Striking Evidences Seen in Recent Activities on Texas Gulf

Perhaps tho most trlklng ovldonco
of tho growth of this country In gen
eral Is to be seen In tho tronQ of
commerce and Immigration In recent
years, and particularly in tho move
ments now In progress, commercial
ly, Industrially and nErlcuIturally,
along the gulf Iront ofho state of
Texas.
When the improvement of Galves
ton harbor was undertaken in 1890,
Galveston folks figured that a large
volume of business would Bhift from
the Atlantic ports to tho now gulf
outlet as soon as tho big ehips could
oome up to tho wharves, as Galves
ton would fmrnisn "tho lino of least
resistance." Hut In this they wero
disappointed for a time. Water can't
1)0 made to run up hill. Railroads'
loading from tho "granary or the
nation" continued to take products
for export to the Atlantic ports, al
beit rates slumped. The dream of
diverting commerce was not real
ized. Within the last few years tho com
morco of the port of Galvoston has
grown enormously. It Is now 882
per cent greater than In 1890.
Growth of tho west nnd southwest,
growth of tho "business of the coun-i
try In general, Is the causo, Atlan
tic ports aro still doing business at
tho old stand. But they havo be

enormous expenditures. It Is

Llkewlso tho Texas coast country,
Hie great 'coastal plain, is being rap
Idly populated, aovoloped and util
ized, not through a process of dlvor-
ulon, T)ut becauso tho surplus of In
habitants from oldor sections Is horo

country Is yot crowded as Is Europo
and Asia, but Amorlcans havo boon
nccustomed to plonty of breathing

tho nineteenth century, howovor,

nut this strip of country has beon
taken out of the backyard, A rail
road travorsos tho coast country
from end to end, following tho trail
which Genoral Taylor made on his
march to Mexico. This road was
built tlvo yuuis ago, partly to open
this country to sottlomont, partly to
establish a new short lino to the City
of Mexico. Benjamin F. Yoakum,
tho railroad magnate, projected it.
He Ih a Texas product; grew up as

In training for his big work he

of r he coast country were succewi

awuy, and, whon he got out upon
a largef stago and next t6 the
monoy boxes, he built tho Gulf
Coast Lino and placed arnottior gar
land of orange blossoms upon tho
brdw of Columbia.
During the last three or four
years tho Influx of population Into
tho coast country has boon enor

and Japan havo been swamped with

grown nnd is growing enormously.'.
Millions for Foundations.
These largo movomonts aro re
flected In tho towns and cities of the
togion. Gnlyeston, notably, has
ibeen busy during tho last nine years .
in laying tho foundations for great
things. Many millions of dollars
havo been put Into improvements
public and private Two notable
works have been, completed, a third
is tinder construction, a fourth and
fifth nro projected and assured.
Tho first of theso was a great sea
wall, 17 feet htgh, 20 feet wide at
thq base (tho same being protected
by 27 feet pf granite riprap), and
17,592 feet in length, constructed
by tho people of Galveston, through
their county government, at a cost
of $1,500,000. This has been ex
tended 5,506 feet by tno rcderai
government to itrotect Us Fort
Crockett military reservation at a
cost of $300,000, the ontlro wall
forming an embankment for tho
grade raising, which comes to a, level .
with tho top of tho wall, tho enUro .
length, 4.37 miles, nnd, breadth,' one
mllo, of the city. The Btorm of July
21, 1909. Was a severe test to this
wall, and a most satisfactory Oho to
Galveston people, who had bullded
it, aB the protection It afforded was.
thorough, there bolng no erosion of
tho grade, no damage to tho city, and
not tho least damago to the wall lt
solf. In raising tho grndo 16,000,
000 cubic yards of material was Ail
ed In at a cost of $3,200,000.
Tho third notable work, now un
der construction, Is a great cause-
way to connect Galveston Island with
tho mainland. It will bo two mllo
long, will cost $1,500,000 and will
havo ways for pedestrians, automo
biles, wagons, etc., for the steam:
railways and for tho Galveston
Houston (electric) lnterurban rail
way, which Is now under construc
tion. It will be tho largest structure
of its kind in tho United States, ex
cepting the Floriaa Keys viaaucis,
and will bo wider than any lengthy
vlnduct in the world.
Greater Galveston Harbor.
A fourth project In courso of re
alization Is Greater Galveston har
bor, as planned by -the engineers of
tho United States army, which will
includo tho port of Galveston and
tho subports of Texas City and Port
Bolivar. Tho plan Includes tha
deepening of tho channols to thlrty
flvo foot and tho opening up of the
ontlre water front of lower Galvos
ton bay. The work will cost approx
imately $30,000,000 nnd require 10"
to 15 years to execute At present
Galvoston has thirty-two feet of,
water and Texas City and Port Bol
ivar 'twenty-flvo foot. Texas City ity
sevon miles distant from Galveston
and Port Bolivar live miles'.
Tho federal government has thus
far expended $10,500,000 on tha
Galveston harbor improvomonts,
with tho result that tho poople aro
saved more than $30,000,000 por an
num In transportation charges, or
about the cost of tho now project.
It lo worthy of note that tho saving;
In ocenn carrlago on foreign com
morco within tho last twority yoars
has been groator than that which
has beon accomplished In rail car
riage. For example, tho rate on cot
ton from Galvoston to Liverpool haa
fallon from 60 cents per 100 pounds
to 27 cents, whereas tho rail rates
from Texas common points to Gal
voston hnvo been roducod 15 conta.
Tho Pleasure Side,
Anothor notnblo feature of the -now
actlvltlos along tho Toxas coast
Is tho development of plcasuro re
sorts. Tho most ambitious of the
projects is that of Galveston. Thls
city has for many yoars had consid
erable ropntation, especially In tho
southwest and west, ns a resort, but
It is now proposed to place it in the
front rank. A stop In this dlroct'ou
Is tho proposod nnd nssurod erection
of n first-class soasldo hotol, front
ing Seawall boulovard and overlook
ing tho bob. Within two wook
nioro than half a million dollnrs In
stock was raised by prlvnto subscrip
tion for this purpose, nnd It Is prob
nble that a million dollnrs will be
Investecl In tho ontorpriso.
The proposod slto of tho hotol Iff

from tho sconos of shipping and
