In the grounds adjacent to Went

q unique sundial. which is composed
of a fine yew tree for the pin and

Texas produced last year nearly
5000, 900 bales of cotton valued at
$3.50, OOO, 900 or one-fourth OF the en-
tire crop of the world.
Texas produced live stock last year
to the value of $37, 0O,O0O and was
second in oil producing 19,OOO,OOO
barrels.
Texas coal last year amounted to
the enormous total of 6,5OO,OOO tons
and yet some people think that fuel is
scarce in Texas.
Texas has more miles of railways
than any other state and built more
new lines last year than any state.
The population OF Texas increased
more rapidly last year then in any
other state.
Texas produced last year 5000, 900
pounds of sugar.
Texas has the best school system
in the Union, fewer farm mortgages
than any state, lowest rate OF taxation
and lowest death rate.
What is surprising to many people
is the fact that Texas is a sea coast
state and has as good harbors and sea
coast cities as any state in the Union.

More timber land than Michigan.

The famous panhandle of Texas it
you will look at map of Texas you
will notice that the Northwestern
counties extend NJ UGH further north
than the general northern boundary
of the state, and this projecting por-
tion was called by the early settlers
the "panhandle." There are similar
sections in some other states and are
usually known by this name of "pan-
handle." The projecting portion was
thought to bear some resemblance to
the handle of a frying pan.
Its general location is exactly south
of western Kansas and southeastern
Colorado. Western Oklahoma lies
Immediately east Of it, and the soil Of
its western line of counties is Identical
with the lands OF the panhandle.
But these Oklahoma counties were
government lands and every quarter
section was susceptible of homestead
entry so that the Oklahoma border
looks different from the Texas lands
because on every available quarter
section is already home and a
family.
There is also long, slim strip of
Oklahoma along the boundary of
northern Texas that IS well settled up
although it is really less valuable
than the panhandle lands Immediately
south of it.
There are no free homestead lands
in Texas, no government lands.
Texas did not come into the union as
other states< but being an indepen-
dent country, was admitted by treaty.
This explains why the adjoining
states where homestead lands could
be had, have been settled, while Texas
is still largely virgin soil waiting for
the day now at hand when the good
free land would be all taken up and
the home seekers attention be turned
to the equally valuable, in some
cases better land that can be had at a

FRIENDS YEARLY MEETING
COMES TO A CLOSE
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WHITTIER, June 26.-The Friends
yealy meeting. which has been in ses-
sion the past week, concluded with the
service at the Friends church this
morning, and thus ended one of the
most important of yearly meetings in
the history Of that organization.
The church was crowded with
Friends interested in the recults of the
meeting. Reports from the different
committees formed a greater part of
the mornings program. When Presi-
dent Tebbetts announced that the last
cent of the 100000 endowment fund
had been subscribed and also sum
toward the payment of the college debt
it was the signal for prolonged ap-
riause. With this sum the college en-
dowment now stands $150,00O.
The Woman's auxiliary has taken up
the proposition of the Indebtedness,
$12, 900, and they expect to have the
debt wiped out in a few weeks. With
such hearty aupport as they have re-
ceived in the past they doubtless will
accomplish the task they have set
themselves to do.
The board of directors fin that more
members are needed to carry out the
work on broader lines, and DR.. w. ".
Coffin, president of the toard spoke in
THIS Denalt. 1T was ueclded tnaI more
members be chosen and that one at
least should not be a member of the
California yearly meeting.
The business committee have de-
cided upon June 10, 1907 as the date
for the next convention, the program
to be substantially the same as that
of this year.
After numerous touching farewell
speeches Rev. John Chowner pro-
nounced the benediction. and with
many a hearty hand clasp and ex-
preston of good fellowship the visitors
departed for their various homes all
over California, to meet in Whittier
again at the next yearly meeting.

II couple of wandering Chinese are
not soon found.
When the steamer came into this port
she carried crew of forty-two Chi
nese, none of them having the right to
either land here in America or remain
here should they get a landing. To
prevent the possibility of this the
steamer owners were Obliged to put
up bond of $500 apiece for each ceies-
tial on board and to have a couple of
watchmen patrol the wharves all the
time to see that none escaped.
Three times day the crew was lined
up alongside the cabin and counted by
the officers, and this morning when the
person in charge counted them he
found the number two short
Thinking a mistake had been made in
the count he tried it over again, but the
same figures prevailed, as they did the
third and even the fourth counts A
careful search was instituted on the
vessel and in every spot ashore where
there was possibility of the men
being in hiding, but all with no avail.
1t is quite difficult for the Chinese to
escape entirely, and the captain of the
ship is not much worried on account
of having to put up the $1,000. There Is,
however. the possibility that they may
never be seen by any one who knows
them, and if so the government will be
richer by two in population and $1,000
in money.
