Texas.


In the agricultural line Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn and the cereals
grow and are raised in every section of
the state and in the central and south
ern portions sugar cane and sorghum
cane are profitably cultivated. On the
Gulf Coast two or three crops OF veg
etables are raised each year. Berries
are shipped six weeks in advance of
the home crop in the north. Pears,
peaches, piums, oranges, figs, olives
and nuts all grow abundantly and can
be marketed from two to three weeks
in advance of the California crops.
Large quantities of rice are now grown.
If the land seeker, the home seeker,
and the settler desires 10 secure farm
larger than the one he occupies, on
vastly more reasonable terms; II he
wants more land to cultivate, greater
variety of crops to harves', with pro-
portionately increased remuneration,
at less outlay for cost of production;
If he wants an earlier season, with cor
respondingly higher prices; If he wants
milder winters, all the year pasturage
for his stock, improved health, in
creased bodily comforts, and wealth
and prosperity he should go TO Texas.

Powers Planning to Remove Him and
Re-organixe the Turks Government.
The London Daily News states that
II learns that the powers are consider
ing a scheme for financial control and
the placing Of the administration of
Turkey in the hands of responsible
European minister, Edgar Vincent. at
present director of the Ottoman bank,
becoming the minister of finance, q
Russian officer the minister of war and
q Frenchman minister of the interior,
the grand vizier remaining president
of the council of state, subject to the
powers approval.
The scheme is to provide for first
raising loan of 5000, 900 to be ap-
piled to the administration and the re-
duction of the army, each villayet to
have a European Encouragement re-
sponsible to the minister, who is to
collect taxes, pay salaries, etc, the re-
vision of the civil and military service,
the dismissal of incompetent and ill
reputed officers, the reorganization of
the gendarmerie under Turkish and
European officers and equal rights to
all religious communities. This does
not necessarily preclude the overthrow
of the Ottoman dominion, but probably
does mean the removal of the present
sultan.

Terrible Floods In Washington.

Tremendous floods have devasted a
large portion of Skagit county, Wash
ington. Probably the town to suffer
most was Hamilton, which is a COM
plete wreck. The big brick store
building of Barker & Fontaine is a
heap of ruins and the goods are buried
under sthe fall of the walls. Every
thing is in horrible shape. The
streets are washed out, sidewalks gone
and the town is filed with trees,
stumps and rubbish. Two lives were
lost. The water was in every house in
the lower part of the town. Railroad
property suffered very heavily.

by circular that at a meeting Held In Den
yer few days before the company had been
reorganized under the name Of the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad Tunnel and Mining
company, with a capitalization of $1,000 000.
The eastern bondholders at the meeting
last Thursday night at the Normandie de-
clared there was no necessity for losing tho
tunnel for a paltry SIS. that the taxes be-
ing charged to the tunnel compunyl and paid
with the exception of the cases named above,
was a peculiar proceeding and that there
was no necessity for Messrs Whitaker and
George making fuss about buying tun-
mel that they already owned through their
recent purchase at the tax sale.''
Work was stopped on this gigantic under
taking some years ago. One million dollars
had been sunk in boring a mile and half
with FIVE miles necessary to cut a tunnel
through a part of the Rocky mountains.
Pomeroy made his scheme a family affair
and would not allow gamblers and iobbers to
get in.
He deemed it good plum for the thrifty
middle class investor and his posterity.
Soon he had a long list of small inyes ;ors

placed at 81 900 600 and 81 100000 was sub

TO SPAN THE GORGE.
Another Massive bridge Over the
Ennminir Ninpnru.


Fonming niagara.
Another great bridge of the cantileyeI
variety will span the foaming gorge of The
Niagara river below the falls, says the
Buffalo Express 1t will replace the old
railway suspension bridge, the second bridge
ever thrown across that famous chasm-thc
ruined suspension bridge at Lewiston being
the irst-and there will be no interruption
The present bridge is said to have been the
first engineering feat of the kind in America
and was built to facilitate travel and the
quqick transportation Of freight between the
east and the developing west. 1t was in
April 1916, that the Railway Suspension
Bridge company received its American
charter, and June of the same year when
the Canadian charter was granted.
Seven years were consumed in the con.
struction of the bridge, the first train pass,
Ing over the structure on March S, 1855
The original bridge had wooden trusses sus,
pended on stone towers In 1880 the sus.
pended structure was changed to steel, and
in 1886 the stone towers were replaced by
towers of steel, both changes being n Ide
without any cessation of train traffic. The
present bridge has a span OF S2l feet from
center to center of the towers and is sus,
pended on four wire cables 1917 inches In
diameter, which carry a s.ngle-track rail
way above and a commodious carriageway
on the lower deck. The engineer who de.
signed and superintended the changes In
the present bridge was l.. l., Buck of New
