The Founding Mest


Col. J. P. Moore, general livestock
agent Of the Texas and Pacific. returned
last night from trip over the line as far
west as MOnahnns, and reports every
thing lovely all over the West. He stat es
that the cotton business of the road west
OF Fort Worth this year will he much
greater than it has ever been, stations
which have Dever shipped cotton before
having considerable 10 move this year.
AT Abilene, he said, the depot platform
was crowded with cotton bales, and even
nj Colorado City there was cotton await
Ing shipment. He estimates that 400
bales will be moved from Colorado City
this season.
AZ 10 the movement of cattle he said
nothing wns being done NJ present, cat
tlemen doing little or no shipping. He
is of the opinion, however, that as soon
US the Indian Territory has been cleaned
up and the shipments from the North
west are over, which will be about Octo-
Der Is, that the heaviest movement of
cattle over the Texas aud Pacific from
the West known for years will begin.
Col. Moore bases his belief on what he
saw aud heard during this trip West,
and says that everything indicates that
he is right in his estimates.
al have been in Texas since 1871, -
he said, land l am free to say that l
never have seen the country along the
line of the Texas and Pacific west from
Fort Worth look so well as it does at
present. The crops have been much
better there than in this part of the
state, and the people all along the line
appear to be in fine spirits. -

TEXAS IMMIGRATION.

Tom Green county is swarmlng with
prospectors from the East and North
and u great deal of land has changed
hands there both for homes and invest
ments.
The Plano Enquirer says: Some
seventy or more immigrants from Ten
nessee. have recently arrived in Collin
county, and will make their homes
among us provided they can get lands in
suitable bodies to cultivate. The serious
drawback at present, however, is that
the farms are too large. If our land own
ers would cut their farms up into forty I,
sixty or eighty acre tracts, build neat
houses on them, they would pay better
and increase the population of the county
much more rapidly. The majority of
the immigrants coming to the state are
in poor circumstances, and are therefore
unable TO run these large farms, conse-
quently they drift into those counties
that can furnish them with small tracts
of land, and it will continue to be thus
until some plan of furnishing them with
small farms is adopted.
TExARKANA, Sept. 1.-THE article
published III THE GAZETTE some weeks
ago announcing the coal find in this
county has at tracted several capital
lists to this place to investigate. Among
them are two Pennsylvania men, who on
casual glance have made liberal offers
to the owners of the lands.

TEXAS IN TYPE.
TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER.

Pilot POINT, Sept. l9.-There was
| quite wind and rain storm here this
| morning. The gin of Cooper, Litz & Co.
had its big smokestack blown OF, dis
aiding il for several days. II is reported
! that Friendship schoolhouse, four miles
south, was blown of its foundation. The
wind has done serious injury to the cot
| ton, blowing much that was open out
and scattering it over the fields. Cotton
| is coming in quite lively, at the rate of
eighty 10 100 bales day. The price to-
day is IS so to 50. 80 per hun ired.
ABILENE, Sept. 19.-The unusually
warm weather of the past week was
| brought 10 q sudden termination at an
| early hour this morning, when the wind
changed to the north and is now blowing
| quite u norther, as well as dTiZziing rain,
rendering winter clothing and oyercoats
quite comfortable.
TEHUACANA, Sept. ia good rain
has fallen and the farmers are sowing
much turnip seed to supply the lack of
fruit this fall.
NEVADA, Sept. IA fine rain fell
here to-day, much to the relief of many
with whom water Is very scarce, but 10
the damage of others in the henEt Of
cotton picking season.
CoLLINsvILLE, Sept. ia ground
soaking rain visited this section last
night, and farmers are delighted TO
know that stock water Is plentiful and
that green pasturage will soon be album
daut. Wheat sowing and cotton picking
is now the order of the day.
TERRELL, Sept. ia terrific norther
blew up about 6:l5 this morning and
lpa Il han ha
brought steady rain for about three
hours from the northeast, making the
roads and streets sloppy. At first the
clouds looked very black and danger
Gus. and the wind was very heavy and
cold. The sun shone out about noon,
though indications OF rain still remain.
Cotton pickers have rather been in de-
mand here but there are about enough
now for awhile.
PLAINvIEw, Sept. 1S.-The possibii-
ties for farming on the plains are being
demonstrated in very satisfactory
though limited way this year. The
county of Hale has only recently COM
menced to settle, and consequently very
little has been planted, but what efforts
have been made in this direction have
been we'll repaid. Watermelons OF the
finest quality aud of enormous size have
been for sale in Plainview all summer.
Several have weighed over fifty pounds
each, and the last which was brought in
to-day, weighed sixty-two and one half
pounds. Several patches of corn planted
this year have matured we'll, aud from
what has been done with this cereal on
sod land, it is safe to say that the yield
will be at least thirty-ive bushels per
acre the second year. Wheat has done
exceedingly well and will be the staple
crop of this section. Vegetables of all
kinds produce abundantly and are of fine
quality. After seeing the crops grown
here this year there can be no doubt in
the mind of any one in regard to the
ada liability of the soil and climate to
agricultural pursuits.

A Reckless RaiIroader.

Mr.. w. W. Finley has taken a desper-
ate and dangerous step. He has con-
scented to accept the Craftsmanship OF
the Western passenger association.
Whether it was the Sl2 200 salary that
tempted him to this rash act, or whether
he is prompted by a desire to improve
the ethics of the association is not known,
but, no matter what the motive, he has
done u reckless thing-bearded the wild
cats in their den, and he will be lucky
indeed if he eau do anything with the
crowd that nearly bereft chairman God
dard of his reason. If FINLEY does not
wish himself back in the freight depart
ment before six months then he is indeed
remarkable man.
