Is southwest Texas land a safe
investment for a large amount of
capital? This question is always
asked' by land buyers who investi
gate Texas lands and is a question
concerning which there is always
some discussion. It.is argued that
some year there may be.a drouth
or southwest Texas may not al-
ways enjoy the good crops and
prosperity it has enjoyed for the
last three years.
The refusal of perhaps the largest
land owner in Texas to sell her
holdings recently is a good answer
to this question. R. J. Kleberg
manager of the King estate con
trolling practically eleven hundred
thousand acres between Corpus
Christi and Brownsville was ap
proached a few days ago by a syn-
dicate and was asked if he would
sell the King ranch for $9 an acre.
He was told that a company of
capitalists would consider the pur-
chase of the ranch provided it
would be sold as a whole for that
amount.
The figures named represented
the largest sum probably ever of
fered for any single landed
erty.

The greater part of the King
ranch has been under the control
of one management for over a
quarter of a century. Some parts
of it were nurchased for as low a
price as 25 cents an acre. The
land has proven a good investment
and its owner has reasoned that it
is an investment of sufficient value
to hold. j
Land owners argue that what is !
a profitable holding for a ranch of
a million acres is a profitable one
for any other land in Texas and
that in the purchase of farm land
in this section the purchaser will
not lose money.
A change has come over this
section of Texas and is is believed
the season of prosperity will con
tinue.. What were once termed!
arid lands are now productive and j
will continue to be. This hasj
proven the case with all other ;

Some of our esteemed contem-
poraries are much exercised over
President Roosevelt's statement
that he eats nothing but hard boil-
ed eggs for breakfast. The food
that Mr. Roosevelt eats may be
come of public importance if-it af-!
fects his brain or temperament
but only those cases should it be
discussed. Are we to understand
that these critics would restrict the
presidential appetite and compel
him to limit the hardness and num-
ber of the eggs he can engorge.
Many notable epicures have had
strange likings for queer food as
for instance the English King who
.died of eating too many lampreys j
and as Mr. Roosevelt may not be
versed in the gastronomic art or j
may prefer hard4ioiled eggs to soft;
boiled ones why not let him have
his own way without criticism.

There are plenty of arguments
for the construction of cotton mills
in Texas and there is absolutely
no reason why with proper man-
agement they should not make
money from the start. It does
not take so very much money to
start a cotton mill and it can be
allowed to grow. Denison Herald.
