ABOUT THE PROPOSED
INTERURBAN EXTENSION,

A great deal of interest is being
manifested by the people of Bryan in
the proposed extension of the Bryan
and College i~nterurban.
As arranged at the Commercial Club
meeting yesterday morning, Mr.. Gam
mil will meet with the various COM
mittees, and it is hoped that a salts
factory arrangement can be made with
in the next few days.
Mr.. Gammil feels that it will be OF
great financial benefit to run the line
down Main street as far as Parker's
gin, and upon this subject he would be
pleased 10 have an expression of opin-
ion from the business men. While the
Houston e. Texas Central railroad Off
cials were in the city yesterday the
subject was preached, and Mr.. Gus
Radetzki gave the assurance that an
other crossing of the Houston & Texas
Central tracks would be provided for
whenever it was necessary.

TABOR p S.

As / have e nothing from Tabor
in The Eagle for quite a while, VIII
venture to write a few lines. The
health of the neighborhood is fine. Ev-
erybody is enjoying this beautiful
weather. The farmers are very busy
rushing the plows and hoes trying to
master General Green" which is very
plentiful.
Quite a few of the Alexander peo-
pie attended singing at Cottonwood
Sunday afternoon, The music was
very good. There was a large crowd
present. The singers met at Mrs. Nc
Alpin's Sunday night, There was
quite a crowd there.
The people are planning for the
fourth Sunday in this month, when we
are expecting a grand time. We are
going TO have our church at Alexander
dedicated. We would like to have ey-
erybody come and bring someone with
them. We have just had our church
seated with real nice seats, which
were needed very much.
We have singing at Alexander every
second and fourth Sunday. We have
ordered a new organ, but it has not
arrived yet. We have Sunday school
every Sunday afternoon and it is doing
real well, but there is plenty of room
for improvement.
The boys have organized a ball
team. They played at the picnic
Benchley and Tabor. The Tabor team
played Bryan Baptist Academy last
Wednesday and beat them. OF course
we were proud that Tabor beat.
The d~ewberry crop is a thing of the
past. There were practically no ber-
ries in this part of the county.

LADIES' CLUB HOUSE
AND SWIMMING POOL
Mr.. Gammil Submits an Attractive
Proposition to the Ladies
Of Bryan.

Mr.. o. E. Gammil has completed and
submitted to the ladies of Bryan plans
for a club house, including a swimming
pool, at Dellwood park. He proposes
to build a concrete swimming pool,
$50 feet long with a number of fifteen
foot dressing rooms on each side.
These will all be in a beautiful club
house, with a large reception room in
front. Each of the rooms is TO be set
apart. for the use of a club of ten la
dies. Each of the ladies will have a
private key and no one else a have
access to the club room. Each club of
ten is expected to contribute $50 to
defray one-half the cost of the build
ing. Mr.. Gammil proposes to keep the
club house in first-class condition at
his own expense.
The plan is novel and while time
will be taken for consideration, it is
enthusiastically received by quite a
number of Bryan ladies,
A plan is on foot among the young
men of the town to ask for a similar
proposition for their benefit.

Star T. Pinkham, foreman of the
mailing division of the Seattle post
office, and Claude e. Brogdon, stenog-
rapher in the office of F. w. Vaille,
division superintendent for the railway
mail service, have been notified of
their selection by the postoffice de-
partment to fill vacancies as postal
inspectors.
Pinkham has already filed his bond
and is waiting for his commission.
Mr.. Brogdon, on the other hand, was
only notified of his selection this
morning. When he went to Henry D..
Temple and Thomas J. Flavin in the
inspectors office to see what he had
to do, Temple suggested that Brogdon
talk with Pinkham, who had just fin
ished the red tape usual in gaining a
commission, Temple grabbed a phone
and got Pinkham on the line.

As to its Lasting.

Thirty-iive years ago in the city Of
Washington, the first asphalt was
laid there Of Trinidad lake material.
Cities have long since learned that a
poor pavement is a very bad invest
ment. 1t depreciatos the value Of
adjoining property and drives away
trade. 1t wears out vehicles is det-
rimental to the health of the com
munitN and never gives satisfaction
one Of the obvious arguments,
which always impress the intelligent
and thoughtful observer is the fact
that the promoters and advertisers
of all kinds Of asphalt paving mater
ials, when seeking to emphasize the
merits of their pavements, invariably
use Trinidad lake material as the
standard Of comparison. Their ma
tcrial is always "iust as good as Trim
idad lake asphalt, Just as smooth as
Trinidad asphalt, just as sanitary as

rrom I..nnl of TrlnIdnl.

