Referring to the Game Law in speech
at Lake Charles Friday, Hon. Amos l..
Ponder, attorney of the State Game Com
mission, gave the Legislature this nudge
in the ribs: eve didn't write the law.
The Legislature wrote it without enough
information at hand to know how" We
hope the Legislature at it's next session
will, at least, "know how" to repeal the
Objectionable law, with its highly expensive
and useless commissioners and attorney.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Houston Chronicle: To do something
is in every mans power.
Chattanooga Times: The chief end of
Democrats seems to be to swat one another,
which accounts for the tremendous pros
perity and success the party has met with
ever since Mr.. Bryan started the enterprise
in 1896. The correct rule, according to the
Nebraskan, appears to be: "When in
doubt, swat Democrat.
Houston Post: AS much as the people
of Texas admire Mr.. Bryan, they are not
prepared to be led by him into the undem-
ocratic pathway he has blazed. They
will respect him, but they will not follow
him. He has simply counted without his
hosts and though he may produce bitterness
and arrangements in Texas and through
out the South and destroy any chances the
party may have for an early triumph, he
will find the South still democratic and
cautious of the fads and follies which have
been bruited so frequently in the party
during the period of Mr.. Bryan's leader

HILL AFTER TEXAS COTTON.
| Staple VIII Be an Important Part of
| Colorado and Southern Tonnage

New York, January 26.-James j.
Hill, chairman of the Great North
ern railroad board, arrived here yes
terday from Ct. Paul in a more cheer
full frame of mind regarding the
business outlook than he has dis
played for several months.
"'rhe general business situation
looks healthy" said Mr.. Hill. There
is plenty of money in the country,
and no menace is in sight. In certain
lines of business there appears to be
a decided increase, such as in the
branch of building operations.
Farmers in the west are well off
and extending their enterprises, and
in the western cities there is an in
crease in new construction. So far
as concerns the railroad companies,
however, the building of new lines is
proceeding very slowly
When asked concerning the pur-
chase of the Colorado and Southern
railway by the Burlington system,
Mr.. Hill said: Il hope that the Bur-
lington will get more advantage from
it's acquisition of the Colorado and
Southern than a line of through
traffic from Seattle to Galveston.
The real purpose Of the purchase
of the new line was to reach the
coal and ore mining territory of Col
orado and get new business from the
cotton fields of Texas. 1t was also to
obtain such cotton business as may
go TO the Orient.
THE cotton trade of Texas is
yearly assuming more Importance
and the mining interests of Colora-
do are of value to the railroads that
penetrate that territory. In Trinidad
there is at hand the finest coklns
coal bed that one can find west or
Pittsburg.'
Mr.. Hill refused to commit him
self on the plan the Burlington
road intends to adopt to finance its
new purchase. He said that trafi1c
was moving very freely on the lines
of the Great Northern road and that
operating expenses were much lower
than those that prevailed year
ago.

lily as on a level surface First, the
driveway was narrowed to thirty
feet, curbed, guttered and boulevard
ed. Then it was eXcavated to the
depth of six inches and surfaced
FiXe inches of dry crushed limestone
one and one-half to two inches in
diameter was put on and rolled down
with ten-ton roller. Boiling tar
from the local gas works was applied
until the entire surface was covered.
Then a layer of broken stone an inch
to an inch and quarter in diameter
mixed with coarse gravel, was APP
piled on the surface in the proper
ton OF three parts of stone to one of
gravel. This was first mixed dry on
platform and then thoroughly
mixed with hot tar and applied on
the surface two inches thick and
tamped into place to conform with
the surface of the street
Dry domestic cement was then ap-
piled to the surface and the street
was again rolled. Then a coating of
sand was applied and the roller
again used. The pavement was al
lowed to stand for two weeks before
the street was thrown open to travel

been had the entire cost been assess
ed against them. The street has a
practically waterproof pavement six

the elements to attack the surface.
The pavement has now stood two
winters and shows not the slightest
wear, 1t gives off no dust in sum-
mer, although it is not sprinkled.-

NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
Katy viii Put on Two New Fast
Trains Between st. Louis and
TpyaS

Official announcement has been
made that the Katy is to inaugurate
an additional train service between
st. Louis and Texas points on or
about the first of July. Two new fast
trains are to be operated between
San Antonio and st. Louis.
The management is now in the
market for the new equipment,
which will include six big engines
and six complete trains. This extra
equipment it is claimed, is the least
the company should buy and main
tain the two extra trains.
w. G. Crush, general passenger
and ticket agent of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, has returned to
Dallas from st. Louis, where he has
been in conference with high officials
regarding the new train service.
1T will require some time to OBJ
tain the extra equipment said Mr..
Crush yesterday, and it will not be
delivered to the company in time for
actual use before the early part of
the summer 1t has been decided that
the trains must~be up to date, from
the pilot of the engine to the rear
couplings of the last sleeper
The new trains will run a few
minutes ahead of the schedules of
trains 204 and 203. The northbound
will pass through Waxahachie about
GAS D. m. and will arrive in Dallas
at y. m The southbound will be
due in Waxahachie between and
Q a. m.
While not given as official yet it
may be stated as a practical GER
tainty that some changes in the train
service on the Houston and Texas
service on the H. & t. G.
are to be made simultaneously
with the employment of train audi
tors on that road about February /,
or just as soon thereafter as men
can be secured for this work. It Is not
known just what changes will be
made on the main line further than
that a fast train will be operated be-
tween Houston and Denison. 1t is
said that a new through. train is to
be installed on the Fort Worth
branch. According to information
that has leaked out the train now be-
ing operated between Waxahachie
and Garrett will be extended from
Ennis to Fort Worth and will be OPP
Grated as "a midday train. The west
bound train will probably pass Wax
ahachie about 1890 a. m. and return
at p. m A midday train was OPP
Grated on this division few years
ago and Is said TO have proven one
of the best laying trains on the road.
