GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITION OF |. & G. NJ
Judge Freeman Has Untangled the
Kinks and Practically Rebuilt and
Equipped the Road
Especial to The Bryan Eagle

Austin, Texas, March 15.-Within
the past three years, with Judge
Thomas j. Freeman as receiver, the
International & Great Northern rail
road has made the most remarkable
improvement. This line stretching
across the entire state of Texas from
Laredo, on the Rio Grande, to the
northern border of the state. has been
one of the important factors in the
development of the Southwest. On
May 16, unless there is some postpone
ment by the court, the road will be
cleared of its receivership and turned
into the hands of the new purchasers
During the time that Judge Freeman
has been at the head of the manage
ment the property. which was run
down and dilapidated, has been prac-
tically rebuilt.
Soon after his appointment as re-
ceiver Judge Freeman borrowed S340.-
600 for the purpose of meeting inter-
est on the first mortgage bonds. This
obligation has been met out of the
earnings, and in addition to this $780,
600 of equipment notes have been can
celled by payment in full. During the
time 16 locomotives and 500 box cars
have been purchased. Thirty miles Of
new rails have been laid and 100000
ties have taken the place of the old
ones. Other improvements paid out of
earnings include $50 miles Of ballast
ing with stone, gravel and shells, and
the rebuilding of bridges. ard ire cor
version of locomotives from coal to oil
burners over 500 miles OF the com
pany's lines. The rolling stock IN r

with demands.
Since Judge Freeman has shown
that the International d Great North
ern can be operated at q profit, Il is
understood that ne is mentioned iu
railroad circles as a probable sue
cessor to George Gould, the retired
head of the Missouri Pacific system.

gives US supply of 81 pounds OF cot
ton and IL pounds of wool per capita.
Combined, this supply will not exceed
one ordinary suit of clothes per annum
per capita, and he who possesses a
larger wardrobe must do so at the eX-
pense of a naked barbarian. We have
silk and other fibers used for clothing,
but portion of the cotton and wool

Giles, and it is likely that the figures
above quoted furnish an average allot-
ment per capita for clothing textiles

Both of these fibers are necessities
of the human race, and both must
pass through the factory before they
can be placed in the hands of the CON
sumner.
The cotton area is limited to Texas

COTTON AND WOOL.

The human race gets its clothing
from cotton and wool, and Texas is
a worlds factor in both these products.
We produce 20 per cent of the cotton
supply of the world and are in the
front rank of states on wool produc-
ton. The worlds supply and consump-
ton of textiles is therefore of interest
to every citizen in Texas, as the future
prosperity of our state must depend
largely upon cur development Of these
lines of industry.
According to the reports of the fed
eral agricultural department for 1903,
just recently announced, there were
$685., 191 900 pounds of cotton and p
695, $4,000 pounds of wool raised in
the world. We have something over

PARAGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES

A comparison of farming conditions
in Texas with those of Germany show
{ that the size of an average farm in
Texas is 3O7 acres, or more than eight
cen times as large as the average Ger
man farm, which is only 10 acres. The
German farmer is considered the
thriftiest in the world, and on his 10
acres of land, by using intensified
farming methods, utilizing every inch
of space and by rotation of crops,
can produce as much or more than is
raised on a farm Of twice the size in
any other country on the globe. The
Texas farms could be made to produce
enough to feed the population of the
entire United States, if the best and
most intesified methods of agriculture
of European countries were applied.
and still have surplus for export.
The soil of Texas is compared to an
investment fund which, under proper
management may be continually in
creased from its annual earnings. With
the ever-increasing population Of
Texas the time will soon come when
the farm lana now in use in the state
must be handled more intensiyely ana
more effectively. and each acre must
be made to produce to it's maximum
capacity the crops for which it is best
suited.
The man with the COW is becoming
almost as popular in Texas as the man
with the hoe and the demand for pure
milk and dairy products of all kind-
IS growing larger every day. me
United States department Of agricul-
tire estimates that 1000 pounds of but
ter. which is worth $500. takes less
than 80 cents worth of plant food from
the ground, and that the industry is
one of the most profitable in which
the Southern farmer can engage. The
opportunities for dairyng in Texas are
almost unlimited, and with the excel
lent ranges and plenty of domestic
grasses there is no reason why the
Texas dairyman should not prosper
without being subject to the proven
bal charge Of watering his stock"

DIRT BROKEN
ON SEPTIC TANK
Sewer System Lines Located, Right Of
Way Secured and Excava-
ton Begun.

The right of way for the sewer sys-
tenn has been secured, the lines of
pipe located and the teams and work
men, under City Engineer Carson,
started the excavation of the septic
tank this morning. The site for this
tank is located northwest of the cor
ner of Franklin and Randolph streets,
in the western suburbs.
The route of the system is as fol-
lows Beginning at the septic tank,
running up an alley between Franklin
and Calhoun streets to Bryan street;
thence south along Bryan street to
the international & Great Northern
depot. At Mosely street a branch line
runs east to the Houston &c Texas
Central railroad right of way, and
thence north between the track and
the abutting business houses as far
as the rear of the Parsons & Ray bot
Ting works. On Mosely street it
crosses the Houston & Texas Central
track and extends so as to take in the
courthouse, the jail and other build
ings in that vicinity.
This is as far as the funds now
available will carry the system. These
lines will be mains with lateral con-
nections to cover the residence sec
ton, which will be laid as soon as pos
sible.
The route adopted was designed to
cover the district most in need of the
sewer system.
