When the laborers on Hutchinsons Isl
and knock off work evenings the river is
filed with small row boats bringing the
men TO the city side. In their eagerness
to get across apparently little attention
is given TO vessels moving about in the
harbor. which are expected not to run
into the smaller boats. Sn some cases
the laborers cross the bows of the largest
steamships, as was the case with the
steamship La Grande Duchesse, bound in
the other day. Capt. Hanlon found il
necessary to sound a signal to clear the
channel of small boats.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Several Important Mntters They MIL
Act Upon Soon.


Act Upon Soon.
The Chicago Tlmes-Herald in its issue Of
Monday last says:
Two weeks from today railroad commits
sioners from nearly every State in the
Union viii assemble in Milwaukee TO at
tend the twelfth annual National conyen-
tion which will begin at the Phstsr house
in that city. Great interest always CEN
ters in the conventions OF the commission
ers and action is frequently taken which
is OF vital interest to railroads and their
management.
All State officers charged with any duty
in the supervision Of railroads have been
requested TO attend and take part In the
discussions OF topics which may come be-
fore the convention. The Association Of
American Railway Accounting Officers has
also received an invitation to send dele
gates, who will be given a voice In the
discussion of subjects Of interest to the
association. At the last convention. held
in Denver in August, 1899, ten committees
were appointed TO prepare reports on the
following subjects:
l. classification of construction ex-
pensesa
2. Classification of operating and cons
struction expenses Of electric railways
8. Railroad statistics.
4. Uniform classification,
.. Powers, duties and work of railroad
commissioners.
6. Legislation.
I. Delays attendant upon enforcing or
ders of railroad commissioners
S. Safety appliances.
Q. Grade crossings
10. Plans for ascertaining the fair yalua-
ton Of railroad properties.
The last subject is one OF the most i'm
portant considered in years and Il is OK
pected that the commissioners will adopt
some resolution which will emhody needed
legislation along this line, The methods
OF taxing railroads are so varied that in
some States the corporations escape with
/ little burden while in others they are
practically made to bear more than their
just proportion OF the expenses of the
State administration. II is understood.
also. that the committee appointed on leg
/ slation has some radical measures to
propose. Those who desire 10 transmit
topics for discussion may send matter to
any of the following members Of The COM

INTERPRETATION CARS.
Pacific Express Company Interested
In the Fruit Industry,

Pacific Express Company Interested
In the Fruit Industry.
In the development of the fruit indus
try in Texas, the Pacific Express com
panS. has taken considerable interest, II
has encouraged the raising of early fruits
and vegetables on an extensive scale, SO
that solid cars could be made UP and
the freight rate TO the shippers reduced.
The equipment necessary for the handling
OF perishable goods is costly and extra
care is also necessary. 1t has not boon
such great while back when such a
thing as a carload could not have been
concentrated at any one point in Texas.
This year, however, In spite OF an unfs-
vorable season, several solid carload ship
ments have been forwarded to northern
markets, to say nothing of the small
consignments. On this subject Mr.. Geo,
Riley OF the Pacific Express company
said.
Our refrigerators are the latest aud
most approved pattern of refrigerators as
10 refrigeration One OF the cars, iced
in Houston and loaded at League city,
went to St. Louis aud returned empty TO
Tyler and still had tae ice in the bunners,
none having been put in after being
shipped, The cars are equipped WITH FIRST
class passenger equipment for the last
est trains ana are complete in every
detall except plulsCn gas luey dIc
painted the standard coach oolors on the
exterior and are ornamental as well as
servlceable.
League city loaded eight of them, and
they have demonstrated beyond doubt
that 1t Is the only way TO handle straw
berries. AL the cars arrived with their
contents in the very finest OF condition,
and the Growers association at League
City are loud In their praise and can not
say enough IN their favor. The season
being an unusually wet one, the berries
were necessarily soft, and but for the
Introduction by us of these cars the ship
I pers would have lost much of their crop,
as the berries would not have stood the
shipping any other way.
I'VE are now loading In the Tyler
district which is made up OF Tyler,
{ Lindale and Swan. and we have so far
shipped seven aars. four OF which went
/ TO Denver one to Des Moines, the others
/ to ST. Louis. Tho people in tho district
named are carried away with the cars,
and the industry has received stimulus,
as no longer is 1t question how the
crop can be successfully placed on dis
/ tant markets.
1.-THE probability is, We viii have three
times the number of cars next season,
| becar-<, If the season is favorable, they
will ba needed"
