Conservation.
The resources of the earth are the
basis of our national wealth. By means
of them alone, in material things,
comes leadership among the nations.
The conservation movement now fully
under way embraces the forest move-
ment as one of its sources and great
divisions. Thus th. cause of forest
conservation throughout the country
has won a powerful ally and a more ef-
fective support for the work that lies
just before us.—Gifford PinchotinNew
England Magazine.
Did Not Worry Her.
Hare the terrors of the French revo-
lution been exaggerated? A French
woman mentioned in Sir Mountstuart
Grant Duff's diary had lived in Paris
through the last 30 years of the
eighteenth century, and when asked
for her impressions of the tragic
times of the terror replied: ‘‘The
whole affair has been vastly exag
gerated. For my part, I never found
It necessary to abandon my weekly ‘at
home’ days.”
F«r Mayor. Alex. W. Acheton.
Dr. Alex. W. Acheson has de-
clared his willingness to serve the
people of Denison another term if
they so desire. The Gazetteer is
gratified that he has made the de-
cision, because the record made by
him as the heat! of the City Com-
mission has demonstrated that he
has done his duty faithfully and
well. Never before, in the history
of the city were there so many per-
manent improvements accomplish-
ed, as during the past two years
and a man must be blind, in-
deed, who cannot see it. Main street
from Houston avenue to Mirick
avenue and one block on Rusk
avenue, have Ireen paved and seven
bridges constructed of stone with
reinforced concrete surfaces, and
nine concrete and storm sewers—
these will • stand as mute evi-
dences of practical work for
generations to come. Besides
there are one hundred avanue
and alley crossings, some built of
flag stones but most of them of
concrete or vitrified brick. These
substantial improvements and oth-
ers not necessary to mention in
detail, were made under the im-
mediate supervision of Mayor
Acheson, who has had charge of
all street work during the exist-
ence of the commission form of
government. But in the estima-
tion of the Gazetteer the most im-
portant enterprise inaugurated
under Mayor Aeheson’s adminis-
tration was the purchase by the
city of the water works and the
development of the plan to provide
the city with a supply of water,
sufficient to meet any demands
that may lie made in future by
manufactories or other enterprises
to which cheap water is of prime
importance. This water question
has been a serious one to the citi-
zens of Denison for years, and its
solution has been for a long
time a hobby with Dr. Acheson.
It is to his foresight and practical
business sagacity that we are in-
deted today for its solution. Mayor
Acheson has given every detail of
this work his careful attention.
The greatest system of municipa
water supply in Texas has been
worked out, and before the next
term of the City Commission ex
pires, this the greatest enterprise
inaugurated in the history of Den
son, ought to be realized. The
Gazetteer lielieves, however, that
as Dr. Acheson was tin- originator
of this great work, it is to the
city’s interest to keep him at the
head of the City Commission until
it is completed. It is a trite say-
ing that it is not good policy to
swap horses before crossing the
bridge. The Gazetteer has noth
ing to say against Mr. Smith, who
las announced as a candidate for
mayor. He is an able lawyer am
las served the city well as city
attorney, but it is difficult to see
low he can better manage the
city’s interests than the present
incumbent, who has made such an
excellent record. Experience
the management of municipal af-
fairs is a very important matter.
Our present commission can testi
fy to that fact, and the public can,
too, if they have watched results.
Another thing. Owfing to the con-
ditions not necessary to specify
which have existed in Denison for
the past three or four years our
business enterprises have had to
depend for patronage to a very
large extent upon that which
comes from railroad interests cen-
tered here. Now no man stands
higher with the railroad officials,
more especially those of the M. K
& T., w hich has made such large
investments here, than Dr. Ache-
son. This company is anxious to
increase shop facilities at this
point, and concentrate here other
important industries, and the only
thing standing in the way is lack
of water. The company is watch-
ing the efforts of Mayor Acheson
to meet this requirement with
keen interest. With the water
“on tap” a new era of prosperity
would dawn upon Denison. The
Gazetteer believes the voters of
Denison will size up the situation
correctly and give a rousing vote
in favor of Dr. A. W. Acheson for
a second term.
The Tibht Residence Burned.
The old Tibbs briek residence on
the comer of Main street and Scul-
in avenue, diagonally opjxisite the
AI. E. Church South, occupied by
Ves Barnes and family, was dis-
covered on fire ataiut noon Wed-
nesday. The fire department was
promptly on hand, hut owing to a
ligh wind and the dry roof the
flames spread rapidly and nearly
the entire roof was in a blaze in a
:ew minutes. There is little roof
eft and in one room the windows
and door casings were reduced to
coal. All the rooms were badly dam-
aged by fire or water. When the
ire was discovered by a neighbor
t had just broken out in a blaze.
Mrs. Barnes and her daughter
were in the kitchen and were not
awar6 anything was wrong until
tliey saw fire falling down the
stairway that leads to the attic.
he fire apparently started near
the chimney in the front part of
the house over the dining room,
t couldn’t have had its origin
rom a defective flue as Mr.
Aarnes had all the Hues carefully
examined only a few weeks ago,
and they were found perfectly
sound. The fire may have been
started by a spark from the chim-
ney falling on the roof. Just as
the alarm was given the children
from the Main street public school
and the Harshaw College were dis-
missed for the noon hour, and the
boys turned in with a will, and
lelped the neighbors remove the
furniture. They rendered most
valuable assistance, and every-
thing was gotten out of the house,
including two pianos, and nothing
was damaged worth mentioning.
