Costing 5000.

College Station, Texas, Nov. "a
It. w. Larkin, secretary of the
Denison Board of Trade, was here
on business with authorities of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col.
lege. The object of Mr.. I.arkin's
visit was to consult with President
Harrington and members of the ex-
pertinent station force regarding
some experiments in which the
Board of Trade is interested.
Mr.. Larkin is a great advocate
of good roads, and is doing a great
work for road Improvement in his
section of the State. He has the
credit of having introduced into
Texas the famous "split-log drag"
which is declared to be the cheap
est and best road grader in ex-
istance. The drag is made by split
ting log, placing the two halves
some two feet apart, on edge, the
split side to the front, and Cheating
them together firmly. The two
parallel logs are then dragged over
the road at such an angle as to
throw the dirt to the center, thus
filling up all ruts and holes and
leaving firm, well.rounded surface
that will have ample drainage.
In speaking Of the results of the
road building carried on by the
Board of Trade, Mr.. I.arkin said:
1--WE went into a community some
distance from Denison which was
sending us not more than 10 per
cent of its cotton and organized
among the farmers a local good
roads club. We then proposed to
the club to put up 81 in cash for
every dollars worth of work the
farmers of the community would
subscribe. They subscribed 81 900
in work and we put up 81 900 in
cash, and the Commissioners Court
added another 81, 900. We hired
competent engineer 10 lay OFF the
road. build the bridges and put in
the culverts. We now have ten or
dozen miles OF as good a dirt
road as can be fonnd in the State.
As a result this year 90 per cent OF
the cotton of that community is
being marketed in Denison. In
addition, the farmers are now
marketing hay and other bulky
stuff that it formerly did not pay
TO haul to mark ct.

Most every body is doing well,

immigration to the county this
winter and next spring.
There are quite a lot OF substan-
tial improvements being put ON the
already improved places in the
county, such as additions to dwell
ling houses, sbarns, fences, etc.
Dimmitt continues to improve
slowly, but the loss of our court

ENGAGES DOCTOR;
TAKES MORPHINE
WOMAN THOUGHT TO HAVE
PLANNED SUICIDE
After Arranging for Services of Physi-
clan She ls Found In Uncons
seious Condition and
May Die

Mrs. Frances White, living at 337h
South Flower street, is believed to have
attempted to take her own life last
night at 10 O'Clock by taking q dose
of morphine. Although the husband
says he does not think she tried to kill
herself, the police surgeons, after an
examination, say the woman undoubt-
edly took poison with suicidal intent.
Mrs. Smith went to the Angelus drug
store at Third and Flower street yes
terday evening and asked DIR. S. w
Burt, in event her becoming ill dur
ing the evening, to call at the house.
Dr. Burt did not think this peculiar,
but later when he was called from the
Burbank theater he recognized the ad-
dress and suspected that the woman
had designs upon her life whom she
called upon him earlier i'm the evening.
When he reached the house he found
the woman unconscious and apparently
suffering from morphine poison. See
Ing she was in q critical condition he
summoned the police ambulance. AT
the central station Drs. c. w. and j.
Cook treated the woman, but it was
thought last night she could not re-
cover.
Mr.. White expresses the belief that
his wife was poisoned by eating canned
meats, and he rejects the theory of
suicide. He says he and his wife have
lived happily together, and he knows of
no reason why she should attempt to
end her life.
