Austin la confronted with a condition not a Cheory, The
Heavy Onion Shipment.
Special to The Statesman.
Cotulla, Tex., May 7.—The movement
of the onion crop to market is now in
full swing. Although this is only the
second week/of the harvest, the ship-
ments from / this station this week
amounted' to forty-six carloads, which
is seven cars greater than the week
May 21 to 28 last season, when the
rush was at Its height.
Hundreds of men are employed in
the harvest, and the president of the
national bank hero stated to your cor-
restiondent yesterday that an average
of $1500 per day was paid to laborerg.
Harvesting is almost general now,
and next week shipping wi be at it.
height.
The proposition as to whether or not Austin is to have an
Interurban railway to points nouth of here is now ready for
conatderation by our citizens. The proposition la to have
a road running from this city to Lockhart, and it is under-
stood that Austin will be expected to Interest Itself In the
matter to a degree, at least.
That nothing more beneficial to the city generally could
be considered than this proposition appeals with force to
every one who has studied the situation. A road from here
to Lockhart would traverse one of the richest and most
thickly settled sections of central and south Texas, and
would prove a money maker from the very flrat. That the
road of the future is going to be the interurban is a fact
agreeed to by every one, and that Austin is espectally in
need of some such feeders to its business interests should
appeal with emphasis to our people.
If we could once get such policies set in motion we would
have no further trouble in promoting other similar roads.
Once it is demonstrated that the road in question is a paying
proposition, then we need not worry any further regarding
the future. We can rest assured that one road will bring
others, and ere long Austin will be in close and constant
touch with a territory all around it that logically should
trade with Austin, but which is now estranged by reason
of the fact that there are no raliroad«acilities to bring the
trade hero. For this reason. If none other, these Interurban
lines should be built aa speedily as possible and The States-
man trusta the day is not far distant when we will be op-
erating the line to Lockhart

The free conference committee on

are not making their deliberations

from a perfectly reliable source that
they had agreed to allow all deficien-

To this effect many of the members
who dropped into the hall yesterday
expressed themselves.
This arises from three facts, which
are always facts when the session is
long drawn out.
First, the novelty of the situation has
entirely passed away and all the wire
edge has been worn off. The early
days of the legislature are always full
of entertainment to the member. He
is not only full of hope and inspired
with lofty ambition, but he is busy
forming new acquaintances, exchang-
ing views, forming combinations, and
working out his plans to a fine point.
Later on there is nothing to all this,
and he uses both spurs and quirt to
force him on in duty’s path.
Second, the average member always
comes to the legislature, if not with
a pet measure, some favorite bill to
which he is pflge4a. This was the
case with the present, and all such
having been disposed of one way or
another, that personal and special In-
terest in the proceedings has largely
disappeared, and the only concern felt
is general and patriotic.
Third, tho average member and the
great majority have business at home
which suffers in his absence, and after
suffering three or four months’ neglect,
he is anxious to get back to look
after it.
'this is the case with the Twenty-
ninth. Some have clients, others have
farms, stock and banking Interests,
none of which have fared so well while
the proprietor has been in Austin.
Whiesall the senators and represent-
atives are complaining of that tired
feeling, they do not regret the experi-
ence gained during the long and te-
dious session, but on the contrary are
delighted with what they have done,
learned or tried to do.
and then everybody will suffer. The retrenchment policies
that have been applied by the commssion so far are in the
interest of the citzens of Austin in that they adopted these
retrenchment ideas in the hopes that they would not be
forced to raise the rates. The plant is operated for all the
people, not a few. It is, or at least should be, operated
therefore, at the smallest possible outlay. The commission
has taken that view of the cast, and Instead of being handi-
capped by political harrassing. they should receive the
hearty good will and support of every man in the city. In-
stead of being handicapped by a refusal of the council to
help in the hour of emergency, the commission should have
no trouble getting aid from the council The Statesman is
as heartily in favor of a new city hall as any one else, but
if the commission’s statement that they need the money that
is set aside for that purpose and will return it later is
true, which there is no question, then the money ought to
be given them. The city hall is greatly to be desired, but
the other is an absolute necessity of the present and should
receive first attention. The committion should get the lib-
eral support of every one in their management of the plant
their objectionable feature. The girl
who is peculiarly sensitive to this irri-
tation will find lisle gloves lned with
the most supple of Chna silk. Fash-
ionable shades, such as old rose and
old blue, are lined with check silk or
silk embroidered with polka dots or
tiny flowers. Linen mesh gloves, s
popular during the warm months last
year, will be more than ever in evi-
dence this coming summer, and the
stitchings on the back will show most
elaborate handwork in self tone or
contrasting shades.
Hand embroidery has invaded the
realm of silk gloves, as it has that
of every other feminine accessory of
dress. Most exquisite flower designs
cover the backs of the hand on short
gloves or run the length of the arm
on elbow and shoulder gloves. Scal-
lops of buttonholing or flowers finish
the edges, while one fantastic pair
shows a gauntlet finish of leather in
soft pastel shade.

