Demand for Lumber Increasing.

But this great forest has only been pene-
trated by railways within the last ten years,
and the rapidly increasing populations to
the West. with the large number OF rail
ways built within that territory, have in,
creased the demand enormously. 1t should
be borne in mind that the United States
consume annually thirty billion feet of lum-
Der, while the annual growth is perhaps not
10 per cent of this amount. If the entire
supply of the United States should be cut
from the forests OF Louisiana and Texas
they would be consumed in about four
years. But the area to be actually supplied
is equal to that Of twelve states like New
York. It's within the bounds of reason TO
say that this great forest is the only source
from which lumber can be supplied 10 L
very large part of the United States at a
reasonable price.
We have over 1000 square miles of iron
ore land that will yield from 50 to Cd per
cent of pure metallic iron. In eastern
Texas" lies the greatest area of iron ore. In
the Llano district q marvellous product is
obtained, as good as the Swedish iron, out
of which ''Bessemer steer' can be made
and it's the only spot in the union save one
district, believe, on Lake Superior, where
such ores are found at all.
Already we have furnaces at Jefferson,
Rusk and New Birmingham, yielding 300
tons of pig iron daily. And this is but the
Dabyhood SO to speak of what IS to rival
Pittsburg and the older iron districts Of
the Union.
The pig iron is now shipped all the way
from Texas and sold at St. Louis at from
S14 to SIC per ton. There special car wheel
pig iron sells for S22 per ton. Deducting
the cost of employees. cost Of transportation
to market, and cost of plant, there is real
lied 81 per cent interest OIL the capital in
vested annually.
In the most of the great pine regions
charcoal is chiefly obtained, aud within
few years time bituminous coal from the
Indian Territory can be secured for less
than 81 per ton. 1t is estimated then that
pig iron can be made profitably at 81 per
ton, which will dare competition from the
old world to the new 1t has not been year
since l saw trainloads of pig iron shipped
by river and rail from Birmingham,
Ala, to Pittsburg, Pa, and sold at 4 profit.
In former days and in our own time this
would have been fifty termed carrying
Goals to NEWCASTLE
With deep water on the gulf coast and
the opening of Nicaraguan transit the
iron products of our Texas rolling mills
will find market among the six hundred
millions of the Orient, who now buy all
their iron from Europe, save few locomo-

HOW TO DO IT.
A Citizen of Terrell Offers Suggestions
About the Alien Land Law-The
French system.
TERRELL, TEX. Sept. s, 1891.


Editor Gazette.
To the esteemed GAZETTE: How do you
expect to amend the alien land law in such
manner as to permit the lending of money
on land and yet prevent the requirement OF
landl Your proposition is puerile.-L Child
ress Star.
Let me answer for you.
Permit cheap money to come to Texas
from anywhere in the world, reduce the
rate of interest to less than 6 per cent, and
agriculture can live and prosper. Let Eng
fish, French, German and Now England
money come to Texas ON the same footing,
secure the same by mortgage on our fine
lands, if you please; let foreign capital
stand on same basis as home capital. Then
let the legislature pass the French law in
order to forever kill the idea of landed
aristocracy, foreign or domestic No man
in all France fears landed aristocracy-
the law of descent and distribution forbids
il. At the death of each land owner in
Texas let his lands be partitioned TO all his
heirs, if his heirs do not reduce the several
tracts in Texas to $40 acres or less; let the
same be divided into small tracts, say 100
acres; let the money go to its righ1ful
owner, and the land be bought by aI citi-
zcns wishing homes. j. K. BuIPAss.

Education and Free Schools.

