Last year at the Special Ware

fects seriously the entire cotton crop
of Texas and especially the ginning
industry.
The ginners Of Texas are calling
your attention to the fact that they
have studied carefully. and have dis
cussed openly the effects OF the re-
quirements Of this law and they do
not believe they can do the extra
work required by this law without
being compelled to Increase their
charges at least one dollar bale

cotton. This will represent an extra

 At the time the fire started all three boilers were in use, and driv- ug the engine, which was general ing power for the company's gen. ural operations. The boilers were among the largest in the country of tubular style. It is understood they are apparently in good condi- ticn as ever despite the fire.
 A small corner of the big build ing, on the southwest, was saved. The gold washing room was in that corner, and next to it was the pump room. A portion of the goldwash- ing room was saved.
 One who went out to the fire from the city reports that one of the stacks became very hot while burning out and that was the cause of the wood in the roof igniting, and that the fine pumping plant would have been able to cope with the situation, but for some reason the pumps refused to work in time.
 General Manager J. W. Boyle was present before the fire was out, and took charge of the work, and is now on the job. The flames have not burned down far enough to tell exactly in what shape the engine was left.
 Many Dawson people went out from town in autos. The city fire department was notified, but there
