War News.

The San Angelo lumber war
seems to be getting down to bust
ness. Lumber is being sold below
cost and hundreds of new houses
are being built in Angelo. This
war Is one Of the hardest and
strongest that San Angelo has
ever known and each company
has a big hand in the pot. The
war has been on for several
months and while it may mean a
loss to the lumber people it
means improvements in way of
new houses to San Angelo and
surrounding country. Prices are
down where the poor man can
easily own a home and now is the
time to build. A representative
of this paper was informed that
the Grant Lumber Co. ad. was
not in the nature of a cut-but
they claim to be fighting a lum-
Der combine.
The Grant Lumber Co. is evil
IDENTIFY here to stay as they claim
in their ad., because they have
recently ordered about twenty
five cars of new lumber and
materials and are pushing their
business by very extensive adver-
Using. Look up the latest news
from the lumber war on page 8.

CYCLONE DESTROYS HOUSE
County Demolished Wednes-
day. Mrs. Lynn's Escape.

Mack Lynn, a brother of DR..
Bascom Lynn, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon from the
Lynn ranch in Schleicher county.
about fifty miles from here. He
reports that cyclonic wind from
the southwest completely demol-
ished their four room ranch house
last Wednesday. Mrs. Lynn the
mother, and Miss Mary Kay, of
San Angelo, were alone at the
house and saw the cloud coming.
Mrs. Lynn who had been in a tor
nado before, Immediately hitched
up horse and buggy and the two
left the house for the residence of
her son-in-law, Mr.. Willoughby,
living some distance from the
Lynn residence.
Mr.. Lynn said it was about
twenty minutes after his mother
and Miss Kay left the house when
the wind struck 1t. The house
was torn to pieces as was all fur
niture and household goods. 1t
was indeed fortunate that the
ladies left the house as they
would very probably have been
killed
There was no tornado insurance
carried on the house and the loss
is total.
The Lynn ranch is just north
of the Vermont ranch. 1t is re-
ported that this wind blew down
several windmills in it's path, one
of which was a 20 it. Eclipse on
the Vermont.
Mr.. Lynn said that one queer
incident of the wind was that a
window frame containing four
panes was blown over nearby
creek about fifty yards from the
house and was found leaning
against tree without a single
pane cracked

 Commissioner Knapp did not believe in the argument that there was danger of iniexibility in, rates or of fixed
 mileage rates in case the proposed leg
 islation was adopted, as seemed to be
 feared by the railroad men. Notwith-
 standing the fluctuations in the price of cotton. there had been no change in transportation rates in ten years. MT.
 Knapp cited the answer to the asser-
