Letters on the Subject from Resi-

To the Editor OF The Republican.
Having read with interest the
articles which have appeared in each
of the county papers upon the sch0O!
question. and being glad to see the
unanimity of feeling that we should
have better educational facilities.
though the writers differ as to the
means to be employed. l would
suggest that the County COmmIs
@iOners be legally empowered to levy
dog tax of not less than 50 per
head on each dug, and SIS on each
bitch, and that the proceeds of the
tax go to the School Fund.
By the recent census OF our county
the population is 14,2l3. A c0nser-
Vative estimate would be one dog
for every five persons, as in many
families two or even three would not
be the limit, we have then 1912 dogs
at u tax of 50 yielding $5,6Sl which
added to the regular County Levy
of 50 600. will very nearly give the
SIS 900 necessary to keep the schools
open for six months.
Again. as farmers, we would pro.
tect the sheep industry, which has
been entirely destroyed by dogs in
many of the counties of Maryland.
where one great evil is the hearding
ogsther of dogs in the small towns
and villages. There will never be a
better opportunity for the farmers of
Garrett to take their stand and see
that sheep are hero to stay.
Last, by imposing a tax we will
greatly improve the quality and
breed of our dogs. tor when the
owner is obliged to pay for dog, he
will naturally select one of intrinsic
value, aud the days Of the cur will
be numbered. The citizen will have
increased facilities for his children.
the farmers sheep will be protected,
and our dogs will be improved.
Let US all rally and have dog

TWO TALES FROM ONE PAPER.

There is not apt to be very much rail-
road building in Texas until capitalists find
out what Judge Reagan and his team are
going to do. The Judge has not contri-
buted anything to the congressional litera-
ture of the country to encourage enterpris-
ing cities to contribute bonuses and pay
taxes to secure competition, which his eff
forts as a statesman have tended to deprive
them Of Judge Reagan's past services, as
well as his sensitive expressions since he
became member of the state commission,
have not been calculated to boom railroad
building in Texas Dallas News.
If that is true, what reliance can
be placed in this piece of news printed
in the Dallas paper few days ago:
AUSTIN, TEX, June 2-The Houston and
Texas Central, running from near Waco up
to Albany, and line from Waxahachie up
under a new charter. The property was
sold under mandate of the Federal court at
Galveston when the Houston and Texas
Central was sold and the purchasers have
man now in Texas examining the property
and who will take charge of it. This is
Mr. C. Hamilton, formerly president of the
St. Louis and Cairo and lately superin-
tendent of the Mobile and Ohio. The pur-
chasers are preparing to extend the line
from Albany, having purchased material
for the purpose. They also propose TO build
into Waco and connect with the Arkansas
Pass and other lines centering at Waco;
also to extend their Waxahachie line across
to Waco and from the present eastern terIni-
nus toward Red river at or near Paris to
connection with some line giving friendly
outlet to the east, 1t is also contemplated
to reach out from near Waco toward Aus
tin. The extension from Albany will be to
a connection with the Fort Worth and Den
yer at a point on the main line or else to the
western terminus of the Wichita Valley
railway, being branch of the Fort Worth
and Denver, extending westerly from
Wichita Falls.
The Dallas News should get itself to-
gether. Personal antagonisms should
never be permitted to obstruct the

ABOUT FORT WORTH.

Last week was one full Of Importance to
Fort Worth in many ways. First it saw
the harvesting of the wheat crop in all the
rich country tributary TO this city well
under way, and gave an indication of the
amount of money that would be put into
circulation to move the crop. Between
Fort Worth and Quanah 1000 new binders
| i'll addition TO those already in use are now
at work harvesting the crop. In the past
few weeks over one hundred new thresherS
have been sold between Henrietta and
Quanah, and they will be at work in few
days. Yesterday thousands of dollars were
paid out to harvest hands, and there is an
army of them at work. BY June 20 the
harvesting will all be done, portion of the
crop will be threshed and some of it mar
keted. Mr.. c. II. Silliman, who returned
yesterday from a trip through the wheat
belt, says the bankers between Henrietta
and Quanah say at least six million bushels
of wheat Will be marketed in the counties
of Clay. Wichita, Wilbarger and Harde-
man. The yield will be from twenty to
thirty bushels to the acre. II is expected that
81 per bushel will be realized, and certainly
not less than So cents per bushel Between
Fort Worth and Henrietta, counting out the
timbered country, something like i,5O0,0O
bushels of wheat will be harvested. In the
timbered section the peach and plum crop,
the berries, etc, have yielded most album
dainty. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will be received for these products. Corn
is doing well. Oats will yield from seventy
five to 100 bushels TO the acre. Cotton is
luxuriant and cattle are fattening. This
applies to the country between this city
and Quanah, 1872 miles away on the Fort
Worth and Denver, The reports from the
counties on the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, southwest, are equally good. The
Brownwood country will market a large
wheat crop. These are the golden days of
Texas and Fort Worth. All these facts
have been made known in the East to the
banks and also are known across the water
in England. The manager of the largest
loan company in Texas doing business and
with headquarters at Fort Worth said yes
terday the company would put out 100000
a month for year on Fort Worth and farm
property, half and half. As far as Fort
Worth was concerned, he said, the city
never had such basis before on which to
loan; the packery, the brewery and the
cotton mill gave her solidity wanting
heretofore. As he said this he opened a
drawer in his desk and took out cable
gram ordering the purchase Of 4 block Of
packing company stock. The English peo-
pie know Texas and Fort Worth and never
had such confidence in them before.

North Side Park,

The Fort Worth City company has had a
force of men and teams at work on piece
of wooded land about one and one-quarter
miles north of the courthouse, converting
it into park The twenty acres in the
park has been enclosed by a high picket
fence. In the center Of the park is d lake
covering three acres, which will be one Of
the most beautiful sheets of water in Tar
rant county. On the margin of the lake
where an artesian well empties its clear
water into the lake beautiful pagoda will
be built and number of boats will be put
ON the lake. The timber is beautiful many
of the trees being large and the foliage
dense. Arrangements have been made TO
make the park commissioner. who viii al
ways be on the ground, deputy sheriff,
The men at work in the park are now con-
structing drive way all around the lake.
Over the stream running into the lake and
over the waste-way rustic bridges will be
erected. Mr.. Sutherland said yesterday that
the park wouldbe thrown open to the public
on July for the first time. The work on this
improvement has given employment TO a
number of men. The park has not been
named vet
