would demand. There is not
shadow of doubt but that this
may be accomplished if the I'm
ion shall go after it in a de-
termined, methodical and intel
ligent manner. But has the
method adopted so far been the
best? Can the Union as
whole expect a small committee
sent to the legislature to know
all or even a small part of the
Legislation needed? Can it be
expected that the Union as a
whole will agree in all respects
with the ideas Of such commit
tee as to needed legislation? In
fact, will it not be a rare case
when such a committee can it.
self be unanimous in opinion as
to what legislation may be
needed? If it be thought best
to have such a committee, is it
not therefore plain that to ach-
ieve best results and to insure
active Endorsement, such com
mittee should go instructed?
However, in the absence of thor
ough discussion among the mem
bers as to what is needed, how
can it be expected that the com
mittee can be wisely instructed?
The question, then is What
would be the best method to
pursue? The Union could per-
haps wisely amend its constitu-
ton so as to provide for an adj
visory council, of say one men,
Der from each senatorial dis
trict, as representative body
to meet at stated times to dis
cuss this and other important
questions. AS no such council
exists, it would be no strain of
authority if the president, join
ed by the executive committee,
should call such a council, ask
ing the county Unions in each
district to elect a member and
provide for his expenses. The
next legislature is less than
three months removed and it
seems to Texas Farmer that
something should be done in
advance of that meeting. A
special committee might be APP
pointed in advance of the gen
eral conference to thoroughly
examine the statutes as to what
laws should be amended or re
|pealed, and as to what new laws
the interests of the people de-
mand.

The Texas Building at
At Seattle
Texas Is Agitating the Question
That Might Be Well Ans
wered, Yes.

Chairman F. H. Gohlke of
Wichita Falls, in behalf of the
Alaska-Yukon Pacific EXPOSE
ton committee, reported that
interviews with several leading
railroad officials resulted in en-
enlargement and individual in
dorsement of a Texas building
at Seattle next year, in which
a comprehensive exhibit of Tex
as products and resources would
be maintained. He added that
to insure the raising Of the ne
cessary money the General Man
ayers Association Of Texas
should be urged to guarantee a
portion of the needed sum of
$4,000, on condition that the
Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association raise the balance
and present feasible working
detailed plans. Chairman Gohl-
Ike was authorized to request the
General Managers Association
to subscribe half of the required
amount along the plan outlined.
1t is believed that the railroads
are interested to the extent of
cooperating with his important
movement, inasmuch as this ex-
position presents a feature of
placing Texas opportunities be-
fore many thousands of actual
homeseekers attracted to the
Northwest as a result of the eX-
tensive advertising of that coun-
try over the Middle West. Dol
lar subscriptions will be made
all over the State to secure the
financial aid required.

Shafter Lake to the executive
committee the meeting adjour-
ned to meet at the call of the

Stock Sense.

Some cautions are much more
valuable at some times than at
others. The warning to keep
stock pens clean during the
summer months is especially APP
propriate, becauseIthey are SO
much more liable to disease.
Knives should be sharp. 1t
matters not what service there
is to perform, a dull knife is
an aggravation. 1t takes only
few minutes to sharpen them
and then they do good work and
are a pleasure.

PRODUCTION OF GOLD AND
SILVER IN CALIFORNIA
IN 1907.

A statement by Charles G..
Yale shows the production, by
counties, of gold and silver in
California in 1907, as ereported
from the mines to the United
States Geological survey. This
has been prepared to meet a
repeated demand and is pre-
sented in advance of the annual
report on California, forming a
portion of the gold and silver
section Of Mineral Resources
of the United States Calendar
Year 1907" now in course of
publication by the geological
survey. Compared with the mine
production of 1906, these figures
show a decrease of fS2,004,524
in value of gold and $66,182 in
value of silver, a total falling off
in value of the precious metal
output of $2,070,708. The av-
erage commercial value of silver
in New York per fine ounce in
1906 was CT cents, and in 1907
was &c cents. The standard
value of gold is $20,671, S34,625,
1923 per fine ounce. The totals
are as follows: Gold, fine oun-
ces, 809,213.52; value, $16,727,-
928. Silver, fine ounces, -,138,-

BETTER THAN MAMMA
TONY SURELY APPRECIATED
THAT MOUNTAIN DEW.
Gift of Liquor That Took the "Rough
Aidge" Off Spring Water Well
Repaid by His Witty
Observation.

No one had a legal right to sell
liquor in the big county this particular
piny woods district lay in, and the en-
forcement of the prohibition enact
ment was very strict. Tony sriz-
zled old negro who, with his bull and
his cart did chores about the Inn
and elsewhere, had always merry
twinkle in his eye, and he had wit and
humor, A guest at the inn met Tony
in one of the woods roads one day,
and referred to the remarkable salu-
brity of the piny woods country, and
particularly to the exceeding drynesS
of the air and absence Of all unwhole-
some moisture in the soil.
Yes, sub he replied. Il nevuh did
heah. see, or know o but one ting dat
been so pow'ful dry, sub.
Indeed" said the guest And what
was that Tony?"
Me, subj" said Tony, his white
teeth shining from the grin that spread
over his face and met the twinkle in
his eye.
Why that is strange, Tony said
the guest. affecting not to notice the
hint in a land so full of springs as
the pine hills of North Carolina seem
TO be-"
Oats des' it, sun" said Tony Duh

Tony evidently knew that if the
guest had any such thing about him
which was more than likely, the
chances were that il coald not be kept
under cover from that twinkle and
Chat grin Of his; and it wasn't, there
being one of those springs handy. The
"aidge" on its water must have been
particularly rough, for the taking of il
off by Tony almost emptied the guest $
flask. The old negro smacked his lips
as he handed it back. and said:
