FROM GALVESTON.
interesting Bits of Information Con-
corning Industrious Galveston.

In a personal letter from J. S.
Mullen, a former Richardson county
boy, who is now located in Calves
ton. the following interesting infor-
nation of that great city was con
yeyed:
80 . . > Galveston had a little
storm in July but it did no great dam
age outside of the fishing piers, and
bath houses, which were on the out
side of the sea wall These buildings
were entirely destroyed. but are be-
ing rebuilt on a larger and grander
scale than ever.
W. have now under construction
what is termed the "Causway,'
which will be about 800 feet wide
and about eighteen feet above the
sea level, connecting the island with
the main land, which means a bridge
over three miles long. This struct-
ure is the third big undertaking since
our storm in 1900, First the sea wall
which was an expense of 50, 1000, 900;
second, the raising of the city on
a level with the sea wall to within
a few blocks of the business houses,
being a gradual slope from the sea
wall down-cost two million.
The Causeway, which was started
less than thirty days ago. shows
signs of activity. This Causway is to
be built in two years, requiring an
army of men working day and night.
This structure will be lighted by
electricity by night, which enables
them In losing no time in completing
same. This undertaking will cost
about another two million dollars
and BY the time it is completed we
will have the electric ear line com
pleted between Galveston and Hous-
ton, which Is a distance of fifty miles.
By this you may know we are not
going backwards ON account of the
storm In 1905 = = ~"

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles Of The men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; II not near the store buy the
large size family package. 2

Those republicans who voted
against Judge White four years ago
on account of the third term issue,
which they declared they could new
err and would never endorse, can
now apply their objections to Judge
Gagnon. He is not only a fifth term
er but didn't want the office. He
didn't even file until after James
was allowed to file and was given
to understand that Gagnon would
"stay Off" But the bosses and
their machine were afraid of James,
so they forced Gagnon on the ticket.