Trinidad pitch, or lake asphalt
comes, as the name implies from the
island Of Trinidad, lying or the coast
OF Venezuela ON the northern coast
Of Sauth America This asphalt field
.s one Of the largest known, and CON
ialns the purest asphalt that has 50
Tar been discovered.
The raw material practically in the
same state as when II is placed on
streets, is removed from its extensive
fields in blocks. From the time this
asphalt is taken from it's bed until
the time it is put TO it's chief use in
paving il goes throush but one pro-
cess, which is in reality no process
at ALL but merely the taking Of fine
roots from IT, or the removal Of what
may be termed the "dross.' How
these roots get into the asphalt field
is unknown, but it is believed their
presence, as wen as the presence Of
the new asphalt Itself, is the result Of
volcanic action. So the asphalt, when
used on streets. is wholely the same
material It is when taken from the
isle of Trinidad.

Has Great Uniformity.

The Trinidad lake Of asphalt has
perhaps n greater uniformity of com
position than has any other one sub
stance Of commercial value. Fire
clays leads of Goals and metals, the
different soils Themselves all vary
in uniformity within the space of a
few feet The variation in some in
stances may be slight, but practical
miners viii testify that there is var
iaticn Of quality, much or little, in
these instances.
SO far as prospects have been ta-
ken there is absolutely no variation
in the quality Of asphalt found in the
Trinidad field. 1t has been taken
from depth Of 1876 feet and com
pared with that taken from the top of
the bed, and a careful analysis on
numerous occasions has been unable
to ascertain difference in uniform
itv, however slight. No other asphalt
field in existence is known to possess
this distinction.

Appreciation by Engineers.

There has never been time, since
the introduction Of Trinidad lake as
phalt pavements, when the substan-
tial advantages Of intclligcnuy con-
structed and thoroughly inspected as
Ihalt paVemcnts We're so highly ap-
preciated by thoughtful engineers,
and others best qualified to Judge as
~ the present time. Following the
collaspc Of the so-caled Asphalt
Trust I'm 1902, the prices for this
pavement reached their very lowest
ebb, and, as natural result the
quality Of the work fell Off In pro-
portion For number Of years as
phalt street contractors took contracts
with the single idea of holding their
operating forces together and with no
though or expectation of making
money out Of the business.
This condition Of the business,
seemingly Inspired several companies,
using rival paving materials, to put
forth strenuous efforts to cast dlscred-
it upon asphalt- and TO put forth
strenuous efforts to cast discrcdit up
ON Trinidad lake, and to push their
own materials to the front, materials
that We're man mixed, but expen-
slye to the public. Since that time
however the public has had ample
time and opportunity to come to a
fun understanding Of the relative
merits Of all these claimants for pub
lie favors, and today there is scarcely
municipal engineer Of any large eX-
perience, and hardly an observant i'm
lelligent citizen, who has made him
self familiar with street paving work
VINO does not realize and concede that
paving Of Trinidad lake asphalt, in
spite of all these claims made and the
rosy promises given concerning other
asphalt materials, is the very best
pavement in use.

Prof. Charles Zuebln Believes Public Schools Should Teach Art as
 Means of Grace.

Chicago.-That knowing how to guide your toes over a waxed floor Is as important as knowledge of how to use your brains. and that the public schools of Chicago should devote as much time to dancing as to the three R's" is the belief of Prof. Charles Zueblin
 In a lecture on The Fellowship of the Common Life," delivered in the Fullerton Avenue Presbyterian church, Professor Zueblin declared there Is no other form of exercise or class recre- ation so important as dancing, and that 1t is one of the obligations of the public school
 Though not exactly In the religious sense, 1t may be called means of grace" he said. These contributions to our physical nature are always, of course, in danger of being on the verge of misuse. But that does not make them unworthy, any more than the body itself Is unworthy, or that the functions of vision or hearing are unworthy because they are sometimes misused"
 According to Professor Zueblin, the six wants of the human race, which, If attained, will give complete fullness of life, are health, wealth, sociability. taste. knowledge and righteousness
 We cannot build up companion. ship" he said, until we have shorn man of the instinct of segregation Then perhaps we will get to the point where after dinner the women will not go off to themselves, and the men also where they can open up their hearts, since they have been playing at con- versation, shamming during dinner.
 And then, when the men join the ladies, they will not stop talking busi ness, and start talking art, but prob ably continue discussing the things common to all because they will have common interests.
 Our chief characteristic in educa- tion Is overspecialization. We all read a certain number of books of a certain kind. There are the six best sellers, and. of course. we want them. We are
