TREE COTTON NOT A SUCCESS.

THE COLORADO DESERT.
Its Stunted Tree Forms and It's Pet.
rified Forests.

In places in the Colorado desert
are stream beds where perhaps once
in several years heavy rains in dis
tant mountains will cause water to
flow for a short time. In these dry
water courses several varieties of
stunted tree forms are often found,
The desert willow, which resembles
the willow with which we are ia
miIiar. though smaller in size; the
val verde, or green tree, a tree
which is a bright green from trunk
to tip of limb in every twig, and the
ironwood, so dense in fiber that it
turns an AXIS edge, are the principal
varieties. They are rarely above
twenty feet high, and, like all desert
vegetation, have not leaf.
They are apparently outcasts from
the two great tree divisions, decidu-
Gus and citrus, for they have leaves
neither to lose nor to keep. These
may be called the living dogs of the
tree family. We will find here also
the dead lions.
Not far from the mountain range
we will come upon the remains of
what We're once extensive forests of
gigantic trees, now turned to stone
and lying as they fell centuries ago.
The great trunks, perfect in grain,
knot and bark fiber, cumber the
ground in tangled confusion in those
places which have been protected
from the drifting sand, giving evil
dence that what is now a desert was
once upon a time a tropical wilder

OUR PEOPLE MUST WAKE UP
EVERY PERSON HAS \ PART IN
MAKING THE FAIR \ SUCCESS.
Terrell County Cannot Afford to
Offer the Public a "Cheap
John Affair"


There is one thing on which the
various committees at work for the
fair are fully agreed, and that is
that Terrell county cannot afford to
offer to the public a Cheap John, -
secOnd-class show. The movement
that is now under way for bringing
the people together in October is
meeting with approval on all sides,
especially in the country districts,
and Dawson must wake up to the
fact that she has opened her gates
and sent out an invitation to all who
will to come in and accept the free
dom of the city. The time Is short,
and the important fact staring us
in the face is that in order to be
ready for our visitors it behOOVeS
each citizen to get busy. Each indi-
vidual has part in making the fair
a success, and no one can shift the
responsibility to other shoulders.
We do not want to bring the crowds
here unless we are going to give
them something worth seeing after
they come. No catch penny schemes,
but the very best that can be Sc
cured for the different departments
is the purpose of the promoters.
The fair will be of general benefit
to the entire city and county, but
of course the merchants will reap
the greatest good from the crowds
who will assemble, and it is but rea-
sonable to expect every business man
to rally to the movement and push
it forward with vim that will in
sure splendid success. No half
hearted measures will count in this
enterprise.
Terrell county has a reputation
far and wide for her wonderful re-
sources, and the fair will give our
people the opportunity to make good.
No use in blow and buster to get
a lot of people here unless We are
going to give them the worth of their
money, We have got to pull to-
gether with a vim that knows no
such word as fail, and have as our
aim to give the people who come just
a little bit bigger and better show
than the most enthusiastic could eX-
pect.
There is general rejoicing over the
fact that the use of the court house
has been rendered by those in au-
thority This will furnish an ideal
place, being we'll located, commo-
dious and well ventilated, with
grounds sufficient for all purposes.
The weather conditions are usual
ly all that could be desired in Oc-
tober, and everybody is in high spir-
its after handling such crops as our
section yields, and pocket books will
be fairly bullying, so what better for
our people after the stress and strain
of making the crops than to come
together for a season of relaxation
and recreation? 1t will do us all
good to get better acquainted and
realize just what fine folks we really
have in this good county.
The committees have found it nee
essary to make some additions to the
premium list, and it will appear re-
vised and complete in the next issue
of The News. In the meantime let
us face the fact that company is
coming, and we must put things in
order and see to it that everyone
has a royal welcome and good
time.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Chris-
topher p Connolly. a lawyer from
Montana and New York, and we'll

linger is prepared to invoke the law

The basis of the action is the

legged that a man named Connolly
stood on the deck of the steam
ship Republic just before she went
down and trampled down women
and children in an attempt to get
to the life boat" When asked to
identify the Connolly referred to,
it is alleged that Lawler said: ''He
is an employee of Golfers Weekly,
is tall and slender man with a
short gray moustache." This, Con-
molly says, described him.
Lawler is further alleged to have
said he had considerable Hcon-
tempt for Connolly, who was con-

he would not put him above any
thing of that kind" Connolly says
the charges connecting him with
the person aboard the Republic is
false, and that he was in Los An

cusation was maliciously made.

RECORDS ARE
SLAUGHTERED BY
MOTOR CARS
BY Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May az
Records went down before an on
slaught of desperately driven cars
in today's races on the motor
speedway and new course, the only
brick track in the world. In three
different classes of American stock
cars, records were hammered down.
The greatest victory was the one
hundred mile race which was won
by Kincaid, in National in
1:23:43. The previous record was
made by Chevrolet in Buick at
Atlanta in 1:24:08. In the five
mile race, Kincaid broke the rec
ord 40 seconds. His time was
4:05. Harroun, driving a Marmon,
broke the ten mile record, winning
in S:16. The former record was
9:03. Chevrolet, driving Buick,
established a record for cars OF
small displacement in the five mile
event. The time was 4:41. The
previous record was 5:13. Bar
ney Oldfield in a Knox had a mar
row escape when the steering gear
broke while the car was running
eighty miles an hour. He brought
the car to a stop at the edge of the
bank. The two hundred mile race
will be run tomorrow. This was
stopped last year because of deatt
dealing accidents.
