Texas Oil Finds and Regional Prosperity Highlight Era
Texas rises as a future oil powerhouse with Beaumont discoveries near Jefferson County yielding 15 000 barrels daily and promises of short pipelines to Gulf refineries. The piece traces Texas oil history from Corsicana in 1874, notes rising production through 1898, and cites the broader eastern Texas field expansion toward the sea, while linking this to national supply and regional economic growth. It also covers Whittemore creamery finances and milk production along with a Bliss table on church membership growth from 1890 to 1900 showing substantial gains, then previews a Call opera house program featuring three plays beginning January 28 with King Perkins Co. and a billing of Buckeye Qheek and Texas.
