RECENTLY ENACTED CITY ORDI-
NANCE TERMED DRASTIC.
Provision Resulting in Most Strenuous
Kick Is That Forbidding Erection
of Boards Facing Public

That section of the building ordinance
passed by the City Council Wednesday
relating to billboards, has caused a
flurry among billboard owner;-?, >o.ue
of whom regard it as being drastic It
is claimed that the ordinance seeks to
put the billboard people out of business.
The provision which is causing the
most alarm prohibits the erection of a
billboard on or lacm* anv public jarK,
square of municipal building. I rtler
this provision the numerous billboaids

SHIPMENTS OF GRAPES AND
PEACHES WILL SOON CEASE.
Most Vegetables Are Plentiful, and in
Spite of Big Demand Prices Remain
Practically Unchanged—Colo-
rado Products Sell Readily.
Reports from California fruit districts
indicate that the supply of grapes and
late peaches will soon be exhausted be-
cause of recent disastrous rains, and
these fruits, which have been offered
for several weeks at reasonable prices,
will be seen only in limited quantities in
. the San Antonio markets. This condi-
tion, however, has not made Itself felt
as yet in the local retail markets, and
grapes at the City .Market House are
still to be had for 71^ and 10 cents a
pound. A few peaches are offered also
at cents a dozen.
Fruits for preserving were obtained
with such difficulty during the summer
season that many of the San Antonio
housewives have very short stores of
jellies and jams on their pantry shelves.
The excellent cranberries now to be had
at the City Market House for 25 cents
for two full quarts are, therefore, doubly
welcome. The apples, also, are more in
demand for this reason, ranging in price
as they do from 10 to 2o cents a dozen,
and many San Antonio housekeepers are
putting up apples in small quantities as
preserves add Jellies and butter.
A small quantity of gr^en tomatoes
are on sale in the vegetable stalls In the
City Market, providing other possibilities
for the increase of pantry products.
These tomatoes may be bought for 75
cents a peck, and from them may be
made the old-fashioned chow-chow In-
dian chutney, tomato and cabbage pick'e
and other delightful relishes.
A large variety of vegetables ara of-
fered for the choice of the San Antonio
housewives in the stalls of the City Mar-
ket. Green beans may be bought, two
quarts for 25 cents, and okra for 71 a cents
a quart. Tomatoes are sold in the city
.Market, according to size, for three and
four for 10 cents. Eggplants may he
bought at from 5 to 10 cents each, green
pumpkins for the same prices, and tho
6-cent bunch of vegetables are. the same
thai are offered almost the year round,
such as radishes, green onions, turnips,
carrots, mustard greens and bunch let -
tuce. Colorado head lettuce sells for 10
cents a head and Colorado cauliflower
at 15 cents a pound. Cabbage and sweet
and Irish potatoes ar© offered at the
.Market House for the standard retail
prices prevailing in the Individual mar-
kets over the city.
RIVER IS SLOWLY RISING
Rains of l^ast Two Days Have Had
Beneficial Effect Upon the
Stream.
Rains during the past thirty-six hours
are expected to cause the water being
pumped Into the San Antonio River from
the Brackenridge Park well to reach the
downtown district before the scheduled
time. Heavy showers have occurred along
the river from its source to some dis-
tance below the city, and as a result a
rise of about six inches was noticed at
the plant of the San Antonio Gas and
Eleetnc Company on Presa Street yes-
terday afternoon.
Rain water washed from the streets
into the river is believed by G H. Cush-
mau. superintendent in charge of the
pumping in Brackenridge Park, to be re.
sponsible for the rise, and not the water
that is being pumped into the river Mr.
Cushman thinks the pumped water wili
reach the downtown district some time
this afternoon or tonight.
The pump is now being operated twenty
hours a day. The pumping is stopped
at f»:30 o'clock p m. and started again at
10;30 o'clock p m. Pumping at night be-
gan Thursday- night, the pump running
at the rate of about 1.500 gallon* a min-
ute. The volume of water being poured
into the river every twenty hour* is es-
timated at 1,800,gallons When the
pumped water reaches the running water
it is expected that a considerable rise
in the river will be soon noticed in the
downtown district.
Thousands of minnows were noticed in
the river yesterday, they having been dis-
lodged by rain from pools in which they
have been breeding^

