HOW He FOUND A FRIEND.

He stood with care stamped on his face
His mind was filled with gloom,
Gaunt want and he were on a race;
He was looking at the moon.
He wondered if the man up there
Was hungry, tired, or sore;
If the people there as everywhere,
Would drive him from the door.
"What shall I do, where can stay?"
He moaned with inward pain;
"My meal last week has gone away
TO meier come back again"
He went, though feeble as a mouse
And found an Uncle kind,
That lived near by the Courthouse
Whar' was it,-are you blind?

of the excess is discovered before the is
suancs of the patent the purchaser should
be required to pay for said excess, when
patent should issue for the section as it
stands. This would inure to the benefit
of the state, accommodate the purchaser,
and relieve the law of a technicslity which
is useless.
In conclusion, the hope is confidently
expressed that the legislature will careful
ly scrutinize and review the subjects of
public lands and titles with view of COR
recting the errors and omissions of past
laws, and of the executors thereof, and
upon basis which recognizes good faith
and honesty of intention on the part of
the person dealing with the state, to take
such action as will heal the omissions, do
full Justice, remove apprehension and un-
certainty, and give the world that conf
dence that is essential to the interests of
our own people and the reputation of the
state. Respectfully,
R. NJ. HALL, Commissioner.

First in importance is the subject of
irrigation. The wonderful results in other
commonwealth through this agency are
insignificant compared 10 what is posi-
BILE from the resources of Texas. With
more irrigable lands than all the states
and territories west of us combined,
and with more prolific climate and soil,
with the experience of the world for in
strnction and guidance, there is no reason
for waste of time, but with wise and fos-
tering laws the harvest may begin, and
months should almost suffice for the con-
version of vast areas in western Texas
into fruitful gardens, furnishing employ
ment, food and homes for myriads. This
work will require large sums of money,
and the laws must be such as will en-
list it.
In this connection it should be stated
that special provision should be made for
the classification and sale of irrigable
lands.

In obedience to the above instructions

road company, in Hardeman, Cottle and
Childress counties was resurveyed. Set
Elements were numerous and rapid and
Improvements made in conformity with
this survey. In 1887, when patents were
demanded By the railroad company. they
were refused. The distribution of the
excuses in the manner prescribed by the
board resulted in making many of the
railroad sections contain more land than
tho certificate entitled them to cover.
Hence, it was required that they be re-
duced to the proper size end the whole
excess left to the school sections. This
was accom- plished without interfering ms-
terially with the improvements Of settlere.
But as it now stands the school sections
contain more land than could be properly
and legally surveyed therefor by virtue of
toe same certificate.
Hence, it is suggested that an act be
passed confirming to the school fluid
these excesses and rstifying the survey as
it nov stsnds.
The acts Of 1883 and 1887 make no
proper provision for be sale of sections
that are excessive, which is also matter
needing remedy.
There are hundreds of such sections in
all parts of the state. Where patents
have issued the matter is beyond the con-
troll of this Office, but where the existence

opinion, meet the appreciation Of
all who are familiar with the pre-

The law makes a provision for
grading teachers certificates, and
the novice, barely competent to in.
struct IN the primary branches, is
placed upon an equal footing, and
may receive the same salary as the
graduate OF the best normal school
i'll the country.
This Is neither Justice nor sound
policy. As an encouragement to
trained teachers and an incentive
to those entering the profession, we
should have first and second class
certificates, with salaries adjusted
according to the class of cert .ticate
held by the teacher.

applicant tor firot-class certificate
in addition to the branches now
taught, be required to passEexami-

tied to receive at least $15 more
