Will San Antonio Come up to the
Scratch?
Tlm Lk.ht reporter in his daily rounds
among the stock dealers found that every-
body hail unit speculating on the situa-
tion in the real estate market and had
even stopped commenting on the benevo-
f<-nt reappearance of Jupiter Pluvius the
favorite topic being the refrigerator.
Some of the more mathematically inclined
were figuring on the benefits of such a
plant to the city and some of the esti-
mates were handed the Licht for its con-
sideration who in turn turns them over
to tLt npoplp vf San Antonio
The ie\as Pac'Jua amt Ilressed Beef
coifipany. of which Capt. Stafford is a
representative contemplating establish-
ing refrigerators at four points in Texas
viz: Fort Worth. Columbus. Victoria and
San Antonio. This company has a con-
tract to furnish G5O tons o' dressed beef to
English parties every fortnight. The
lieeves ale to be slaughtered and dressed
at the stations named ami sent to some
point on the Texas coast for shipment to
England. Dm-of lhc<c station* will beat
San Antonion in u hich case it is r.-adily
predicted that san Antonio Mould from
the great cattle growing country tribu-
tary. noulu furni'h by far tin-greater
portion of this demand from the sheer
force of her greater ability to do
so than the others. The lowest estimate
ligul e- on ImUNHI beeves Would be slaugh-
tered hi l re annuaily. with the po—iliiiity
of tribling t he number in t he next decade.
Anyway the lowe-t estimate represents
value to tiie amount of s.’.ia-u m. Be-
side- it Mill l>e the means of rendering
Texas cattlemen to a great measure of the
Big Four. ami the freight charge- of >7
per head to Chicago taken off Mill cut a
considerable ligure in enhancing the val-
ue of cattle he>-e. 'l'l.i- increase in the
Vearß bll-ines-of tpe city i- especially
referred to tic bu-im -- men of San An-
tonio.
But lid- entt lining pro-peel is com-
mingled Mith the consciousness that the

habit of leaving home and coming to the

Delegates Returned
Pr< sident E. B. Kaighn and ( . Arthur
Brown returned last evening Hom Mar-
-hall. Tex. for vv hich place they loft here
last Wednesday to attend tlm Young
Mens' Christian association convention
assembling there. Un their being inter-
viewed as to the results likely to occur
front the proceedings of the convention
they spoke in eulogistic terms oi the
cordiality and unanimity that character-
ized the nieetings. that apart from the
fact that it wa- the most successful of
any hitherto Imld in the state not the
least important was the passing of a reso-
lution having for its object the extension
of Y. M. C. work tlm appointment of a
state secretary for its supervision and tlm
need of a fund of s3.<xu for that special
work. Tlm meeting eventuated in some
s2.B<: I being subscribed w hereby its eat ly
initiation was a-siired. It is anticipated
the Y. M.C. A. in this state will at no
distant period attain to proportions akin
to those in eastern and northern states.
Mr. W. J. B. Patterson ex-president of
tiie local association was the president of
tlm convention.