ALL LINES SHOW INTEREST
On account of tho absence nf several
directors of the Jobbers and Manufac-
turers' League from the city, the meeting
called yesterday to discuss the next ex-
cursion tor the extension of the trade
of San Antonio was postponed. But it
will be held very shortly, with the prob-
ability that the next excursion will be
made within three weeks or at latest
about the middle of November after the
International Fair. One of the men who
promoted the Yoakum trip said yester-
day:
"It* is up to us to continue these trips.
If we do not, other sections with trade
relations with San Antonio will wonder
why. They will feed the discrimination
and the excursion we have made will do
more harm than good. Business men
generally now realize the importance of
seeing the stores and plants of their
customers in order lo iniorm themselves
ill the matter of credit extensions if for
nothing else."
METHOD IS A SUCCESS.
A number favor an early visit Into
Mexico, perhaps as far as the City of
Mexico, In an excursion like Ihe recent
one of the Chicago Board of Trade Into
Texas. If this method succeeds for Chi-
cago, Kansas City and St. Louis it should
succeed for San Antonio, they argue.
Some Interesting phases of this man-
ner of extending trade were given by
business men yesterday;
Charles Graebner, W. A. Duerler Manu-
facturing Company: The Jobbers and
Manufacturers' League will unquestion-
ably have another excursion at an. early
date. Every expression I have "heard
has been In favor of continuing them. In
fact, after observing the res^.is of the
first we do not see how we possibly
could discontinue them. Our merchants
want them, the railroads want them and
the country merchants want them. Ono
thing that surprised ine very much on
this trip was the progress the section
has made since 1 was on the road fifteen
years ago. In those days there were only
a few places, such as Floresville, York-
town, cuero, Yoakum and Hallettsvllle
that would pay a drummer for his trip.
£*ow there is business every seven miles
and pieuty of it, if it is worked up right.
The trip has shown us what we arc up
against. We have seen a territory that,
cultivated with cart*, will mean a great
deal to this city. Having seen the stocks
carried by the merchants in tills terri-
tory, we have been made familiar, with
the demand and have been brought face
to face with our opportunities.
TRIP IS BROADENING.
Louis Fries, Pierce-Fordyce Oil Associa-
tion: Nothing could be better for San An-
tonio than for Its merchants to get to-
gether. Such excursions as that uf Wed-
nesday are broadening. 1 saw two men
meet for the first time who had been
doing business with each other over the
telephone for eighteen months. On the
next excursion we must give longer ad-
vance notice to the customers we are to
visit.
J£. A. Holnigreen, Alamo Iron Works-
The manufacturer aud jobber had the op-
poi 'jnlty of nwxirig with tho trade and
obtci ing tho manner in which their cus-
tonu s are doing business. One of tho
si: "ris.*> wn<s the progress of Toakum.
wnere w* t-s&w evidence of great pros-
perity. Some three-story buildings liad
just been completed ami other big build-
ings were in course of construction. 1
am heartily in favor of more such trips
If 1 can't go personally I will have a
representative. The league should make
preparations to cara for ils own mem-
bers on these trips. We should not im-
pose on tho hospitality of those we visit.
H. W. Weber, San Antonio Drug Com-
pany: The Yoakum trip was a success
and we shall have no trouble in arung-
lng more. Judging from cordial expres-
sions all along the line, San Antonio will
have no difficulty in holding and extend-
ing her trade territory If proper atten-
tion is given it.
, „J3ANK8 ARE INTERESTED.
W. F. McCaleb, president West Texas
Bank and Trust Company: From the
bankers' standpoint the trade extension
excursion was an excelj^nt thing. We
discovered that Houston bankers had
been there ahead of us and obtained
some accounts belonging to San Antonio,
it is not unprofessional for the banker
to go after business. Bankers of other
cities are doing It and getting results.
An energetic policy on the part of San
Antonio bankers will pay.
Ernest Brown, Alamo National Bank.
To meet the bankers of South Texas
was decidedly worth while. A new bunk—
a customer of ours—had Just opened in
one of the little cities. I had the op-
portunity of greeting Its officers on the
opening day. Unquestionably San An-
tonio banks can extend their business
and their influence by participating in
Hade excursions. There should be more
trips like that to Yoakuru.
J Herbert Compton, real estate: The
spirit back of the trade excursion is the
spirit that builds cities. It was a "get-
together " trip. The way men went
through the train Introducing: themselves
and getting acquainted was good to see.
Nothing succeeds like the co-operative In-
terest siiown on this trip. In the future
we should not neglect Mexico I lived
there for a number of years and I know
personally that the business men of that
country would be Just as appreciative of
a visit as the people of Floresville York-
town, Cuero or Yoakum. San Antonio Is
probably closer to Mexico In a business
way Uian any city In the United States
save the big financial centers. We should
make the most of It. Our schools should
be better advertised in Mexico. Manv
Mexican children are sent here to school
now, but they are few in comparison
Willi the opportunities of our colleges
and academies.
I- W. Riggar, Biggar Bros : No one
could return from that trip without feel
Ing that good will result. I am sure the
visit was appreciated by the merchants
nf the little cities along the Sap Tho
customer likes to know that the sellnr
personaily Is eager to do business with
him I believe thoroughly In trade «

