Resolutions Adopted by the College
Station Convention.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the Brazos River
navigation meeting at College
Station.
Whereas, by a recent act of
congress, The tJnited 8tates
government has provided for a
survey of the Brazos from its
mouth to the city of Waco, to
determine the practicability, as
an engineering problem, of se-
curing slack water navigation
between those points; and
Whereas. The magnitude and
importance of the interests in-
volved demand that the govern-
ment be placed in possessian of
all the facts obtainable bearing
on every phase of the question;
be it
Resolved. 1. That in our
opinion a permanent organization,
consisting of properly accredited
delegates, chosen in such man-
ner as the people may determine,
snd to be known as the Brazos
River Improvement convention,
should be organized immediately.
2. That such convention
should at once begin the work of
collecting statistical and other
information on the following
points: (1) The engineering
problem involved, to be referred
to the government engineer for
such consideration as he may
aocordit: (2) The past history
of the navigation of the river:
(3) the amount and value of
present commerce of every
character transported by the
river: (4) the amount of com-
merce that would be effected
directly and indirectly through
the influence of w*ter rates on
transportation charges, the prob-
able saving to producers and
consumers and the area and
territory that would be brought
under cultivation: (5) the in-
fluence of opening the river to
navigation on overflows, and the
probable saving to commerse as
an incidental result.
3. That until a permanent
organization can be effected, this
convention, through a committee,
undertake the work of collecting
this information and presenting
it to the proper authorities.
4. That the chairman of this
convention be empowered to call
a meeting of the representative
people in the several counties
immediately concerned, at such
time and place as he and a
majority of the committee on
statistical information appointed
by this convention and the
Brazos river improvement com-
mittee, appointed at the Brenham
meeting, October 20, 1800, may
determine.
5. That we heartily commend
the action of our senators and
representatives in congress in
giving especial sttention to the
improvement of our harbors and
inland waterway, and especially
do we commend the aotion of
those chiefly instrumental in re-
ceiving the sppropriation for the
survey of the Brazos river.
Overreached Himself.
A builder in Glasgow, having
heard that his men did not start
,work at the proper time, thought
that he would drop down some morn-
ing about C :30 to Bee, says Waverly
Magazine. Going up the yard ho
caught sight of a joiner standing
smoking, with his kit unopened.
Simply asking his name, which he
found to be Malcolm Campbell, lit
called him into the office andyhand<
ing four days', pay, told him to leave
at once. After having seen the man
clear out of the yards he went up to
the foreman and told him he had
made an example of Malcolm Camp-
bell by paying him off for not start-
ing at the proper time. "Great
Scott!" exclaimed the foreman,"that
chap was only looking for a job I"

They Eschewed Politic*.
Mr. D. C. Oiddings, Jr., one of
the delegates from Washington
county to the Brazos river meet-
ing at College Station, and who
also attended the session of the
farmers' congress held at the
same time and place, says the
latter gathering is bound to re-
sult in good to the agricultural
interests of the State. The most
significant feature of the meeting
to Mr. Giddings was the fact that
politics were tabbooed through-
out the entire deliberations.
Farmers discussed corn and cot-
ton, cattle, sheep, goats, every-
thing pertaining to the farm; but
not once was mention made of
governmental policies to relive
the farmer. Mr. Giddings thinks
that in this is found the strongest
indication of prosperity among
the agricultural olasses. Wash-
ington county had the largest
and most representative delega-
tion in attendance on the meeting
with the exception of Brazos.
