Mr.. Tsyioris especially we'll qualified 70 an

has been arected by the storm.
IT think" he said. that the crop damage
consequent upon the Storm hos been probably

prospect for Texas yield that many thought
The season was late. We have got TO have oer-
tain conditions on the ist OF June To MAKE

ONE SAVED IN
Any one who has been In Galveston VIII re-
member that opposite the business front where
the wharvss and warehouses and depots are
can be seen Bolivar Point.
Between the east end OF Galveston Island,
which is the business end. and Bolivar is the
passage from the Gulf into the great almost
landlocked, but for the most part swallow.
Galveston Bay. 1t is, perhaps. a mile and a hall
or two miles across from the Galveston wharves
TO Bolivar Point. There Ia a town OF Bolivar.
a collection of houses which can be seen from
Galveston. but the most conspicuous object
on the point ia the lighthouse which serves
TO show the way TO Galveston. The lighthouse
has a memorable place In the scenes or the
awful Saturday night.
When the waters beg an TO creep M the streets
OF Galveston, from the bay side first and then
from the Gulf side, the Bolivar people were
growing nervous. The water came in upon
them until some of the older folk began TO
doubt the safety OF their homes. Soon men.
women and children forsook the houses and
made their WAY across the highest ground
