AUTO CLUB MEETING
MOVEMENT TO REVIVE OLD OR-
GANIZATION SUCCESSFUL
Those Interested in the Revival
Hope to Increase Membership
to Three Hundred.
The outcome of the special meeting for
reorganization of the Automobile club of
Houston held during yesterday after-
noon In the rooms of the Business
League can only be classed as favorable
notwithstanding the fact that the attend-
ance did not come up to expectations.
However while the number of old mem-
bers present and these took an active
hand in the proceedlnics was not Impos
ing the fact is of consequence that many
faces comparatively new to the local
motoring fraternity were seen and the
association received applications for a
dozen new memberships.
Much of interest to the autolsts was
discussed and matters of more direct
concern to the association were brought
up for consideration. Some advocated the
disbandment of the old organization
starting out anew under anotner name
and a new charter. But this idea if it
had any backers was dispensed with by
a most satisfactory report by the treas-
urer. The latter In his report stated that
the association is under no indebtedness;
that a fat sum rests in the - treasury
which wUl be largely increased upon the
collection of a host of unpaid dues.
FIFTY-FOUR" MEMBERS.
The membership of the Automobile club
of Houston consists of only fifty-four
members. Now President Harvey T. D.
Wilson and others Interested in the re-
vival of Houston automoblllng from a so-
cial standpoint are of opinion that at
least 300 eligible members could be drawn
from the 500 or more motor car owners
residing in this city. Mr. Wilson also
thinks that the owner of an auto car can
be of- Invaluable assistance to Houston
from a public-spirited point of view. In
the time of carnivals conventions and
other notable occasions.
Accordingly a sentiment Is expressed
among members of the association to co-
operate with ths No-Tsu-Oh association
the coming fall and every year there-
after. In lending any possible assistance
In the carrying out of the program for
Carnival week. An automobile pageant
haa been suggested and while as hereto-
fore the Automobile club of Houston will
no doubt have the honor of escorting

ever bv the Houston Launch club it is
probable thnt the motor car parade will
furnish an additional feature. Th. mat-
ter will probably he taken uo at once
between members of both organizations.
ANOTHER MEETING CALLED.
Another meeting has been set for Mon-
day night beginning at S o'clock which
Is ohe week ahead of the annual election
of officers- It Is proposed to make that
meeting an occasion of much moment
among Houston motoring circles and
members of the Automobile club have
pledged themselves by solicitation and
personal obligation to feature the meet-
ing bv a large attendance. At that meet-
ing steps will be taken toward the ap-
pointment of a new board of control and

Lack of Railroads and Cheap Texas

It has" often been asked why Texas
lumber was shipped In such quantities to
Mexico when there was a great deal of

as the export trade for other countries
although it la known that from Port
Arthur and Southern points much lumber
is shipped to many European countries
and also that the coast trade Is very
extensive. The reason that the Mexican
trade Is as good as it is in spite of the
fact that there is much uncut timber In
Mexico has been apUy advanced by a
local lumberman.
"Texas" he said "has considerable
cheap stumpage as yet and will for years
be able to supply all the "demands made
upon It. The timber In Texas is easy
of access and there are plenty of rail-
roads adjacent to the timber belt. All
that la necessary is little short lines into
the actual operating districts and the
Texas lumber la on the tnarket. It will
be twenty years yet before there is sny
visible decrease in the Texaa lumber
supply and before there will have to be
new fields opened. Then there Is one
more feature about the Texas supply;
It . is a very superior grade of lumber
practically as good a commercial lumber
as exists.
"The reverse conditions govern Mexico.
In the first place she has a great deal
of Inferior lumber. Her small stuff is
knotty and in many instances totally
unfit even for ties. Of course. In the
hills she has some wonderful pine for-
ests but they are inaccessible. No rail-
roads and practical isolation of her pine
is one or the things that Is pseserving
Mexico. Before there will be any devel-
opment in some circles there would have
to be 400 or ouo miles of road built and

see that accomplished. Mexico is .vary
diffident about progression. The inte-
rior and tho south part are' especially
slow. There is not enough demand for
Mexican lumber to necessitate the build-
ing of such long roads for this specific
purpose.
"When Mexico has developed a bit more
and when the stumpage In ths States
becomes more costly then we may have
some use for Mexican timber and Mexico
may subsist upon her own timber but
up to the present time she finds it
cheaper to utilise the American product."
