R M0$UMñT 'íítN^ TUE8PAY we will place on sale an assortment of
and fancy Silks that would make a creditable showing in a much
rgtr city. We didn't pike light on silk purchases this spring; we had
very good reasons for the plunging we indulged in. Firstly, the vast ma-
jority of these Silks and Satins were bought just prior to the advance in prices;
secondly, a matter of 5 to 15 per cent discount off regular values of desirable
i fashionable fancies lured us into buying heavily. Í $ $ $

of these materials is positively guaranteed to be the unquestionable quality we
represent it. There are no job lots to lead you astray. $ & # #

tobacco
Growing in
East Texas
The Associated Press report in
Thursday's Tribune regarding the es-
tablishment by the United States Ue-
pnrtment of Agriculture of immense
curing abeds at Nacogdoches for the
.handling of the entire experimental
crop of Southern raised tobacco, gives
the Tribune the right to release somo
afecta regarding the East Texas tobac-
áeo fields which have been in its poe-
fsesslon for several days.
■ When Mr. L. H, Shelfér. tobacco ex-
¿>ert for the Department of Agricul-
ture, was here tibe first of the week,
Srnl also while on a visit ¿orne ten
day ago, he gave the Tribune the fol-
lowing facts regarding the tobacco
situation on the diet I not understand-
ing that they were not to be published.
ontil the official announcement of the
Department regarding Baat Texas and
its present and future status as a to-
bacco field. This announcement hav-
ing been uxade public by Thursday's
wire from New Orleans, we give the
interview with Mr. Shelf er about as he
gave it at that time
"I have been for a year and a half
in the East Texas country," said Mr.
8hei/er. "1 waa sent here by the De-
partment of Agriculture to examine
the soils and conduct a seriea of ex-
perimenta to ddtérmlne tl)e adaptabil-
ity of Bast Texas for the cultivation of
tobfoco. The credit for my being here
and much of the success which has
attended my experimenta is due to
Colonel S. F. B. Morse, passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Pa-
cific system. >
"Not only waa Mr. Morse the pri-
mary mover in securing; Government
recognition of the rights of Tens to
an experimental tobacco station, but
he baa done more than any other one
man toward facilitating the work
which I started. Everything which he,
and the great system he representa,
could do to expedite matters in fur-
nishing information, valuable data,
transportation and every other facil-
ity possible has been done. The fact
that Texas has demonstrated to the
world that her soil will raU« tobacco
second to none on earth ccraM never
have become each but for his help.
The future tobacco Idngs of Texas will
honor the nanve of S. F. B. Morse.
"I have been Instructed by the De-
partment of Agriculture to have enor-
mous drying sheds erected at Nacog-
doches, of sufficient proportions to
hold the entire experimental pro-
duction of the United States
and to arrange for the con-
centrating of the entire force of expert
workmen now in the South in Texas.
"This order arises from the fact that
the climatic conditions of Texas are
more favorable to the curing and dry-
ing of tobacco than anywhere else in
the United States
"AH this work will be done before
the next tobacco crop to harvested.
The activity in the southern tobacco
field, ant especially in Texas next
year will be wry pronounced and the
real poasibilitles along this line of in-
dustrial development are beyond com-
prehension.
"You must understand that this
Bast Texaa soil on which our beet to-
bacco Is grown is strikingly similar to
that of the famous Pinar del Rio dto-
trtot of Cuba, which haa produced the
finest tobacco ever grown. It con-
stata of a heavy red. or more property
speaking, chocolate soil, underlaid by
a atiff red clay, which In many placea
gradea gradually into the weathered
greeaaand marl which experta say un-
derlies all true red or chocolate land.
| The marl Is considered by expert* a
perfect fertiliser and to readily ob-
I taitted for oomiu«*rcial uses.
"The tobacco which we have grown
on this «olí, la strikingly similar and
In every way equal to the iamous Vu-
elta Ahajo of the Pinar del Rio dis-
trict. It to not a heavy or vigorous.
rank or overgrow u plant, but to short
coupled and ranges from ten to four-
teen leaves to the stalk. It is of me-
dium stoe and has the soft, velvety
appearance of the Cuban type. There

THE MORSE-ALL-TEXAS CIGAR.

Chronicle reporter a few days. ago.
Mr. Shelter, in speaking of the quality
of the cigars which could be made
from Texas grown tobacoo, said
"The first brand of cigars to be put
on the market for consumption by
American amoketu will be known as
the 'Morse-All-Texas' cigars. They
will retail at fifty cents each.
"We can furnish the tobacco tor

er, "its name is chosen in honor of
Colonel S. F. Bi Morse, passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Pacif-
ic, who has done such a great work
