Everybody VIII Be Asked t %

In pursuance of the article in the Sun
day morning and the following committee
was organized for the purpose of solicit
ing money for the sinking of as many
wells as possible for the purpose Of find
ing out what lay beneath the ground
around Wichita Thomas II. Griffith was
elected president, F. II. Robertson, vice
president; Whitney Tucker, treasurer, and

Griffith. 1t was decided that the presi-
dent, vice president and secretary form
a committee to order the buttons imme
diately. 1t was also decided that all
leases taken should be for the benefit of
the city of Wichita and if anything is
found in the shape of gas, oil, coal or
salt that the city at large would get the
benefit of it. 1t was also voted that the
president, vice president and secretary
constitute an executive committee for the
general management of such matters that
come up from time to time until the
board is called together again. All that
remains now is for the citizens of Wichita
to act in harmony with the committee
and by the first of July and probably
much sooner there will be money enough
raised to start at least two wells. The
intention is to bore four or five wells or
as many as possible since it is a well
known fact that even in the oil districts
there is only one good well in every three
or four
In the meantime, while the members
of the company are awaiting the arrival
Of the buttons. the work of taking orders
for them will be commenced.
This will be conducted in the follow
ing manner:
Immediately after the meeting yesterday
a paper on the order of a petition was
drawn up of which there will be several
hundred copies printed. At the top of
these petitions there will be reading mat
ter telling what the petition is for. That
is, explaining that every person who signs
his or her name will be entitled for the
price of one dollar, to aid in the work
of boring forw gas. one of the buttons.
At all of the larger places. mercantile
establishments of all kinds, a supply of
the buttons will be kept in stock. At the
smaller places the proprietor will take
subscriptions and when he has received
ten dollars and has a like number of
names on the petition or agreement he
will present the money at any of the
banks and receive an equal number of
buttons. These he will turn over TO
those who have subscribed.
In addition to this plan, representative
business men will be given fifty or one
hundred of the buttons, to sell to their
friends.

TEXAS.
Despite the ravages of the boil
weevils, Southwest Texas is fal
from being in sackcloth and ashes
this year.
Except in a few localities where
diversifcation has not been intro
duced, the people are preparing,
just as if the weevils had never
crossed the Rio Grande river, for,
while still recognizing the value of
cotton as a crop, they are not put
ting their faith solely in the crop,
but are getting good incomes from
several other sources.
In Kerr and contiguous counties,
farmers plant cotton, but they also
SOW wheat and oats and other
cereals, all of which grow success
fully, and, in addition, they are
raising apples and pears and
peaches, and tomatoes which the
world can't excel. In the counties
to the south, extending to the
coast, in close proximity to each
cotton patch, they plant cabbage
ands potatoes and watermelons and
canteloupes and various other vege-
tables; in the section to the east of
San Antonio cotton, while still an
important factor, Is no longer king,
for corn and potatoes and vegetables
and rice and tobacco are close COM
petitors, and in several counties
the latter seems likely to become
the paramount crop, for there the
Cuban tobacco is duplicated in
each of its good qualities and the
Southwest Texas article is beoom-
ing more popular each year In
the western portion of Southwest
Texas, cotton has never been the
chief dependence, nor will it ever
become so, for besides the live
stock industry which is so profitable
in that section, various crops which
do better there than cotton, are re-
ceiving attention, and truck farm
ing promises good returns in that
section of balmy skies and accessible
water.
Then, too, the recent rains will
make grass plentiful, and thus in
sure a prosperous year to stockmen.
All these conditions combine to
make Southwest Texas measur-
ably independent of cotton and
enables it to bid defiance to the boil
weevils provided their devastations
shall continue and cotton raising
thereby be rendered too precarious
to be profitable.
It is hoped the boil weevils will
be speedily exterminated, but if
they are not, Southwest Texas will
continue to prosper.-San Antonio
Express.

RECOMMENDS ABANDON
MENT OF FORTS.
General Sumner Would Increase Other
Rio Grande Garrisons.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Majol
General S. S. Sumner, commando
of the Southwestern division, com
Iprising the Departments of Texas
and Colorado, in his annual report
makes some radical recommends
tons looking to the abandonment
of military posts on that division
regarded as of the greatest import
ance in the old days of Indian war
fare Some posts he wishes to be
brought up to date in the matter OF
water supply and other conven-
fences, as in the case of Fort Hua-
chua, He wants this fort enlarged
and if that is done, he suggests the
abandonment of Fort Grant, which
is too distant from the railroad.
Fort Clark is said to be in a
tumbledown condition ten miles
from the railroad and on a lime
stone ledge, and in a most unfav-
orable position
General Sumner says that for
strategic reasons it would seem
we'll to abandon the site of Fort
Clark and establish a post of like
size near the present site of the
camp at Eagle Pass.
Touching Fort Ringgold on the
Rio Grande opposite Camargo, it
is said that the twenty-mile road
connecting it with the railroad is
practically impossible in wet wealth
er, so General Sumner recommends
that Fort Ringgold be abandoned
at an early date, and that Fort
Brown and Fort Mcintosh be cor
respondingly increased.
If these suggestions are adopted
there will be a loss of posts on the
Mexican border covering all rail
communication between the Unit
ed States and Mexico
Other posts that might be aban-
doned are Forts Wingate and Du-
chesne, while Fort Apache is said
to beremote and expensive to main
tain at full strength and should be
reduced to a two-troop post.
General Sumner thoroughly in
dorses some strong recommended
tons made by his inspector gener-
al as to the great colleges in the
in which he says that the
military colleges do not carry out
the orders of the War Department.
He recommends that no army
officers be hereafter permitted to
these colleges unless the
provisions of the War Depart
orders are complied with.
General Sumner says he intends
to have maneuvers next autumn
on an extensive scale in the divis-
ion and is preparing to submit
problems to the War Department.
He suggests Fort Sill and Fort
Reno reservations as desirable fields
for the maneuvers, but if it is con-
advisable to go further
south, then the country north of
San Antonio, generally known as
Leon Springs, is said to possess
many advantages.
