About Grand Old Texas.

The area or Texas is so vast, be-
ing 265, $50 square miles, or more
than six times as great as Ken
lucky, and thirty-two times as
large as Massachusetts; its soil,
climate and productions are so
varied that, with prosperity prevail
ing throughout its borders, it is
difficult to estimate to what degree
of preponderance it may grow as
compared with the smaller or less
favored states. It is but a few
weeks since it was shown that
Galveston, which six years ago
was apparently ruined beyond re-
suscitation by an equinoctial storm
stood second to New York in for
eign exports during the past fiscal
year. 1t is less than a decade
since oil gushers were found in
the state, and now it stands third
in point of production. Among
the new enterprises projected is a
pipe line to extend northward
from the oil fields near Houston,
400 miles into Oklahoma. In the
extreme western part of the state,
which embraces FL Paso, it has
been found that a large area of
territory heretofore regarded as of
little value, abounded in copper,
and mines and reduction plants
are now yielding the most satisfac-
tory returns. Silver and other
valuable minerals have also been
discovered, and capital is being
directed toward their development.
In the matter of cattle-raising
Texas has long been in the fore
front, and movements are on foot
looking to packing and exporting
beef, instead of being subject to
the control of prices for its cattle
on the hoof by the northern trust.
In varied agriculture, there is no
state comparable to it. The lands
near the gulf are adaptable for
sugar and rice, while further north
the cereals thrive as well as in
many of the western and northern
states, settlers from which are
pouring into the state. As they
move westward over what was
once thought to be sterile plains,
corn, cotton and all the standard
products of agriculture and horti-

er states once classified as desert
lands. In addition to this great
development of the natural re-
sources of the state, it may be add
ed that Texas now stands first in

SOUTHWEST LANDS.


The time to secure cheap lands
is now. Some classes of stock
farming may De carried on, and
will be carried on. with lands
selling at $500 and $500 per acre.
Some lines of garden and orchard
work will justify an investment OF
$500 or even $1,000 per acre, but
these things are not for the great
masses of soil tillers. Speciali-
cation o crops and stock grown on
high priced lands will alone justify
The payment of such high prices.
We have a class of farmers in some
counties or parishes of the South
west who can not abide S. land.
When land reaches such outrage
eusly high figures the farmers of
this class and clan gather families
aud their herds about them and
move to new pastures where
cheaper land can be had Their
system of farming could not live
on IS land. We have other farmers
whom we might class as $40
farmers. These are ready to
swear that no sort of farm land
Is worth mor'n $40 acre fer jist
corn and cotton. These, too,
know it from experience. But
they can afford to pay So an acre
rent while camping out in some
landlords poor cabin, living with
out home comforts and working
the child who needs education.
In some sections farm lands are
cheap at SIS per acre. These
lands have never been skinned
and the hides hung up to dry"
Crop and stock production are
both on a high plane. Success is
not accidental. A profit is made
every year. The farm laborers do
not work mole than eight hours
day, but they think twice while
the S. farmer is changing his mind
by Kidding his mouth of tobacco
Juice. Farmers working on SIS
land have more money in the bank
than do the men who skin" S.
land and think they are farming.
AS our farmers read more about
their own calling, think more
about the new wrinkles" in the
improved methods of farming, these
cheap lands rise in price, because
fheir values have been increased.
The S5-acre plus brains becomes
IN a few years a S1O-acre; the $40
land with a wide awake thinking
farmer on it becomes $40 land,
and its owner is not merely
laDorer, or a farmer, but he be-
comes an investor. The farmers
and the townspeople of the south
west have the richest opportunity
ever offered a people for invest
investing money and brains
in cheap lands.

REVIEWED
The CITY'S
HISTORY

Thirty Minutes in Old Providence" was
the subject OF an interesting address by
James NJ Scott before the Rhode Island
Business Mems association last night.
The speaker commenced with the landing
OF Roger Williams in these plantations
and gave very interesting running ac-
count OF the characteristics and growth
OF Providence In the colonial days.
Mr., Scott gave the dates OF many i'm
and state. as well as the topography OF
early Providence. he said there was
really no authentic means OF knowing the
land OF Roger Williams nativity. but he
was inclined TO think there was little
doubt about his being welchman.
lie said the first court house in Provi-
dence was erected in 1852 and the first
theatre was erected in the same year. He
told OF the bridge on Market square being
several times rebuilt and carried away
by freshets and storms. The first bridge
was about y feet wide he said, but each
time It was carried away and had TO be
replaced It's width was increased. until at
last IL was made its present size. The
bridge in each instance was constructed
with funds raised by the sale OF lottery
tickets.
The population of Providence in 17cs the
speaker said, was 400. In l7e4 Brown uni
versity was founded. and six years later
was transferred from Warred TO Provi-
dence. In 1885 Westminster street was
but short street. extending about to
where Empire street now is. and had but
one house upon 1T. There was no liquor
store In the town az that time
In 1867 the duty on tea was imposed by
the mother country, and at a general town
meeting IL was agreed that no one in town
should buy or use the tea or other ar
ticles on which the duty was imposed.
The first stage line to Boston was also
established IN this year. In 177f the popu-
lation had grown to 1900. in 65 families
IL was In that year that the people of
the town adopted a resolution favoring
the establishing OF a congress 10 renounce
all allegiance to Great Britain. being the
first town or colony to take such action.
Gen. Washington visited Providence in
l7sl and was entertained by Jabez Brown.
The General Washington. In command of
Capt. -eonaldson, was the first ship TO
sail from Providence for Canton, China
She left this port in 1871 In that year
Providence had 10 vessels, with a ton
mage OF 1880
AhN Sptah*ef save large NunDer or
other dates and events which have fig
ured prominently In the history OF this
city and state. and after the meeting ex-
hibited number OF interesting as well
as valuable souvenirs OF a century ago
Among these was one OF the lottery tic
kets sold for the purpose OF raising funds
with which TO build the great bridge and
number of old time checks. drafts and
bank notes. These were passed around
the room for the inspection OF those pres.
ent and created great deal Of interest
After the address unanimous vote on
thanks was extended to Mr. Scott

BAD ICE IN BRATTLEBORO
Supply I, Being Taken From Contaminated
Pond.

A report was received from the state
laboratory OF hygiene yesterday by
DR. Henry Tucker, health officer, on the
chemical analysis OF sample OF water
taken from the Frost meadow pond
which Is the source OF a large part OF
the ice consumed by the inhabitants OF
the village.
Thereport shows the presence OF free
and albuminoid ammonia, chlorine
and nitrites, which indicated decom-
posing animal matter, and character
ICES the water as contaminated. DIR
c S Caverly, president OF the state
board OF health, was in Brattleboro
yesterday and when shown the report
he said the water was very bad. DIR
Tucker notified the owners OF the pond
at once.
He says it is not safe for people to
use water for domestic purposes into
which this ice has been put and advis-
es all people to use the ice simply for
cooling without letting it come In con-
tact with the water. The supply of ice
is so short this year that whatever
there is on hand will be needed, but by
exercising care it may be used with
safety.
