THE FANCY GROCER
GALVESTON’S HARBOR.
CAPT. FULTON A GREAT BELIEVER
IN GALVESTON’S FUTURE.
The Six Million Dollar Appropriation—
A Grand Trades Display Next Febru
ary—Tho Freiident Congratulated.
Dawson, Ga , Dec. 10 ♦-In my
humble opinion Galveston, Texas,
is the coming city of the South.
It is already the largest city in the
largest (State in the Union, but lias
always labored under the dlsad-
vautage of a harbor of insufficient
depth of water to admit the largest
steamers to her wharves, which
caused a heavy expenditure of
money for lighterage. The govern
ment has expended thousands of
dollars within the last twenty
years In endeavoring to cut away
the bar, to deepen the channel, etc ,
with such success as to prove what
might be accomplished in that di
rection provided a liberal appropri
ation could be obtained at once and
the work done In a brief period of
time, instead of expending a few
thousand annually on a force inad
equate and Incompetent to accom
pllsh the desired result. So during
the last session of CoDgress that
body was memorialized by the citi
zens of Galveston, of Texas, and of
several other Western States and
Territories which would reap un
told benefits from deep water at
Galveston, and by their persever
ing and united efforts, succeeded
In obtaining an appropriation of
$0,200,000.
When this result was telegraphed
to Galveston by their congressmen
and others who were In Washing
ton In the Interest of the measure,
there was rejoicing beyond descrip
tion. Business was suspended, a
grand jubilee ordered, the military
and fire department turned out,
the boomtug of cannon, a graud
display of fireworks, and the whole
city given over to rejoicing and
revelry. Congratulations by tele
graph poured iu from all over the
state and all over the United States;
from large cities in the North and
East, as well as those from the
West, and for twenty-four hours
there was but little eatiug and
sleeping iu Galveston.
Some days after this, another ju
bilee was organized for the 18th
and 10th of November, in which
all the cities in Texas, and some In
other states, were invited to attend
and participate. The invitation
was accepted, excursion rates wore
given by the railroads, and fifteen
thousand enthusiastic visitors from
all over the We.t hastened to the
scene, and one of the grandest en
tertainments was the result. Many
fine addresses were made by sena
tors, congressmen, governors, may
ors, and other distinguished visit
ors, brim full of glowing aocounts
and pictures of Galveston’s future.
This did a great deal towards ad
vertising the city by tbe press and
people, and real estate has been on
a tremendous -boom ever since,
transfers amounting to from $200,-
000 to $1,000,000 eYery week.
The enthnslastlo citizens of, tbe
"Qleauder city" have now deter
mined to have the graudest jubi
lee and Trade. Display ever seen in
Texas, If not In the 8oulh. This
grand event will come offfrom the
7th to the 11th pt Feb. next, lasting
four days. They Intend to have a
Trades display In which every in
dustry In Galveston will be con
spicuously shown, on four-horse
Hosts, and try to Induoeevery coun
ty In Texas to contribute to the
procession at least one wagon con
taining the leading products of the
county, so decorated that every per
son, as It passes, can tell what
county It represents, and tbe pro
ducts thereof so arranged that
when the parade Is over, all who
dqrire to do so, cau spend a few
boars In passing around and be
tween the:wagona %nd floats, In
specting their contents at their
leisure. And In addition to tbla
they propose to Invite every State
and Territory west of the Mississ
ippi river, which Das sent delegates
to tbe various Deep Water conven
tions held in tbe last I wo years, and
have, In other ways, contributed to
the success of tbe deep water move
ment at Galveston, to get up, In
their principal cities and towns,
similar samples of their products
and industries, and send then In
charge of proper agents and com
mittees, and arrange them In wag
ons there, to join In the mighty
procession. It is believed there
from the enthusiasm manifested
throughout the great west on this
subject, that they will have not
less than four, hundred floats and
wagons, elaborately (decorated, iu
the parade, of a purely Industrial
character, to say nothing of the fire
department and military from all
over-Texas. If it comes up to what
they have reason to expect, It will,
in all probability, take the proces
sion six hours to pass a given point.
Tbe entire time—four days, will be
filled up with some kind of enter
tainment that will be most likely to
Interest visitors.
Tbe city council and citizens of
Galveston have made an appropri
ation of $15,000, to be used in the
preparation and consumation of
this huge project, and in otherwise
advertising the city and State on
thlB occasion.
Deep wqter at Galveston will he
the means of opening up a very
large trade between this country
and South America, and the heavy
fxports of tbe immense grain crops
in the west, will go by way of Gal
veston instead of New York and
Baltimore, thereby saving millions
of doll&rs annually to tbe pro
ducers. Even as it is, tbe foreign
exports of thlB season, up to date,
amount to $18,000,000, according to
the Galveston News.
President Harrison, In bis recent
annual message to Congress, recog
nized and acknowledged the im
portance of GalveBton as an im
porting and exporting city, and the
importance of improving the har
bor, and justified Congress in mak
ing the six million, two hundred
thousand dollar appropriation for
that purpose.
When the message was read in
Ga’vestou, a delegation was at
once dispatched to Washington,
and Congressman Crain was tele
graphed to by the Mayor, (who, by
the way, was once a citizen of Daw
son) to go with tbe delegation and
wait upon the President, present
tbe compliments of the city of Gal
veston, and thank him for his kind
reference in his message, and tell
him that twenty-one guns were
being tired In his honor by the au
thorities of the city. Col. Crain
replied: “The President returns
his acknowledgement of the cour
tesies extended him by tbe people
of GalveBton,”
