every convenience necessary for the
comfort of patrons, while the perfect
pictures produced is largely due to
concave screens upon which they are
cast thus securing an effect that can
not be produced by The use of fiat
screens for that purpose. The eff
cient managers of the company's the
atres are: c. j, Munger, at WaXa-
hachie; Roy l.. Long, at Taylor; and
James NJ. Shelton, at Hillsboro. The
people of all the cities composing the
circuit of this company's excellent
theatres are justly enthusiastic over
the high-class and excellent perform
ances given for their entertainment.
The Dixie Amusement Company is
yet in its infancy, but if its plan of
branching out from time to time is
followed, 1t will soon control quite an
EXTENSIVE chain of theatres in the most
progressive towns of Texas.

the very best in the State. They may
not be richer than in some other Sec

No great city OF modern days has
been built without the intelligent, ca
pable and well directed energies Of
supervising directorate in the form OF
commercial clubs, boards of trade or
other publicity organizations whose
officers and membership comprehend
ed men OF seasoned judgment, bust
ness acumen, untiring energy, and un-
excelled administrative and executive
ability. In the official roster and
membership of the Bryan Commercial
Club is found an apt illustration of the
species of talent necessary to the sue
cessful advancement of a city and it's
environments for which nature has
done all else except exploit to the
world in mastery fashion the excep-
tional advantages and rare opportun-
tiles which await those who cast their
fortunes and destinies in its favored
locality.
The Bryan Commercial Club was Or
ganized three years ago-for three
years has labored energetically, intel
ligently, and increasingly for the best

The tremendous development In this
county in the last few years is but
the result OF natural resourceful
force. With all her advantages in agri-
culture, industry, commerce and trans
portation, 1t only needed the exercise
OF intellectual energy to bring out a
most remarkable transformation. The
intelligent energy was obtained
through the perfectly harmonious ef-
forts upon the part of the best and
most progressive business element OF
Bryan, the county seat, assisted by the
thrifty farmers of the county.
The very first move in this great
transformation was the establishment
OF an adequate power plant to supply
an abundance Of light and water.
Recognizing the fact that city must
begin building by laying firm founda-
ton, which is its water and light, the
first energetic effort of united citi-
zenship was to this end. Today all
Bryanites point with pride to the splen-

did water and light system, munich
pally owned. This was accompanied
by splendid sewer system which
covers large proportion of the con-
gested portion of the city, insuring a
perfectly sanitary condition.
The municipal ownership of the wa
ter and light system has rendered a
saving of exactly % per cent to the
consumer over the old system, and at
the same time affords substantial
profit to the city.
The merchants and business men
joined in the general crusade for an
improved condition and the result is a
complete transformation OF the bust
ness district. The antiquated build
ings nearly all have been remodeled
with modern design. A large number
of modern business blocks have been
constructed and more are in course OF
construction or contemplated. Three
hundred beautiful new homes have
been constructed and something like
two miles Of concrete sidewalks laid
in the last two years. Allen Academy
Bryan Baptist Academy and Villa
Maria have each constructed an addi-
tional brick dormitory.
The extension of the interurban
into the rich Brazos bottom, placing
that fertile territory for thirty miles
within an hour of Bryan, means much
for the future commerce of the al
ready prosperous city, which is justly
called the Queen of Central Texas.
Bryan is distinctly city of schools,
having one Of the finest educational
systems in the State. In addition to
the public schools, there are Allen
Academy, a preparatory school for
boys; the Bryan Baptist Academy,
villa Maria Ursuline Academy, and the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College. Bryan has an educational sys-
tenn that will meet every demand,
from the smallest beginner to the fin
ished product in technical or literary
training. Many people are coming to
Bryan for the benefit Of Its splendid
schools.

U.-O. MILLAGE TAX BILL
PASSES UPPER HOUSE

Salem. Or, Feb. "a. - With only
three negative votes, the senate passed
the bill providing for a millage tax
for the support Of the University of
Oregon. beginning with the year 1915.
This is to be followed with a similar
bill for the upkeep Of the agricultural
college.
The bill levies a tax of three-tenths
of one mill, which on the basis Of the
present assessed valuation of the state
will raise 1910, 900 a year. This is to
be in lieu of all other support, the
present cintinuing appropriations to be
discontinued in 1915, together with all
legislative appropriations after that
date. This is practically the bill vot-
ed on last November, so far as the
millage basis is concerned, but with
the plan of combining the board of re-
gents of the university and agricultural
college eliminated.
Miller, Moser, Malarkey and Day
spoke warmly in favor of the bill, and
Wood against. The last named, with
Dimick and Kellaher. cast the mega
tive votes.

apparent effect of this was to make

BULL MOOSE ORGAN ON
FUSION IN OHIO COUNTY

The Louisville Herald Estate Pro-
gressive organ) says:
In the conclusion of its comment
on the fact that Progressives and
Republicans have fused in Ohio
county, the Post says: THE fact
of Importance in this movement is
that the Progressives of Ohio coun-
" pay no attention whatever to the
daily instructions from Louisville,
conveyed by the Herald from the
local Progressive Club"
The Post fatters us. Modesty
requires that we restate THE fact
of importance" thus:
The Progressives of Ohio county
pay no attention to the strong rec
concentration Of the State commit
tee of the Progressive party and the
Judgment OF the conference Of state
Progressives, to the effect that there
should be no fusion with other pO-
liticaI parties.
In it's opposition to fusion the
Herald has simply voiced the unan-
imous opinion of the State commit
tee, with which, so far as We know,
the Progressive Club is in entire
harmony.
