TEXAS LOSING HER OIL FUEL.

TEXAS LOSING HER OIL FUEL.
The glowing industrial picture
which was conjured by Texans dur.
ing the excitement incident to the
oil boom at Beaumont seems to be
fading rapidly. It is stated that the
state Texas has decided to abandon
the use Of oil for fuel all state in
situations, and resume tho use Of
coal, because the supply Of oil is not
equal to the demand; also because
the price had advanced beyond the;
point at which liquid, fuel can be
used with economy as against the
use of coal. The oil burning equipe-
ment will be retained, however, in :
the hope that q change may occur
that will establish favorable con-
ditions. DO" ~. r.. .. *.
If the state of Texas finds it un-
profitable to use-oil for fuel, the
Southern Pacific railroad, which has
provided it's locomoties with oil
burning furnaces, will probably
soon resume the use Of wood or coal.
The economies are most closely Gull
tivated by railroad corporations
than by state or municipal govern
ment, and the former are therefore
less likely to stick to losing game;
but perhaps there may be economies
in connection with the use Of oil
that have received only sighting
consideration at the hands Of the
engineers in the state service. 55. sSs
It is to be regretted that the prac-
ticability of oil fuel in the southwest
is becoming problematicat, because
coal is high in price in that section,
and wood very scarce. It is hoped
that the oil would enable the rail-
roads even along the northern
Pacific coast to cease their con-
sumption of wood, which seems to
travellers from the deforested east
like waste of valuable property.

How to Beat the Flood
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell
Suggests Crops for Farmers
Whose Lands Are In "
undated.

Crops that may still be planted
with profit by Minnesota farmers
whose lands were flooded by recent
rains are suggested by W. P.
Cornell, state dairy and food COM
missioner.
"Even if the surplus water does
not disappear until July 1 buck
wheat, millet, fax and rape may
then be planted, says Mr. Nc
Cornell, with assurance of favor
able results. -
"Buckwheat is one of the best
paying crops, yet it is seldom grown
in Minnesota. It can be planted as.
late as July 1. The yield should be-
20 to % bushels an acre, giving 9
profit Of so to as cents bushel.
2 FLAX planted any time during
June will return ten or fifteen BUSH
els to the acre and the price is
usually more than 81 q bushel. l$s
"Millet, one Of the best feeds for
cows-it gives q fine flavor to the
milk-dourishes in wet field. It
should be cut early in the bloom, so
that it won't become too coarse.
Seattle and hogs thrive on rape.
It is good even for mich COWS. But
COWS should be turned into a rape
field just after milking and taken
out about noon the next day. Then
the flavor of tho milk will not be
anpleasantly affected. ="

The Closing Exercises
On Thursday Evening Bring Out
a Vast Gatherins--Fairy Can
tata a Beautiful and Pic
turesque Feature.

The closing exercises Of the grades
of our public school were held in
the M. E. church Thursday evening.
The program as follows. Instru-
mental duet, Miss Thumler and Miss
Yates.
Vocal solo Clifford Loveless.
Recitation Miss Lillian Pratt.
Song by the high school scholars.
Fairy cantata, Miss Arouline Love-
less, queen of the fairies. All rend-
cred their parts in a creditable and
pleasing manner. The little ones in
the fairy drill, and songs were e.
pecially good. The excellent manner
they carried on their parts, denoted
much patience on the part of their
instructor. a1;s5s E@aS4 .l2 9aSss sy4t4 fs Z
The church was packed to it's ut

gain admission. These exercises are
becoming mort prominent each year.
It would have been impossible for
one quarter Of the audience to gain
admission to the high school room
had the exercises been held there.

villlan-or there is need for radical
revision OF the opinions of many
good people regarding the causes of
crime.
:, Have not reformers asserted time
and again that drinking is the"4ncen
tive to most of the evil doing in
the world9 Have not other good
people said that the tobacco habit is
largely responsible for the drinking
habita Have not still others affirm
ed that the underlying cause of all
crime is irreligion2 Here is q man
asserting himself free from the in
centives to criminality which beset
the generality of criminals, yet ow-
ing to the commission of crimi-
nal act, and endeavoring to make
his exemption from bad habits a
reason why he should be tenderly
dealt with.
The case recalls Abraham Lin
coin g story of the driver who offer
cd him q guild and to whom he re-
piled, II never use tobacco, ''where-
upon the driver driyly replied: I've
noticed that folks who have no small
vices generally have some d-n big
ones. - There ie q possibility that the
Indiana man is not speaking the
truth when he claims impeccability
in SO many directions, while ad-
hitting that he is q forger. Perhaps
he adds to his other villainy that of
being q hypocrite. Milwaukee

see no reason why this may not be
true. It horses can mire in the

legs long and their weight could
sink them into the soft earth easily.

1t was explained that the para agraph
of this letter referring to Indians had
TO do with other cases. In those cases
unofficial notice had come to Summers
Office of certain alleged violations of
the law by men who were attempting
to fraudulently secure possession of
Indian lands. The cases were then
under investigation by the interior de-
partment and Summers wrote for the
evidence it had to lay before the grand
jury The department replied through
the Office of the attorney general that
it preferred first to complete its own
investigation, and did not want the
matter probed by the grand jury in the
meantime

Cauca and Antioquia Sail To Be Going to
Join Panama.
Washington, Nov. 19.-The state de
partment has received advices that the
departments of Cauca and Antioquia,
of Colombia, are seeking to separate
fEom that government, and are solicit
ing admission into the Panama repub-
lie.
No surprise is expressed here over
the report that these departments are
making an effort to align themselves
with the republic of Panama. The
two departments named. and also that
of Bolivar, are the most prosperous in
the whole Colombian territory. They
contribute the greater portion of the
revenues for the federal treasury, that
of Antioquia alone paying about one
third OF the entire amount. The An
tfoquians are known as the Yankees
of Colombia, and are progressive and
business-like people.
For a long time there has been dis
satisfaction and discomfort among the
people of these departments over the
management of affairs by the poll
ticians at Bogota, by whom they say
their rights have been disregarded and
their interests treated indifferently. A
disposition toward secession has mani
tested itself among them. and an open
revolt at this time would not be sur
prising. The department of Cauca will
benefit more largely than that of any
other except Panama from the con-
struction of a canal across the 18TH