San Marcos, Tex., May 7— News has
been received here of the death of
Moses Cavett at Chickasha, I. T. Ho
leaves a father and several sisters here.
Some years ago he won a medal for
oratory at the State University. HH
early life was spent at Dripping
Springs, in this county, and his death
is greatly deplored because of his ap-
parently promising future.
Waco will speak in the morning, ana
a "Laymen’s Conference” will be held
in the afternoon. There will be a
"Women’s Day,” when papers will be
read in the morning by some of the
representative women workers, and a
conference on “Women’s Work” will be
conducted by the state organizer. Mist
Annie Jenkins, in the afternoon. There
will be a number of addresses on prac-
tical B. Y. P. U. topics by some of the
most active young pastors, such as
Geo. W. Truett, Will A. Hamlett, B. H.
Carroll, Jr., Prince E. Burroughs, Lee
R. Scarborough, and others will be
used.
The afternoons are left open for so-
cial intercourse, for rest and recrea-
tion, and for the outing features. The a
people lounge around under the shade
of the trees and chat together; or nap
in the hammocks while the gulf breeze
keeps them coo); or they engage in
wholesome games; and in the late
afternoon all go to the bath house for
a plunge in the bay, where there is a
good surf, although absolutely no dan-
gerous undertow. The people can stop
at the hotels and boarding houses at
Laporte, two miles distant, and are .
transported bdek and forth by boats
or carriages; or they can put up at the
rooms or tents oh the grounds, and take
their meals at the restaurants; or they
can camp out and provide their own
meals, as provisions and groceries aro
sold on the grounds.
The attendance upon these encamp-
ments is growing with each succeed-
ing year. This year it is expected tht
2000 or 2500 people will attend. The
state executive committee reports flat-
tering prospects, and invites the peo-
ple generally to,join them in this great
religious meetRg combined with a de-
lightful outing.

The work of the present legislature,
last week of its existence, comprised
only a few measures, none of which
can be said to be original measures,
that is measures that have just been
taken up.
The appropriation bill is only to be
called up and finally passed. This will
be done in a few minutes, since the
whole scope of the act has been care-
fully gone over.
The banking bill is one of the meas-
ures on hand, and since it passed
boh houses at the regular session with
very little opposition, and is now be-
fore the legislature merely to make the
caption conform to the body as sug-
gested by the governor , and attorney
general, it will pass both houses with
very little friction, delay or debate.
The bill taxing foreign and home in-
surance companies, another bill before
the legislature this week, Is one that
passed both houses by easy majorities
and was resubmitted by the governor
on account of an error in the caption
which rendered it of doubtful constitu-
tionality. This alleged defect the new
• s, and its passage is not ex-
pected to consume much time.
There are two other local bills to bo
disposed of.
The first is fixing and arranging for
the terms of the district court In the
new county of Terrell. It is back be-
fore the legislature because of the fact
that the president of the senate failed
to sign it.
The other local bill is creating Jack-
sonville Independent school district,
which was invalid owing to the fail-
ure of the caption to express what the
body of the act contained. •
Unless Governor Lanham submits
other matters the only other business
before the legislature is the report of
the free conference committee on the
deficiency bill, and .the report of the
conference committee on the appropria-
tion bill.
The first has been sitting most of

