AUSTIN. Ten, June Talk about a spe-

quite general here. and every man OF any
note from the country Is asked for the
opinions of those in his county respecting
the need for one. There can be no doubt
that people are beginning TO think and talk
Il good deal about it, and 10 feel that there
are good reasons why one should be called
tins TALL or winter. One of the cOmmOneSt
inquiries heard OF late IS: We'll. are we
going 10 have special session Of the leg
lslature!" or What are the prospects for
special session" The frequency with
which one hears such heterogeneous tired

the importance of the matter Of reappor-
tlOnlng the state into legislative and SEN
atorial districts. The manifest dispropOr-
Lion Ill the sizes Of several legislative dis
trlcts is so glarlng as 10 compel attention,
and TO emphasize the pressing need
for new deal Ii is said
that the district represented by Represent

utled by right TO SIX additional representa-

The water works bond sale, which
was to have occurred yesterday at ~
o'clock, did not materialize, there being
no bidders. The only reason to be as

why they should not sell at premium,
