The steady FuIi LIS Best.

If you toot your little tooter and
then lay aside your horn, there's
not soul in ten days will know
that you were born. The man who
gathers pumpkins is the man who
plows all day, and the man who
keeps a pumping is the gent who
makes it pay. The man who ad-
vertises with a short and sudden
Jerk, is the man who blames the
printer because it didn't work. The
gent who gets the business has a
long and steady pull and keeps the
local papers for years and years
quite full. He plans his advertise
ments in a thoughtful honest way,
and keeps forever at it until he
makes it pay. He has faith in all
the future, and can withstand a
sudden shock, and like the man of
scripture has his business on rock.

GOVERNOR Sadler and Controller

GOVERNOR Sadler and Controller
Davis were in Dayton last Saturday
to meet with the Board of Equaliza-
ton of this county last Saturday.
They have met with several county
Boards this year, and it is stated
that by their advice and arguments
the valuation of the property in the
State has been raised nearly 81 ,OOO,-
900. If this is the case the $4,000
appropriated by the last Legislature
for their use has been well expend-
edit it has all been used. The
effect of their suggestions in this
county are not noticeable, but may
bear fruit in the future. Many
years ago the TIMES advocated the
doubling of the valuation of proper
ty in the State and the halviDg of
the rate of taxation. But little at
tention was paid to the matter then.
Now, however, the entire press of
the State is advocating the same
measure, and it will eventually he
brought about. To do this, how
ever, State Board of Equalization
will have to be created, which shall
have the same power of lowering or
raising the rate as a County Board
now has in the respective counties.
The Legislature should also make a
law whereby all live stock should
be assessed at stated figure in the
different counties. Another good
law, we believe, would be the in
crease of the County Boards of
Equalization to larger number
have it composed of citizens of the
county, and drawn in a similar man
ner to the drawing of a grand jury.
There are many things to be thought
of in this contemplated change in
the mode of taxation, and We are
sure that good results will come
from the agitation inaugurated by
the Governor and Controller.

Working Piutes.

A new scheme in labor circles has
evolved itself in this section. Piutes
have for years past gone to Califor-
MIA to pick hops during the season,
and for years past they have been
employed by Italian ranchers on
the Carson river to sprout potatoes
in the Spring. This season, how
ever, the ranchers are employing
the Piutes, bucks and squaws, both
young and old, to dig, sort and sack

"IT IS not necessary for woman
during her courtship," said judge
in a recent case, "to tell her intend
ed husband of any device or attach
ment to improve the work of ma
ture in the construction of her face,

The Judge is correct. If man
can't find out whether his girl has
glass eyes, false teeth, wooden
leg, padded calves and other places,
knock-knees or bow legs before he
marries her, he ought to be tied to
a dry goods house dummy for the
balance of his natural life.

THE Columbia and the Shamrocl

THE Columbia and the Shamrock
have started twice now to sail for
the championship cup, and both
times have failed to get back to the
starting point within the time limit
of five hours and fifteen minutes.
This state of affairs was caused by
there being no wind. The Sham.
rood has shown herself to be the
best drifter, but the betting odds
are still 10 to 8 in favor of the
Columbia. Another heat will be
run to-day.

Work of Local Recruiting Station
pCOEressInE Satisfactorily.

Four additional recruits for the Thirty :
third infantry, now being modified at
San Antonio, were enlisted at the local
recruiting station yesterday. thus making
a total of seventy-five secured here since
the office was opened by Lieutenant Colo
mel Brereton and Lieutenant Coffey two
weeks ago. Considering the slowxrogress
tions of the State the results achieved
here are considered unusually good. All
of the men enlisted SO far have averaged
higher than usual, both as to their physi-
cal and mental attributes.
1t is not known here how much longer
the local office will be kept in operation.
1t Is understood that the First battalion
of the regiment will soon be sent to San
Francisco and there prepared for an early
departure for the Philippines. If such Is the
case 1t is possible that the recruiting detail
here will be recalled in time to be as
signed to the battalion and accompany
1t when 1t leaves San Antonio.
The enlistments of the past two days
have been as follows:

Commi..ion Criticised.

Much dissatisfaction Is expressed by
some of the State commissioners with the
course lately pursued by the interstate
commerce commission toward tie rail-
roads. One of them said.
"Some members of the interstate COM
merce commission seem to be IN favor of
almost everything the law prohibits. They
are in favor of legalizsd pooling, and APP
parently the Dthly meetings of the in
terstate commerce comm ssioners with the
railroad managers are nothing more nor
less than agreements 10 make and maintain
unreasonable and unfair rates. practically
throttlng legitimate competition. Some
roads are paying no wore attention 10
their pledges made at these meetings with
the interstate commerce commission than
they did to their Did ironclad and gentle
mems agreements. If the results ained
at by congress when 1t enacted the INFER
state commerce law have not been attained
it is due to the disposition Of the COM
missioners to make friends with railroad
officials, rather than punish them ior
wrong doing"

New 1nterloclsine Switch.

Something entirely new In the way of a
railway crossing and interlockng switch
combined is being built. Practical railroad
men who have examined the m 1del say that
some very perplexing problems relative to
railroad crossings appear {, be solved by
this contrvance. BY the use of this ar
rangcment four railroads can cross at one
point and at any angle with a continuous
rail. The continuous rail gives smoorucr
crossing and grea-e ar durability. Heavy
trains running over the ordinary c, oseing

plant locks automatically and 8 unlocked

automatically, derailers are thrown on all
of the other tracks, 90 That collision at

Beaumont, Texas, August 1o.--A GENTLE
man has Informed The Post correspondent
that construction OF the connection be-
tween the Sabine and East Texas and
Texas Trunk railroads had begun. A
grading crew, he says, began work from
Cedar south several days ago, and that the
surveying corps had located the line OF

the Intention to build the entire road by
contract and sections OF ten miles each are
TO be let as fast as the route is locAsd
The gentleman says this information was
conveyed in a letter which he had recently
received from business man at Cedar.
The letter also stated that the general
impression there was that the road was
to be completed within year. The bill
authorizing consolidation of the Sabine
and East Texas and Texas Trunk with the
Texas and New Orleans only requires that
nifty miles of road be constructed the first
year but there is every indication that
Beaumonters can take through train to
Dallas before the end OF 1900.
