired is certain of being abused
LAWRENCE V. ELDER.
Manufacturer, Dealer and Contractor in
Roofing and Paving Materials, Asphalt-
um and Coal Tar Products.
Mr. Elder confines his business strictly
to the asphaltum and coal tar products,
and with the facilities at his factory man-
ufactures a variety of articles in the re-
fining of asphaltum and distillation, of coal
tar.
The asphalt roofing manufactured and
applied by him is recognized as the stand-
ard roofing, being cheap in first cost of
putting on, meeting all the requirements
of the insurance people as a complete fire
proof covering, and is more durable than
any roofing material used. Some roofs in
this city have been on 20 years and have
not required repairing. This roofing is
especially adapted to stores, public build-
ings, etc. For dwellings, stables and sheds
he manufactures a two and three ply
ready roofing felt that can be applied by
any one to a roof. It is fire proof and is
especially adapted to country use, and is
fast taking the place of shingles, as it is
very durable and much cheaper.
The asphalt pavement is coming largely
into use and fast asserting its merits over
cement and brick. The asphalt pavement
laid in the new Banta Fe depot and .train
sheds speaks for itself. Asphalt pavement
makes a very superior floor for warm
houses, especially when it is necessary to
protect against dampness.
In distillation of coal tar a very superior
material for the preservation of wood is
obtained, known as creosote. Mr. Elder
says he sells large quantities for protec-
tion of house sills, fence posts, boat work,
eitc./and as the color of creosote is black
he manufactures from it a wood preserva-
tive paint of various colors, which is
cheaper and far superior to anything
brought before the trade and adaptable to
house and other outside work. His as-
phalt varnishes and metal roofing paints
have met the most severe tests and are
surely pushing themselves to the front.
Under the head of extracts he also han-
dles the aqua anl anhydrous ammonia,
and supplies a number of the large ice
and refrigerator plants of the state.
Mr. Elder’s headquarters are at 212. Tre-
mont street, Galveston.
