ent of the Fort Worth division of the
International & Great Northern rail-
road with headquarters at Mart has
been in the city for the past two days
looking over the Iiryan yards with a
view of making improvements prepar-
atory to handling the greatly Increased
business exjected. The principal pur-
pose of Mr. Whlttington's visit was to
locate the switches to be built to the
Hour mill and power plant. He was
accompanied by Resident Engineer
George Jarvis who made t he neces-
sary surveys and left today for Pales-
tine where blue prints of the switches
will be prepared.
While in the city the officers of the
Commercial Club discussed with Mr.

on a passenger train between Iiryan

stated that he would take the matter
up with the head offices and would do
everything possible to secure the serv-
ice. He Btated further that he thought
that after August 1 a mixed train
could be run between Bryan and Val-
ley Junction nrrivlng at Hryan at. 8
a. m. and returning at 5 p. m.
This service has been desired by the
business men of Bryan and the resi-
dents of the bottom for some time.

made it was sure to prove such a pay-
ing proposition that It would be made
permanent.

Laredo. Texas. March 10. It was
feared just following the cold snap In
January that the onion crop had been
injured. The tops of the onions were
slightly frosted in some localities but
this did not injure the crop except to
retard the growth and make the har-
vest a few days later. Last year about
7000 cars. In round numbers of Ber-
muda onions were shipped out of
Southwest Texas. This year it Is main-
tained that this production will be al-
most doubled.

Illinois Court Wants to Know What
Became of Famous Bank Deposit
Slip Which He Read in His
Lorimer Speech.
By Associated Press.
Springfield. 111.. March 11. A sub-
poena of duce3 tecum has been issued
for United States Senator Joseph W.
Bailey of Texas summoning him as
a witness in the case of the state of
Illinois against Senator Broderick
charged with buying votes for Lori-
mer. The cause of the subpoena Is the
loss of the famous State Bank of Chi-
cago deposit slip which Senator
Bailey read In the senate and which
he afterwards could not find.
The Correct View of It.
We do not know whether it wa3 a
grandstand political play or not. that
tendered resignation of Senator Bailey.
To be liberal with him and possibly
unduly fair we are going to admit his
absolute' sincerity in it. It is all we
have a right to do unless we had proof
to the contrary. Of course we could
surmise speculate and theorize and
by circumstantial evidence make out
a good esse to the contrary. But this
we are not going to do.
We believe Bailey thought that he
ought to do just what he did do. He
acted on one of those first impressions
which is nearly always both risht and
honorable. With this premise we are
going to maintain that Bailey did just
what any honorable man In his place
should have done resigned.
Whenever a public official is out of
harmony with his party the party that
honored him and trusted him he ought
to resign. It is the only right and hon-
orable tiling for him to do whether he
is serving as a senator or representa-
tive either in congress or the legisla-
ture. And there is nothing plainer or
clearer than that Bailey is out of har-
mony with his party colleagues in the
senate and in congress.
la spite of his great intellect and
his once great prominence he stands
today discredited by his party asso-
ciates and deposed as their leader.
This may be deplorable but it Is true.
He stood practically alone In his de-
fense of Lorimer and stood more near-
ly alone in opposing the admission of
Arizona to statehood. Under these
circumstances unless he was self-
abased unless his spirit and ambition
had left him there was no right thing
for Bailey to do hut resign. And hav-
ing resigned he should not have per-
mitted a lot of satellites to have
dimmed the lustre of the act by caus-
ing him to reconsider and withdraw
his resignation. Tyler Courier-Times.