1t has always been the policy of Texas to
encourage liberal system of education
Early in the history of the republic in 1886.
there was ample provision made for COM
mon schools and for one great state univer-
sity OF our public domain. There has been
surveyed and set apart more than a GUAR
ter of a century ago for state university,
22l 400 acres for each county in state H.
1l2 acres; thus giving TO the counties for
free schools over 10000. 900 acres. The
older counties located their lands years ago
and they are now in the settled sections of
the state and worth from SO to S25 an
acre. AT present rates the university lands
at the same figures are werth the princely
sum of 81 900. 900. Our school lands to-day
in value amount to 100000 600 In a. d.
1000 it will equal Sl0O, 000, 600 We have TO-
day state university and agricultural and
normal colleges equal to any in the union.
In a few more years this splendid endow-
ment made by the early patriots of Texas
will be fabulous in value. In addition
to this, each alternate section
granted to railroads is reserved for the
school fund, and by tho present constitu-
ton, one-half of all the public lands and
and one-fourth of all the general revenues
are solemnly set apart for perpetual fund
for the common free schools for the chill
dren of Texas. The number of acres of
our public school lands will now approx
mate &c, 00O, 600 acreS-worth over $50, 0U0,-
600. By the late constitutional convention
of Texas there has in addition been granted
to the university 1000, 600 more of acres OF
the public lands. This university we in
tend shall stand by the Harvards and the
Yales of the new and the Cam bridges and
Oxfords of the old world.
Under wise legislation our unrivaled
school fund will furnish a basis for the free
education of every child in Texas. She dis
penses this bounty in no spirit Of CASTE
party or section. All races may bring their
children to drink at this fountain. The
legislature of my state, in addition to our
public free schools established by law d
college for the colored youth of the state
and appropriated thousands of dollars for
its perpetual endowment.

Homesteads Exempt from sale.

The constitution now in force exenpts
from forced sale i homestead in the country
of 200 acres, with all its improvements, and
q homestead in cities and towns not exceed
ing in value $1,000. at times so designated.
There is also clause eXempting current
wages from garniShment-aSsimil in
this respect wages to property. Thus the
wages OF the landleSS labOrer, living by the
sweat of his brow and the homestead of
the family, around which widowhood and
orphanage cling in misfortune, are forever
exempt from debt by the humane declara
ton of organic law.
IL may be asked if all the advantages that
Texas offers in cheap lands, variety Of pro-
duct, health, comfort, and law-abid.ng peo-
pie, are not counterbalanced by heavy
taxes. The bonded debt of Texas is a, 00O,-
900 in round numbers. The taxable prop
erty Of the state in September, 1915, was
s215, 900, 900. To-day it is officially estimated
at $500, 600 900. A direct tax of less than |
per cent, if levied and collected on this
property, would extinguish at once the en-
tire debt of the state. Her credit. once
tottering, now stands erect, the peer of any
other state. The accruing interest on her
debt is paid promptly at her treasury, and
her bonds sought eagerly at home and
abroad. With the increase of our taxable
values, the fabulous growth of our popula-
ton, with rigid assessment and collection
of the taxes, forcing the necessary expendi-
lures of the government and the revenues
TO cancel each other, guarding against all
deficits, Texas may discharge any day
every dollar that she owes.
Our constitution provides that "the state
tax on property, exclusive of the tax neces-
sary to pay the public debt, shall never ex-
coed 30 cents on 500 valuation, and that no
city, county or town shall levy more than
one-half of said state tax" Thus for the
future the state and county tax shall never
exceed 20 cents on the 500. This wise pro-
vision Restraints the state and county from
imposing upon themselves and their pos
terity great public debts, crushing and to
crush the industries and prosperity OF gen.
erations to follow after Us.

Concerning Internal improvements

Prior to the advent of the Anglo-Ameri-
can settlers in Texas the pack-mule fur
nished the only means of transportation.
With their coming, hoof and wheel were
introduced, supplanted in turn by the iron
horse. In 1858 the first mile of railway was
constructed in the state. Under pressure
alone of increased production nearly 5000
miles have been built and are now in active
operation. Texas, l believe, to-day is the
only state in the Union where the construc-
ton of railways has not been discontinued
In the extension of main trunk lines and in
dependent roads her activity keeps pace
with her march OF progress in every de-
partment of human industry. In the en-
couragement of works Of internal improve
ment, in removing Instructions from her
navigable rivers. in the irrigation of her
western plains, and especially in the con-
struction of railways. Texas has extended
the most magnificent bounties. Though
among the youngest of these states, she has
outstripped them all in the princely gifts
she has offered her own and citizens of
other lands to build these great public links.

Not q Land of Drought.

Having referred to productiveness Of soil
and sslubrity of climate, it may not be with
out interest to allude to the rainfall, with
out which the sterility of Sahara would
girdle the earth with its burning belt of
sand. A comparison of the rainfall of Texas
with states famed for quantity and cer-
tainty of yield will show how iu-founded
was the once prevalent idea that Texas was
a land OF drought. Assuming Illinois and
Missouri to be the mean center, geograph-
ically and agriculturally, of the productive
regions of the United States, 1 would give
the following result of rainfall in inches
from September, 1881, to September, 1891
