ond annual gathering OF this association.
and. will be held May is and 10. secre-
tary Crenshaw vns asked as to what the
prospects we're for the coming meeting,
and said that he anticipated one OF tho
largest turn-outs yet he'd. There will
be many matters of much Importance 10
the grain dealers of Texas discussed at
this meeting, and definite action will be
taken on one feature in partlcnlar-that
OF freight discriminations---wh has long
been complained of by the members OF this
association. Besides this question, other
matters relative to the grain interests
Of Texas will also be considered.
The Texas Grain Dealers association now
has membership oil over i50 scattered
over different parts Of the State. There
will be visiting grain men present from
the associations OF Kansas, Oklahoma and
the secretary OF the National Grain Deal
ers' association has advised that the asso.
Secretary Crenshaw said that an effort
would be made at the coming meeting
to ascertain II possible why the arbitrary
applying from Memphis to Meridian, Miss,
is 10 cents on Kansas oats, and JIG cents
on Texas oats. Other important features
OF the freight charge situation will be
considered, and the alleged prevailing
freight determinations against Texas
grain shippers will be thoroughly dis
cussed by the members OF the agsocia-
ton, with view 10 arriving at a solution
OF the pending difficulties which the gram
men aver is practically ruinous to the
grain shippers and exporting business in

rotary Crenshaw said that mistakes had
been made both by the railroad commits
sion and the grain dealers association in
the last adjustment of the matter aud
that this conference was for the purpose
of rectifying the errors that are known to
exist.
At the coming meeting there will be a
general election OF officers. but 1t Is not
likely there VIII be any change made in
the present officials. Mr.. Harrison OF
Sherman has made an acceptable president
and 1t Ia learned there will be no objec-
ton to his recollection, and that Mr. Cren-
shaw has proved himself to be wheel

chappeil Hill, Texas, April 14.-It was
generally hoped that the rise in the Brazos

have been disappointed. for a great over

as the one which occurred In June last.

to result In a good yield.
The river steadily rose until D. m.

Central track on tho other side OF tho
bridge spanning the Brazos is covered
with water for half mile or more and
though all trains, except night, have run
regularly, they have much difficulty In
getting over this part OF the track
1t is thought now that the river will
begin to fall rapidly and in the course OF a
week or more the overlooked farms can be
again put in condition for replanting.

Falls of Its Weight.
Austin, Texas, April 14-The breaking
of the dam at this point last week fur
nished the groundwork for all sorts of
Wild and highly colored reports which the
Northern papers have been displaying and
working over for five or six days. This
was to be expected, and due allowance has
been made therefor, The authors thereof,
carried away by excitement, allowed their
imaginations to gee the best OF them to
some extent. but went no farther than Is
usually the case with them under similar
circumstances, 1t remained for a Boston
romancer to cap tho climax in the matter
however. Judging from a New York dis
patch reproduced in a Galveston paper
yesterday, it seems that certain eminent
Beaneaters has conceived the idea that the
dam was blown UP by an agent of an in
terested corporation. This story. which IL
being displayed in bold faced type by GER
tain Texas publishers. IS so preposterons
that it must fall OF it's own weight. aud Is
not worthy OF space in any paper which
lays the least claim 10 accuracy or has
the slightest regard for the character OF
matter permitted to appear in its columns.
