Government Circulars In
Post Office.

Postmaster General Cortelyou. think
ing that the postoffices in this country
are the most frequented places in each
community, has inaugurated a scheme
for posting government circulars in all
the postoffices over the country. These
public notices are to be conspicuously
displayed. and by this method il is
hoped to give information to many peo-
Pile who have hitherto had il by mail or
were in ignorance of much of the gov
ernment's work.
Among the first circulars to be posted
in the postofFices will be pamphlet is
sued by the Forest Service of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Other de-
partments having information or notices
of public interest will furnish circulars
for the Postotiice Department.
When the yellow fever epidemic was
at its height, week or so ago. Surgeon
General Wyman prepared a circular ex-
planning the causes of the disease and
methods for its prevention and possible
cure. This gave the Postmaster General
the idea of posting such circulars in all
postotfices. Copies of DIR. Wyman's
circular were sent to each postmaster
in the yellow fever zone. and to-day he
believes that the work of thus making
il public was great advantage and aid
TO the people in the South. The Post
office Department thinks that If this
trial was so successful. that the inaugu-
ration of scheme for cooperation with
other branches of the government
service will be Of advantage not only to
the government, but to the public at
large.

A Standing Grievance.

The local oystermen are much pleased
at the outlook for prolific oyster sea
son. Daily the catch is larger and
while the oysters are small they are
free from musscls and will increase in
size as the season progresses. With
the oystermen, however. the Hannah
oyster bill is their standing grievance.
since il makes its appearance at each
session of the Legislature. The bitter
fight to secure its passage. showing on
each occasion narrowing margin of
lawmakers who are disposed to respect
the prejudice Of the oystermen, having
reused their great apprehension.
As result of this condition, the
oyster is in politics. He is the greatest
counties. as well as on the Western
Maryland No man should be allowed
to represent the voters in these coun-.
ties who has not previously announced
his antagonism to legislation providing
for the leasing of the oyster beds: The
oystermen of these counties should pass
upon the prospective lawmakers candi-
dacy in accordance with his willingness
and ability to fight the Hannah bill and
all similar measures when he reaches
Annapolis.
The objections to the Hannah bill from
the oystermen's standoint are many.
They all unite in pronouncing it a
measure cunningly designed to turn
over the great oyster commons of the
Chesapeake bay to some monopoly, with
the additional affront that the resources
of the state will be employed in protect
ing this monopoly in its ill-gotten pos
sessions. 1.-THE Hannah bill is lawyer
bill. they say. and who ever heard of
lawyer working for nothing. spending
his own money to persuade the people
that his bill is good thing? Look at
the powerful interests that are advocat-
ing the Hannah bill. They say it's all
for the good of the state. Who ever
heard Of these same people doing any
thing except for their own good? Eren-

AT this time, when many people
are engaging in the fruit industry
in this section, it is well to call at
tention to a matter which is too
frequently overlooked. This is the
importation of scale and other dis
eases very detrimental to fruit
growing. The fruit industry is in
its infancy, and its future may be
very seriously menaced by the in
PRODUCTION of scale and disease from
infected sections. This is matter
that should interest every citizen
who has a tree or flower in his
yard. A mass meeting of citizens
should be held within the next few
weeks, to take steps to guard
against the possible introduction of
this foe. At which meeting men
mho-ane capable of giving instruc-
ton could be induced to, address
the meeting, and offer remedies
which .have:been successfully used

diseases which may be. Transmitted
from infected districts, are ruinouS,

AS regards the cities of Texas.
there is not any doubt in the minds of
those who are we'll posted and have
made study of the cities of the
South from commercial standpoint.
that Houston is at no distant date
destined to become to the state of
texas and to adjoining states what
Chicago is to the middle Northwest,
Even the past few months the city has
made wonderful strides in both popu-
lation and commercial expansion.
The municipal government has lately
Oeen changed from bo7~ dlder-
men to O. board of C, mmissioners com
posed of business men who have no
political axes tc, grind The bene-
ticial result of this change has been
already felt throughout the city and
vicinity, as large property owners
who have practically escaped taxa
ton are now being taxed by this COM
mission on the same basis as the
small property owner.
Houston is an up-to-date CITY in
every respect, having all the modern
conveniences which we have in orr
Northern cities. The prevailing opin-
ion IN the North is, that on account of
Houston being located SO far south.
that the heat must be very intense in
summer. This is not the case. how
ever. It is true that during the dav
the sun is quite warm, just as it is in
the North, but instead of the swe1ter-
ing hot nights, we have a fine gulf
breeze, which springs up in the even
ing and makes one forget about the
heat of the day, and after a refresh
ing nights sleep one feels like begin
ming his next days toll with renewed
energy. So, after all, the change of
climate, with the exception of winter.
which is very mild here, is not so
great as is the idea of the people of
the North.
The pleasures of the North are
equally duplicated in the South. and
for every winter sport and pleasure
there is something here to take it's
place.
Texas is fast developing. The
Mexican, with his basket of tamales
on one arm and his can of chile con-
carne on the other, is fast being sup
planted by such places as the Ell Cafe
Mexicano in Houston, where the most
palatable chilli and tama1es are served
and where the soothing stains of
Mexican music are heard at all times.
Hoping that this short description
of this part of Dixie Land will inter
est you, and remembering that if
there are any further inquiries, it will
be pleasure for me to answer them,

DRov1 INTO A CELLAR
Tom Holland Drives over Eight Foot
EnbanklAent but Escapes Injury

49, DEAFGS over Eight e DOT
EnbankLAent but Escapes Injury
Tom Holland, well known man
about town, narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury Just after 10 O'clock Sun
day night when he drove over an
eight foot embankment at the new
Ripley building on Wisconsin street.
Fortunately he escaped with a badly
bruised wrist and several bruises on
the body. Holland, believing that
there was "a alley in the middle of
the block, started to drive through it
when without any warning the horse
plunged into the excavation for the
new Ripley building. The shouts Of
Holland soon brought crowd to the
scene and planks were secured and
the horse rescued. The horse was I'M
injured but the buggy was badly de-
mo1ished.
There has been considerable COM
plant on account of the failure Of
contractors to put up lights on new
buildings and on the streets. Of
course this excavation was on private
property and lights were not demand
ed but there are many places in the
same neighborhood where the off Gals
have allowed contractors to build
without taking proper precautions.
