1t Is tooearly for Harper to commence

its success in retaining tlSe terminus of
the railroad. 1t is one thing 70 make
promises and another to fulfill those
promises. Now, there is no certainty
about the people Of that town keeping
open any cattle trail to the railroad,
while it is more than probable they will
do nothing of the kind Ne doubt the
committee who have bad this matter in
charge and who have reported such
splendid success in securing the trail

there; but they have been entirely too

Inrentors, ASSOCIATION.

Austin has Il number of inventors;
many of them have inventions that
will become staple as soon as they are
introduced, but are not able t. put
them out. 1t is proposed to organize
an Inventors association, such as eX-
ist in the North, and East, and West.
Few people have any idea that many
of the convenienceS enjoyed are the
results of home study and invention.
A gentleman of Austin is the invent
or of an improvement on steam en-
gineS; several parties here have in
vented or improved vehicles, plows.
and other agricultural machinery, all
in common use. The people at home
here never stop to think that many
conveniences they use, and which
bear the stamp of an Eastern or North
ern factory, are the product of home
talent and genius, and have been sold
to strangers, because we are in the
habit of turning up our noses at any
thing invented or made by our neigh
borS, thus forcing them to give the
eastern and northern capital. which
is not slow to take up the ideas of
others and make money from them.
The object of organizing an invent
or's society is to furnish every in
ventOr a channel through which he
can put his inventions on the market.
Oftentimes the most profitable inven-
lions are sold by the inventor for a
mere song, because he has no means
or influence to show the world its
utility, and then he S, es the one who
purchased it growing rich. This is
very common; and these associations
remedy this evil by raising a mutual
benefit fund to all the members alike,
whether inventors or not. The shares
will be so much, and an invention
will be rated as one or more shares,
as an association may vote and decide.
Such an association certainly would
be of benefit and profitable.

private enterprise in such matters.
The report is quite elaborate and in
dlcateS that the commissioners came
to their conclusions after careful con-
slderation of the advantages and dis
advantages involved in the points
proposed for their selection.
STATE DEPARTMENT.
The charter of the Houston, Sabine
and Orange Railway company was
filed with the secretary of state. Cap
tai stock 100000.
CoMPTROLLER's DEPARTMENT.
Deposits amounting to about $500
for account of general revenue, and
about $500 for the available school
fund were warranted yesterday for
payment into the state treasury. The
receipts this year complete to June |,
1883, exceed those for the year pre-
viOus to June l, 1882, $46O,O0O. This
indicates the growth and prosperity
OF the state to very gratifying eX-
tent.
THE CAPITAL BUILDING.
Gov. Ireland, Treasurer Lubbock,
Comptroller Swain, Land Commits
sioner Walsh and perhaps some of
the other state officers visited the
Oatmanville quarry to inspect the
stone there which they report they
find to be amply abundant and suita-
BILE. This agrees with the views of
the contractors reported by us some
weeks ago. The quarry will proba-
bly, be selected as the source of sup
ply.
