PRODUCTION AND
USE OF GYPSUM

'Mlneral Resources or the United
States, 1908" which the United
States Geological Survey will soon
bring out, is entitled "The Pro-
duction of Gypsum in 1903" In
this 1t will appear that the gypsum
industry has made considerable
advance during recent years. The
total production for 1903 is given rs
l.O4l,7O4 short tons. valued at
80. 1902. .943, as against sl6,47S
short tons, valued at s20s, 933, ,34l,
which was the output for 1902. The
production Of gypsum Is reported as
crude gypsum, land plaster. plaster
Of Paris. and wall plaster, according
TO the condition IN which the gypsum
tisrt reaches the market. The figure
given as that of the total production
IL, therefore, an estimate arrived
at by computing the whole output as
crude gypsum. The total value
given is that Of the product In it's
different forms az It reaches market.
The advance In the use Of gypsum
has resulted mainy from the In.
creased use Of gypsum plastered all In
modern buildings. Much Of the
gypsum sold as plaster Of paris is
subsequently manufactured into wall
plaster by local firms. About 5000
tons are annually utilized In bedding
plate glass during the process Of
grinding and polishing. The pro.
duction of land plaster is confined
To certain of the eastern states, where
1t IL used as a fertilizer, and to few
localities In the West. where 1t is
employed In neutralizing "black
alkali." The gypsum which is sold
crude is in large part ground locally
and utilized az land plaster. Some
Of 1t enters, as a small percentage,
into the composition OF certain
Portland cements.
1t is interesting to note that the
proportion of crude gypsum calcined
to the total crude production rose
from eighty per cent In 1901 to
about eighty three per cent In 1902
and to about eighty-six per cent In
1903, but the total calcined pro-
duction In 1908 was more than the
total crude production Of 1901 by
about 10000 tons. 1t 10 also
worthy of note that the value pei
ton OF the calcinsd gypsum rose from
s3.3l In 1901 to s4.77 In 1908.
That part OF the report which take'
up the production by states contains
many interesting facts regarding the
occurrence Of our gypsum deposits
The gypsum industry 10 carried OF

and territories, which, named In tht

acteristics of the performance given
at thu opera house last night bv the
Ted Faust Minstrels. 1t was de-
cidedly the best minstrel company
that has visited Waxahachie this
season. This was their first visit to
the city and judging from the inn
preston made on the theater goers
they would be accorded hearty
welcome should they ever decide to
play "a return date. The first part

livered one Of the most eloquent
and scholarly discourses ever heard
from IL at pulpit. Bishop Hoss has
clear, ringing voice, is a force
full speaker. and his sermon last

heard it. Ia his discourse he paid
a beautiful tribute to his mother,
and his graphic description of trip

perience as plough boy made a
happy impression on the audience.
Bishop Hoss is about - years old
and is regarded as one of the most
finished scholars in the South. I g

Methodist church a great many
years. For twelve years he edited

New Workers to Have a Great

No Pains Or Expense Will Be

New York, Jan. Anew York is to
have baseball next season such as has
never been seen here, If the present
plans of the rival clubs in this city are
carried out in full. Even if the club
managers decide that it is not neces-
sary to go the limit they are now plan
ming, and only do half they propose,
the game here will be of the pennant-
winning sort, and both the Giants and
Highlanders will have bright chances
of carrying Oft the rags of their re-
specuive organizations.
Both clubs are out to get good play
ers, and no expense will stand in the
way of securing the best to be had
Barney DreyfuSs, owner of the Pitts
burg Baseball club, whose winter home
is in New York, will go to Cincinnati
next Monday to attend the meeting of
the baseball commission. Mr.. Dreyfuss
is busy these days arranging Nation
al league schedule, he, Ebbetts and
Hart being the schedule committee. 1T
isn't hard job when you get the hang
of it, he said. you've got to keep in
mind railroad fares and jumps, and
holiday scheme of games and build
around these
Dreyfuss refuses to give an inkling
as to his idea Of the apportionment of
dates for next season, but it is a pretty
good guess that the New Yorks will
open at home with Boston, and the
Brooklyns iii Philadelphia. 1t looks
now as If there would be a conflict of
opening dates in New York. since the
New York Americans are to open at
home. either with Boston or PhiladeI-
phia, probably the latter.
The Dreyfuss schedule is not neces-
sarily the enc that will be adopted.
since Ebbetts will submit one, too. One
or the other may be selected. or the
two nerged into third AS matter
of fact. the schedule committee will
draw up several plans. Again. the
schedule makers of the National league
are to meet Ban Johnson. in whom the
authority to draw up the American
league schedule is vested. and the rep
resentatives Of the two leagues will
then go over the schedules. and so far
as possible do away with conflicting
dates. This meeting will be held this
month. Dreyfuss having received a let
ter from johnson suggesting that the
schedules be gone over some time in

