is the proper regulation of the rail-
roads / am on record so often and
so earnestly in favor of fair regula-
ton by the government, that 1t is
almost unnecessary for me TO repeat
what have SC frequently stated pub
licly. that the corporations of the
country should be so regulated as to
prevent discrimination or injustice to
the public. giving equal and fair
treatment to all. with favoritism to
none.
This country now needs what our
forefathers used in laying its founda-
tion.-a lot of old-fashioned common
sense. Good judgment and fair deal
ing are found more generally among
the farmers than in any other occu-
patton. and when they earnestly take
hold of public questions they will
occupy a place in our political struc-
ture that will make their good judg-
ment and fair conclusions felt more
and nor in solving the relations of
the government and its institutions.
Railroad construction has practic-
ally been abandoned. There is no
great construction under way, and no
encouragement for the near future
This is the one disappointing sign of
the country's future growth and pros
perity. New railroad construction is
just as essential for the great deva-
opnent that should take place in the
next 25 Years as it was in the last
a5 years.
II l were asked to am the most
effective way to check this country's
growth, l would say, stop railroad
construction for a few more years,
and our country will become a ma
ton of Industrial decadence.

BIG YIELD.

Z. G. Butler has shown what good
farming will do for the farmers and in
a manner that ought to make an inn
preston. Last spring he sowed a field
of SO acres, putting on one bushel and
20 quarts of seed--durum. He
measured off n acre Of this cut and
threshed it separately and it yielded IS
bushels and pounds by weight. The
average for the whole e~ighty-six acres
was just q little under 30 bushels per
acre.
This land had been we'll MANFRED.
and some of it had grown mangels the.
year before. Mr.. Butler keeps a lot
OF stock and has always put out q lot
of manure each year, which shows that
in order to secure the best results It is
necessary to keep stock and fertilize
the land. One crop in three years Of
IS bushels per acre is worth more to
the farmer than the average crop Of
fifteen to eighteen bushels per acre.
Another yield is reported from the
farm Of 8. Fletcher who lives near
Madison. Mr. Fletcher is also q stock
farmer and fertilizes his land. IA
harvested go acres this year that av.
eraged 40 bushels. -Griggs County

widow of the Great Cattle Man, has
spent a lot Of money here to build it
up. The hotel here is the finest out
side of Galveston anywhere in this
Gulf coast country and is supplied
with artesian water of the best quality.
This is a town with about the same
population as Hope and 1 counted
about twenty large residences going
up and three very large brick bust
ness blocks under construction. Any
thing in the shape Of produce is cer-
tainly high in price, eggs 30 to 40c a
doz., butter 30 to 40c. a pound and
poultry is very high and yet one car
hatch chickens every month through
the winter and they are perfectly
happy anywhere. I meet people here
from everywhere. l have met and

level met the most from Illinois of

buying land from Pennsylvania and
New York and every northern state.
The trains in this country are very
clean to ride on, they all burn oil. I
never saw as much oil in my life as I
have e in this South Texas country,
every division point on the road has
an immense oil tank that holds thou
sands of barrels of oil, the tenders
have no place to carry coal at all.

The Gulf Coast Country

K%ingsville, Tex, Dec. 90, ,OS.
To the Pioneer:
We left Alvin, Tex, for Calves
ton Dec. Oath. Between Alvin and
Galveston there is a vast open plain,
where nothing but cattle roam winter
and summer and which is as level al
most as a floor, only that it slopes
from about 40 it. down to sea level in
% miles. On arriving at Galveston
our party went direct to the fremont
Hotel and from there we took in the
city. First we went to the wharfs and
saw steamers from all parts of the
world loading and unloading cargoes.
I saw cotton enough to supply the
northern states with calico for the
next five years. We We're on board
one ocean liner, had a talk with the
captain and went all through the ship;
saw how they handled the cargo; box
es that weigh from 500 to 1000 pounds
r handled like toys with machinery.
We met a Superintendent of the Gal
weston Wharf Co. and he gave us the
best description of the tidal wave and
storm Of Sept. 8th 1900 that l ever
had. He told us there was between
eight and twelve thousand killed. He
said they counted 5000 bodies and they
found thousands after that. They
hauled those eight thousand out in
to the Gulf IN barges and sunk them,
and the others were buried in the sand
where eve they found them, so that
there is hundreds Of unmarked graves
under the City OF Galveston and build
ings built ove them. After the storm
they dug a canal half way around the
city about seven or eight hundred. feet
wide and about SO #. deep and used
the material to raise the low portion
of the city and now they are pumping
the sand out Of the bay and filling it
up again. Galveston has o number OF
beautiful homes and most of them are
surrounded with beautiful palms,
roses and Towering shrubs Of many
y
kinds. It was so warm I could hardly
stand it with q coat on. It makes me
think of you folks up there when I go
out here and 9 green vegetables and
flowers everywhere. We had fresh
strawberries for Christmas dinner and
| saw green corr growing yesterday
that had ear on it large enough tc
eat. We came from Galveston via.
Alvin to this town yesterday, which is
PSI miles, and it is a level plain near
ly all the way and one would think
there was u%noccupied land enough fol
half the people in the U. S.
You can see green vegetables grow
ing everywhere around the little towns

tween here and Galveston. The towr
