and lined up at each of the stevedores’ of- | a trestle, then running cars loaded with |
sandstone out on the trestle and tossing
the stones into the sea. In this way the
stones were piled up to the top of the
water, when Immense blocks of granite
were placed on top of them to hold them
securely in place and prevent heavy seas
from washing away the loose stones from
the top of the jetty which in this way
was formed.flees and for hours the handing out of
money went on» The crowd of men at the
Office of Suderman & Dolsen, stevedores
for the Morgan line, was particularly
large, and It was after 11 o’clock before
the last brawny toiler had gotten his fat
envelope and started for home. Never
save during the holidays were the shop-
ping scenes livelier than last ni-ght. The
total amount paid to dock laborers for the
week was about $80,000, and this repre-
sents only a portion of, the shipping pay
rolls and does not take'into account the
army of clerks, seamen, etc., all of whom
have money.to burn these days.”
Four thousand men—think of it!—four
thousand men are employed along the
wharves. What seaport in the world of
the size of Galveston can compare with it
today? And yet there is every reason to
believe that Galveston is but entering
upon her career.
MAKING OF A HARBOR
Story of Galveston’s Effort, As-
sisted by the West.FAITH
OF THE ENGINEERS,
While the Croakers Croaked They
Accomplished the Greatest Feat
of Modern Times.Could the spirits of venturesome bucca-
neers who- sought the shelter of Galveston
bay in the early part of this century,
when their vessels were hard pressed by
the navies which pursued them, but re-
turn today to the harbor which hasxbeen
created through the demands of a great
commerce, what a wonderful revelation
the miles of docks, the hundreds of ships,
the puffing tugs, the straining locomo-
tives, the long strings of cars, the busy
thousands would be to them!
Where nature created a shallow harbor,
with a sloping, shingle shore, man has
made a wharf locked basin where mil-
lions of commerce may pass annually.
Where nature supplied an eight foot
channel to the sea, man has so concen-
^ssted the flow of the currents that to-
mighty vessels drawing at a maxi-
mum 26 feet of water may go from the
<§»cks to the sea at any hour of the day
night. Such is the simple story of this
gjort.When the smoke of the civil war had
Cleared away and the commerce of the
West again commenced to move in its ac-
enstomed channels, the idea of a deep
water harbor at Galveston was revived.
There were a few wise, far seeing men
who intuitively found in this port the
geographical gateway to the sea of a vast
and ever growing section of country,
whose commerce was carried to the sea-
board through the artificial methods of
the great east and west trunk lines. They
took up the feat and laid the foundation
for the great work which was to remove
the bar at the entrance to the harbor,
which was the greatest obstacle in the
way of Galveston’s advancement.
It required years of patient industry to
attract the attention of congress to the
importance of Galveston and the neces-
sity of creating here a deep water port of
the first class. From time to time desul-
• tory attempts were made to secure deep
water. Work would be undertaken, then
it would be abandoned through exhaustion
of the appropriation or the total failure
of the scheme. One of these lamentable
schemes was that of using brush mat-
tresses sunk by throwing stone upon
them. It was found that the teredo ate
the brush as fast almost as it was sunk
into the sea, and the scheme was soon
found impracticable.
The city of Galveston at one time ap-
propriated $100,000 to help along the work,
the money being expended by the United
States engineers. But every scheme failed
for want of a comprehensive plan and
plenty of money to carry It through.
It took stout hearts to stick to the hope
of creating a -great port in the face of the
failure that had attended the former ef-
forts. But the people of Galveston were
of that stern stuff which refused to sur-
render when their plans miscarried or
their hopes were defeated.
The railways in the meantime were
making the west pay roundly for hauling
its exports to the Atlantic seaboard.They
Finally the idea was conceived of inter-
esting the great west in the movement.
The thing seemed feasible. Surely the
west was as much interested in having
an outlet for its grain, for its ore, for its
exports of all kinds, as Galveston was in
being that port. The idea grew in favor
and the first convention to arrange for
the greater one to follow was held at
Fort Worth a decade ago.
This was the master stroke that struck
the scales from the eyes of the west.
From Denver to the gulf the cry was
taken up that a deep water harbor must
be created on the Texas coast. This
cry, which found its Inception in the
hearts of a few courageous spirits who
refused to fail in an undertaking, became
louder and louder as it was taken up and
repeated from city to town, from town to
hamlet and from the hamlet to the farm
and to the mine.
These people were in earnest. They
knew their rights and did not hesitate to
make their demands known to congress.
