THE H|REMEN'S STRIKE
Is Not Expected to Spread to Texas.
Contracts With Roads Will
Probably Prevent.

Galveston, Texas, May 21-Galves-
ton railroad men do not believe that
the strike of the firemen on the
Georgia road is apt to extend to Tex
as and result in sympathetic move
upon the part of the firemen on the
Texas railroads.
Despite the dispatches from the
territory concerned in the strike to
the effect that firemen might be
called out all over the south unless
the differences on the Georgia road
are speedily adjusted, it is the con-
sensus of opinion of the railroad men
who would be concerned here that
Texas will scarcely be affected.
Aside from the belief that the strike
will be settled without the necessity
of extending it, it is pointed out that
the firemen have signed contracts
with the railroads employing them,
by which the employees agree not to
go on a sympathetic strike. 1t is be-
lieved this clause alone will preclude
the strike spreading to Texas, even
should it tend to do so otherwise.

a. Stoday is at the highest point in
the history of this city. No actual
damage has yet resulted from the
high water, but the river threatens to
cut through the fair grounds and the
city park and divide the irrigation
ditch. This would change the route
of the river through the valley and
would deprive many farmers of their
water supply, which would be a very
serious blow at this time. If the sit,
uation grows any worse gangs OF
men will be put to work raising the
banks of the irrigation ditch.

Miss Primings made her debut in
this market for the season 1909 TO-
on Friday of last week Some POO
mounds were sold at the Planters Ware
house and bought by Mr. Johnston at
$50 hundred 1t seems to be
agreed that good primings will bring
GOOD prices. but that the inferior
GRADES would sell low.
Messrs Johnston & Co. have ham

and most of it shipped. The factor.
