TEXAS COAST '
-WATERWAYS.
The Rockport ' Convention Is
;. Looked Upon as of Much
Importance
-. Galvestonj Texas, June- 24
The call issued by Governor
Culberson yesterday foc-a con
vention at Rockport on. August
25 for the purpose of consider
ing the developing and opening
of the chain of baj's, lakes and
bayous lying parallel to and
along the gulf coast, from the
motith of the Rio Grande to the
Mississippi-, may prove to be
of importance to Galveston:
Milch thought has beerf given
tohis subject by eminent en
gineers and it is believed that
the time is hot far distant, when
the project of opening ,up the:
w4iole coast country , to. inland
steamboat . navigation : will .be
launched by -the -government.
Itis-more than likely that
all the influencs and support of
Galveston will be given to any
reasonable proposition thatthe
Rockport convention frames.

territory from theRio Grande
to the Mississippi in conjunc
tion with the improvement of
such waterways as the Trinity
and Brazos would be of im
mense value to Houston and
Galveston. Between this city
and the Rio Grande there ex
tends, with but few breaks, a
chain of bays which require
but a moderate amount of
dredging to make them navi
gable to boats of light draft. The
cutting of canals through the
low lands that separate these
baj's would make a clear
route from Brazos Santiago to
this city. This work has been
surveyed and is entirely
practicable. The cost of devel
oping the project and carrying
it through to success would be
very large, but it would be
small in comparison with the
manifold benefits it would re
sult in.
.The establisment of aisystem
of inland navigation allng the
Texas coast would brinf into
touch with ;the world a wonder
ful territory of fertile, semi
tropical land, which only awaits
the farmer and the horticiihur
ist to make it one cf .the most
productive sections of the coun
try. The want of facilities for
cheap and rapid transportation
has hitherto prevented the col
onization and cultivation of
these lands. -
With the inland b&vM opened
up to navigation ivould be
uatnral to develap and deepen
the various bayous and -entrances
of the bays so as to
extend the territory open to
waterway communication.
The deepening of the many
rivers of Texas so as to make
them navigable as far frohi the
mouth as possible within a
reasonable cost is-iikely to be
put before congress before long.
These facts, and that the
prosperity of such Coast towns
as Browhsville-j Corpus Ghristi,
Portlandj Rockport, Port La
vaca, Matagorda, and Yelasco
will depend largely upon the
utilization of the inland water
route will-give to the Rockport
meeting a strength aijd-an in
fluence that will be felt flrrough-
out th.e.State. Brazoria, Matagorda-,
Jackson, Calhoun,- Re
fugio, Aransas San Patricio;
Nueces and Cameron counties
are deeply interested in the
proposition tu establish an in
land navigation route and any
proposition tending to brine
the project to the attention of
congress in order to get govern
mental aid in establishment 0
this - undertaking will receive
their hearty support.