Fifty-seven Trains Loaded with Men
and Army Equipments Have
Arrived in Last Two Days.
.Special to The Hryan KjkIi?.
San Antonio Texas March 10.
Within the past two days forty-seven
trains of au average of ten coaches
each have arrived in this city liearing
almost 20000 United States soldiers
ordertd here to participate in the
greatest military practice ever at-
tempted in any country in times of
peace. In addition to the trains bear-
ing men more than twenty trains have
arrived carrying army equipments.
3uch as horses field artillery signal
corps appurtenances wireless tele-
graphic machines such as are in use
in the military department and every-
thing that would be carried by an
army mobilizing for active hostilities.
While the war department is posi-
tive In its statement that this mobil-
ization of one-fourth of the strength of
the regular army is for the purpose of
military maneuvers the rumor is per-
sistent that Uncle Sam Is taking the
initial step in Mexican intervention.
Mexicans In this city holding official
positions under the direction of their
government deny most emphatically
that Mexico is not In a position to
take care of Its own affairs.

HOLES FIFTY FEET DEEP MARK
SITES OF BUILDINGS.
By Associated Press.
Pleasant Prairie Wis. March 10.
One of the most terrific powder explo-
sions on record occurred here last
night when three mills of the Hupont-
Nemours com puny exploded. The
shock was felt in seven states. Only
one prson was killed outright but two
hundred were injured as the debris
of their wrecked homes fell on them
in an amazing fashion.
Only three holes each fifty feet
deep mark the sites of the three mag-
azines. One hole broke into an arte-
sian vein and is half full of water al-
ready. Every house in this village which is
a mile from the explosion is wrecked.
Everything is strew n about the ground
In such condition that there was
scarcely a bite left to eat this morn-
ing and the village people moved in a
calvacade to the next town.
Superintendent Brady of the pow-
der works though blown through the
roof of a building will live.

"Austin. Texas March 10. The
house this morning passed the house
resolution for a siecial tax for the
Confederate women's home and for
Confederate pensions. It voted down
an amendment to the measure for
cities to levy a school tax. It killed
the Singleton bill providing that Con-
federate pensioners may own $2500
worth of property by postponing it
indefinitely.
The house has less than twenty sen-
ate bills on its calendar. The senate
has thirty-one house bills on it3 calen-
dar. The senate passed the bill to pre-
vent the pollution of streams by sew-
age. Governor Colquitt today vetoed the
bill for the appropriation of $150000
to build a cotton factory at the Rusk
penitentiary because he says there
are no funds and the factory should
if built be located at Gatesville for
the juvenile prisoness.
It is now believed Governor Colquitt
will reconvene the legislature in spe-
cial session Monday to pass the ap-
propriation bills. It will cost less now
than after the legislators have gone
home.
United States Senator Bailey tele
graphed to Senator Cofer today that
Senator Lorimer. at his (Bailey's) re-
quest had the $23000 expense item
removed from the appropriations bill.

here last night.
Texas land is the cheapest land In
the world today considering Irs pro-
' ductive capacity but its value is stead-
j ily increasing and the opportunities
I for land investment are growing less
'and less as the sta'e drvelops. Home-
seekers from the older states and from
Europe have been pouring into Texas
as never before .in the history of the
state during the past year and the
idle lands are gradually becoming set-
; tied up and the matter of procuring a
home in Texas is easier now than will
;be the case in a few years.
i
The greatness of the area cf the
(state of Texas may be more fully'
i recognized when it is said that if the
'entire population of the United States
'were to move to Texas the state would
not be as densely populated as !s the
commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Texas steer scales tariff walls
of foreign countries with as much ease
as his ancestor climbed an ordinary
farm fence. During 1910 the United
State3 exported S24.SS2.863 of packing
house products (beef) and Texas cat-
tle are the prime factors in Uncle
Sam's meat fleet. The Texas steer is
as much at home traveling in a tin
can on an ocean liner as he is on a
special fast freight train and he is
welcomed in every market in the
world.
There are no more progressive citi-
zens on the globe than the native
Texan and he is by nature a builder
but the task of developing the state is
far too great for the present genera-
tion to see completed. To acquire the
population that Massachusetts now
has per square mile we would need
110.000000 people instead of 4000.000.
We must look to the stork and the
immigration agent to increase our
population.
