HENRY MElGGS' CENTENARY.

Catskill, n. Y, July This village
was the birthplace, 100 years ago to-
day, Of soldier of fortune whose
name and fame spread over both
North and South America Beginning
his career as an absconder, this man,
Henry Meiggs, became the leading
railroad builder of South America and
the wealthiest lumberman of the
United States. amassing a fortune of
many millions.
Meiggs was born here July 1911,
and went to California among the
early emigrants. Among the miners
and prospectors of the Golden State
he soon acquired an enviable reputa-
ton for integrity, and many of them
trusted him with their funds He be-
trayed this trust and fled to Peru,
where he began the building of rail
roads. He carried to completion six
lines of railways in Peru and Chile
and began three others His greatest
achievement was the Callao, Lima &
Oroya railroad, connecting the Peru
Wan capital with the Pacific, and even
yet this line ranks as among the most
daring successes of modern engineer
ing.
From the millions he made in the |
Southern continent Meiggs repaid
with interest all who had claims
against him, and during his last years /
gave large sums, running probably |
into millions, to various charities. He
died in Lima, Peru, in 1877. A statue
OF the railroad builder has been erect
ed in the capital of Peru and centen-
NAL exercises on an elaborate scale
will be held there today.

The planting of the seed and the smok-

The aid of the powers has been
sought to prevent the importation into
China of opium from India and other
countries.
Among Chinese officials there is
evident an earnest desire to put an
END to the use of the deadly drug,
which is rapidly sapping the energy
and vitality of the Chinese, but there

AVIATION EXTRAORDINARY
At CORPUS CHRISTI
Aviator in Wright BipIane Carried
Three Hundred Pound Passen-

Corpus Christi, Texas, July T.
There is still flutter of excitement in
the old town today over Mr.. Oscar ].
Brindley's most successful fights with
one of the Wright brothers biplanes
here on July 8 and 4. This was the
first to exhibit in all of South Texas,
south of San Antonio, and the one TO
make worlds record in weight and
passenger carrying. If one is sought
to perform a daring feat it is needless
TO go outside of Texas to find that
one, and in this instance the indi-
vidua was found in the person Of F. z.
Bishop the owner of the new town
of Bishop, who, weighing well up to-
ward the three hundred mark, dared
to make long fight up through and
above the clouds with Aviator Brind-
ley, who says this is the worlds rec
ord for weight carrying by an aero
plane.
The aviator visited his big passen
ger at the new town today and reports
him well over the sensations of his
exciting experience and declaring that
next to town building, he would be
a birdman.

HAD AN EYE KNOCKED OUT

One of the most distressing acct
dents Bryan has known in long time
occurred Wednesday night, as a re,
suit of which John Oprsteny, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Oprsteny, will lose
one of his eyes.
He was playing after supper in the
moonlight with some other boys,
throwing cobs at each other, when he
was struck in the eye, bursting the
ball and forever binding the sight of
his eye.
The injury is being treated by DIR.
Mondrick and as soon as the swelling
is abated he will be taken to Austin
for an operation removing the injured
eye.

the few men in Texas who have

is native of Texas. He was born in
Matagorda county and moved to

the construction of some of the orig

M. college, and actually laid the last
brick on the building now known as
Gathright Hall, and on the brick resi-
dence that was occupied by Thomas
Cartwright, the first president of the
college. He has recently closed
service of twenty-three years with the
College Station postoffice. It was
twenty-three years ago that w. c..
Boyett was first appointed postmaster
at College Station, and he has been
in that position ever since. Mr.. Royall
went to work for him on the day he
became postmaster. Although a good

office through successive republican
administrations and will hold il inst

The Mart Fair Association is work
ing for the development of the state
and that section in a very practical
way. In addition to the big list OF
premiums on corn, cotton, calves, pigs.
etc, a special list of premiums will be
offered for the finest babies. The fair
will open on the morning of July 49,,
and 1t is expected that one OF the
finest collections of babies ever seen
in the state will be on exhibition at
Mart. President Bass, of the fair asso-
citation, deserves great credit for thus
encouraging the stork in Texas. and
when the same encouragement is
given to the raising of babies as is the
case with fine stock, Texas will take
long stride in her development.
Texas needs more babies and better
babies.

Mr.. j. H. Timberlake of Jacksboro
has demonstrated that bee raising can
be made as profitable in that section
OF the state as in the famous bee dis.
trict of Southwest Texas. From one
colony of bees, which he started two
years ago, he has twelve stands and
produced an exceptionally large crop
of honey this year, in spite of the
drouth which has prevailed over the
state. Mr.. Undertake says that the
mesquite bloom produces as good
honey as the catsclaw of Southwest
Texas, and he advises the farmers Of
Jack and other North Texas counties
to engage in agriculture. There are
100000 swarms of bees in Texas an
nually and the honey from the Texas
flowers is the best in the world and
the highest prices.

A Texas city claims the distinction
of being the wealthiest in the United
States in proportion to it's population
The city boasting of this honor is
Victoria, in Victoria county, and out of
a population of only 1000 there are
eight millionaires and one hundred
men worth quarter of a million dol
lars. The wealth of Victoria and sur
rounding country was acquired largely
through the cattle business, this city
being what is termed in the West a
Cow town" up until few years ago,
but the cattle range of that section is
fast giving away to the vitalizing in
fiuence of the pillow, and it is now rank
ing high up in the list of agricultural
counties of the state.
