A fees months sure there waa ronaldersble tetk
IB CI Rase regarding tha building of a big cotton

were ready to take hold f the proposed enter-
prise and push It to aaarcessful roneurnmstloa as
a result of the encouragement they had rerelvan

rnterprltes that would be of the greetest poesltv
benefit to this rttr hevs beet permitted to lepe
Intn a slate of aomnnlenrr that does net appear
very hopeful or promising at thia time.
According to the estimate of Herretary Hester
of the New rirleena fotton Exchange the atata of
Texaa Is due to make the biggeat cotton crop thia
year In the history of the stele end nine tenths of
thia cotton crop will be ahlpped out of the state
as usual to he manufactured Into cotton goods
tnifh of which will he brought heck lata the state

In both directions Just as they have been eccus-
tomt'd to do for lima Immsmorlsl fn commentlfr
on 'he auhject of cotton mtlti In Texas tha Houston
Chronlcls sera:
'Texas Is the greatest cotton- producing stste In
ths t'nlon. sad one of ths greatest cotton producin
areas in ths world but of alt tha cotton produced
In Texaa very little Is manufactured at home the
most of It being shipped to Maeeachueetts or Old
England
"This Is not as It should bo. There Is no good
snd sufficient resson why this ststs should not
manufacture the most of its own cotton and re
reive the vast revenues accruing from the finished
prruluet which are now going to other sections

Ing Is the menufacturlng Instinct In those who con
trol ihs wealth and capital of the state.
"It would saem that the :-uslness men of Texas
are not prepared to embark on great manufacturing
enterprises as jet. At all events the state is far
behind many of Its neighbors In this respect
"Possibly an explanation for such conditions may
be found In the fact that during the peet thirty
veers Isnd speculstlon haa proved more attractive
to Inventors thsn any manufacturing project possi-
bly could have. The greet advance In land values
from' one end of Texas to the other. Incident to the
coming of railroads erected opportunities fer accu-
mulating fortunes with a minimum of effort. For
this reason the hulk of Texas capital has been en
gaged In real eatate enterprises.
"Manufacturing requlr'ea conservative manage
ment dose application and personal supervision In
other words manufacturing means real work.
Ind speculation does not require any of these
things It Is business In spots and leaves those
engaged In It much time for Insure snd smusemrn;
Quite naturally land speculstlon is more attractive
to an ordinary human being than manufacturing.
"There will come a time however when land
speculetlon In Texas will prove less lucrative and
therefore less attractive than It Is today for the
very good reason that when Texas farm lands shall
have reeched a reasonable level they will ceese
sdvsnce. In that event capital will be compelled
to seek other fields for Investment and It should be
laying the foundation for them now.
"Successful manufacturing cannot be built up in
n night. It requlrea years of training sad experi-
ence snd e beginning should bs made In Taxes

Meerschaum Mines Steady Shipper
"liver CI vi ;.. "opt. 7. The world's supply
of meerschaum h-a corns for centuries from one
small locality la Asia Minor. The crude methods
in uee there have been thorough and fer year the
supply haa been gradually decreasing and the price
In consequence Increasing. This win give soms In-
dicetlon of the Importance of the meerschaum mines
located northeast of Sljver City on the Sapello which
r the only mines of tills kind la America.
While there has been more or less work done on
these mine for years by Individuals and a consid-
erable amount of money spent the work hss bssn

wordsi there waa faulty exploring and Uck of ys-
stm and the great change for the better la the

la which the property a a whole has been hsndted.
The general character of the materialised ground

ing Inasmuch as the ground is not heavy and stands
well yet the Irreguler shape of the ore lenses re-
quire" the constant attention of the management
to avoid a large amount of unnecessary expense.
The knowledge required can only bs obtained by
practical mining experlenc... end the policy now be-
ing followed by the present company wtll la a short
time leave the property In shape for a continuous
large production of ore overcoming the uncertainty
of ore production aa experienced previously. The
result will be tu udd another profitable enterprise
to the many already in operation In this district
snd that from a source not heretofore thought of
by mining men and to which comparatively little
attention has been paid With the general Ignoranca
concerning meerschaum It Is little wonder that the
Importance of this mineral should havs been over-
luoked or for s long time lightly considered.
J. W Bible w ho has aaslstsd the various pros-
pectors and companies in ths development of this
district became interested and assumed th man-
agement of the reorganised company about a year

