THE R Es0LUTI0N
PASSED BY THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE AND SENT TO AUS
TIN AND ELSEWHERE.
Referring to the Necessity for Thor
ough Mineral Survey of the State,
and, for a Revision of the Antitrust
Laws.

| The following is copy Of resolutions
adopted at the last meeting of the
board of directors of the chamber of
commerce. copies of which have been
mailed to Senator Turney. Representa-
tives Bridgers and Van Sickle. Cover
nor Sayers. President Prather and DR..
Phillips of the State university. and
the commercial organizations in eight
of the largest cities of the state:
Resolved. That it is highly impor-
tant to the development of the mineral
resources of the state that the bill now
pending before the state Legislature.
providing for the appropriation OF S1O.-
00o per wear for two years for estab-
fishing a mineral and geological survey
of the state, to be carried on by the
University of Texas. should be enacted
into law for the following reasons:
First. the prosecution of such sur
vey and the collection and publication
of information concerning the location
and character of the mineral deposits
of the state and the current production
of minerals from year to year. would
hasten the development of the vast
mineral resources as vet unprodctive.
Second. the exploiting of our mineral
deposits would develop the tax-paying
powere of these vast resources that
now lie dormant and unprOductive
contributing nothing whatever TO the
revenues of the state Every dollar of
tax levied upon the mining enterprises
thus set in motion would tighten by
that much the burden of taxation that
now rests so heavily upon the farm.
the factory. and the commercial and
business interests of the state.
Third every mining camp thus
brought into existence within the state
would extend that best of all markets.
the home market. for the products of
the farm. tn eorchard. the truck gar
den. the rice and sugar plantation. the
cotton plantation, the stock ranch, the
sheep ranch. the mill. the factory. and
indeed every Texas industry. All this
means. increased demand. increased
business. and increased profits for ev-
cry industry within the borders of the
state. The proposed appropriation for
a mineral survey is therefore to be re-
garded as a small investment with
practically a certain guarantee of quick
and large returns.

Unless cyclist is a "scorcher'' there is no need, generally speaking, to make any effort to avoid him. He will look out for the collisions, says the Youths Com panion.
 A lady was crossing the street when she saw bicycle rider coming toward her She stopped, then dodge backward, and as he swerved in order to pass her there was a collision and both took a fall, but neither was much damaged.
 If you hadn't wabbled, sr," she said angrily, as he assisted her to rise, this wouldn't have happened!"
 Neither would 1t have happened, mad am," he replied, "if you hadn't wabbled, or if you had wabbled in a contrary di- rection from my wabble. It was our con current and synchronous wabbling, so to speak. that caused it.

 That man Fisher with the auburn hair kept the "boiler makers guessing yes- terday, and when the Shreveporters be- gan hitting Brandt 1t was all off and there were many sad and silent souls at West End.
 The Louisiana boys, smarting under two consecutive defeats, gritted their teeth and went in to win, and before the crowd left the park they had piled up eight runs and well earned victory. They played good ball from the start and used the stick at the proper time. The red-headed boy in the box was the man behind the gun, however, and after his long rest he had speed to burn and didn't fail to burn 1t. Boles boys sim ply could not solve his benders, and the tale is told.
 The crowd from Louisiana were not the only ball players in the park yesterday by several yards The men under the management of Captain Moss got into the game from the start and put up one of the prettiest exhibitions of good ball playing ever seen In Birmingham. Moss covered himself with glory and by the exhibition of two fast double plays, one unassisted, he was forced to take off his hat to the grandstand. Brandt got in his work with the stick and was respon- sible for all three of the runs.
 The game began with Birmingham up, but they failed to do anything with Fisher, and the side was retired without a run Shreveport immediately took hold of the stick with both hands and Tim O'Rourke led off with single after Mont gomery had been thrown out at first. Sample put the bah 'n left field and ad- vanced ORourke to third. Hulsman then hit to the infieid, and on felder's choice went to first, O'Rourke in the meantime scoring. weikart hit to third base and Sample scored on the throw to first. Bir- mingham again failed to do anything in her next time up, and Shreve- port determined to have the game, rubbed it in by pounding Brandt for four successive hits. Fisher flew out to short. Mulkey lined the ball out to left field for a single, and the fire works began. montgomery uroNe tnS shpere into deep left for two bases and Mulkey went to third. Tim ORourke seeing an opportunity to win laced out one to right field. scoring both O'Rourke and Mulkey. Hulsman, determined to get in the fun, put one in center for one bag and sent O'Rourke across the plate. The side was then retired and the Birmingham fans were given a sensation After Moss and Martin had gone out, Culver got present and McDevitt drove one into right. for two bases, landing Culver at third. Brandt came up with an eye like an eagle and scored both runners by a nice liner over second base The rooters saw some thing was doing and began work. but pull as they could the game could not be had. Just as hope had begun to kindle in the ninth Shreveport made two more and 1t was all over. The lead was too strong and Fisher hadn't let up for a minute.
 Two of the prettiest double plays ever seen at West End were executed by Moss, Veitch and LaRocque yesterday and one by Moss unassisteo. On one of them Moss made hard run after what seemed a hit directly over second sack. With one hand he scooped the ball up and quickly touching second threw the batter out at first. retiring the side
