The Bryan area faces a serious oil mill shortage as a cotton crop season approaches. Without a mill, the cotton seed market collapses and prices of hulls rise. The Bryan Cotton Oil Company directors plan a meeting to decide on rebuilding the mill, with strong local hope for an affirmative decision.
The article argues that if the current company abandons plans a local oil mill must be built by the people of Bryan. It suggests repurposing the ginnery to house an 80 ton mill with new machinery and a seed house, using existing foundations. Directors’ next meeting is awaited due to the gravity of the situation.

Bryan College Station Texas April 7 The Bryan College Electric Railway Right of Way Company gains Texas charter. Incorp members include Profs N H Brown F Johnston and Bryan leaders A W Wilkerson W P Connelly J W Batts. Intent is to secure right of way and terminals and lure outside capital to build a line linking the college with Bryan, aiding future growth and student capacity.
