A PLEASANT DRIVE.

In company with County Judge A
G.. Board and some other gentlemen
representative OF the Eagle went
out yesterday afternoon to inspect the
work that Mr.. Shelburne and his force
OF road workers are doing.
The party first drove over the new
road recently opened from the eastern
part of the city to intersect the Steep
Hollow road at point abouthall a
mile beyond Villa Maria Academy
This road when comples.d will cut OF
at least half a mile of the distance

from that direction. Enough work has
already been done to make IL fairly
good driving and there is considerable
travel ov it. There is yet a sharp
bend near the end next TO town, which
is to be cut out and the distance still
further shortened. When this is done

grading finished IL will be a beautiful
road.

ses.
The Eagle man knew there was
some road work going on out there
but was surprised at the progress that
has been made and at the excellent
character of the work. II was worth
the drive to see the splendid mule
teams, sleek and well groomed. II
would be hard to find anywhere five
span of better mules.
After returning to town the party
drove out three miles on the Pitts
Ferry road, which used to be about
TIE worst thoroughfare In the coun
. t., but was ditched and graded sew
eral years ago. 1t is now as firm and
ory as a dirt road can be made. Wher
all the thoroughfares are put in like
condition there will be no just
ground for complaint, and this will
be done as soon as practicable. But
il takes work oil man and beast to
build roads and work costs money
ST. does feed. II is the intention of the
county administration to press the
work as fast as the means at their
command will permit
The Eagle is glad to assure its
readers that the work being done is
well done and will endure, with oc-
casional repairs, for all time to come.

PLANS FOR A. & M. COLLEGE.
Directors viii Provide Monster Poo
for Water sports-6uildinss
(Go Up.

College, Station Texas, July S.-Di
rectors Green, Nclnnes. Miner and
Peteet in counsel with President Har
rington decided today to provide a
huge pool for water sports at the A
and NJ. College. They will throw a
dam across a ravine that runs past
the college. distant a half mile, and
viii impound water enough to make
pool half a mile long. straight away
so to 100 feet wide and from 10 TO 20
feet deep. They ordered a survey to
day and expect a report at the Au'
gust meeting OF the board in Corpus
Christi. II is their purpose to have
the pool ready for use late this year
They will stock 1t with fish and af
ford the college boys a new and heal
thy outlet for some of that surplus
physical energy that has heretofore
been worked of in melodramatic re
belion.
The A. and NJ. various buildings
look as IL they had been sowed broad
cast on the campus. They conform
to no general group plan. The direct
ors in session here today took up the
subject Of procuring such a group
plan, which can be followed in locat'
ing Of new buildings. Three new
buildings are nearly complete; these
are near the dormitory that is TO pro-
vide lodging for the students that
lived in tents last winter and many
more; the agricultural implement
building, where students will be
taught how to assemble and operate
labor saving farm machinery. and the
natatorium The natatorium will have
tub baths, no pool. and only 32 show
er baths. 1t will be expected to pro
vide bathing facilities for 600 or 700
boys. There are no baths in the
dormitory, not even in the costly new
building that the workmen are now
finishing.
The college has never had a gymna-
SUM. The legislators when asked to
appropriate money for one have said;
Let them hoe corn and cotton; that
will give them service enough" The
wise lawmakers forgot that boys have
so much play instinct, like all normal
young animals, and will satisfy il in
wholesome physical games or in less
healthful ways. The directors recog-
nize this need of the school and are
figuring on satisfying il somehow.
They have $4,000 with which to erect
a feed control building this fall and it
is likely that they will provide a gym
nasium in that building. Another new
structure that will go up this year is
an engineering building TO cost $780,
GOO.
The directors believe that the
clash between the student body and
President Harrington will not cause
any further trouble, They believe
that during the summer vacation par
ents of the boys that were in revolt
will convince them of the wisdom OF
dropping old issues and pulling to-
gether loyalty for the good of the
school.
Plans of the board contemplate q
constant and rapid growth in attend
ance. Texas ought to have and the
directors believe soon will have 2ooo
students here.-Houston Chronicle.
