GRIM TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
many vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Are Constant Menace to
Navigation.

There is n grimness about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni.
TED States revenue cutter service.
weighed anchor and steamed out of
New York harbor to search for dere-
hcts OF the seven-day storm which
ended recently. Vessels that have been
abandoned at sea, unless deliberately
destroyed, continue to be a menace to
shipping for long period following
their abandonment. For many years
1t was customary for sea captains. on
coming into port, to report such dere-
nets as they had observed during
voyage, and the government published
charts IN which the position of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, In order
That sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them.
mere was at one time some talk of in
ternauonal cooperation in the task of
clearing the sea Of these floating
ships, but nothing came of it, and the
united States government finally
TOOK the matter up on it's own account,
pelng Tor long time the only govern
ment which did so, and presumably it
occupies that position to this day. The
vessels designated as derelict destroy
ers are specially fitted out with dyna-
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to
navigation, and the significance of the
departure of the Seneca lies in the
TACT that the storm of last week is
supposed to have caused many wrecks
on Hatteras and along the coast of
the Carolinas.

large concrete fireplace and mantel
Is the principal feature, with wide

the house, as each of the four ends OF
the residence are Of the bay type.
The only wood used In the construc-
ton of the building is to be found in
the door stills, windows and floors, the

Motoring at Its Best.

Few motorists know of motoring in
all its fullness They drive along coun-
try roads for a hundred miles or so.
through towns SO closely set that they
virtually run through one long village.
and they think they have motored.
They cross the ocean and enjoy the
perfect roads of France and Switzer-
land, and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there is in life In the motor
car but no one has ever been brought
to a full realization of what motoring
really is or what the wonderful mod.
ern machine of mans creative genius
Is really capable of doing until they
nave sat In racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as 1t is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote: What a de-
lghtful thing is a turnpike road, such
a means OF speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle In the broad afr can
accomplish" He certainly spoke in

cially OF the racing machine, which

HARD TO PAY THE TAXES
French Deputy Runs AfouI of Red
Tape When He Tries to Get
on Tax Roll.

Jean laval, who was elected deputy
of the Sens division of the Yonne de.
partment In France in 1910, bought a
house In Sens just after the election.
discovering few days ago that he
mad never paid any taxes on the prop
erty he looked up the list and found
that his name had never been placed
there.
AS no self-respecting socia1st-radi-
cal republican deputy would care to
avoid such an obligation, and not for
getting the weapon non-payment of
taxes would give to his opponents in
future election, M. laval wrote to
the authorities asking to be inscribed
on the list.
The letter was returned with the no.
tihcation that his request could not be
considered unless 1t was sent in on
stamped paper, with a so centime 10.

Not CheaP Building.
1t has been estimated that to re-
build the pyramid of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure of
$100,OOO,000 would be necessary and
the labor of 10000 men for two years
required
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 1OO, 900
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies a space OF
twelve and three-quarters acres, is 746
feet high and contains about 143,315,-
200 cubic yards of stone and gran
Ite
The material alone represents an
Item Of $36,00O,OO0, while the labor
would increase this amount to $72,-
100000. To this must be added 49,
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.

PROPOSITION AND
COUNTER PROPOSITION
Statement In Detail Of Negotiations
Between City Council and Mr..
Preston Regarding Light
Plant.

The called meeting of the city coun-
ell held last Friday night was for the
purpose OF receiving the report of the
committee appointed at a previous
meeting to place an order for the ma
terials to be used in constructing the
proposed municipal light plant, and
also to consider the advisability OF
buying the light distributing system
of the Bryan Water. Light & Power
Company. The committee reported the
acceptance of the bid of the Wesco
Supply Company Of San Antonio for
all materials, and the mayor was or
dered to sign the contract. There
were six bidders, the bids ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. In addition to the
city engineer, the council had the ad-
vice Of Prof Bolton, of A. & nj. col
| lege. on transformers and meters.
President Preston, Of the Bryan
Water, Light & Power Company, be-
ing present, asked permission to sub
nit a proposition to the council, which
was granted. He presented the fol
lowing proposition in writing;N
'Honorable Mayor, Board of Aldermen
and City Engineer:
"Gentlemen-We submit you the
following price on the electrical equip
ment of the Bryan Water, Light 4
Power Company, which consists Of
meters, transformers, poles, lines and

gines, boilers, real estate or supplies
for the sum Of $12,125.00 twelve thou

RULES FOR CORN AND
COTTON PRIZE CONTESTS
To All Contestants:

To All Contestants:
Entries in our corn and cotton con-
test closed April 1, with over 1850 con-
testants enrolled from 100 counties.
In few days We shall publish in the
newspapers of the state complete
list of these counties, showing the
number of entries from each, and also
stating the number of men, women.
boys and girls who are trying for the
prizes.
Your attention is directed to the
rules of the contest requiring you to
raise both corn and cotton-ten acres
of each If you were over twenty years
of age on January l, 1911, and either
two or ten acres of each If you were
under that age on that date.
The corn and cotton entered in the
contest must be separated from other
crops of the same kind by stakes,
turnrows, or otherwise, so 1t can be
easily identified and inspected, and
the two or ten-acre plats of each crop
must form one solid body of land con-
tanning exactly the required number
of acres; II the plat falls short OF the
| two or ten acres the loss will be
charged against the contestant, and II
| It exceeds the necessary number OF
acres the judges may throw out the
entire entry. The two crops will be
Judged together as one crop, not sepa-
I rately, so that big yield of one crop
will help small yield Of the other.
The quality as well as the quantity OF
the corn and cotton will also be con-
sidered in determining the best
yields.
A careful record should be kept OF
1.-THE cost of production of each crop,
Including labor, rental, fertilizers and
every other item of expense, whether
Ipaid for in money, time or work.
Please keep a record also OF the
name of every visitor who comes te
see your crop, and the date of his
Visit. We want to show by this record
1.-THE interest taken in our work to i'm
Iprove agricultural methods.
We will send blanks for your mex
report in plenty of time to reach yo'
before May 1.
Il With best wishes for your success
we are yours very truly,
