OYSTERS ar 1IATAGoRDA.
Colonization Agent Dobbins Interviews
the Government Oyster Experts.

s'Getup and Get" Dobbins, colonial
ton agent of the Santa Fe, has returned
to headquarters here after a several
days tour over the Montgomery branch
and to Beaumont and also spin over
the Cane Belt and in the Matagorda
country, says the Galveston Tribune.
He is doing some tall hustling for a
short man so long on energy and ambi-
ton and possesses the happy faculty of
getting right next to his audience "A
two minute talk with fGoafter En-
DObbinS will drive away the blues OF
the most indigo farmer and bring cheer
and hope to the most forlorn soul.
Every time he talks he says some
thing and this is a gift, an Inheritance,
an accomplishment or a trade that is
worth money, in fact there is millions
in it,
On his last expedition Dobbins got
into the oyster business at Matagorda
and for once has put fish stories to
sleep. He met the United States nSh
commission expedition at Matagorda
and from the expert psychologists and
PSYCHOLOGISTS he learned much and even
more. He was introduced to 1877 differ
ent families of oysters reared in and
about Matagorda and would have met
a few more families had time permitted.
The experts showed him how to dis
tinguish the different families by their
eyes and explained how one egg planted
at the right time would raise a colony
of the bivalves. He was shown how to
feed oysters without having them bite
you and he was shown how to dis
tinguish the food from air bubbles by
aid of powerful microscope. Dobbins
filed Is note books with notes on oys-
ters and will deliver a lecture on the
topic at the next meeting of the local
fish and oyster club.
'sGreat things are promised for the
oyster industry of that section said
Mr.. Dobbins. There are now five men
cultivating oysters at Matagorda to ev-
a a and the indus
try is growing rapidly. One man is Gull
tivating 900 acres in oysters and this is
farm worth talking about. The gov
eminent experts are giving the people
the worth of their information and the
expeditions report will TEEN with valu-
able information about the cultivation
of oysters in that section. Fresh water
has seriously damaged the present cror

section and let in the salt water

J. M. Barr's Letters in Defense
Are Received.
President of SeaBOard Railway
States His Side.
HAS BEST OF ARGUMENT
His Enemies Have Not Forced
His Resignation.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railway Circles.

Copies of the letters of defense by
Mr.. ]. NJ. Barr, president of the Sea-
board Air Line railway, in the contro-
versy between Mr.. Barr and the bank
ing institution of Messrs. John L. Will.
Jams & Sons, have been received in To-
peka.
Mr.. Barr was formerly third vice pres
fdent of the Santa Fe in charge of the
operating department He resigned from
the service of the Santa Fe to accept
position with the Seaboard.
The controversy between the two fac
tions has become very bitter. The
banking house referred to which has
had considerable money tied up in the
road charged Mr.. Barr with mismanage-
ment and incompetency. The charge
was made that he was extrava CANT, etc.
Mr.. Barr has prepared a dignifieG
statement in defense of his position He
declares that the banking house was OPP
Grating the road to the permanent in
jury OF the properties for the purpose of
making a fine financial showing for
stock speculative purposes
Mr.. Barr contended that it cost a
great deal of money to place the motive
power and other equipment of the road
in a satisfactory state of repair, and to
q gan.ze the system which is composed
of a consolidation of large number Oh
small OF rather Independent roads.
"A
SAYS: 'tThe controversy forms a long
story, but IN short it is the results of
an impossible man. Mr.. Williams is
entitled to a great deal of credit for or
ganizing and successfully carrying To Il
conclusion the Seabcard Air Line sys-
tenn from a number of smaller lines.
The south made considerable over
him on this account and apparently this
made Kim believe that he was a very
large man. If he had done the proper
thing he would probably still be in pos
session of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, but apparently, in the vernacular
of the Broadway tough, he bit off more
than he could chew and was forced to
rart with his entire holdings in the Sea-
! beard Air Line railway to save h1mselr
and firm from financial ruin.
In Mr. Bars letters he analyses the
situation on the Seaboard railway show
ing that the Seaboard was getting a
lower rate per ton per mile than an
other road which parallels it, and that
! the operating expense, because OF a long
continued disregard for proper main
tenance of way and equipment, was lar
in excess of what it should have been
In the controversy, Mr. Barr appar-
entity has had the best of the argument
1 and he is still the president of the rall-
way company.

COACH FoR JAYHAwkER TEAM
State University Athletes Think They
Need an Instructor.

Lawrence, Kan, March 21.-An eff
fort will be made in the University of
Kansas to secure a track team coach
before the Kansas aggregation enters
any more contests. Since the showing
Friday night in Convention hall at
Kansas City the supporters of the
crimson and blue have come to real
ization that a coach must be secured
if good work and a half way decent
showing is to be expected. The ath-
letes that participated in the Kansas
City meet are as good as Kansas ever
had, as a whole, but the training that
the men had was an objectionable Of
tense to the Kansas supporters. The
track men in several instances did not
know the first principle of self con-
troll nor any law regarding the control
and use of energy and strength. When
McReynolds came out of the mile race
he was as fresh as when he went in
and walked over to indifferently ask
what the time was. He is an example

of nontraining. He is a winded run
ner, but didn't know enough to exert
a little energy when badly needed:
There were other instances of this ana
a movement has been started here to
engage a coach. A big concert by all
the musical organizations of the school
is being agitated and an effort Will
probably be made to give such a con-
cert and use the funds to hire track

retaliate for the defeat of Friday

left to drag along as it has in the

but little support. Kansas is also
scheduled to meet the University Of
Colorado in an outdoor meet at

school of Mines at Rolla, Mo-, May

tions and their longings. He reads the
letters that come to them and knows all

Nearly every mail contains money
for some of the prisoners. During
January S554.50 We're received. The
most of the money came as gifts from
relatives and friends. Occasionally q
prisoner sells some property that he
owns and he receives the money for
that. One day there came a letter
that contained five dimes tied uD in a
rag. They were from a woman who
said she that she had saved a dime

sacrifice. All of the money passes
through the DostmaSter's hands and is
deposited with the warden to the pris-

as $500 to $500 on deposit over

Mr.. Ernst remarked upon the fact
that there are few cases of women
obtaining divorces from their nus
bands who are in prison Many Of
the letters received are from wives
who are working to obtain their hus-
bands release. They are generally
full of courage and hope. There is
one man at the prison who receives a

daughter.

day when a letter in Indian signs
passed through the office he felt that
he had met his Waterloo. There is

the rival track managers still lined up
and doing battle. The loss has been
severe on both sides, but especially so
for the new corners. It has now re-
solved itself down to a financial test,
in which the longest bank roll will
probably win. The Bush forces have
their funds in bank money, which has
come to the organization in profits ac-

It was he who ordered that issuing of
