value, and retain the power to say to
the settler: Here is a home on long
time and easy terms" 1t is certainly
better for the state to have five hun
dred families representing one thous-
and dollars each, than to have one
man, or syndicate, representing one
million.
TO THE UNIVERSITY AND ASYLUM
LANDS
May be applied. with equal force, the
suggestions relating to public school
lands. The one million acres of uni
versity land, situated in Tom Green.
Crockett, Pecos and Preside counties,
might be yielding a considerable rev.
enue If there were any authority for
their lease. These lands are now
largely occupied by sheep and cattle,
and the owners of these herds have
repeatedly written for information us
to the mode of getting control of them,
either by lease or purchase.
THE LAND OFFICE BUILDING.
At the last regular session an ap-
preparation of one thousand dol
lars was made for repairs to
this building. As no mode was
prescribed of expanding this sum,
l invited, by letter, proposals for the
removal of the old stone stairway
which was endangering the building,
by bursting the south wall, and the
erection of a self-supporting iron stair
way in its place. Mr.. b. Radkey, of
this city, was the lowest bidder, and
to him l awarded the contract for the
sum of SS45. The remainder of the
appropriation l expended in additional
supports TO the roof, and in iron grid
erS to restore and sustain the walls
vouchers for the expenditures are
filed with the comptroller, and would
respectfully invite an inspection of
the work done that its merit may be
appreciated
The called session of 1882, at your
request, appropriated the sum OF six
thousand dollars to provide for fire
proof ceiling for the second story.
This appropriation was based on the
estimates of an architect then in the
employ of the state; but, when they
were reviewed and tested, it was found
that sufficient strength had not been
provided for; and to make the ceiling
absolutely secure. new drawings and
estimates. with necessary appropria-
ton, would have to be made. In view
OF the Importance of this safeguard,
would respectfully urge that you
recommend the appointment of a
special committee to take this matter
in hand, and, after thorough investiga-
ton. to report the improvement found
necessary.
In 1879 1 found the file room crowd
ed, and had a second room fitted up
with file cases, which gave an adj
ditional space for fifty-two thousand
files. This space is now filled; and
we have twenty thousand two hun
dred files for which file cases must be
provided.

sensation by cutting his throat with
suicidal intent at the depot to-day.
He came from Denison on the south

and it cannot be told whether he was
after the clippers or had met and slain
the hackman and was escaping the
