Galveston, Tex, Aug. 23.-The COM
pletion Of the Galveston seawall, thu
greatest structure of Its kind In tha
world. was celebrated yesterday by
running excursions from different partD
Of the state to Galveston. Gov. Lam
ham was present and made an eulogis-
tic address, commenting on the re-
markable work which has been accom-
plished here, Galveston being now i'm
line to seek advantage from the unique
position Of the city as an up-to-data
American port and railroad center
nearest of all to the new Panama Ca
nal and natural outlet for the COM
merce Of nearly one-half the United
States.
The seawall was completed the last
OF July. Two granite monuments vera
erected at the foot of fremont street
to commemorate the completion of tho
wall and these monuments were un-
veiled yesterday. The Galveston sea-
wall represents one Of the finest pieces
of engineering work of any kind ever
accomplished In America. The wall ia
1883 feet long, 16 feet wide at the
base, 5 feet wide at the top and stands
II feet above mean low tide, with a
granite riprap apron extending 27 feet
out on the gulf side. The contract
price of the wall was $1,19S,31S. The
actual construction of the wall proper
II months
The grade of the city Is now to be
raised to slope gradually from the top
Of the seawall. This will necessitate
a raising of the grade from 1 to Is
feet, according to location. For this
purpose the state of Texas has do
mated ali state taxes collected in Gall
weston county, for a period Of 10 years.
Bonds to the amount Of S1,500000 are
to be issued for this purpose.
The last session Of congress provided
for an extension Of the Galveston coun-
ty seawall to protect Fort Crockett for
a distance of 1000 feet to the west.
This will extend the wall to Fifty-ffth
street, SO that the city of Galveston
IN the gulf side will be protected by
seawall the full extent Of its incor-
)orate limits.

THE GALVESTON SEAVALL COMPLETED.
OLDEST KANSAS TEACHER.
William Campbell Has 4e Years to
His Credit, 80 Of Thorn in Kansas.

The inquiry for the school teacher
who has the longest record in the
school room would be incompittr
without mention Of William Camrafeli
OF this county. Mr.. Campbs"' The
Oldest school teacher In the state II
not In the west. He is SO years old
and has except for three years In
which he served in the union army
taught school since 1855, or 40 years.
He taught his first school In the Hickey
district In Scott county, Illinois, in
that year when he was 20 years old.
Except for the three years mentioned,
be has taught every year since. Three
or four years he has not taught full
terms but he has made upIior it by
teaching double time in other years.
Most of his work has been in country
districts and he goes to the institute
with all the regularity Of forty years
ago-if there were such things In
those days-and says he yet finds
much to learn.
Mr.. Campbell has fine farm south
OF town and his So years Of teaching
in Kansas and his record Of 46 years
as pedagogue have left him as jolly
and good'natured as the most critical
could desire. He is a hard worker at |
his books and probably knows more
about history than any teacher in the
county. He is popular with his
tudents and has taught some of the
hardest schools in the county. Many |
OF his pupils every year are younger
than his own grandchildren but Re
enjoys their work thoroughly and
teaches them with kiud Indulgence. |

VoAu'
W. L. Lightner who recently sold
his fine farm in northeast Dickinson
has purchased through r. G. Ton
kin's agency the farm known as the

lene, for $6, ,250. This is one Of the
best farms in the county and Mr..
Lightner will have q fac home.
As an example OF the rate at which
land values have increased this farms
record is interesting. In the middle

Der 1899 it sold for $4,000; in July
1901 E. G. Little who then owned it
sold it for $4,000; in February 1904 it
sold for $4,000. Now. six months
later, it brings $6,25O. The scores Of
land buyers who are coming to this
county are making rising market
for farms. Mr.. Tonkin made a trip
to Missouri last week and says that
SO buyers from that stute will come
here this fall to look for Dickinson
county farms.
The 60-acre farm northeast Of town
formerly owned by Mrs. H. Meyer
and which she sold last spring for
$25OO, was sold today through Mr..
Tonkin's agency for $4,000 to NJ. 0.