The weight of the people was felt in con-
gress and a commission was appointed to
select the natural harbor to be im-
proved. After a careful examination of
the entire Texas coast the commission
threw out toe claims of all ports except
Galveston. Then it proceeded to execute
plans by which the entrance to this har-
bor could be deepened. Over these plans
there were many and bitter discussions,
the chief cause of dissension being the
Width between the jetties. The army en-
gineers insisted upon the jetties being
placed wide apart, whereas the civilians
Who took issue with them insisted they
Bhould be relatively close together. There
were other points of difference which in
all probability the lay mind would fail
to grasp, so they are omitted here.
In toe end the army engineers tri-
umphed. Their plans were agreed to.
But the estimates? It was found that
$5,200,000 would be required to do the work,
and even to do it at that figure a con-
tinuous appropriation was necessary so
that the whole work could be contracted
for at once. Would congress make the
appropriation? That was the question,
and when President Harrison finally
signed the bill it was a great day in Gal-
veston and in the west.
To follow the growth of thb work would
be to repeat an oft told story. The plans,
or project as the engineers call it, called
for two great granite and sandstone arms
stretching miles out into the sea. They
were built by constructing a railway on
In this way the south jetty was built.
At a snail’s pace it crept out to sea. To
those who were so anxiously awaiting
deep water the progress was frightfully
slow. To those who xmderstood the vast
proportions of the work, the speed was
wonderfully rapid. Especially was this
true after Maj. Alexander M. Miller was
assigned to the work. Maj. Miller sought
results more than red tape, lie pushed
the work without quibbling or harrassing
the contractors with this technicality or
that. The result was a wonderful saving
of time. Without Maj. Miller’s practical
methods Galveston today might not be
able to proclaim to the world the mag-
nificent deep water harbor which lies at
her door.
But while great progress was being
made upon the south jetty, but little cr
no progress was being made in the depth
of water on the bar. Month after month
the government surveys would show prac-
tically the same depth. The pilots re-
ported the channel narrow, crooked and
shifting and were unable to take to sea
vessels drawing more than 14 feet at the
most.
At this time the croakers and pessimists
got into evidence. Deep water was an
ignis fatuus, they declared. The govern-
ment was merely squandering its money
and the project would fail as others had
failed before it. Engineers in civil life
also assailed the project and predicted its
ignominous failure.
But the engineers who had made the
plans were among the most eminent in
the corps of the army. They had weighed
every condition well in advance and felt
perfectly secure in their position. So
while the croakers croaked, the work
went merrily on. Maj. Miller boldly an-
nounced that the north jetty would have
to be a mile or two from shore before any
appreciable result would be seen. ‘‘But
then”—well, the astute engineer refused
to go into the details of his belief in what
would happen.
The story of the construction of the
north jetty is identical with that of the
south jetty. Its construction is identical
with that of its neighbor a mile or so to
the south of it. Slowly but surely, like a
giant sea serpent, it lapped- its length out
to sea. Then it was that the channel
began to be erratic and move about. As
the waters were more and more confined
they did more and more execution to the
bar.
First the inner bar was worn away en-
tirely and where there was from 12 to 14
feet of water a deep basin was formed.
But the old crooked channel remained.
as much as 10 days.
One Saturday night—it was in October
three years ago—11 vessels were lying in
Bolivar roads loaded and waiting a fa-
vorable opportunity to get to sea. Some
of these vessels had been detained there
But there was no
help for them unless they lightered their
cargo, and that was an expensive thing
to do.
Finally the pilots in sounding in be-
tween the jetties found what seemed an
entirely new channel. It was far to the
northward of the old channel and perfect-
ly straight. They sounded all evening on
this channel and that night nine of those
11 steamers, headed by the steamship St.
Julian, went to sea and the first practical
results of the jetties had been attained.
This channel, which was known for a
long time as the St. Julian channel, grad-
ually deepened and widened to such an
extent that the tortuous old channel was
abandoned and the St. Julian channel is
today the main channel to the sea.
From that day to this each month’s
survey has shown an increased depth,
until today Galveston has a stright, wide
channel through which a vessel may go
to sea at any hour of toe day or night
drawing as much as 26 feet of water.
The jetties were finished and have
proven in every detail successful. Aside
from their success from an engineering
standpoint these jetties are remarkable in
other ways. Their plans were not once
modified or in any way changed afterfinal
adoption; they were constructed within
the estimate of their cost; were completed
or practically completed within the time
specified for their completion and accom-
plished in the way of deep water just ex-
actly what it was intended to accomplish
—neither more nor less—thus making a
record in engineering feats of.this mag-
nitude heretofore unknown in the whole
world.
So much for toe jetties and the channel
to the sea.
Among those of firm faith in the success
of the harbor work were the directors of
the Galveston wharf company, and con-
spicuous among them was the late J. M.
