The report that !. J. Kelley. late

Tent before the senate committee on
education ana made Them an address
'n the Importance OF establishing n
state board OF agriculture. Senator
Bowser and Lieutenant Governor Jes-
Ter made telling speeches In Its behalf.
and l think there Is little doubt that IL
Will be established. IL viii be great
thing for Texas agriculture, and this
legislature VIII play a great game with
the farmers hereafter. 1 knew the Ga
zette was very popular at Austin, but
] confess l was surprised to find the
other Texas dallies almost entirely
barred. Fitzgerald and Leveque have
this legislature grabbed, and are the
peited aud pampcred favorites of
eveTy official at the capitol. sixty
members OF the legislature told me
Ilt2gerald was the best correspondent
who ever represented paper at Aus
tin. When the Gazette reaches the city
there II u rush for copies by every
member. They want to find out what
they did the day before and how IL
VIII appear TO the people uf the state.
lsven among those members whom,
Fitzgerald has 'ronsted he Is very
popular. He Is the prince OF Austin
newspaper men and Is a great addition
10 the stan OF any newspaper"
