The residence included a chapel vth a pipe organ costing $120,000. It required four years to build the structure.

Covers the Ground makes a better seedbed not know that the State's total estimated productive power is $2,461,036,962, and of that amount manufacturing has the total of Few, if any, men in Texas are better able to estimate the future of Texas than John W. Carpenter, president and general manager of the Texaa Power Light Company, who declared in a recent interview, "I believe we shall all be astounded at developments in Texas during the next ten years. Loyal Texana have laid solid foundations during recent years, investing their own money along with some finance fronr other sections.

Now it is evident that decentralization of big industry is necessary, manufacturers and financiers are studying Texaa with other Southern states, of course, but Texas need have little fear of severe competition in fields adapted to the resources and products available." Manufacturing on Upturn There is no better barometer by which to measure industrial development than by expansion of the power industry. In that field, Texas shows a gain of more than 100 percent between 1926 and 1929. That gain was an expansion of facilities to provide primary power for large enterprises, users of much energy in plants, mills and factories. While discussing expansion of power facilities, Mr. Carpenter pointed out that company is completing another unit of 56,000 horsepower at its Trinidad generating station.

Almost without exception the several other power companies of Texas have just completed, are now constructing, or are working on plans of kindred projects that Texas' industries, present and future, may have adequate and dependable power. Manufacturers set up exacting specl- Ications to determine location of new nvestments. The huge annual gains manufactured products furnish Berlin WorM Amb.o.dor Frederick M. who declared electric energy waatbld at about fifteen the production cost. This declaration brought a storai of protest at first, but quickly tub- sided when George N.

TMd, representative of the American and Electric Company replied. Wide Spread la Common Commenting upon the statement by Ambassador Sackett, Mr. Carpenter used a rather homely illustration, that of the banana. Cost at the tree practically nothing, at least whon compared to the retail price, but by the time this banana has reached the fruit stand the ratio is probably nearer 1,500 to 1 than 15 to 1, he pointed out. "There is necesarily a wide spread between production cost and the retail price.

Distributing and selling costs almost always exceed the production cost. The electrical industry has spent much time and money seeking a way to reduce the cost of transmitting energy," continued Mr. Carpenter, "and comparison of rates over the past decade shows we have been getting somewhere with that problem." Mr. Carpenter also pointed to domestic water as another example of the spread between the coat of production and distribution for at its source the cost is practically nothing, but impounding, transportation, puri- cation, distribution and office overhead have piled up a large percentage when the cost of production compared to the price paid by consumer. The same application muat be made to distribution of electric energy.

Cost of production is not at all the largest item when one must take into consideration service, transportation, line maintenance, transformer and sub-station costs, line patrols, upkeep of equipment to insure public safety, providing a constant and continuous flow of energy regardless of the demand by the consumers. These are but a few of the items which create the spread between the coat of production and that of sale and distribution of electric energy. Texans Must Unite Efforts In 1929 Texas consumed but 149,306 bales of a cotton crop of about four million balea, resumed Mr, Carpenter. He believes there is no logical reason that such a condition should exist for Texas has numerous advantages to offer textile manufacturers. Texas has had so many natural resources that there has not been sufficient capital with which to develop all of them to fullest extsnt.

Texaa is a new state, with vast re.toarce* needing development. Texas capital. And for Texas to get the capital she she must iw fsir and friendly to capital. Mr. Carpenter believes arc becoming Texas minded.

He known they should, coming as they do from a race of hardy pioneers. They a new empire to develop. Texas' future is in their hands. Mr. Carpenter's concluding urge was, Let's Talk Texas!" Sawdust and Vol.

Statistics of Texas' manufactured products are nteresting, revealing annual totals for 880 with 1899 with 1909 with 1919 with 1925 with $1,237,852,000. Texans can find no reason that manufacturers of many products should neglect the opportunity offered here, Texaa boasts almost a million head of milk cows and heifers, five and a half million head of sheep, an annual cotton crop of about four million bales, 99 percent of the United States supply of sulphur, more rail mileage than any other state, vast deposits of petroleum, asphalt, pottery and brick clay, lime, lignite and coal. There is 'still much timber in Texas, both pine and hardwood. Mills have produced more than a billion and a quarter board feet each year since 1900.

There are but a few of a lone roll call. Power Gain Quoted There is nothing more significant in a rehearsal of during the last quarter of a century than development of the electric power facilities. Power is a primary consideration in industrial development and Texaa power companies provide rates competitive with other areas. Abundant lignite and natural gas enable central station power companies to produce energy that is found attractive for power fay many manufacturers.
