In all probability the first regular

The Katy M. enters into a service
expected to prove Invaluable to Hous-
t.oi merchants, Some time ago a 40
per con i rate op fourth ela* freight,
based upon the cost of water trans-
ían i a Hon, applied to Corpus ''lirlstl
from Houston The facilities for car
riwKe hj. the gulf were eliminated and
lia railroad rate was boosted to 68
renin. HotiM'on was put out of th«
competition for trade, with San An-
tonio controlling Ho- territory.
(Jalveston merchants t<W k the lead
in combating the situation, and the
Katy M now to v," Into the Hotiston-
Corptts OhrlsU, service, was en-
gaged to ply between that city and
the west coast. A fine trade devel-
oped, and the I'llot Hoy, a steamer,
took th" place of the auxiliary power
schooner.
The Kuity M. is "Xpe' t"d to blase
the way for greater thing*. Utilis-
ing a small vessel at first, creating
the trade and organising the service,
It Is proposed later to so expand and
• nlarge th" scopn of op«rBtlona as
to make thla city th« point of tran-
shipment of all non-perishable
frb.ght consigned to Corpus Christ
and originating In territory favorable
and to open to Houston Jobbers,
manufacturer* and wholesalers the
territory now forbidden by reason of
the advantage given other cltiea.
