PRINTERS, RELIEF ASSOCIATION
Its Work for the Past Year Note

The Printers Relief association, an
auxiliary organization to the Topographic
cal union, has done noteworthy work
the past year. The benefit Of the asso-
citation is $40 per week and continues for
period Of six months in any one year.
The benefit starts with the second week
and continues until the beneficiary is able
to return to his employment. The benefit
fund is sustained by means OF per capita
assessment During the year there was
$4,000 paid out in benefits, while the IN
come Of the association amounted to
ST ,07609; printing and postage, $3O.4l;
cost of running the association for the
year, s17.25.
One member paid into the association
during the year $2.75 and drew out $2O7.2o
Another put into the treasury 50 and are"
out $780, From these two cases 1t can be
plainly seen that the association has been
able to show its utility and advantages.
There were thirty-seven members on
the sick list for the year, and six members
at one time were drawing benefits.
That it is believed in by the printers OF
the city is evinced by the increase IN
membership. Twenty three new names
have been added to the rolls. making the
total membership 1885, -.u'. .

No man that has looked into the Texas
Oil proposition can question the great fu-
ture Of this field Of enterprise. Only he
who shuts his eyes fails to see that dol

The Houston Post Of Jan. II, has sum-

cas- we'll came in Jan. 10, 1901.
Since that time there has been ex-
pended in development over $7,O0O,OOO, and
the Post goes on to say, and the fact that
this amount of money was put into wells
and facilities for storing and marketing
oil in one year justifes the assertion that
Spindle Top Heights has been the busiest
spot on earth during the past twelve
months"
The proven field Is now conceded to
embrace about 235 acres. with land selling
all the way up to 100000 an acre, with
900 as the minimum price.
The question of shipment and transpor-
tation is the only unsolved problem in this
entire proposition. It takes time to build
tanks and tank cars, but there is no in
dustry in the world in which. greater
speed is displayed than in that, directly
due to Texas OIL For instance, during

two-thirds as much oil shipped as during

feel confident that it will follow the ex-

Husting Is offered $4,000.

Special to The journal. ---- 81
Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. lit Is more than
probable that Pitcher Pete Husting, who
pitched such splendid ball the latter part Of
last season for the brewers, will be found
with Jimmy McAleers st. Louis team in the
American League, next season. Husting
wanted to retire from the game, but he has
a splendid offer from Matt Killilea, president
of the St. Louis club, and there is strong
possibility that he will accept it. The figure
is close to $3,0OO and sum that is not to be
sneezed at-even in these days OF baseball
war. Jimmy Collins said last fall that he
considered Husting one of the best pitchers
in the country, and there is no doubt about
St. Louis making it worth his while to play
another season.
