A COWBOY FACTORY.
Shrewd SwindIing Scheme Planned
by Young Man In San Antonio.

Especial to The Bryan Eagle.]
San Antonio, Texas, Dec. Gov
eminent officers, at the instance of the
postoffice inspectors, have broken up
the San Antonio cowboy factory,
which for the past two weeks has been
doing a land-office business all over
the United States. For two dollars,
according to the advertisement of the
factory" real cowboys would be made
and placed on the great Rincon
ranch" The receipts of the factory
from aspirants for the whirling lariat
and the life on the range. according
to the United States marshal's office,
reached several hundred dollars day.
The factory" comprised one man,
Carl Smith, who had an office on
Soledad street. A printed letter dis
tributed and mailed by agents of
Smith in the large cities, especially
in the North and East, served to
bring in the dollars. The letter read,
in substance, that the great "Rincon''
ranch near San Antonio (as matter

NOTES OVER THE CITY

Mr. w. NJ. Fox, the sidewalk con-
tractor and builder, returned last night
from Palestine, where he has been
doing paving work. Mr.. Fox has a
number of contracts for walks In
Bryan, and will be busy for some time.
Charley Jennings, the negro who is
alleged to have assaulted two Mexi'
can laborers near the International q
Great Northern coal chute the other
day. has not yet been caught. The
Mexicans were taken to the railroad
hospital at Palestine yesterday, and 1t
is now thought that they will both
recover.
Now that Mr.. Fox has returned and
is ready to do concrete work in the
city, what about those concerto street
crossings that were to be put in on
Main street? One advantage OF such
crossings is that property owners will
be required to bu1d walks on the in
tersecting streets. The crossings would
be a great improvement to Main
street
The preliminary plans for the sewer
system are under fine Roadway and
work will be started soon. Bryan will
not again have to suffer the intoler'
able and disgraceful conditions in the
business district through another sum-
mer.
Aliens big colored minstrels will
show in this city on next Wednesday
night, December IA. This is tent
show and never fails to please the
large crowds that attend. They carry
a superb band and orchestra and
travel in their own car.
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1910-12-07

of fact, there is no such ranch) was
in need of additional cowboys, and
that energetic, strong young men, dif-
ferent from the old-fashioned Texas
cowboy, were needed. Good wages and
comfortable quarters, in addition to
the fascination of a life in the open
with all the adventures and pleasures
of the range, were the inducements.
Mr.. Smith, in his letters distributed in
Chicago, approached the prospective
cowboy in this language:
"Your railroad fare will be in the
neighborhood of $50 from Chicago. We
are so in need of cowboys that we are
willing to advance you your railroad
fare by return mail, after we receive
from you a remittance Of 81, as an
evidence of good faith on your part.
Send me the 81 and I will send you
ticket from Chicago to San Antonio. y
The idea of cowboy factory, say
the government officers after talk
with Smith, who is lodged in the
Bexar county Jail, originated In the
interest maidens in the North are
evincing in Texas cowboys. Governor
Campbell, of Texas, and Postmaster
John J. Stevens daily receiving scores
of letters asking them to furnish the
names of cowboys eligible as hus.
bands. The idea of cowboy factory
then occurred, upon the publication
recently of some letters, to the young
man on Soledad street. From the way
in which his letters met with 50 re.
sponses it is evident there are many
youths whose ambition is to ride the
range and punch cattle. While the
cowboy is still an institution In
Southwest Texas, he has practically
disappeared from the vicinity Of San
Antonio, the cutting up of the large
cattle ranches into farms RELOCATING
him to the pages of fiction or history
or driving him to the still remaining
large ranches in Northwest Texas.

BROOM CORN IN DRY CLIMATE.
Crop Raised Without Water Sold for
$40 a Ton.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle.l

Spokane, Wash, Dec. wv. d.
Chapman, farmer In the Walla Walla
valley, had small tract OF broom
corn, raised without drop Of water
from the time of planting until he
harvested 1t, which he sold for $40
a ton. Other farmers have made the
experiment of growing broom corn and
find that 1t gives good returns. Ac-
cordingly, they are planning on larger
planting for the coming season. Sew
eral farmers will try 1t for the clean
ing crop for summer fallow, and be-
lieve that 1t will make good returns.
Broom corn will do we'll in this
section said A. M. Butler, superin,
tendent of the College Place broom
factory, located in the Walla Walla
valley. There is no reason why 1t
can not be grown as well here as any
where, and with irrigation would be
the best produced anywhere. That
grown here this summer was a tride
too brittle, but with more moisture II
would be as good as any"

EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN.

Yokohama, Japan, Dec. Mount
Asama continues to attract attention
and create anxiety by steadily increas-
ing evidences of activity. On the 9th
instant great masses of black smoke
were emitted from the crater, which
lasted more than twenty-four hours
and rolled out toward the sea In a
black cloud. At the same time intense
subterranean rumblings were heard
around its base.
On the night of the 9Th, few mo-
ments after midnight, a severe shock
was experienced at Nagasald in the
far southwestern end of Japan. Four
minutes later a second tremor oc-
Cured, followed by slight trembling
of the earth which lasted several min
utes. Some slight damage is reported.
Two days later, on the afternoon Of
the Sth, a shock was felt throughout
the Yokohama-Tokio district which
lasted almost two minutes.
The natives are used to earthquakes
in Japan, but this unwonted activity
Is the source of some slight anxiety.

SOMETHING IMPORTANT
IN SIGHT FOR BRYAN
Efforts Being Made to Secure Free
Mail Delivery by April, 1911.
ADVANTAGES OF Service.

The Commercial Club Is putting
forth every possible effort to secure
free mail delivery for Bryan. There
are many requirements that must be
met, but Secretary Hewitt says most OF
these have been arranged for and
there is strong campaign on for Sc
curing the others.
One of the most important require
ments is a sufficiency Of sidewalks.
In order to meet the requirement of
the postoffice department there is still
a great deal of improvement to be
made in the sidewalks over the city.
In securing the delivery service and
meeting the required conditions there
will result many permanent improve
lments that alone would be worth the
cost of construction.
There are many advantages in hav-
ling a free mail delivery service. 1t
will furnish us with at least three civil
service deliverymen; 1t will be great
convenience. and will place Bryan in
the class with the larger towns of the
state.
There is plenty Of time between now
and April, 1911, to get the town in
shape to meet all of the conditions
necessary to securing the service.
With the volume of business trans
acted at the local postoffice and other
conditions along this line Bryan is
entitled to free delivery now, and with
only small effort we can be ready to
make the application with assurance
that it will be granted.
