plied with natural gas is now but a
matter of time, according to Secretary
G. E. Montgomery of the Arlington

proof of the realisation of the asser-
tions of Mr. Montgomery is the fact
that natural gas has already been
struck by the company at 365 feet at
its well. twelve miles from Mineral

granted to the company in Mineral

Fort Worth and Dallas as well as the
two smaller citles.
The oompany has leased a tract of
100,000 acres and proposes to drill six
or eight wells, two of which are now
being put down.
About eight years ago gas was dis-
covered at 800 feet by a company of
men who were drilling for oil on the
same tract of land. and learning of this,
leases were secured by the realty com-
pany. and plans are now on foot for
supplying the towns of the surrounding
country with the gas One of the wells
now being sunk is near the site of the
old ofl well and the second is about
half a mile from this.

It is learned that W. E. Green, the

will bring his chief clerk. James Beat-

change, however, will not be made until
about two weeks from the present,

Mr. Beattie has been chief clerk to
Mr. Green for the past five years, dur-

with President F. H. Britton of the
Cotton Belt when Mr. Britton went to

w F Sterley general freight agent
of the Fort Worth & Denver, who man-
tifests a keen interest in the agricultural
development of the Panhandle country,
has received a copy of the report of the
co-operative forage crop work between
the United States depertment of agri-
culture and the state experiment .sta-
tion, Chillicothe, Texas, for 1906. from
which is gleaned the following inter-
esting information:
The co-operative forage crop investi-
gations at Chillicothe, Texas, between
the United States department of agri-
culture and the Texas experiment sta-
tion has the year 1906 to a great ex-
tent duplicated the investigations or
last season. This has involved the
growing of about 800 crops with A view
toward getting together the varieties
best adapted to this section. These
were 450 sorghums, 17 alfalfas. 45 COW,
peas, 80 mungs, 10 soys, 31 cetchea, 8
guars, 14 grasses and 18 corns. Along
this duplicated varietal work, special
and careful selection** have been made
from a forage standpoint from all the
varieties of sorghums which gave most
promise in 1905. These selections were
grown last season, and from them in
turn other selections have been made
for plantings in 1807. The selections
made from last season s crop have given
such promising results as to possibili-
ties along this line that this work !•
being pushed with the greatest possible
care.
Besides the varietal and selection
work with sorghums the station has
been able to get fairly accurate yields
both of forage and grain on some twen-
ty-five sorghums. It has alse been able
to get accurate field yields on about
twelve of the sorghums at Chillicothe.
Only a few yields of legun crops were
obtainable.
Last season was one of heavy crop
production, though on the whole, lighter
than the season of 1908. Heavy rain
throughout the blooming period of the
sorghums caused many not to set heav-
ly with seed. The heaviest rainfall in
thirty-six hours was 4.55 Inches on
July' 25-26. Rain was distributed.

Sumac is declared to be without doubt
the most valuable of the forage sor-
glaums grown at Chillicothe. it is a
heavy forage yielder and its stems are
juicy and sweet.
In regard to alfalfa, the work thus
far indicates: (1) That this crop should
never be spring-seeded in this section.
(2) That the latter part of August is
probably the most desirable seeuing
time. (8) That good Kansas or Texas
grown seed will give as good or better
. results this section than any im-

As a result of the rapid development
of Fort Worth and the necessity for
more business houses, another Main
street landmark, between Ninth and
Tenth streets, must go. It is the small
structure on the east side of the street,
near the middle of the block, the sjte
of which was recently purchased for
$21,000 by A. J. Long for the Sandegard
Grocer company. As soon as the build-
ing has been razed, a three-story brick
will be erected and will be used for
promising sorghums a large number of
selections have been made from indi-
vidual plants. The wheats, corns and
grasses require further testing. The soy
beans have proved errtirely worthless
so long as the rabbits infest this sec-
tion. The vetches planted as spring
crops have proved absolutely worthless.
The station has been able to eliminate
a large number of the poorer varieties
and crops and can in the coming sea-
son's work, devote a great part of the
time to these leading varietles.
Conclusions are drawn and minute
instructions and advice given, and when

The grand jury is probing into the
fee records of former county officers
running back for a period of several
years. The body convened Monday
morning and among other aots appoint-
ed a finance committee of -three to in-
vestigate all the county’s finanolal af-
faire and to check up the fee settle-
ments and other compensation received
by county officials.
■■The committee went at the work in-
dustriously and has made some iscov-
eries of overpay.
In one case by errors in recording
and disbursing fees, an official received
about $8,500 more than hie due under
the law and he has returned it to the
treasury.
In another case the committee
claims that the aggregate of overpay
amounts to about $14,000 in this case
the official contends that he received
only what the law allowed.
In stlll another case there >8 a dis-
pute over an exofeio salary allowance
made by the commissioners' court. The
committee has not yet found warrant
in law for the allowance and if none is
cited will recommend lvil action to re-
cover. (b
One county official received alto-
gether about $16,000 a year for a period
of four years. He contends that the
entire amount was received according
to the terms of the statute.
There is no suggestion of misappro-
priation or criminal conduct. The dif-
ferences grow out of construction of
the statutes covering fees.

