In Memoriam.
Little Mildred. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. d. r. Clere, passed from
life unto death at her home Thurs
day night. She had been sick two
weeks and her condition not being
considered as serious at it really
was caused her death to be a shock
to even the closest neighbors. She
had always been of pleasant,swee'
smiling disposition. And being only
nine years of age, was more intelll
gent then most children are at tha
age. Everyone, friends as we'll az
relatives, have hearts full of grie
over the loss of little Mildred. Rev
j. A.. Williams, Methodist pastor
of Pollard, conducted the funera
services. The remains were laid t
rest in Coalition cemetery.

SURVEYOR GUINN's COMMENT
Recent Decision in Court Of
Criminal Appeals ELECTS Com
ment From County Surveyor

Lubbock, Tex, Oct. n, 1913.
To the Avalanche.
Referring TO the comment made
in the Dallas News, with regards
TO action of the Court of Appeals
at Austin in the Post case. It
will be remembered that a copy
of a letter from me along this
subject was published in the
Avalanche several months ago.
and that this decision bears out
the exact position then taken.
but that the people may fully ap-
preciate the Importance Of this
decision ! want 10 discuss from
the actual records OF the facts.
Just what the school fund Of
Texas has been, and will be
saved by the adherance TO this
decision.
II will be noted. that the con-
structiOn OF a law passed in
1887 was the leading issue. and
so few people know anything
about this law. il will be neces-
sary to again give the general
outline and results Of this law.
During that period, Texas had
a great area of unappropriated
public domain. She had many
thousand acres Of land but could
not find any purchasers, and
when a purchaser was found.
Texas was unable 10 employ sur
yeyors 70 survey the land out
Consequently very little survey
ing was done. a few base lines
were run and great scope Of
country was surveyed upon
paper from those base lines.
Naturally many errors were
made. many conflicts existed.
and as the land was so cheap.
the State did not feel able 10
hire surveyors to straighten out
matters Consequently there

point special State surveyors %

all the resurveys under the acts
of 1897 invalidated. In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Smedley CAS-
sistant Attorney General,) he
estimated that there had been
something like million acres Of
land appropriated under this act
throughout the western portion
of the State. Putting a very
low and conservative estimate of
the value Of this land, we have
10 the credit Of the school fund
OF Texas ~ million dollars. or
about one.third the value Of the
present value Of the school fund
In Texas.
Think Of the magnitude of this
proposition. All the fines col
lected from oil suits, railroad
consolidation suits. etc, in Texas
is very insignificant compared
with this sum. Besides IL takes
land that rightly belongs to the
people. and makes this land sub
ject to settlement and improve.
ment. Il increases our taxable
values, and RECEIVERS land that
has undoubtedly been appro-
priated through graft and trick

Should our ATTORNEY General
never do another service for
our State, he has accomplished
enough in this one particular
course to forever make his name
sacred to the posterity OF our

partment. | am more familiar
with his efforts in that direction
than the ordinary citizen. and |
know that hrs efforts TO secure
this construction of the 1897
law has been unceasing and I'M
compromising. Several of our
lawyers here have been very
active and instrumental in this
question, as also have many of
our citizens.
When the people of Texas
awaken TO what this decision
means, it is going to play a very
important part in our politics.
Let them look well, give
credit to those deserving, and
Oust tnose VINO nave made such
conditions possible.
The common people are be-
coming educated and wise to
trickery and graft, and the day
of graft in Texas is day when

capes detection.

FRANCE LAUNCHES TWO NEW
WARSHIPS AND BEGINS DOCK

Paris, France.-The two sister
dreadnoughts La Provence and La
Bretagne have just been launched. the
former at Lorient and the latter at
Brest in the presence of NJ. Baudin,
the minister of the navy. Immense
crowds collected at both places to see
these monster ships take the water
and to commemorate the progress
latterly made in French shipbuilding
The navy department have so revo-
lutionized their construction yards as
to be able now to compete success
fully with other countries in the
building of dreadnoughts, and to
complete in less than three years the
largest type of battleship afloat. The
minister specially complimented the
engineers and men at both places on
their success, and thanked them for
the loyalty of their efforts which had
so practically demonstrated the i'm
mense development in French ship
building.
Another interesting feature of the
occasion was the laying of the first
stone of new craving dock at Lo-
rient, which viii permit OF the dock
ing of the largest type dreadnought
up to in fact $4,000 tons capacity The
greatest public enthusiasm was dis
played at the launching in spite Of
some organized opposition on the
part of the socialists which at Brest
extended even to the mayor. a we'll
known socialist, who refused to off
cially receive the minister
The opposition. however, was of a
very limited character.
