SCRlPTlONS.
Organization by Counties Has Been
Started and win Receive Close At
tention in a Short Time.

DallaS, IeNas, May oO.-1he Texas
Worlds Fair commission has thus far do.
voted itself principally to an effort to close
up the subscriptions Of three special In.
terests, the railroads, the banks and the
lumbermen. AS soon as these organizations
have definitely settled upon their contrlbu-
tions the work of completing county or.
ganizations and raising the remainder OF
the fund will be undertaken.
The suggestion originally made by the
officials of some Of the railroads who held
a meeting here some time ago was that
the several companies assess themselves
s. for each mile of railroad operated by
them in Texas as their contribution to the
Worlds Fair fund. Four lines have def
nitely agreed to subscribe on this basis,
making a total Of $4,000. Most OF the
lines have agreed to contribute literally"
or on the basis generally agreed TO-"
which assures Il general participation by
the railroads in the enterprise without u
uennlte agreement as to the amount The
work OF reducing these tentative agree
ments TO actual subscriptions Is now IN
progress, and 1t is hoped the matter will
De closed up within the next ten days