GENERAL RAINS
FALL OVER WIDE
AREA OF STATE
DOWN ON BORDER THE PRECIPI-
TATION WAS IN NATURE
OF CLOUDBURST.
Fall rains, worth hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars to farmers and stock-
men, have fallen in a wide area of the
State. The precipitation ranges from
one inch to almost seven inches, the lat-
ter being recorded at several places
where Texas dips down and almost
touches the Mexican republic.
North of San Antonio the rain will
mean a great deal to the cotton farmers.
It will help along the "top crop" in the
cotton fields if frost does not come too
soon. Should the weather conditions be
favorable the top crop will count for
much in additional revenue to the farm-
ers; at least this was the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday by several freight
traffic men who are well informed on
the crop situation.
As far as the reports received yester-
day show, the rain has been general and
there is hardly a place in the southwest-
ern portion of the State not blessed with
at least an inch of rain. As a general
thing, the precipitation has fallen slow-
ly, so the ground has absorbed the
greater portion of it and little of the
precious moisture has gone to waste ex-
cept in those places where it was a
near cloudburst.
This* rain will help the water supply
in San Antonio, and chiefly so tliat it
gives renewed life to the artesian wells.
A great many of the deep wells here are
affected by the rainfall north of the city,
and as copious rains nave fallen in that
district it is presumed the underground
storage capacity will be replenished to
an appreciable extent.
Train dispatchers here yesterday had
reports of a most encouraging nature.
Practically the entire San Antonio &
Aransas Pass system has been covered.
The precipitation everywhere on this
line was sufficient to help along fall
crops and fill the waterholes and give
winter grass a good start on the ranges.
On the International & Great Northern
Railroad the fall was light between San
Antonio and Cotulla, but from this city
north as far as Taylor the moisture is
described as a "mighty good" rain The
western end of the Southern Pacific did
not escape a drenching and much of the
parched territory takes on new life. At
Uvalde the rainfall is said to have meas-
ured about three inches, and in the vi-
cinity of Eagle Pass it just rained "cats
and dogs," for out there the gauge
measures six and seven-tenths inches,
all of which made the old inhabitants
grow reminiscent in recalling when the
other heavy rains fell. Out around Car-
rizo Spring's, Crystal City and that vicin-
ltv an inch and a half of water soaked
Into the ground. This is the onion ter-
ritory and the water will start a good
season in the ground.
The rain, as much as anything, will
start an immense revival in business,
for it restores confidence to a greater
extent than anything political—at least,
so say the wholesalers and retailers.

Obstruction Complaint Filed.
A complaint filed yesterday with Cor-
poration Clerk Joe Braden by Policeman
T. Mock charges Tom Halbouty with ob-
structing the alley on the west side of
the Maverick Hotel on Houston Street
with a fruit stand and cement sidewalk.
The case will come up for hearing in the
Corporation Court this morning.
It is alleged that the fruit stand ex-
tends one and a half inches beyond the
Maverick Hotel property line Into tho
alley, and that a three-foot cement side-
walk has been constructed in the alley
in violation of the city ordinances.
Halbouty was granted permits to erect
the fruit stand on the Maverick Hotel
property and also to construct a sidewalk.
Clerk 6raden says no permit was given
Halbouty to build the sidewalk in the
alley.