Brown, who- planned and constructed
many of the magnificent docks of the com-
pany. The Wharf company went to work
early to prepare for the business which
would come with deep water. The orig-
inal water front of the island on the bay
side was the Strand, of which the street
of that name is a namesake. But long
ago the shallows and flats between the
Strand and the channel were filled in. The
docks were wooden piers reached by long
driveways built upon trestles. The
Wharf company owned all of the wharf
front from 10th to 40th streets, and set
about the task of improving its property.
Great dredges were used and solid docks
took the place of flimsy wooden struc-
tures. Hundreds of acres of waste flats
were converted into docks and yards, un-
til today the company owns about three
and a half miles of dock frontage on the
bay. Here they have also two magnifi-
cent grain elevators, mammoth sheds for
the protection of merchandise while being
loaded into and unloaded from ships, and
nearly 40 miles of switches and railway
tracks leading up to the docks. Three
miles more of tracks are being put in now
to accommodate the ever increasing vol-
ume of business.
While the Wharf- company owns a mag-
nificent property, it is conceded that the
port will soon outgrow the facilities
which that company can afford and other
companies are organizing to push the
dock improvement on both sides of the
Wharf company property. The West End
dock company has on hand a project to
build a system of docks to the west of the
Wharf company property.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way owns considerable frontage directly
to the east of the Wharf company prop-
erty, which ends at 10th street. Plans
have been made for a system of docks to
be constructed on this property which will
accommodate 40 ships at one time. Col.
Polk, general manager of the company,
is very much in favor of these plans and
it is thought they will be commenced as
soon as a large amount of improvement
now being made to the main line of the
property in Texas is completed.
Still further to the east of the Santa Fe
property there is room for a countless
number of docks, and Just across the
channel lies Pelican island, the property
of the city, which in the near future
must be utilized for dock purposes and
for railway terminals by causeway or
bridge connection with the mainland.
The harbor of Galveston contains over
400 acres of anchorage over 80 feet in
depth, enough to accommodate hundreds
of ships. The harbor is landlocked on all
sides, perfectly secure from storms, is
practically tideless, forming in short one
of the safest and most magnificent har-
bors in the known world.
With the rate of growth which Galves-
ton’s commerce has shown- during the
last two or three years maintained for
the next decade, this port will become
the greatest south of Baltimore and one
of the most important in America.
STAR FLOUR MILLS.
Great Industry Fostered by J.
Reymershoffer's Sons.
FLOUR TO THREE CONTINENTS.
Now, with Enlarged Elevator, This
Concern Will Be in the Market for
Handling Grain for Export,
The prestige of Galveston as a favorable
place for the making of flour has been
spread at home and abroad by the Texas
Star Flour Mills. The reputation of the
mills is largely due to the merits of Tidal
Wave flour which Is made from a variety
of wheat which John Reymershoffier has
helped to introduce to this country. This
wheat is known as No. 2 Mediterranean
and it makes a flour the quality of
which has been attested to by the growth
of the business. The mills are now turn-
ing out 225,000 barrels of flour per year.
In the last four ye*ars the trade of the
mills with the West Indies has been ma^
terially enlarged. The Norwegian steam-
ship Gyller is in commission to the mills
and carries on an average of 6500 barrels
a month to the West Indies islands. This
trade embraces Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad,
Hayti, Martinique and St. Lucia, and in
addition trade relations have been estab-
lished with points on the north east of
South America such as Demerara and
other British Guiana ports.
The elevator capacity of the mills has
recently been enlarged to 650,000 bushels.
With this capacity the mills will be able
to unload 100 cars of grain pCr day and
deliver to ships by means of belt carriers
at the rate of 12,000 bushels an hour there-
by loading a large ocean freighter within
one day.
Arrangements have been made whereby
it is not necessary to change the berth of
a. vessel from the time loading is begun
until it is finished. This is accomplished
by means of an adjustable apparatus
by which the course of the grain on the
belt is changed at the will of the operator.
The latest improved machinery has been
placed in the elevator and it will soon
be open to public business the same as the
Wharf company elevators and charging
the same rates.
The West Indies &. Pan American
Steamship company, operated at present
by the mill company, has bought some of
the products of the West Indies and Mex-
ico to this port such as Mexican hemp,
asphalt from Trinidad, tobacco and coffee
from Porto Rico, fruits from Jamaica,
etc., but these imports hav® been spas-
modic. At present the bulk of the pro-
ducts of the islands goes to New York and
is distributed from there. It is expected
that in due time enterprising Galveston-
ians will realize the pronounced advan-
tage Galveston affords for handling many
of the articles now going to New York
and Atlantic ports and that this city will
become the port of entry for such pro-
ducts of the islands as are in demand
in the west. The fact that the merchants
of Galveston have not developed business
relations with the West Indies has ham-
toe operations of the Star
and of the West Indies and
American steiamship company
conditions
their steamship now returns almost
empty from every trip to the islands.
