NO IRRIGATION BILL.
Opinion of Valley Man That Measure
Will Not Pass.

San Antonio. Texas, March 30
That the committee substitute for the
CLANCY irrigation bill, introduced in
the senate last Thursday. will meet
with the same defeat melted out for
the original measure had it been al
lowed to run its course through the
legislature is the confident opinion of
S. A. Robertson. one of the largest
canal owners and railroad builders of
the Lower Rio Grande Country. Mr..
Robertson passed through the city
Sunday on his way home from Austin
where he has spent the last four or
five days representing the canal men
of his section who are opposing the
bill.
''The CLANCY bill has been slain
and the punishment was justly mer-
tied, said he IF the measure had
become a law, as was at one time
promised, it would have resulted in
tie-up in canal extension work in
our section and would seriously have
impeded the progress of this, the
fairest. garden spot of the state. The
substitute is sure of defeat, and it
looks now as though the builders of
the Rio Grande Valley would be let
alone The news will cause extreme
qualification in our parts
Mr. Robertson spent yesterday at
the Nenger Hotel, leaving last night
for home.

SENSITIVE PRoPLE.

Sensitive people seem to enjoy
sensitiveness. They are always on

them pain. They are much like a
cat would be with a tail forty feet
long. dragging around on the floor
ready to be tramped upon. We are
crowded pretty thick upon life's
great tnoroughfare. and can't well
help elbowing each other as We pass
along. Ninety-nine times out OF
every hundred no harml Is intended.
but those sensitive people. who have
the longest and sharpest elbows Of
anybody, are always attributing a
motive to every accidental jog they
get. Fact is. personal importance
is at the bottom OF this Who'll. thing.
The world is not thinking abou, you
has no desire to hurt you-but
you imagine that the whole world
should be run in your interest.

Towboats Burn at Cairo.

The towboats Beaver and George
Gardner, belonging to the Barrett
Towboat Comany of Cincinnati,
burned Wednesday night at the land
ing at Cairo, and are probably a tot
al loss. A fuel barge of coal was
also burned.
The Beaver was getting ready to
go out and her crew was aboard.
They all succeeded in getting off,
although one deckhand, who was
sleeping directly over where the fire
broke out on the Beaver, was miss
ing. The burning boats we're cut
adrift and floated down the river.
The Beaver was valued at $40, 900
and the Gardner at 81 900. The
Beaver was built in Cincinnati in
1886, and was ITO feet long 500
feet beam, with a tonnage of 3l4
tons. The Gardner was built at
Point Pleasant, w. Va, in 1908,
and was 100 feet long and % beam,
with tonnage of u. Both boats
we're partially covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The Beaver worked at Hickman
awhile last year.

MEANDERINC.

A city girl writes: ats a fond
dream of mine to become a farmers
wife, and meander with him down
life's flowery pathway" All. yes,
that is a nice thing to dream about,
but when you have lived on the farm
and followed'this meandering bust
ness for month or so, you will dis
cover a wide chasm between the
dream and the reality. You'll think
of this about the time your husband
meanders off and leaves you without
wood. and you have to meander up
and down the lane pulling splinters
off the fence with which 10 cook
dinner. And when you meander
around in the wet clover in search
of the cows you will have a dim pre-
ception that fond dreams do not al
ways pan out a hundred cents on
the dollar, and that there are sever
al meanderings in farm life that are
not listed in the dreaming category.
The meandering business on the
farm is not what ii is cracked up to
be.

A SENSELEss HABIT.

The young lady that habitually
uses slang in her conversation can
not have very exalted opinion of
herself. The estimate placed upon
her by those who hear her use Il is
certainly not high one. II sounds
coarse and vulgar when used by a
man. but when used by woman its
tone is degrading and repulsive.
How often one hears a young lady
speak Of children as "kids." That
word comes from the slang Of Eng
lish thieves. Not exactly a proper
word for a lady's use, is it1
"Mash" is another word in common
use, young ladies of both high and
low degree. The word originated
in the immoral relation sustained by
thief and his mistress. 1t is es-
sentially foul. and when issuing from
the lips of innocence and purity
gives a startling shock. Evenl
thieves, toughs and disreputables, of
either SIX, who know the whole
vocabulary of slang. seldom. If ever.
use a single word Of il in the pres
ence Of honest people. Slang, in
English. has but two sources
thieves and showmen; and any
young person who initiates those
classes. either in conduct or con-
versation, is plentifully endowed
with a lack sense.

Mr.. Teller was engaged in conversation
at the time the Vice President called his
name, and It was rot until several min
utes later that Senator CuIlom leaned
over and informed him.
Among the Senators who have been
taken care Of are James Hemenway, who
has been authorized to continue his inves-
tigation Of the Secret Service. This task
will probably consume several years, and
Mr.. Hemenway viii receive an annual
compensation Of $3.50.
Senator Fulton, who was succeeded By
Gov Chamberlain, OF Oregon, IS slated
for a district judgeship in his home State.
This appointment viii probably not be
made until the next regular session.
While Il is not anticipated, It IS pos
sible that Senators Kittredge. Hans

ways Commission or Fisheries Board.
Col Pete" Hepburn, OF Iowa, one OF

Commission. Il is rumOred.
Although various rumors have been cir
culated that Representative Bourke
Cochran was TO be taken care OF by the
new administration BY receiving an ap-
pointment TO a foreign post, Il has not
yet been affirmed
Among the other members OF the House
