aDay

Two partners went in business;
one was to receive one-flfth of the
money taken in; the other four
f1fths of the total.
Prior to the division of the re-
ceipts the first partner needed money
and took $50 from the profits as they
then stood. When the time ar
rived for the division there WIS $40
on hand So the second partner took
$40 (four-fifths of the amount re-
moved by the first mani. Then $500
remained, so he took s400 and gave

TT ITIZENS who have complaints
of weeds in their neighbor

names of the property owner, and
inspectors will order property owners
to cut them within FIVE days.

w. B. Schoenrugg of the street

get weeds cut for citizens if the
property owner is known. The city s
funds for weed cutting are exhausted
this year.
Here is what Mr.. Fixit found
today:
MR.. FTXIT-Moreland Ave. be-
tween Wilcox and Vermont SITS, is
almost impossible after a rain. We
would like to have some sort Of i'm
provement before winter. There are
several lots out here where weeds
have not been cut. We would appre-
ciate it if you could have them cut.

The city street commissioner
Office will have the street filled IN
and graded as soon as possible.
You failed to give the name of per-
sons owning lots where weeds are
growing. If you do this, or make
the complaint to the board OF
health, you probably can compel
owners to cut the weeds

road last spring. Has the contract
been let yet? H J. Suess.

Beecher SITS, Sept. 5. Contract
will be let soon after that. Ac-
cording to policy of the street COM

ton. 1t appears that you will
have to wait for paving for per-

1t was during the Fifty-eigAth Con
gress, (190S) that President Roose
welt practically "seired" the site o
the Panama canal.
In June, 1902, Congress had au
thorized the selection Of the Panams
route and the purchase of the claims
of the new Panama Canal Company
and this company was offered $49,'
009, 900 for its property rights in the
unfinished canal.
Negotiations for q right Of way
across the isthmus were begun with
Colombia, the nation to which the
Isthmus Of Panama belonged.
The Hay-Herran treaty was signed
Ia January, 1903. by the terms Of
which the United States agreed to pay
Colombia $40, e00. 900 cash and an
annuity Of $3.50, 600, for the lease of

Washington, d. C., March e. -
Demonstrating that 4 congressman
doesn't need legs, providing he has
brains Representative J. ]. Mansfield
Of the Ninth Texas district, despite
the handicap of wheel chair, has
won place in the House which will
make him chairman of the rivers and
harbors committee, should he be re-
turned and the Democrats have a ma
Jorty in the next Congress. He made
his campaign two years ago from a
wheel chair and plans to do 30 again
this year, expressing the utmost con-
fidence that he will be reelected.
1t was nearly four years ago that
Congressman Mansfield, then serving
his second term in the House, was
stricken with paralytic affliction of
his legs which baffled the best doctors
in Washington. As member of Con-
gress he was entitled to admission for
treatment at the Walter Reed Hos
Lpital and for several months he Law
on bed in that institution while the
most expert surgeons in the army and
navy pondered over and experimental
with his case.
Bulletins were issued from time 10
time indicating he was at the point OF
death but he weathered the storm ev-
cry time. His explanation for it is
that it is hard to kill a Texas who
doesn't want to die. Finally the doc
tors declared the paralysis had been
arrested but could give no assurance
that he would ever regain the use of
those lower limbs. Mansfield, how
ever, was undismayed. He was taken
| home and when Congress reconvened
there. was Mansfield. seated in n
wheel chair, to answer roll calls and
perform all the duties of his office.
No Texan member is more active In
committee work than Mansfield. He
has long held coveted position on
the rivers and harbors committee. one
of the major committees Of the House,
and recently became ranking minority
member. This, under seniority rules.
will make him chairman should the
Democrats win the next House ard
since Texas has more coast line and
undeveloped harbors than any other
state, he feels confident he will be
able to show why he should be re-
turned.