But it is not alone in the West Indies
that Tidal Wave and Sea Fairy flour have
spread the fame of Galveston. J. Rey-
mershoffer’s Sons have availed themselves
of freight room offered by local shipping
people to export their flour to Liverpool,
Copenhagen, Antwerp and occasionally to
Bremen and Hamburg.
The establishment of the mills here has
been a boon to the wheat growers of the
Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas. It
offers the farmers a market for their crops
in competition with those of the Mississip-
pi and Missouri valleys. When Texas
makes a wheat crop the mills draw their
supplies mainly from Texas. This is part-
ly because of the shorter haul and partly
to encourage home industry. The capa-
city of the mills for flour is 800 barrels
a day or 20,000 barrels a month. They ship
on an average 1500 cars of flour and bran
per year and receive 2500 oars of wheat
for the mill proper. In addition to the
export trade the mills supply the Galves-
ton, Houston and, in fact, all the coast
and southeastern and part of central Tex-
as territory and de a pretty good business
in western Louisiana.
It is not alone by reason of its flour that
the Texas Star flour mills have proved a
boon to Galveston. J. Reymershoffer’s
Sons have done more than any other per-
sons in Texas to develop the rice industry.
In conjunction with the flour mills and
elevator is a rice mill which promises in
time to become one of the most important
branches of their enterprise. The rice
mill is not running on full time just now.
This is due to the fact that rough rice
was so scarce last year and is held so
high this year. In addition toe Louisiana
Quarantine has operated against the mill
men, but they expect to be running on
full time again within a month.
The establishment of the rice mill has '
been the means whereby vast tracts of
land previously of no avail have been ■
made fruitful and valuable. These lands ‘
are adapted for no ether eereal but rise.
A plan is now under consideration, for the
using of from 5860 to acres of good
rice lands in the neighborhood of Beau-
perad

mont. The mills get most of the raw rice
from the mosquito fleet. This gives the
mills a big advantage, the transportation
rates being low. Today Galveston com-
petes actively with -New Orleans and other
rice centers. The Galveston mills supply
all Texas and. a good section of Arkansas,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colo-
rado and California. With ware house
and elevator the mills can store from
10,000 to 15,000 sacks of rough rice and the
facilities will be enlarged as the industry
develops.

The banking house of Weekes, McCar-

American national bank, has, in addition
to its manifold strong connections, the
prestige of having behind It the great
wealth of A. H. Pierce, who is perhaps
the richest marij^fii Texas. The firm Is
composed of Capt. Nicholas Weekes, Ed*
McCarthy and Mr. Pierce. Capt. Weekes
has been identified with banking institu-
tions since the war. Ed McCarthy was
cashier of the Island City savings bank
and later cashier of the American na-
tional bank. A. H. Pierce is so well
known as a cattle king and capitalist as
to need no introduction.
Messrs. Weekes, McCarthy & Pierce
bought out the American national bank
three years ago and formed the private
banking house under the style now used.
The bank at once took a position in the
front rank and Its success has been pro-
nounced. Its eastern connections are the
Chemical national and Lazard Freres.
The volume of exchange handled by the
firm Is very large and the extent of its
general business is only measured by the
growth of the city in Commerce and pop-
ulation.

GALVESTON’S OLDEST HOTEL.
Its New Management and Extensive Im-
provements.
Soon after Lafitte graduated from this
island the Washington hotel was built,
and ever since It has been rebuilt, re-
vised and amended until it has reached its
present proportions and importance. Like
the old jackknife with, a new blade and a
new handle, it is ths earn® old Texans’
home. It has in days past aooommodated
more Texans than any other hotel in
Texas. The average Texan will not pay
more than $2 a day for hotel accommoda-
tion. Hence this has always been its
price, though its accommodations are
equal to many who charge more. Of late
it has a new landlord, Mr. James D.
Adams, whose reputation preceded him as
being a man who knows how ‘‘to keep a
hotel.” Since Mr. Adams took the helm
at the Washington vast improvement has
taken place and everything is now in tip
top shape for the reeeption and comfort
of its numerous patrons, excepting the of-
fice, which will be immediately remodeled
with appropriate fittings. His house puts
on just the style toe average Texan re-
quires, and his register prove that he
‘‘gets him.” The $2 a day brings the
Texan every time, and when they return
home they send their friends here.

TEXAS CORN DODGERS.
Rockdale Reporter,
To an ordinary man, the times are
hard. There is no denying It. But they
are being made doubly hard by the in-
cessant dang and clamor of calamity
shrtekers. No person Is going, to starve
to death tn Texas this year. We may
not .always have pie for breakfast, but
a cheerful heart and a contented spirit
can. maJee a corn dodger look like pound

thank your God that you are as well off
as you are, and stop your miserable un-