B. H. Coleman of Dallas, secretary
of the Baptist Young People’s Union of
the State, writes The Statesman as
follows In reference to the next en-
campment of that society.
The fourth annual encampment,
which will be the fifteenth annual con-
vention of the Baptist Young People’s
Union of Texas, will be held at "As-
sembly," near Laporte, June113to 22
of this year.
At the eleventh annual convention of
the Baptist Young People's Unjpn of
Texas, held at Bonham in 1901, a
resolution was offered to the effect that
a committee be appointed to arrange
for an encampment the following sum-
mer at some suitable place, where the
people, old as well as young, could meet
under pleasant circumstances for some
days and enjoy "a feast of soul and
rest of body.” In compliance with this
resolution, arrangements were made to
hold an encampment June 13-24, 1902,
in he beautiful grove near Laporte,
on Galveston bay. This first enaemp-
ment, which was an experiment, proved
so pleasant and profitable that at the
next encampment held in 1903 at the
same place steps were taken to pur-
chase grounds for a permanent en-
campment. After thorough considera-
tion and examination a tract of 32 4 10
acres of land, situated about two miles
south of Laporte, on Galveston bay,
was purchased, and last July the or-
ganization was Incorporated "for re-
ligious purposes,” under the name of

This site was selected for several rea-
sons: It was the consensus of opinion
that the location should be on the
coast, because of the attraction of the
salt water bathing, the gulf“ breeze,
etc. This point was found to be the
most accessible coast location In the
state, being only twelve hours run from
Dallas, the cpter of the 225,000 white
Baptist population of the state; whore-
as some points which desired the en-
campment would require a longer ride
than a trip to St. Louls. The prox-

The matter of amending the city charter of Austin so a,
to permit of a leasing of the dam will be submitted to the
legislature this week according to the present understand-
ing. The passage of that amendment into a law means a
great deal for Austin and Ita people, and the .people of
Texas generally. It means thst we will be in a position to
have our dam rebuilt and our water and light plant, which
It U admitted by all has been allowed to run down very
badly, to be rejuvenated and operated to some advantage,
Tne Statesman knows that everyone In Austtin is most
heartily in favor of the proposition to rebuild the dam, and
it is pleased to note that a Way to do that has been pre-
sented In this present proposition. A rebuilding of the
Austin dam is of nuch vast Importance to this section that
nothing should be allowed to stand In the way of a consum-
mation of plans looking to that end. The holders of the
Austin dam bonds are sacrificing nothing n the present In-
stance but are gaining everything of advantage to them,
selves. Their interest will be paid promptly and thelr
bonds paid off when they fall due. Thu promoters of this
project have estimated that they will be able to lay aside
money enough out of the operations of the plant during
the first fifteen years to psy all the dam bond debta and
leave the rest as a percentage upon their lnveetmo.it. 1
thelr figuring is correct, then the bond holders are most
certainly fully protected In the premises.
The project of operating the plant by private manage-
ment. It f• believed, will result in a great reduction of ex-
penses, but that is for the promotera of the proposition
to profit by and is of no concern to the city. The rebuna-
the past week, and the last will be

It is considered a most remarkable,
as well as Interesting Instance of allit-

city council with which to patch up the plant so that It will
now be in a position to be operated. They claim that as it
now stands that it is in such a deplorably bad condition that
it may break down at any time and thereby cut off the
water and light service to the city and its people. They
want the council to allow them the money that has been
set aside for the bullding of a new city hall, and they ask
it because they will either have to get that money or some
other to make needed repairs or have a break down. There
is no reason to question their statement. The members of
the commissilon are interested in the welfare of the city and
Ue people. They are business men and handle matters
along business lines. They recognize the condition of the
plant and must have money to repair it. It is not their
fault that it is in the present condition. They are not say-
ing whose fault it is. They are confronted with facts as
they exist, however, and are trying to face them. Expenses
must be cut down and repairs made. If the expenses are
not cut down the water rates will have to go up. If the
