able showing could haze been beaten.
The old saying that man plants
pecans to make money for his grand
children is very big piece of error
when one gets down to the real facts
and possibilities of pee an culture. The
pecan bears with reference to the
age of the tree from which the bud
was taken rather than the tree on
which it is budded. For instance, if
the bud is from a tree already old
enough to bear the naw tree will not
be very long yielding pecans. This
is the statement of practical nursery
men, Pecan culture holds out great
possibilities for vigorous, intelligent
effort. They have the world for a
market with constantly increasing
uses to which this most delicious COM
modify may be placed.-Cuero Star.

since the railroad and the citizens
were at dagger points over a legal
fight as to whether or not these Of
fices should be retained in Tyler.
The offices were moved away, and
after a hard legal fight Tyler made
them move back. Then began legal
proceedings that carried the case up
to and through the United States
court of appeals. Tyler won the de-
cision in every court. Thus convinced
they could not move, they are build
ing to stay. For years now the road
has had inadequate quarters, and the
general office forces have been dis
tributed over the town pretty much
as is the case in Palestine.
There is no doubt but that the set
tlement of the case worked to the
advantage of the road, and certainly
to the advantage of the town. Tyler,
like Palestine, has been cheated out
of many years growth through the
ever insistent rumor that the general
offices would be moved. Now, this
is no longer bug-bear, and this me-
mace to future growth is silenced for
ever AS a result Tyler has made
greater progress the past few years
than ever before
If this same proposition was set
tied, and settled for gdod for Pales-
tine, much healthier state of affairs
would exist For years many people
have not ventured an improvements for
fear the shops or general offices
would move; not even "a hen coop
would they build, for fear they would
lose on the investment through the
thing long feared actually happening
the moving of the general offices
or the shops. The fear has actually
done more harm in the years past
than the actual occurrence would have
done. Fact
Another thing, and fact Palestine
people generally do not know: The
Cotton Belt has recently built and
equipped new shops in Tyler that
eclipse anything in that line in Pales
tine, and today, perhaps, is employing
more people than are employed in
Palestine
If, in the approaching sale, or other
settlement of the International and
Great Northern receivership, it could !
be fixed so that this old semi-annual
scare would be buried so deep it |
would never again show its head, Pal
estine would leap into prominence as
the leading city of all this section of |
Texas Without its settlement men |
of means will continue to show timid |
ity, and growth will continue slow.

Team Standing:


1t was an eager throng of workers
which met last night at Y. NJ. c. A
campaign headquarters, for those who
had been in the battle had hoped the
tide had turned and that victory
somehow would be won. Though it
was the fourth day of the canvas still
larger number of gifts were report
ed than on any day.
The ladies deserve much credit for
the splendid way they have provided
the lunches, making it possible to
have a rally each day.
General Chairman John NJ. King,
who had been absent from the city,
returned and presided, and after the
captains had reported he arose to say
that on Monday he had a conference
with Judge Freeman in Houston and
asked him if he had been requested
to make a gift (this had been done
by letter from DR.. Silliman.) He
replied in the affirmative. Mr.. Free
man then spoke of the association as
splendid organization, saying that
he considered it one of the chief as
sets of the road Judge King says Mr..
Freeman was very complimentary and
expressed the hope that many of the
railroad men would use the privi
leges Yesterday Judge King called
Mr.. Freeman on the phone, with the
result that he was instructed to an
nounce gift of $5OO00 from the rail
road company. When this was made
known the workers cheered Justify,
for they felt that with hard work to-
day they would get the full amount
of $350000, as about 100000 will
complete the fund, the. workers hav-
ing secured $4,000 on Tuesday. To-
day Everyone at it" is the slogan.
The closing rally and luncheon will
be held tonight at o'clock, instead
of o'clock, and every team worker
is urged to be on hand ION with
the battle" until the last dollar is
secured.
Captain Maury still leads, with
Captain Silliman in second place.
Captain Hutchinson made splendid
squirt, securing $1O5OO yesterday.
Who will lead tonight?

Official recognition and praise of
the services performed by the sold
iers OF Company e, Twenty-f1fth in.

in and around Avery, Ida.,, has been
given by the United States forestry
department. The following letter has
been sent to Maj. Francis J. Herman,
Twenty.fifth infantry, at Fort George

II take great pleasure in reporting
ito you the most excellent and gallant
service performed by Company G,
Twenty-tifth infantry, from your post.
Special mention Is made OF service
and hearty cooperation with the for
estry department by Second Lieut.. E..
T.. Lewis. The work as a whole was
most valuable, and, viewing the con
ditions that existed at Avery during
the holocaust, in retrospect, it IS
unanimously agreed that the work of
Company G was indispensable. Be
yond a doubt lives of our citizens and
personal property would have been
lost to vandalism were it not for the
protective power OF the soldiers.
One instance of the fire that stands
out most prominent was at the time
the women and children were loaded
on special train at Avery, in order
to escape the impending disaster
Sergt. John James and Privates Ches
ter Garraud, William Hogue, Roy

stationed on the train to preserve
order and protect the women and
children to a place of safety. A
gauntlet of fire was run by this train.

HARTFORD WOMAN IS
SERIOUSLY 81 BURNED
SMALL Bovs' RLAvINe WITH
MATCHES START BAD BLAZE
IN BARN.
Mrs. Ben eteer Tries to Rescue the
Horses and is Pinned Between Two
Of the Animals and Fatally Injured.

Mrs. Ben Greer of Hartford, N. D.,
was brought to the st. Alexus hosp-
tai Tuesday morning suffering from
number of possibly fatal burns
which she sustained Monday. Mr..
Greer and her brother, Evan Noiss,
accompanied her.
1t seems that Monday morning Mr..
Greer was obliged to 60 to Linton to
attend to business matters. About
1880 a. m. Mrs. Jarvis called at the
Greer house to take a music lesson
from Mrs. Greer. While the ladies
were thus occupied the little Jarvis
boy and Mrs. Greer's young son went
out to the barn to play. They have
since stated that theys had some
matches and were scratching them on
one of the posts in the barn to hear
them snap. It was only a few mo-
ments before they succeeded in set.
ting the barn on fire, and they then
became frightened and ran away.
Mrs. Greer happened to look out
of the window and saw the flames
leaping from the barn. She remem.
bered that all of the stock was con.
fined in the stable and ran out to
cut loose the horses and CATTLE in or
der that she might at least save them.
She succeeded in gaining the interior
of the barn and ran in between two
of the horses to set them free. The
animals were very much excited, how
ever and squeezed her between them,
holding her prisoner. The heat was
intense and the flames began leaping
oil ohnnt hon Che
and does not know how she got out
Of the burning stable. although she
has a faint recollection that one of
the horses kicked her and hurled her
out Of danger.
Mrs. Jarvis had FASTENED after her
friend and found her lying outsi Idle the
stable door frightfully burned and
with the clothing on the upper part
of her body burned away. She picked
her up and carried her into the house
and did her best to dress the wounds.
Mrs. Greer's brother was sent for
from his place adjoining and hastily
drove across the river and summoned
a physician. When Mr.. Greer return
ed home he summoned DR.. Woverton
of Linton, who also came to the house
and attempted to ease the pain of the
sufferer. In the evening it was seen
that it would be necessary to convey
her to hospital and she was taken
to Hazelton and brought to Bismarck
on the Linton train Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Greer is seriously burned about
the head and face and the upper part
of her body. Her arms are es pecially
badly burned and the: flesh on her
breast was nearly cooked. She has
been made as comfortable, as possible

The barn was a total 1dss, together
with all Of it's contents, which includ-
ed three horses and a number of cat
