BUCKMAN WON SUIT -
IN MINNESOTA COURT

!. St. Paul, June &c. B. Buchanan
won victory when the supreme
court filed an opinion ruling against
the state in the suit to compel the
Eighth District congressman to dis
gorge about $4,000 for alleged tres.
pass on state timber lands.
The contention of the court is that
the. claim is >outlawed under the. state
law Of limitations. The suit began III,
the Ramsey County court and an order
|of that tribunal sustaining Congress
man Buckman's demurrer to the suit
lis upheld. ="
The state. however, still has the
right to recover the actual value OF
the timber taken and this Attorney
General Young says will be done. The
excess over the actual value was the
penalty which the timber law pre-
|scribes, and it was this penalty that
the statute OF limitations covered The
state, should have brought suit within

Letter fr I'M Texas.
WEST, TEXAS, June Is, 1905

WEST, TEXAS, June Is, 1905.
Editor of the Beacon
As nearly all Of your readers are in
terested in crop conditions, | have no
doubt they will be interested in the
status of the Texas cotton crop. The
report which was recently made, is
based upon correspondents from 422
points and shows that the acreage has
been reduced 1857 per cent. The long
continued and excessive rains have
made our crops at least thirty days
later than average conditions. The
The planting belated, stands not good,
fields left very grassy and wcedy, labor
scarce and very high priced. The web
worm has damaged the plant. while
many counties show the boil weevil's
return. Once upon a time rain fell forty
days and nights and it abated. Also,
or another occasion no rain fell on the
earth for three years and six months.
These conditions adjusted themselves
under the supervision of an All-wise
Providence and my faith is still firm
that 'all's wcll.''
The Texas weather is an unknown
problem and even the oldest settler will
not advance an opinion. One who
prophecies is at onc thought TO he a
newcomer or a fool. The clouds have
now given wayto sunshine and cUffi and
cotton have begun to take on an eli f"
movement, while smiles have chased
away frowns from the faces Of our peo-
pie,
The small grain belt has not escaped
unhurt and the oat crop will be good,
but wheat will be far below the average
yield, suffering from rust. The reapers
and binders are now heard on every
hand and ONE threshing is also in pro-
gress. Sib Stone Of Celina commenced
threshing his wheat one afternoon at .
o clock. At s clock the follow
ing morning there was a beautiful

loaf Of bread on exhibition at one OF
the stores made with flour ground from
the wheat. From the shock to the ta-
Bile in less than eighteen hours is a
pretty hard record to beat.
Texas is having an immense emigra-
ton and the large ranch lands are be
ing divided up to the nan with the hce
She cheap lands will seon be a thing o.
the past. The population of Texas has
advanced SO per cent between 1890 and
1900. Texas now produces nearly one
third of the country's entire cotton
crop. Her recent average has been
been about three million bules. The
region between the Mississippi and the
continental divide Of the Rockies will
seek an outlet by Texas ports and
chiefly Galveston, which will be the
natural outlet to the sea.
For 1901 Galveston vas the fourth
city in her export of live stock. third
in breadstuffs, second in cotton seed
products and first in wheat and cotton.
The new canal waterway complete will
enable the southwest to secure further
industrial conquests.
Wishing you and my friends in Nox-
ubee a prosperous year | am
Very truly,
WARREN NELSON,
