TOLLESTON SCHOOL
IS HONORED

Tolleston. Ind. April 13.-Both teach
ers and students of the Tolleston high
school are proud body today and just
~ so, for superintendent F. A Malm-
stone has received a communication
from State Superintendent Robert ].
Alley that he has accredited the school
last Saturday. This gives the high
school desirable standing among the
high schools of the state, and enables
Its graduates to take the teachers ex-
amfnations after finishing a twelve
weeks course in a normal school This
is the principal advantage the school
derives from the promotion Under the
supervision of Superintendent F. A.
Malmstone the school has been doing
excellent work, and this induced Super

Dallas, Tex, May 15---Commercially and

because Dallas IS the center OF a trade

15.G00,000 acres Of land. population of
200, 900, 30 per cent Of the assessed valUa
ton Of the State. and s. per cent of the
total number OF business houses in Texas
The wholesale business Of Dallas for
October. 1905. was $50 010.ooo Dallas leads
the world as jobbing point for agricui-
turaI implements. saddlery. and harness.

Istion well over the 10000 mark, standing
fifth in the United States so far as build
ing activity is concerned. its percentage
Of increase being -S5s over the previous
year. At present there is great activity
in the line Of new buildings-two eight
story Office buildings in process Of con-
stTuction, one sixteen-story building Gust
being completed, one eight-story full
block department store Just started, two
interuTban roads being actively promoted,
and the records thus far for 1893 show
that fifty concerns started in business in
Dallas in January, sixty-nine in Febru-

Has Commission System.
Dallas is giving the world q lesson in

the most capable business administration
Of any city in the United States. and one
OF the best proofs Of the success Of the
commission form Of government. The
safeguard which investors have in know

removed from political graft is con-
siderable factor in the growth and uD-
building OF the city from a commercial
and industrial standpoint
The fact that the navigation Of the
Trinity River from Dallas 10 the Gulf is
practically now accomplished is also being
considered by investors in looking for
locations for large business.
IN regard to trade conditions during
1905. the situation is now entirely salts

throughout the year and the volume Of
sales were lessened, but the resulting
good effect is now being shown, and

the growers and the warehouse men.
Since that time hardly a day passes with

tention TO erect a warehouse. The farm
ers are planting a heavy acreage in

Austin, Tex, Breaks Up It's Old
Political System.
Adopts Commission Plan and Now
Starts on the Road 10
Prosperity.

Austin, Tex, May 15.-AbOUt one year
ago the business men Of Austin awoke 70
the fact that It was only by concerted
effort that anything OF real value 70 the
community could be accomplished. The
Business League al that time had a mem
bership of about 100, and out Of that
number you could not find a dozen ear
nest workers. An effort was made to
increase the number, with a view Of put
ting new life into the organization The
membership in three months was more
than doubled, and then We began to get
busy.
At the first meeting OF the revived or
gsnization 1t swas recognized that the
structure Of our city government was
based upon q wrong foundation, and We
eventually succeeded in getting our peo-
PIE to demand from our legislature a
new charter embracing the features Of a
commission form Our candidates were
elected by a to l vote of our citizens.
and the general feeling now Is that we
are on the road to prosperity
One OF our first acts was 10 take q vote
on a bond issue Of SS59.OO0. which was
carried. A bridge costing S20000O is now
IN course OF erection, and contracts have
been let to improve the county roads.
Austin raised last year the sum OF
S30.000 It's quota, toward an $4,000 en-
dowment fund for the building Of a 7. N.
c A in connection with the university.
Ground has Just been broken for the
