BUILDING BOOM IN
PROGRESS AT PECOS
New Railroad Station Is Al
most Completed-Two
More Planned.

Pecos, Texas, July 14-Work on the
Lipscomb building, which was de-
stroyed by fire In this city several
months ago, is about completed and the
leasers Of the new building with begin
moving in about July IS. 4 feature Of
this building is that 1t will be the first
building constructed in Pecos to use
FL Paso county mica as a finishing pro-
duct. The mica used will be from the
mines of the Pecos Mica Manufacturing
company, located about SO miles from
this city in FL Paso county. 1t is the
same mica as is to be used as a coating
on several new buildings to be con-
structed in FL PasO.
This mica, now made IN about so diff
ferent shades, is being used all over the
United States as a finisher for the out
side of buildings. 1t gives the building
a finish like granite.
Work on the Pecos high school has
progressed to the extent where all the
brick work is complete and the inside
is receiving attention. This building
must be ready. according to contract.
by Sept. 8. 1t will cost s22.250.
Work on the new Texas & Pacific
station, costing $4,000, is. progressing
nicely. This station will not be
union depot, as enormously reported
heretofore. 1t will be used exclusively
by the Texas q Pac111c railway EIIOrtS
have been made, however. to try to get
the Pecos Valley Southern railway to
enter the new station
The Pecos Valley Southern and the
Santa Fe will doubtless construct sep
arate stations, the first road shortly.
Work on the new $50, 900 Cowan
building is being pushed; also on the
FL Paso Store building and various
other buildings throughout the city.
Approximately $4,000 worth of new
buildings are under construction in Fe
cos today. In addition to this MAJ be
added $4,000 to be spent on the new
Pecos Carnegie public library. Also
other work under construction here
could be added to this total, such for
instance as new cement sidewalks. The

Mr.. Grayman's anger vanished again,
and a cold fear began to take its
place. His incredulity vanished also.

might really be the explanation of her

Of the Chameleon also.

in respect to its literary productivity.
To be sure. Columbia would be ex-
pected to produce no small number
Of authors. being as it is the seat of
the University and a number of COL
leges, but even at that one may won
der that one small town could be the
birthplace of so much literary talent.
1t is a miscellaneous collection,
this offering of Columbia to the realm
Of letters, containing as it does al
most everything from novels to
weighty law books, from poetry to
heavy prose. There is but one novel,
however. on record, showing that
the town is of serious turn of mind
and inclined to research and study.
This one novel is in the collection or
the State Historical Society and is
called THE Battle of Life" 1t is
by j. w. HattOn and was published
in 1882. 1t is one of the first books
written by a resident of Columbia.
Some other books written at this
early period are on the history of
Missouri by w. F.. Switzler, published
in 1872. and a number of addresses
and political essays; books on agri-
cultural chemistry and geology, pub
lished in 1879 by DIR. Paul Schweitz-
er; historical sketch of the Uni
versity, published in 1888. an ora
tiOn on General Jackson and some
laws books by Daniel Read, president
of the University from 1866 to 1876;
Memoirs of J. X. Rogers and Christ
ian College" published in 1885 by
o. A. Carr; and geological reports
and papers by G. c. Broadhead, pub
lished in 1888.
Most of the books which have been
written by Columbia people are of
recent date and the authors are still
living. E. w. Stephens has an ac-
count of a trip around the world
which has come out in book form,

are law books, but wide range OF
other subjects is represented. The
labor and thought of many an hour
has gone into the production of these
and the research of keen minds has
added to the store of human knowl-
edge.

DON'T SLIGHT THE WOMEN

Considerable attention is being
paid these days to the organization
of roOters' clubs for men. Sections
are reserved for them in the bleach
ers at the football games. Yell
leaders direct their cheering from
behind big megaphones. They are
supposed to WELD a potent influence
in the success or failure of the team.
But what about the women?
Wars have been fought because of
women. Brave men die upon the
battlefield to carry out a woman's
whim. Empires tOtter and dynasties
her favor. Has she no power to
fall at her caprice. Knights Of old
hacked and carved each other to win
goad the football warrior on toward
his opponents goal?
BY all means We should have a
woman rooters' club, or a coed root
ers' club-give it any name you
choose to call it, SO long as all the
pretty girls that follow the Old Gold
and Black belong to it. The woman
have been excluded from space in

ATHLETICS FOR MAN-BUILDING

Every part of a machine which is
to be successful must be thorough
Iy tempered and strengthened to re-
sist the shocks to which it is liable,
but more than this it must be
strong enough to stand the wear and
tear of every day usage. So it is
with a human being The fittest
survives and strength is one of the
essential elements of fitness. A
strong mind is practically worthless
unless the bodily fires which sup
port it are burning brightly. Every
part must be tempered and strength
ened to stand the wear and tear of
daily usage.
Our fathers and grandfathers
were strong because of environment.
Rough life with plenty of wood to
saw and split kept them in perfect
physical condition. But today these
conditions are gone Physical exer-
tion is, for most of us. something to
be avoided.
1t is to fill the place of these
heaIthmakers of our ancestors that
college athletics have come. 1t is
tc develop strong. healthy students,
to furnish good foundation upon
which strong mentaIities may be
built; it is to help in the building of
them; it is. in brief. to prepare the
college students of today for the bat
ties before him. that athletic sports
have been introduced into our edu-
cational institutions.
OF course, there are other meth
DDS of arriving at the same goal such
as the various forms of manual la
bor But even We're these practica-
bic for us all, an important element
would be lacking. The pleasure of
playing ball, or tennis. or kicking a
football is undeniable, but it is a
question whether many people will
see the fun i'm saving a cord of wood
or hauling a ton of coal. The mere
enjoyment of competition. one man
animal against another. of striving
for victory and of winning is health
feature that cannot be found outside
of the field of college athletics.