JOE WATERS, POEM.
Read by j. NJ Meade at Meeting of
Roadmasters' Association.

Read by j. NJ Meade at Meeting OF
Roadmasters' Association.
The following poem by Capt Joseph
G. Waters of Topeka, at one time attor-
ney for the Santa F'e railway, was read
by J. NJ. Meade of this city at a recent
meeting of the roadmasters' association:
For once we have the right of way;
The track is ballasted and clear:
The semaphores burn bright as day
And Number One has naught to fear.
For once we do not have to sit
With brakeman on the hindmost seat
and watch the rails slide under 1t,
And hear the car wheels bump and beat.
No more we watch the shoveIs fly.
Nor note the gangs swift plying picks,
occurring sure as trains go by
With Dagoes, Greeks, Coons or Nicks.
No midnight call to dress and go
To some head-end collision wreck
When all the blooming billiards. blow,
with mud and water to your neck.
No sliding track, no washing bank,
No mangled mule or butchered COW,
No cambered rail, no rottOn plank,
Have we to answer for just now.
Hereafter if reward we claim.
From duty well performed below,
This is the only one we know.
Each to his cease1ess task of care,
With kind adieus, will soon be gone;
TO guard the track and trains that bear
The Nations mighty commerce on.

j. G. Stubs, Traffic Manager,
Also Talked OF.
is A HARTMAN MAN.
Stubs Would Help Unite the
Hartman Lines.
Burt Says He Was Not Com.
PEELED to Quit.

New York, Jan. 4.-There are persist
ent rumors here that Governor Odell
will succeed Horace G. Burt, whose
resignation as president of the Union
Pacific railroad reached the directors
here yesterday from Omaha. Mr.. Burt
will not leave the road until a success
sor is appointed. The report that Mr..
Burt and Mr.. Hartman had disagreed
and that this led to the formers resig-
nation is not given credence here. Mr..
Burt's reasons for resigning are that
his health is bad and that he is in need
of long rest.
1T MAY BE STUBBS.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-The most talked of
man for the presidency of the Union
Pacific railroad, to succeed H. c. Burt,
who resigned Saturday, is J. c. Stubs,
one of E. H. Harriman's right hand
men. Mr.. Stubs has had a wide range
of experience in railroad business, and
has been connected with the Hartman
interests for many years. He is in touch
with the Union Pacific, being at present
traffic director of it with other Harri-
man lines.
Mr.. Stubs is traffic director of the
Hartman system of railroads, including
the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company
quarters at Chicago, and he is also third
vice president of the Southern Pacific.
He stands high in the estimation of Mr..
Hartman, and being connected with the
Southern Pacific, which, it is thought
by railroad men, Hartman wishes to
join more closely with the Union Pa
cific, makes him a likely candidate for
the position Of president of the latter
road. Mr.. Stubs is strictly a "Harri-
man man" in all his ideas and manage
ment of the railroad work in his charge,
and would be fit man to carry out
Harriman's plan of harmonizing the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific rail-
roads.
NOT FORCED TO QUIT.
Omaha, Jan. An an interview Hor-
ace G.. Burt made the following state
ment today: MY resignation as presi-
dent of the Union Pacific railroad was
entirely of my own volition and for
purely personal reasons. The state
ments that I resigned because of fric-
ton between E. H. Hartman, chairman
of the board of directors of the Union
Pacific railroad, and myself, is abso-
lutely untrue and without any founda-
ton whatever"
