WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, 70,
PREPARE FOR THE CROWD.

San Antonio stands booked to en-
terrain larger number of citizens
during the holding of her Fair this
year than she has ever congregated
within her limits. This fact is mani
fest, from the correspondence on file
in the managers office, and from the
reports made by visitors to San An
tonic from all over Texas, and from
the press comments and announce
ments from this and other states. 1t
is of the very first Importance that
provision, and adequate provision, be
made for the crowds that will
throng this city. Restaurants and
hotels and boarding houses will sup
ply meals and there is no danger of
any lack on this score, but it will not
be so with lodging accommo-
dations. The committee of COM
fort should at once arrange
for work and acting in con-
cert with the officers of the Fair asso-
citation make every effort to secure
rooms, that those who come to spend
week with us during the best fair
and exposition ever opened in Texas,
may find on their coming to this city
the information they seek. The can
vass of the city has already begun.
Every householder who can spare
room should not hesitate to do it, and
give the committee such list Of
available rooms as will enable them
to provide comfortably for all who
apply. 1t will not do to arrange for
our visitors on the basis of last years.
requirements. There will be double
the number of people here to be pro.
vided for this year than were here
last year and double the accommoda.
ton will be required. There is nc
difficulty in securing the rooms in
this city if our people are properly ap
preached. Every year there is 6
growing recognition of the needs anC
claims of strangers who visit us fol
purposes of pleasure and inves tment
and more ready response given t,
requests for the public good. IN,
gentlemen who have undertaken t,
canvass the city for room
are entitled to the most cordia
reception, and the fullest information
it is possible to give. If refusals mus
be made, let them be made in al en-
couraging, not in discouraging way
1t is not necessary to say anything t
San Antonio people about exorbitan
" charges or extortion. Our citizen
have reputation for dealing NOR
generously with strangers than tn
citizens of any other city in Texa,
1t was generally remarked during tn
holding of the State Democratic COZ
vention that the old prices ruled, an
1t was the same last fair, and will b
this. Reasonable accommodations ,
reasonable rates Is all that can /
asked, and these San Antonio mu
provide if she expects from year
year to see increasingly large nun
bers gathering within her gates. l.
the list of those who will furni:
rooms be prepared and given I'll
press and filed at convenient plac
for reference, and the work will

Morning in the Hills

Faint streaks of light in the far-down East,
outlined by an unseen pencil.
The artist hand of the davn's high priest
Who spreads OF a Swallowed stencil
The silver hues of the mornings wings.
The dusk and the darkness taking,
While the old earth signs. and the pine top
sings:
awake, for the day is breaking"
The gray squirrel barks, for the woods are
still
And the silence makes him Drawer,
Ard he sees the sun behind the hill,
Where the shadows twist and waver-
The gray squirrel watches the dead leaves
whirl
That the sun no more shall nourish,
High on branch with his tail a-curl,
Like writing-master' flourish.
The partridge drums on an.old dry log,
haunt of worm and cricket,
Down near the edge of a cranberry bog,
Close by white birch thicket
And at times the reverberation floats
Through the air so round and mellow
That it sounds as sweet as the basso notes
Ola maestro's violincello.
The gray squirrel barks and the partridge
drums,
And the sunlight follows faster,
And over the pines the wind-god comes
With the touch of an untaught master;
And he strikes the chords from maze Of
limbs
That glitter with frost-lace hoary,
While eastward now as the darkness dims
Is the sun in a sea of glory.

Experiments of an encouraging charac-
ter have been made in the manufacture
of spikes, with a view to making a I'm
isted article by rolling the bar so that its
width shall be the length OF the spike.
and in such shape that spikes may DE cut
from it with shears. similarly as a cut nail
is made, excepting that the head is
formed in the rolling process. In tests
made 10y running through some steel
nails that have been slowly heated for
two and ne-half hours the result showed
that with some changes IN the working
mechanism tine operation was entirely
practicable.