lector, and of James H. Maddox as city
marshal. It also declared that the
commission charter had carried by a
majority vote of the citizens and was
in force and effect from that time.
If the report had stopped there, the
meeting would have passed off without
any of the explosions which have
characterised some of the council meet-
ings in the past. However, the report
carried a clause setting forth that the
mayor would proceed to call an elec-
tion for a mayor and four commisslon-
era at sueh time as he might see fit.
When this was read Aiderman Waggo-
man hastily arose to his feet and ex-
claimed : . <
"Your Honor, I move that we strike
out that part of the report authoris-
ing the mayor to call an election when
he sees fit. I think that the council
has just as much right to name that
day as the mayor has, and inasmuch az
Mr. Lehane is not here and he has a
right to vote on the matter, I again
move that that portion of the report be
stricken out.”
"I think,” replied Mayor Harris slow-
ly. "that that part of the report is
gratuitous”
At thle point a great light seemed to
break over Mr. Waggoman and he add-
ed: "Unless the charter says that the
mayor shall call the election and set
the day.” ..
"I think that it does,” replied Mayor
Harris
Mr. Waggoman subsided into his
seat with these words "Then I have
nothing further to say.” There was a
laugh which went the rounds generally
followed by a hasty adjournment
Mayor Harrie has decided upon May
4, as the date of election for mayor and
commissioners. As per the terms of
the charter, the new officers will take
their seats the Tuesday following their

| The time has now come in Fort
Worth, or I might say, by the adoption
' of the new charter a crisis has arisen
; in this city that absolutely calls for
the services of our best men, regardless
■ of politics or personal preferences. I
: have consulted with no one about this,
I but I will give the names of a number
j of men as illustrating the class from
. which the commissioners should be
selected: K. M Van Zandt, R. M.
i Vynne, 8. M. Fry, George Mulkey,
Clarence Ousley, Thorp Andrews. W .G
Turner, J. W. Spencer, Theo Vogel, Paul
! Waples. W. P. McLean Sr., B. B Pad-
I dock, George E. Nies, E. A. Want, D.
I W. Humphreys and F. E. Dycus. There
I are many others just as good, but the
‘above is enough to illustrate my idea
; ot who should be commissioners. I
think also that the citizens of this city
should discuss this matter in the pub-
lic press. I know a great many men
are averse to writing for publication
or giving out interviews to the press,
and I know also that the public gets
! tired, ordinarily, ot seeing eommun!-
cations In the press from persons who
' are imbued with the idea that they
lean always be enlightening the pubite
. on public questions, but I believe an
exception ought to be made in this in-
i stance and that this matter should be
discussed by our citisens in order Ihat
the public may be brought to realize
the great necessity in the present crizU
of selecting the commissloners ,‛rom
among our best citizens. Again, W1
say that whoever may beselecte.an4

It is considered Story’s masterpiece of
portraiture and is reproduced in half-
tones and engravings for all art col-
lections. In this picture Madam Eames
wears the famous set of Siberian sables
presented to her by the empress of
Russia. These sables will be in Fort
Worth, but will be packed away, as
Texas May day climate does not en-
courage use of even such royal gar-
ments as these.
Madam Eames is also considered one
of the most superb dressers in the
world. Her gowns are always mar-
vels of elegance combined with mag-
nificence of material and design. She
will probably wear for her Fort Worth
engagement her “royal gown.” This
was ordered especially for her appear-
ance before King Edward after his
coronation. She wore it a few weeks
ago at Palm Beach, the second time
she b3s ever had it on.
At ne last meeting of the music com-
mittee of the festival the list of songs
from Madam Eames was iscussed.
The music directors favored “Coal Fan
Tutti," from Mozart, and the "Page’s
Song," from Lea Huguenots. These
Eames will sing with the full or-
chestra. Her group of English songs
will have piano accompaniment, played
by Von Flelttz, the conductor of the
Chicago orchestra. Von Felitz became
a great favorite with all the great
singers while he was conductor of the
orcheetra of the Berlin opera house.
He is a musiclan of such ability as to
win the esteem of this class of mu-
sicians — the most exacting critics
known to the musical world.