Hard Woods of the Philippines.
A grest deal has been heard but little known oa
thta side of th world of the rare and beautiful hard
woods of the Philippine Islands and some sf the
stories told msy hsve suggested that the imagina-
tion had not been neglected but a practical demon;
stratlon that these storied were founded on feet mey
be found In the offices of General Fran Mclatyr.
chief ef-the Bureau of Insular Affair arhere there
haa Just bean rseetved from the Islands enough fur
nlture to furnleh two office rooms Msny persorx
hsve celled out of mingled Interest snd curiosity
and hsve critically examined this furniture in ad-
miration that could not be suppressed.
About a yesr ago. as ths story goes it occurred
to the Insular Bureau which has charge of the
effalrs of civil government in tha Philippines end
and Porto Bleo ss well aa of the affairs of the
customs receivership of Sento Domingo that It
would be e good idea to have In Washington for
the Inspection of visitors and others Interested In
our far away Islands an exhibit of one of thalr
valuable resource This ides prompted the thought
thet the exhibit might be mads useful as well as
ornamental and it was therefore decided to have
made In the Philippine Islands out of the native
hardwoods and by native workmen enough furni-
ture for the rooms In the War Department building
occupied by the Chief of the Bureeu of Insular Af-
fairs to show the possibilities as well aa the beau
tiful color and grain of the Philippine hardwoods.
The governor general of the Islands was consult-
ed and gave his prompt and hearty approvsl snd
the action necessary to put the thought Into effect
was taken at once Drawings and specifications as
to dimensions and style were prepared In Washing-
ton and forwarded to Manila and officials regard
It as a compliment to the American instruction as
well as the native mechanical dexterity that these
drawings snd specifications were followed down the
minutest detsll snd nothing added or omitted. Tha
furniture wss Shipped hslf way round ths world
sad ha Just recently arrived In exceptionally good
condition. It Is made of red marra or Philippine
mahogany and ta of a light claret color shading
to slightly darker has a naturel finish with a high
polish and Is strikingly grained.
This furniture shows ths ability and dexterity
of the natives in their work as wall as their cepeclty
to learn They turn out only manufactures of the
beet quality and of the highest grade of workmen-
ship. They depend entirely on local material for
their output and the Filipinos srs taught the value
of native raw materiel end products
The policy of the government from the very b
ginning ha been one of preparing the Filipinos for
Indtistrlsl efficiency. In the schools this is partlcu
larlv not less ble. Due to the favorable system of or
gsntxHtlon an industrial and vocational program of
education haa been put into operation which reaches
down into the very primary grades of ths public
schools and starts the hoys and girls on an Industrial
career that turns them out productive members of
society.
In addition to making use of the fin native lum-
ber found In such abundance other product of the
country the existence of which in many cases waa
scarcely known to the Filipinos much lees thslr com-
mercial value appreciated have been put into the
henda of the pupils in the schools end under the
guidance of the native teachers aad the supervlaloa
of athe American teachers mad Into products for
ths markets of the rountry.
In tha variety of natural colors aad multiplicity
oi ahapee and uses no basketa In the world can sur-
pass these produced by the pupils of ths public
schools of the Philippines They msks hats la dura-
bility aad texture equal to the Panama hat. In-
deed many of the so-celled Baakok hata coma from
the Philippine islands The Filipino girls of ths
public schools make lace and embroidery which
equals the finest quality of hand-made product of
Europe. Many other products such as mate slippers
cloth etc . more local In character are made la the
Industrial classes of the public schools
A aoted educator from the Called States after
Inspecting the work of the Philippine schools sad
the Industrial features la particular remarked that
"ether nations one of these deys will bs coming to
the Philippines to see how the educational triumphs
have been won "
Bilibid prison at Mealla la considered one ef the
boot industrial schools for sduMs In the world. It
is not coavtct labor la tbe accepted sense of ths
word. Very early In the history of American oc-
cupation of the Philippine Islands an Industrial de-
partment sf Pliii t.1.1 prison wss established Eeuh
