too small. The new location is.
plenty large and convenient. Reg
lister Fairbanks and Receiver Weiss
were assisted in moving by Rang
ers Day and Hatton, who will have
their Office in the new room.
Two real estate deals of some

LOBBY NOT WANTED

Governor Shafroth Monday
morning announced that he would
not sign any appropriation bill for
any board, state institution, or de-
partment of the public service that
did not contain provision such
as this:
"None of the moneys herein ap-
propriated shall be used to pay
any officer, or member of any
board, or any other person for
lobbying for or against any appro-
priation."
why, it's an outrage, said the
governor. 81 find that for years
the practice has prevailed of pay
ing out the states fund for the
purpose of employing men to go
before the Legislature and urge the
needs Of institutions and endeavor
to secure appropriations for their
support.
Its like the people paying out
money to get more money out of
the people, and l am going to put
a stop to it.
Every institution has its report
before the Legislature and the idea
Of mourning additional expense to
the taxpayers by employing men
to come TO Denver when the legis-
lature is in session as lobbyists for
these institutions is wrong. 1t is
preposterous.
IL make this statement ut this
time for the purpose Of warning
those who are working as lobbyists
for institutions and boards that
they needn't spend any more time
with the idea that they are going
to be paid out Of state funds"

The drouth is having a telling eff
feet upon the railroads in this por-
ton of the state and unless the situ-
alton il lmnediotaly relieved by

For the past three or four months
water for engines at this point has
been obtained from the creek and
nov this supply is about exhausted.
An effort is being made to relieve
the situation by sinking deep hole
in the bed of the creek In the mean
time the management is negotiating
for a large number of oil cars to be
used in hauling water from the
BraZos river to those towns along
the line which are in the dry belt.
These places will include Hillsboro,
Waxahachie Lancaster and Rock

ton of the water trains will be COM
menced within the next few days.

possible to pump water enough from
the well to supply all the engines
that have heretofore been taking
water here, A freight train was tied
up here eight hours Tuesday be-
cause of lack of water. Wednesday
another train was caught here for
several hours on account of dry
tank. 1t is said the road is now fac
ing the problem of hauling Water not
