street: Congress Avenue. Along this
thoroughfarc were situated the con-
Gressional halls Of the nation. At the
head of this avenue, on the crest of a
commanding hill, is the present state
capitol. It's architecture, like that of
many other state capitols, is largely
borrowed from the Capitol at Wash
ington, and it is almost as extensive,
being the largest of the As state
houses.
Texas being sovereign nation,
was the only one Of the states to re-
serve for itself it's public domain. One
of the important state functions,
therefore, has been the maintenance
of q Land Office like that of the Fed
eral Government. The state capitol
is a monument to this unique condi-
ton, for the state was able to obtain
it's huge. government building without
the expenditure Of n cent Of money by
'barterihG' to n construction syndicate
tract of 100000 acres. This was a
negligible portion of the public do
main, though it covered an area more
than twice the size of Delaware. 1t
was kept intact for years by it's pri-
vate owners and constituted the most
extensive cattle ranch in existence.
Has Huge Dam
"The present day Austin is credited
with resident population of $4,000
but the presence of 5000 students Of
the State University and the inmates
of more than half dozen state insti-
tutions carries the total. during the
greater part Of the year to the $4,000
mark.
Across the gorge of the Colorado
river just west of Austin is one of the
| largest Of American dams, which
forms in the mountain trimmed canyon
lake 80 miles long. 1t was con-
structed by the municipality as q
source of water and power, but with
the numerous mountain streams emp
tying into it, it constitutes a popula-
ton playground as we'll The break
ing of the dam a decade and half
ago is the only other natural calamity
that has befallen the city. The losses
were confined to the river bottoms.
Since then the structure has been re-

MORMON AT THE HELM.
Federal Government Drifting Into
Strange Straits,

Because Senator Porter j. McCum-
Der was beaten in the North Dakota
primaries, writes n Washington CORE
spondent Of the New York World, n
Mormon apostle can claim the chair
manship of the finance committee of
the United States senate at the eXpira-
ton Of McCumbcr's term next year.
This craftsmanship, the most power
full and influential in the senate, will
be inherited by Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah by right Of seniority. And this
right, in the courteous, conservative
senate, has been almost as immutable
as the laws of the Medes and Persians.
Reed Smoot is second in length of
service on the mighty finance commit
tee, and Mr.. Smoot is so high in the
Mormon church that iF two mcn--both
aged; one fI'ail-should die, he, again
by right of seniority, would become
the prophet, seer and revclator' OF
that church in succession to Joseph
Smith, Brigham Young and others less
famous.
Only one of the twelve Mormon
apostles rank Reed Smoot in age of or
dination, Rudger Clawson. Under the
strict rules of succession in the Nor
mon hierarchy the eldest ordained
apostle is the president of the Apos-
tolic Quorum, and on the death Of the
president of the Latter Day Saints he
automatically moves up to the First
Presidency. Mr.. Clawson is said to be
far from robust.
President Ieber Grant, however
though sixty years old, is as sound
physically as he is keen mentally, SO
while Senator SmOot may in the course
of nature become the president Of the
twelve apostles within a comparative
ly short time, he may not head the
church during his present term, which
expires in 1927.
When he comes to be First Presidcn'
! however, with the tremendous respon-
| sibilitics and cxacting duties of that
post, he must quit the senate, for nc
human being could discharge the func'
tions of the two offices.
McCumber, Smoot and La Toilette o.
Wisconsin-such is the ranking on th'
Republican side of the finance com
mittce. So the Republicans of that au'
gust body are not behind the Mormon
church in praying for long life to tIrs
President Heber Grant. For if Smoo
were called back TO Utah, they Woui'
face the dilemma OF accepting th'
radical from Wisconsin to lead INT

HISTORIC WORLD CAPITAL
Austin Texas Enjoys Unique DlStinC,
ton.
ONCE RECEIVED FOREIGN MINISTERS

Biggest OIdtenOuSe ii |hS' IVA
Three Million Acres for the Erec-
ton of the Capitol-Water Sup
piled from Great Dam.
Austin, third Texas city to be
imperiled by the forces of nature in
little more than n week, has played
an important, but not generally
known, part in American history
says a bulletin from the Washington,
d. c., headquarters of the National
Geographic Society, in regard to the
capital of Texas, the outskirts of
which were struck by cyclone.
"When Washington, capital of the
United States, was little more than
village of mud streets between 1886
and 1886" says, the bulletin, Austin
was a similar world capital the seat
of government of the independent Re-
public Of Texas which for ten years
existed as the fellow nation of the
United States. Ministers and special
envoys were accredited to the Re-
public by the United States and half
dozen or more of the leading nations
OF Europe; and the forms and amen
tiles of world diplomacy were carried
out punctiliously in the little capital.
Most Of the legations have been
| torn down now to make way .for
modern buildings, but traditions still
lingcr of the efforts of the French
and British ministers to gain the
greater influence with the young re-
public, and of the watchfulness of the
representative Of the United States
to see that no loopholes were created
| to facilitate an attack on the Monroe
Doctrine. Descendants of some OF the
families of the diplomats arc resi-
dents of the city today.
Selected Like District of Columbia
Like the District of Columbia, Aus
tin was located by special commits
sioncrs charged to select n creditable
site for the future seat of the repub-
lies government. This was immedi-
ately after independence had been
won from Mexico. They chose q
tract on the Colorado River among
gently rolling hills just below where
the stream breaks from Il range OF
low mountains. SO the modern city
set on its series OF heights, has for q
background great sweep Of purple
hills that adds greatly TO its scenic
attractivcness.
"But these hills have more utili.
tartan aspect than that of pictur'
csque setting for the capital of Tex
rs. In past geologic times a trcmen'
tiuus cataclysm occurred which form
cd 500 foot cliff for 500 miles acros:
Texas along the line Of the eastern
edge of these now rounded hills. Thi!

been discovered nearly all of thu
great Texas oil fields that have spout

''This is one Of the conditions which
the union seeks to perpetuate by a re-
fusal to consent that it's justice be
passed on by an impartial arbitration" :"
The publishers contend that in the
past all questions unfavorable to
their interests have been submitted
to arbitration, while questions deemed
by the union to be unfavorable TO
it's side were not submitted to an i'm
partial body if covered in any Of
the unions laws"
The publishers have always pro-
tested against this one-sided and
manifestly unfair restriction" thej
statement says. but have accepted
even this limited arbitration rather
than the alternative Of no arbitration
on any issue of any kind.
They therefore now declare that
they will no longer agree that bur-
dens of this sort shall continue to be
imposed upon them by the expedient
OF removing the law of the union
from the scope of arbitration: that
the arbitration shall be a genuine one
in which parties are on a parity. and
which gives neither the advantage
Of imposing its unrestricted will on
the other"
Officials of the union could not be
reached tonight, but it was said at
headquarters of local No. 6 of the
International typographical Union
that nothing was known of a refusal
to arbitrate the bogus" requirement

responded with such enthusiastic an

that the young artist was forced to
give two encores. ~
Mr.. Smith, baritone, invested his
selections with special interest by
giving brief explanations before each.
His voice is powerful and perfectly
