A Timely Suggestion.

1t has been suggested TO The
Press that n Commercial or Bust
ness Mems club he organized inn
mediately after the disposition
of the railroad proposition. We
heartily concur in the suggestion
and hope TO see such u movement
inagurated.
There is no question but that
San Angeles business interests
demand an organization of this
kind, and will materially suffer
without some action is taken,
looking to q concentration of eff
forts in the upbuilding of the city.
Other towns have profted by or
ganizing business clubs and no
one will deny that they are of
inestimable value to any place
and necessarily essential to a city
the size of San Angelo.
Ballinger has recently perfected
such an organization and as a re-
suit several hundred dollars have
been raised to improve the roads
leading to that city, the need of
which has existed for some time,
especially the construction of a
certain bridge. But previous to
this organization the matter was
neglected from time to time.
The trailway from Brady to So
nora, about which so much has
been said and written recently, is
the result of organized efforts at
these places. Sonora organized n
Commercial Club and raised
$500 toward that and other Ell
terprises. Other instances could
be sighted, but it is unnecessary
as any wide-awake business man
will readily acknowledge the value
of this feature in promoting the
interests of any community.
All that is necessary is for some
one to take the initial step, and
we know of no better time than
on this occasion. If some one
will only make motion to enter
into an organization of this kind,
we are confident that it will pre-
vail by unanimous vote. Then
elect a"president, board of direc-
tors and a secretary and a most
important, move in the onward
marcn to greater achievements
will have been taken. Who will
perform this duty?

Santa Re Making IMPROVEMENTS.

A party of Santa Fe engineers
arrived in the city last week, and
have been doing some surveying
north of the track with the OBJ
iect in view of doing some work
to improve the drainage. Supple
mental stock pens are being
erected near the round house, to
accommodate minor shipments
of live stock, which will make it
unnecessary to go to the main
pens, east of the city, for that
purpose.
A so foot cotton platform has
been added to the freight depot,
and another 60 foot addition is
TO be made.
1t is understood, further, that
these surveyors are here to locate
grounds for the new large ship
ping pens TO be built, and that
they will, more than likely, be
placed on the west side of the
river, so there will be easy and
ample room and facilities fol
handling the largest herds.

sides of the Colorado river, four
miles from Ballinger, last week,
to northern parties, for $4,000.
The land includes tour good
farms of about 500 acres, in culti-

had a regular love feast last week
in which the greaser and coon

Reynolds and Cole about 600 head
of stock cattle, the tailings of his
already well graded bunch of cat
tie, at $l6. The cattle were ship
ped from Big Springs Friday, part
going to market and part to feed
lots in Missouri. Mr.. Glass only
reserved his best bald faced COW
which makes one of the best herds
in the country. He purchased
from Mr.. Reynolds a car load of

that there is more money to be
made in the cattle business by
raising a better grade of cattle
than somany of Indifferent grades.

Lee Glass has lost seven head
of steers during the past two
weeks out of his bunch of fifty
head, the cattle dying from what
has been pronounced fever. They
were moved u few weeks ago from
the gyp water belt in Fisher
county to a pasture south of
Sweetwater, and it is the opinion
of all stockmen who have ex-
pressed themselves, that the
change of water brought on the
disease. .... Henry Wilson was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Cox
Monday on an information filed
by Mr.. Hamm of Merkel charg-
ing him with the theft of a COW.
Mr.. Wilson lives in the south
western part of the county and
stands very high in his commune
ty, and his friends readily came
in and made his bond to wait ac-

who know the accused feel conf
dent that he will be vindicated of
the charge brought against him.

According to the statement
made by The San Angelo Press

pie of San Angelo were in no way
to blame for the state of affairs
that existed. There is too much
commercialism connected with
these reunions for them to be al
together gratifying to the old
soldier who attends them, and the
Messenger is glad to know that
San Angelo did not enter into

wherever numbering is practiced in the
longleaf pine belt. The most import
ant of these is the fire problem. The
first necessity in planning for further
crops en- numbered lands is to protect
those lands from fires, which kill the
reproduction. Light fires repeatedly
burn over the forest floor in the long
leaf forest. and while they do no dam
age to the large trees, all the young
growth is killed. The fire. problem.
briefly stated, is whether it is best to
attempt to protect all the forest or to
limit the protection to cut-over areas.
Slnce the longleaf pine in five years
attains a size large enough to protect
itself from any but the ~severest fires,
1T is probable that the system of fire
