Austin, Texas, Nov. 23.-At the rate
that the Confederate veterans and
pensioners are dying throughout the
state, it will not be many years before
there will be no more need for any
appropriation for Confederate pen
sions, according to T. l.. Beauchamp,
clerk in the comptrollers department,
who has the issuing of pension war
rants. According to the manner of
determining the deaths by the depart
ment there have been an average OF
between 200 and 800 deaths among
tn veterans during each three months.
For the present quarter, however, the
number of deaths has reached 700 or
more.
Several weeks before the warrants
are issued the department sends out
an affidavit to be made by the pen
sioner, and there have been upward
of 10000 sent in within that period,
but there are little over 700 aft

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Saving Of Coal by Use of Niagara
Water Power.

Niagara Falls. N Y, Nov 2S.-In
view of the widespread movement for
the conservation of natural resources.
some figures given out by the com.
merce commission of this city about
power development along the Niagara
river are significant.
By the use of only the excess flow
OF water, without damage to the APP
pearance of the falls, power equiva-
lent to that produced by 100000
tons of coal is turned out every year
on the Niagara river. AS 100000
tons of coal, at the price prevailing
here, would cost about $751; $4,000, the
utilization of the water for power rep.
resents an annual saving of that
amount of money
The quantity of water that can be
used for power is limited by law and
international treaty, so that there is
no danger of damage to the scenic
bNhult VI .NIdSdl ne ItSlIlClIOllS
are such that only very small pro
portion of the total flow can be used
The power concerns are also cooper
ating with the Canadian and New
York state governments to make and
keep the shore lines beautiful.
OF course it is out of question that
the nation will ever permit Niagara
waters to be converted into electricity
up to a point where the scenic grand
eur of the falls would be affected. But
a calculation of the potential energy
of this great cataract is Illuminating |
as to the vast water power wealth |
now going to waste in this country. !
Figured in the cost of coal that could |
be saved, the total amount of water |
over the falls represents an
annual flood of 1908, 14S,0O0 and a
Yearly consumption of 71,2S0,000 tons
II coal. In a period of ten vears the
otal power of Niagara would be |,
worth $2,O31 100000.

PICKING COMPLETED IN GRIMES.

Homer Vaughn of Keith, Grimes
county, was over today buying sup
plies from ijryan merchants. Mr..
Vaughn stated to an Eagle reporter
that cotton picking in his part of the
county had been completed, and that
but very little in the entire county
yet remained to be picked. He stated
the yield was good, much more being
made than last year. The corn crop,
however, was very short. and a great
deal would have to be bought; in fac5.
it was there as here. corn is already
being shipped in. This, Mr.. Vaughn
said, would work a great hardship on
the people, as the price of cotton was
so low that what little profit the farm.
ers may have made on the big cotton
crop would be consumed in buying
corn

TO A memo SHERMAN LAW

Washington. Nov. 23.-Amendment
of the Sherman antitrust law at the
coming session of congress is certain
say members of the house judiciary
committee. which resumed its ses
sionS for the consideration of that
subject today. Work on the proposed
amendments has already been com.
menced, and it is expected that the
matter will be in shape to present to
congress next month.
The house democrats. it is declared
will push Legislation along this line
regardless of the recommendation in
the presidents message. In addition
to antitrust legislation, the judiciary
committee has decided upon revision
of the injunction statutes and the law 5
regulating indirect contempt cases.
1t is stated on good authority today
that the efforts of the committee con-
sidering he Sherman law are directed
principally toward elimination from
the act of the rule of reason as in
terpreted by the United States su.
preme court, which held that there
are reasonable" and unreasonable"
combinations.
A law providing trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt of court
and modification of the Injunction re-
strictions are regarded by the demo
cratic leaders as necessary to fulfill
the party pledges.
1t is stated today that President
Taft will recommend in his message
a federal incorporation act as an addi-
tional remedy for trust abuses. 1t is
said that provision of this kind
might be made to permit corporations |
whose methods of doing business VIC !
lated the Sherman law to reorganize /
under federal act.
Tariff legislation, say the demo.
cratic leaders, will certainly be
passed. The wooden, cotton and meta,
scneuules are among those certain to
be revised. A vigorous fight for free
sugar is predicted
Currency reform legislation, which
has been the principal topic Of discus
sion at the convention of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in New Or
leans this week, is not likely to be
acted upon at the coming session, say
many leaders of both parties. The
AIdrich p'or. w"2teyer its merits or
dement's, will he looked upon with
suspicion by democrats and insurgeu
republicans because it bears the name ,
