THE LAND COMMISSIONER IS
ADVISED OF A BAD STATE OF
AFFAIRS EXISTING IN WEST-

For ten years, and even longer, every
time a measure has been proposed in
fhe legislature, a fiery debate has been
precipitated, culminating in acrimony
and intense personal feeling. Disin-
terested and conservative statesman-
ship is needed in the next legislature
to settle this vexatious question for
all time, or until the state goes out
of the land business.

Dear Sir-— A movement is on foot to sprinkle the Speedway from the Capitol to Avenue G (which is
two blocks in Hyde Park), a distance of two miles and two blocks. The Speedway is a well made drive
and should be thoroughly sprinkled morning and evening every day of the year (Sundays included).
If not done it can not be kept in first class shape, and will constantly grow more dusty, i
To properly sprinkle the Speedwey it will require the constant use of two large sprinkling wagons;
seven or eight standpipes will have to be put up along the route.
The cost of the two sprinkling wagons, six heavy horses, four sets of harness, and the standpipes
will be about 81,350 to 81,400. The public is not expected to pay for this equipment, but no practical
man would go to the expense of fitting up to do the work under less than a two-years’ contract.
A practical street sprinkling man has proposed to enter into a two-year contract to keep the Speed-
way thoroughly sprinkled (under my direction) for $1,800 per year, payable $150 per month, the Water
to be furnished to him free of cost
Estimating the cost of water at $10 per mon th and a boy to look after collecting the subscriptions at
$20 per month, would make the total cost per month $180, or $2,160 per year.
It is expected to raise this money by subscrip tion, the subscriber agreeing to pay a certain amount
each month or each quarter, for the term of two years. It would seem reasonable to expect all people
who drive regularly for pleasure to subscribe $1.50 to $2.00 per month; automobile owners,.$2.00 to
$2.50 per month, and people living on the route to pay according to frontage. A fair estimate would be
3 to 4 cents per front foot on the west side of the drive and 2 to 3 cents per front foot on the east side
of the drive, per month.
A much less rate would raise the required mo ney if everybody benefited would subscribe (and then
pay), but a man who would expect that would not have sense enough to run a sprinkling cart. There-
fore, if you wish to have the Speedway sprinkled and kept in good shape, subscribe liberally. An
accurate account of receipts and expenditures will be published every six months, and due credit will
be given to subscribers if there is a surplus (bo oka open to all at all times). An effort will be made to
get as many to subscribe as possible so as to reduce the cost to each.
There will be no expenses outside of those above named.
It will require some weeks to get ready to begin sprinkling after the money is subscribed, and at best,
it will take some time to get the amount subscr ibed. It is to be hoped that the people who live on the
Speedway, and those who drive on it, will respond promptly and liberally. If they do, the sprinkling
can be commenced about October 1, and from then on you will have a magnificent drive, and North
Congress avenue will be one of the meet delig htful residence streets in this city.
If the citizens will pay for the sprinkling, Y will keep the Speedway as smooth as any asphalt street.
If it is NOT sprinkled I can not keep it in order, and will have to abandon the care of it, and that
means that our beautiful drive will soon be a wreck.
And, reader, please bear in mind that it is no small task to raise this money by small subsoriptions.
Help to persuade other, to subscribe. Send us your name, and names of those you know who are
friendly to this movement. A subscription car d will then be sent for each person to SU in and aiga.

Probably the largest project of the
past week has been the extension of
the floor space of Mistrot’s big store.
The extension of twenty-five feet t<
the rear, giving an additional space ol
25x56 feet, became necessary to make
room for one of *he largest shoe de-
partments in the state. Mr. Williams
the manager of the store, stated yes-
terday in an Interview that his im-
mense stock, consisting of 320,000 wortl
of fine shoes, would arrive about Oc-
tober 1, and that the stock will be an
excellent one, as only the very best
makes will be included in the ship-
ment.
This extension gives his big store a

that the figure on the inside of the

However, as the blankets and com-

Judge J. J. Terrell, commissioner of
the general land office, has just re-
ceived some letters from the west
which reveals the fact that a most
desperate condition of affairs prevails
among the purchasers of the public
lands.
Under the present law it is a ques-
tion of who files his application to
purchase with the county clerk first,
this priority settling all applications,
and these applications must be filed
after the lease contmct expires or the
land placed on the market for sale.
In order to avoid the rush as much
as possible the county clerks in coun-
ties where there is desirable lands,
before they come on the market builds
a chute from the window or door of
his office, in which all prospective
purchasers must take position.
Judge Terrell is informed that some
men have occupied positions in these
chutes since last April and in some
counties for more than a year waiting
for land to be placed on the market
Position in these chutes is the one de-
sirable thing, as the man nearest the
window or door files first, and here is
where the trouble arises.
W. T. Childress of Batesville, county
clerk of Zavala county writes that on
last sales day the whole community
came very near being Involved in be-
rious trouble, in which many Uvea
would have been sacrificed but for the
interposition of cooler heads.

states on last sales day in that county

Tho State Purchasing Agent Is Being
Kept Very Busy.
State purchasing agent Anderson
says he is now receiving requisitions
for supplies from the various state In-
stitutions in sluices and showers.
Many of these requisitions are for
articles not included in the contracts
awarded, and are what he terms "fill
in orders,” which increases the ag-
gregate many thousands of dollars.
However, 1e not too late for a
"change ofhent"n.rmombar
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
will give th® heertstrensth andvitalty
sramble for the most advantageous
position in th® chut®, one his knee dis-
located, another several ribs broken,
and score® sustained other personal
injuries. A clash of arms was moet
narrowly averted, in which a dozen
m might have lost their lives.
This is bad enough, but by no means
the worst view of the ituatlon. This
fierce contest engenders furious per-
sonal antagonisms, divides the people
in parties and will bring about feuds
among the people that will last for
fifty years, as they have in Kentucky
and Tennessee, unless th® participants
are killed sooner; and even then it
may be, as has been the case in other
states, taken up by the sons and fam-
ilies of those among whom it origi-
nated and prolonged indefinitely.
The same desperate state of affairs
that preyalls in Ector and Zavala pre-
vails in other counties where there is
public lan, and to a state of turbu-
lence and danger may be said to cover
a good part of th® west, brought about
by th® present land policy of the
state.
Judge Terrell has very little power
to remedy the evil under the present
law; he can, however, fix the price on
the land as the leases expire, and he
is seriously considering the wisdom of
fixing it at >5 or >7 per acre. This of
course would be almost prohibitive,
and would therefore stop tfie present
disgraceful soramble. The purpose he
has in view in considering this plan,
is to practically withdraw the land
from the market until the Twenty-
ninth legislature convenes and make
an effort to Induce that body to pass a
concurrent resolution suspending sales
entirly for sixty or ninety days until
proper remedial legislation can be
fornaulated and passed.
Chertainly something must be done,
fo the state can not afford to be the
caue, or the party to the scenes now
'delng enheted every time a tract of
public land is placed on the market
for sale.
