TEXAS INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
[By Commercial secretaries.l

[By Commercial Secretaries.]
The Rotan Commercial Club and the
city of Rotan have just completed the
fencing in of several parks at that
place. ROtan has a number of small
parks which are nicely set with shade
trees. and though the town is COM
paratively new one, its parks are
among the prettiest to be found in the
state. Park building is as necessary
to the growth and development OF a
city as any other commercial or indus
trial enterprise, and the citizens OF
Rotan are wisely securing the sites
for their parks while the land is to be
had at a reasonable price.
There are four measures OF strategy
to successful industry-close proximity
to raw material, economic conditions
favorable to manufacture, quick and
easy distribution and a bouyant mar
ket Texas has them all
There is an epidemic of hotel build

new hotels are under construction,
with all the way from fifty to three

unusual amount of building and con-
struction work going on in the Bayou

Do They Want Socialism?

Rudolph Spreckles, the sugar man
ufacturer and reformer, recently
sounded a note of warning in which
he advised the corporations to have
more respect for the law. This has
been followed by a similar warning
from George w. Perkins, the former
partner of J. Pierpont Morgan. In ad-
dressing the Southern Commercial
Congress, Mr.. Perkins ted come plain
truths which should sink deep into the
hearts of those who are drunk with
financial power Mr. Perkins said that
bad business methods are feared more
by the public than the mere size of
the corporation. and that regulation
and control of corporations must be
learned, and honestly and fairly adj
ministered, for the benefit of the pub

and the persistence of the grasping

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS ss>
OF THE SPRING RAINS
All Texas Is Rejoicing in Prospect Of
Good Crops and All Kinds Of Busi-
ness Have loosened Up.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. I

Austin, Texas, March 30.-A loOk
over Texas today, since more rain has
fallen in the past five weeks than in
year previous, emphasizes the fact
that moisture will make anything
grow that touches Texas land. Not for
the past five years have conditions
been so favorable for a great crop
year. The season put in the ground
by the great fall of rain in all parts
of the state insures that the Texas
farmer will have plenty with an abun-
dance to spare. This promise of splen-
did crops is already felt by the money
that has been held for emergency
being turned loose in various improve
ments and widening of agricultural
areas. Many who a month ago were
taking rather hopeless view are now
wearing a different aspect and declar-
ing that for real prosperity Texas can
not be beaten.

PLAN FOR SEWER EXTENSION
INTO RESIDENCE DISTRICTS

1t is well known that the city is
using all of its available funds to con-
struct the main line of the sewer sys-
TEN, in order to secure sanitary con-
ditions in the business district, which
is, OF course, the most congested part
of the city. But the property owners
in the residence districts are making
inquiries as to the possibilities OF get
ting extensions into their districts. A
feasible plan has been proposed, as
follows: The property owners unite
and advance funds to the city for max
ing the extensions, the funds advanced
paying the sewer rates of the owners
for a period of years, according TO the
cost of the extension. The property
owners are getting busy and already
several districts have made applica-
tons for extensions. The residents or
Anderson street already have the
money raised. those on North Regent
and North Washington have formu-
lated their plans and are at work, and
Mr.. NJ. z. Wallace was appointed a
committee this morning by those on
Caldwell street to investigate the maj
ter of an extension for that district.
Those desiring to have extensions
are urged to see Mayor Maloney and
get full particulars at once in order
that the plans for the extensions may
be made by City Engineer Carson and
the work carried along with the con-
struction of the main line. 1t will not
be long until the line is completed,
and therefore all haste possible in ar
ranging for extensions is advised.
A full rate list of water, lights and
sewerage will be published in few

wandered into the operating room at
the International a. Great Northern
depot and asked for drink of water.
Mr.. L. NJ Hewitt was the operator on

him. It was not long before he re-
vealed the fact that he had run away
from home and that he lived in

long enough to get in communication
with his parents and made arrange
ments for his transportation back

Houston, and Mr. Hewitt carried the
boy home with him and gave him
food and a bed for the night, keeping
him until the southbound train Sun
day afternoon.
The boy stated that he met two
boys older than he in Houston, and
having $50 of his own, was persuaded
by the older boys to leave home. The
older boys got the money, telling him
he would lose il. When the three
reached Valley Junction, while wait
ing for a freight train, the little boy
fell asleep and when he awoke the
other two had gone, leaving him with
out money and hungry. He waited for
thau twelva hours thinking they
would return, and then made his way
to Bryan on a freight train. He is
thoroughly converted to home life and
stated that if he ever got home again

Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]

San Antonio, Texas, March 30.-It is
asserted that more men whose early
years were spent in offices in the
North are farming in Texas today than
in any other state in the Union. In
the artesian belt are seventy-fye men
from Detroit and fifty or more from
Milwaukee who lett Office positions TO
get next to the soil in Texas. A re-
markabe fact connected with these
too. is that there is not a failure
among them. Each one is making more
than an average success.
Some OF these came here as bach
elors, and after getting a foothold on
the soil returned to their old homes
and brought Northern girls here as
their wives to share in home making
and the prosperity that is coming to
all Of them.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-08-12

The development of a few cases of
Asiatic cholera in the Governments
hospitals in New York Harbor, as the
result of infection brought there from
abroad, has resulted in calling to pub
lie attention two intensely interesting
discoveries made in recent years in
connection with the disease.
The first is that the ailment is not
nearly as likely to spread in centers
where it is not actually epidemic as
has generally been believed hereto
fore; the second is the fact that there
are persons who are cholera car
riers," accounting in many instances
for longer incubation period than
the formerly accepted one, which was
from a few hours to five days.
These gains in knowledge should
have most reassuring effect on the
public mind. 1t has been learned
that cholera is not carried along by
the wind; and persons who have been
IN the vicinity OF cholera patients do
not carry the germs of cholera away
with them in their clothing unless
such clothing has been contaminated
by infected discharges from the suf-
ferers.
The disease must be taken in
through the mouth, so that, although
extremely virulent and fatal, 1t is only
infectious in the same manner in
which typhoid and some Of the other
fevers are transmissible.
While there is little danger of the
disease spreading here it must be ad
mitted that the situation in Europe is
the cause of grave anxiety at present
It may be said, on the strength of in
formation received by the Federal au
thorities, that there is a greater prev
alence of cholera throughout the world
in regions where the epidemic usually
makes it's appearance than has oc
Cured for some years.
The principal menace this summer
according to Surgeon General Wymar
of the United States Public Health
Service, is from Italian ports, although
many cases have been reported IL
Russian cities as well. The surgeon
general also says that this country ha.
never been in better shape to ge
prompt information of new cases anC
to prevent cases coming into thi
country
The announcement was made at
meeting of the Academy of Medicine
in Paris on July IL that two interna
tional congresses, those on tubercu
losis and dermatology scheduled 70
the end of September in Rome, ha,
been postponed until next spring Of
account of the cholera epidemic il
Italy.
Advices from Italy on the same dat
indicated that the epIoemic had sue
denly grown more serious owing to
sharp rise in temperature. Numerou
cases of the disease were reporte
from Naples, Venice and Genoa.
The recognition of a class of pei
sons known as cholera carriers" ha
resulted in a determination to extern
the detention of all persons suspecte
of having been in direct contact wit
the disease until it's presence or al
sence can be certified to after searcl
ing psychological tests. This e.
