Speaking of wheat, one of our Red
river valley farmers, a Mr.. S. P. Haw-
kins5 was in town to-day and gave us his
yield of wheat from thirty-twO bushels
sown, which was niDety-three bushels,
making Iwenty-nine bushels and a
fraction to each acre. Half of the thirty
two acres was sod land. The
experience of Mr.. Hawking Is about
that OF most OF or farmers. Some crops
have yielded a tribe less and others a
fraction more. 1t is said by those who
are well posted that the county will aver
age at least twenty bushels TO the
acre, and this, considering the fact that
choice lands can yet be had in this and

acre, accounts for the rapid settlement of
this section. Lands are changing hands
rapidly and to parties who will

THE GAZETTE prints some expressions of
opinion this morning concerning an or
ganized movement to promote immigra-
ton to the western half of the state. If
the people of the west wish to organize
for this purpose, Fort Worth will help;
but the western counties must move first
Fort Worth favors everything that
means good to the west, but
in this matter the west should take the
lead. If those western counties that
desire to cooperate IN such movement
will lead off, Fort Worth will follow.

ONE MAN, 8 WOPF

An article in to- days GAZETTE, taken
from the Boston Herald, shows what
work will do for town, and what one
live, wide-awake man can do when sus-
tanned by the efforts and money of his
neighbors. Denison has taken on a new
growth, and Mr.. Rice was the
medium through which the people
worked to put the ball in mo-
ton Towns in Texas that ex-
pect to grow without effort will find
themselves lost in the race. Texas wants
people and money, people and factories,
and the money is north of the Ohio river.
The town that works for this capital and
secures it will distance the town that
neglects to do so. Public spirit
is needed in the work of build
ing up cities-the growth of
town enhances the interest of each IN
dividuaI, and the man who works for the
town works but for each individual in
the town. Public spirit is an invest
ment, and if every man in town gives
nothing and holds on there will be Moth
ing to give or hold on to.
Let every town i'll Texas follow the
example of Denison, and the result
will be the same: put up money and en-
ploy a man to work for the town among
those VINO have the capital that seeks
investment. And that capital Is in the
North and East.
Denison has set an example of energy,
public spirit and intelligently directed
effort to all Texas

to indulge in the pastime. Every amateur
who takes it up and goes through the coun-
try taking viewst induces others TO Join the
ranks. Thus amateur photography has
spread and become popular craze through
out the country. 1t is not temporary
craze, either, but has come to stay, and the
number of photographers is constantly in
creasing.
The Improvements in photography have
enabled it to be applied to many uses for
which it was formerly not available. The
lash-light has made it possible to photo
graph tunnels and rooms where the sunlight
does not penetrate. Manufacturers are
using Photographic views of their machin-
cry much more than in former years. Ex-
ploring and surveying parties are fitted with
Photographic apparatus. All of the re-
Gently fitted up men-of-war have amateur
outfits on board, and the departments at
Washington employ the camera for many
purposes. Insurance men have taken ad-
vantage of instantaneous photography to
obtain views of fires, explosions and acci-
dents as means of advancing their bust
ness. In fact, there is scarcely line of
business in which photography is not now
used in some manner. The outlook for the
future is that still further improvements
will be made in the methods and the appa.
ratus, and that the utility of photography
will be greatly increased.

RECENT IMPROVEMENTS. =

The Dry Plate and PhotoEraphinE Under
Water by Electric Light.
The improvements in Photographic plates
and apparatus has enabled us to do work
now that would not have been possible a few
years ago. The present may be called an
era in plate making. With one of the latest
plates made, and one that works more ran
idly than any one we have, 1 took a room 10
feet long and 10 feet wide by the light of
two ordinary gas jets in two and one-half
minutes. The result was perfect photo
graph. This feat has only been possible
since the new plate came into use. With a
flash light 1 have taken a whole audience
in an uptown theater. The fash light con-
sists Of magnesium powder combined with
pulverized carbon, and when ignited it pro-
duces a brilliant white light for an instant.
Flash lighting was first introduced in 1851.
when a ribbon of magnesium was used. The
present flash light has been in use only
about Is months.
Photographing under water is one of the
latest things that have been done Electric
light is used to illuminate the water, and
the camera is placed below the surface in a
case similar to diving bell The bottom
of the ocean, with all of its curious forma-
tious and vegetable life, can be taken in
this way. Photography has a wide aud i'm
portant use in astronomy, and quite num-
Der of photographs from balloons have been
taken by the instantaneous process to illus
trate the use of the camera in war times
The introduction OF the dry plate has
made instantaneous photography possible,
and many curious views are produced,
Crowds of people, parades, horse races and
many other occurrences are reproduced,
With fash light and a camera the horrors
of the slums are taken. have been in
queer places with detective camera under
nv arm and a companion with me to
operate the fash light. The picture is taken
the instant the fash goes off, and then we
often find it convenient to get out of the
way. At some of the seaside resorts where
bathing is the chief amusement amateur
photographers are ruled out, and anyone
carrying a asuspicious-looking box is politely
requested to leave the beach.

There are now "a societies of amateur pho
tographers in the United States. The So
ciety of Amateur Photographers of New
York is the largest and best known organi-
Zation of photographers in the country. It
was started in 1884, and now has 300 members
Frequent meetings are held at their rooms
and matters of interest to photographers
are discussed, lantern-slide exhibitions
given, and new methods demonstrated. The
proceedings of the society are published
every month. A library of works on
photography is kept, and periodicals are on
file. The society has a professional
photographer in attendance. to do printing
for the members, and to assist them in their
work. There is large camera, a copying
camera, an optical lantern, dark room and
all the facilities necessary for the most diff
cult work. Membership in the society is a
great advantage to amateurs. They get the
benefRof the experience of others, and have
certain standing when they travel. The
society collectively can do many things that
individuals cannot do. The use of the dark
room is of great importance to the MANY
amateurs who live in boarding houses. or
have not suitable rooms at their own house.

Mr.. Treganowan, the art dealer, of 152
Wylie ave., who, in connection with his
general art store and picture frame estab-
lishment, carried on the portrait business
for the past years, has fitted up a studio
especially for making crayon portraits, and
will from date of this insertion make life
size crayon portraits for the small sum of
$6. He has become convinced that many
people would have life-size pictures made
but for the enormous price asked for them.
In order to bring the price within the reach
of all, he will from this date make crayon
portraits, life size. at $6. Who would not
pay this price for a large crayon portrait
Mr.. Treganowan's work is we'll known and
has always given satisfaction. He has been
in business in this city for years and is
well and tavorably known. A guarantee
will be given with each order to insure sat-
istsction. Orders by mail promptly at
tended to. Correspondence in reference to his
work solicited. His prices in picture
frames, engravings, etc., is conceded to be
the cheapest place to deal.
