at Portland, Ore, delivered an address

1t was historical and dealt with rail
way interests since 1855 when the asso-
ciation was organized. Then the
United States had $4,000 miles Of rail-
road, now 200, 900. Iowa had 68 miles
and Minnesota had not mile until
seven Years later. That year $4,000
immigrants crossed the plains west
ward. A railroad had been surveyed
from st. Paul to Vancouver, and an
other from Council Bluffs to San Fran
cisco. The first engineer reported
that he would run through 374 miles
of araible land, the latter 632 Of hab-
liable country.
In 1886 the American Agriculturist
published an article entitled Mum
chausen Stories About Western Farm
;ers," which exposed as falsehood the
report that an Illinois, farm located 13O
miles south of Chicago, produced 200
acres of wheat and that 600 more had
been broken for the next crop. The
editor then demonstrated scientifically
that the western prairies would not
grow wheat. The states of Minnesota
and the Dakotas now produce 200, O,OOO,-
900 bushels of wheat annually, which
is nearly double the entire wheat crop
OF the country when the editor laid
down his scientific axiom
The first 500 canal was opened in
1855 and it's registered tonnage for
that year was 100000 tons; it, now ex-
ceeds 3O,OOO,OOO. The passengers
carried then numbered 1000; the
number is now more than $4,000. The
coal shipments in 1866 amounted to
l,4OO tons; today it passes 100000
Phe flour shipments were then west
bound and amounted to 10000 barrels;
today it is all eastbound and is close
to 100000 barrels. No wheat
passed through the 500 UP to 1870; to-
day it exceeds 6O,OOO,OOO bushels. The
iron ore tonnage in 1855 was about
l,4OO tons; now it amounts to 15,OOO,-
900 to 2O,O0O,O0O. Lumber then went
west for the shanties of the settlers:
now the eastern shipments amount to
1.0OO,OOO,O0O feet. Then the total
tonnage Of the freight carried and the
cost of transportation was too small
to be put into a permanent record; the
yearly tonnage is now valued at about
S3ooOOO,OOO and the cost of transpor-
tation amounts to $23OOO,OOO

Advancement In India.

One of the native rulers Of India,
who was educated in England, has
issued decree permitting the re-
marriage of widows. When it is
known that in India there are more
than 20,0O0,000 widows, many Of them
children under 10 years Of age, and
that the condition of widowhood is
virtual slavery, the significance Of
this decree as an entering wedge in

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
Will be held In Waxahachie
Thursday.

The nominating convention of the
Fifth congressional convention will
be held In this city Thursday. This
will be one of the first important
gathering of the democrats since
the state and national conventions
were held two years ago.
This convention will not be void
Of interest. In addition to the nom
ination OF Hon. J. A Reall to sue
eeed Dudley Wooten In congress
and the adoption of platform for
him to run on, district chairman
and an executive committee will be
selected.
This convention will differ with
previous conventions I'm one respect
at least. There will be no bitter or
animated fight over the nomination.
That has been settled. The district
has spoken and the majority of the
delegates are instructed for Mr..
Beall. III is nomination will be
merely matter Of form.
The platform carpenters have no
easy task ahead Of them. The de-
moefacy of the country has been
undergoing changes since the last
defeat Of Bryan by Mckinley and
the new platform ought to conform
to the new conditions. AT any rate,
the construction of the platform will
not be unlnterestinE and democrats
all over the state will watch for the
declaration Of principles on which
Mr Beali will ran for congress.
The selection of a chairman and
an executive committee viii doubt
less be the most interesting feature
OF tie convention. Hon. H. 3 Dill
lard Of Meridian Is at present filling
that position, bat as be was AN ar
dent admirer Of the Dallas candi-
date in the recent campaign, 1t re-
quires no prophet to predict that he
will not be reelected. The Beall
men will dominate the convention
and Il goes without saying that the
chairman will be a Beall man and
the committee COMPOSED Of Beall
men. Several names have been
mentioned IN connection with the
ehairmanship, among the number
being Tom Bell and Hon. W. f..
Spell Of Hillsboro and ] +. Striek-
land of Waxahachie. As Hin coun-
ty saved the district for Beall it is
thought by Some that she should
have the chairman.

construction of the road bed through

right of way is selected A large

FINE PROMISE FOR COTTON
Average OF Condition is High
and Outlook Brilliant.

The New Orleans Times Demo.
crat yesterday published its first
crop report for 1902. The report is
general and covers every cotton
raising state in the South. The re
suits of the investigation may be
summarized as follows:
/. The acreage is practically the
same as that of last year. If there
has been any change, it has been in
the direction of a slight decrease.
?. The average of condition is
very high. Indeed, it is quite with
in the mark to say that in no crop
have the prospects been more brill
liant on the first of June. From this
statement one reservation must be
made: the boil weeyil has greatly
extended it's sphere of influence in
Texas, and the gravest apprehen-
sions are felt on this account.
3. From many sections comes
grievous complaint about scarcity
of labor, and this influence will
make itself strongly felt when the
crop shall come to be picked.
4. The high price of corn and pro-
visions has had less effect on the
laborer and tenant-farmer t h n
might have been expected. 1t is the
consensus of opinion that the crop
has been cultivated with unusual
