 March 10th the fve-man team will

 well up in the money. However, much better is expected of the boys, as they are 8 strong aggregation, well bal anced team, every man a hard worker from the bell, and not a quitter in the bunch. all of which means much when you take into consideration that a single pin may determine the winner. The Elm City has been represented at three national tournaments, and in every case have given a good account of themselves.
 The New Haven team will leave for the tournament on Thursday morning, March 9th, either by way of the New York Central, via Springfield and AL l bany or over the Lehigh railroad, ar | irving in Buffalo about 10 D. m. the ! same day.

that Blufftan, one of the towns along

that the two stores and the big lum-

flames creeping down to the railroad
where they were finally checked by
the people of that place starting back
fires against it, and in this way the
total detruction of the stores and the

The fire extends back in the mount

destruction of tipber, very little DAM
age is reported, the mountain men
being able to save their homes each

West End Realty company, of which
Governor Hooper is president and

ed, has returned. Mr.. McSween was
reelected secretary of the company
which is capitalized at S2O7,OOO, and
which owns valuable acreage near the
$4,000, 600 Rice Institute, which is
developing.
One of the enjoyable entertainments
accorded the visiting Tennessee execu-
tive and party, was trip down the
Houston Ship Channel aboard the pri-
vate yacht "Zeeland" of H. B. Rice
mayor of Houston. The channel is
soon to be improved under 81, SOC, 900
appropriation, so that ocean commerce
from the Gulf Of Mexico will coma di-
rect to the doors of Houston. Work
on this project will begin soon after
the first of the year and it was to in
spect the possibilities the consumma-
ton of this project embraces that the
Tennessee party went dowu the chan
mel as the guests of the Mayor.
Another principal function accorded
theSvisitors was u luncheon rendered
by the Chamber of Commerce at a
downtown club, attended by the honor
guests and principal business men OF
Houston. AT this luncheon Governor
Hooper uttered several significant re-
marks concerning Houston's future.
He'declared Houston is destined to be

Houston's steady growth is no boom,
but a natural eXpansioo. The COVER.
nor recalled that several years age
when people spoke of Houston as the
"Chicago of the Gulf" their hearers
tho ,ght they were dealing in plati
tudes, but in his own calm deliberate
judgment the predictions are basec or
fact.
Concerning the Ship Channel Gov
ernor Hooper said:
"When the o5 feet of water Is secur
ed that the improvement of the Chan
mel is completed it will be almort time
for the opening of the Panama canal
Houston will then be open to worlt
ocean commerce and there will be M
limit to her trade territory. With tn,
advantages of a harbor and seventeen
railroads entering the city there can b,
nothing but rapid growth for Houston

diction that Houston will be the lead

The Judge viii Mot Look
After Massey's Campaign.
Is IN VERY BAD HEALTH
Popular Judge States That His
Sympathies Are With DR.. Mas
sey But Inasmuch as His Health
Prevented Him From Making
the Race, He will Take No Part.

Judge G. McHenderson has an
nounced that he will not serve as cam
paign manager for DR.. Massey. In
making the announcement in the
Journal and Tribune Monday, the
judge said that he is warm PERSONAL
and political friend of DR.. Massey,
and would give DR.. Massey his cordial
support in his race for congress and
would gladly do anything he reason
ably could to aid DR.. Massey in his
race. But he further said that the
condition of his health and the stren-
uous demands made upon him by his
official duties and his business affairs
combined, made it impossible for him
to act as the campaign manager for
DR.. Massey in the latter's race for con-
gress al This time.
Judge McHendersod has the largest
circuit in territory and in the amount
of business done in the state, and be-
lieves he needs relief at the hands of
the legislature. He has, he says, al
ready impaired his health in trying to
keep up with the work in his circuit,
and was unable on account of his
health to enter the race for congress,
although pressure to do so was brought
on him, and but for his health, he
might have made the race. He will
endeavor so to arrange the work of his
courts as to be able to spend a portion
Of the winter in Florida, and obtain a
much needed rest, since he has not had
a regular vacation in twenty years.