Mr. Barnes wishes the Gazetteer
to express his gratitude to Ins
neighbors and the noble school
children for their assistance. But
for them he says a large portion of
ns household effects would have
Iveen burned or badly damaged by
water. Mr. Barnes has ample in-
surance on the building and con-
tents to cover the loss.
Excuses Not Needed.
“There’s no excuse for anybody’s
having any kind of illness/' said the
resolute person.
“Perhaps not.” answered the man
who always tries to agree. “And
person who is really ill doesn’t feel
like being formal and begging soma-
body’s pardon, anyhow.”
The strongest lobby at the State
capital at present appears to be
composed of protestant clergymen.
Religion ami politics are getting
badly mixed in Texas.
E. H. R. Green has ordered one
of Wright Brother’s Aeroplanes.
The machine is expected to arrive
in Dallas sometime next summer.
The cost of these machines, Mr.
Green says, range in price from
$2,500 to $0,000.
The Waters-Pierce Oil Co. has
paid the fine of $50,000 imposed by
the terms of the ouster suit in
Missouri, and agrees to dissolve
connection with the Standard Oil
Co. by March 1 or leave the State.
Edward H. Harriman, the rail-
road magnate, is now in camp
near San Antonio, seeking health
in pure air and relaxation from
tusiness worry. Mr. Harriman
is reported as a very sick man,
his affliction being rheumatism
and nervous troubles. He is ac-
companied by his daughter, Miss
Mary Harriman.
Rev. J. B. Toomey of the Foun-
tain Park Congregational Church,
of St. Ixmis, in a resent address
before the Southwest Congression-
al Congress, is quoted as saying
“The most cold-blooded and ef-
fective enemy of our social system
today is the smug millionaire who
is giving pensions to college pro-
fessors of undenominational col-
leges and endowing the colleges
themselves so that no chance may
l>e left for the coming generation
to escape having the spirit of
‘grab and squeeze’ injected into
their natures. Ix-t Andrew Car-
negie, whose brain conceived the
idea for the sake of advertising,look
out that the future may not rise
up and accuse his good name and
stigmatize him as a corrupter of
the youths of this country.’’
It is difficult to see how provid-
ing pensions for college professors
and endowing colleges, is going to
inject the spirit of “grab and
squeeze” into the coming genera-
tion. Quite likely the real objec-
tion of the clerical critic is that
Mr. Carnegie sees fit to confine his
lienefactions to undenominational
educational institutions, which
outs out colleges run in the inter-
ests of congregational propaganda.
How the Sacremento News sees
: “Our worst offense, it seems,
according to Roosevelt, is not to
prohibit Japanese owning real es-
tate and to serve on corporation
directorates, but to prevent their
association with our children. We
can do up the Japanese in a busi-
ness way, hut must receive them
on a social equality. The proposi-
tion is an impudent one, no matter
if Roosevelt, Root and the
whole Washington squad of stall-
fed diplomats are l>ack of it.”
Col. R. C. Foster was in Austin
Wednesday, addressing the Senate
Cornmittee on Internal Improve-
ments, in opposition to the hill re-
quiring railroad companies to re-
pair their ears in Texas. The
colonel said if passed in its present
form it would sound the death-
knell of Denison and Smithville.
The committee, however, decided
to unanimously rejiort the hill
favorably.
The earthquake which the seis-
mographs reported Jan. 28 and
which scientists were unable to lo*
cate, it seems occurred in Western
Persia. Meagre reports are to the
effect that six villages were de-
stroyed and loss of life placed at
5,000 to 0,000. The jieasantry
lost most of their cattle, the esti.
mate being that 10,000 to 12,000
head perished.
The Flores theater at Acapulco,
Mexico, in the State of Guerrero,
one of the three most important
ports on the Pacific coast of Mex-
ico, was destroyed by fire. It was
a w'ooden structure, and at the
time, a special performance was
given. Moving pictures were be-
ing exhibited and a film caught
fire, the fire spreading rapidly,
causing a panic. The loss of life
is placed at 220. Most of the bod-
ies were burned until unrecogniza-
ble and were all buried iu one
long trench by the city authorities.
On President Roosevelt's return
from Harrisburg, Pa., he was pre-
sented with a jug of thirty-year-old
whisky by a Kentucky friend. It’s
awful ! But then Mr. Roosevelt
is not a candidate for office; and
come to think of it, he will proba-
ly need an antidote for snake bite
on his hunting trip in the wilds of
Africa.

In the State of Texas alone,
prairie dogs eat annually enough
grass to support 1,562,500 cows.
Utterly useless, the little animal
is a pest so dreaded that the For-
estry Service has undertaken his
extermination. Poison is killing
him wherever he now flourishes,
and another resource of the farmer
is safeguarded.
Geronimo, the noted Apache
chief, who committed so much
devilment in New Mexico and Ari-
zona and was captured by General
Miles twenty years ago, since which
time he has been a prisoner, died
on the Fort Smith military reser-
vation of pneumonia last Wednes-
day. He was 80 years of age.
The dispatches say semi-tribal
and semi-christian ceremonies
were conducted over the body. A
procession two miles long, com-
posed of Apaches and whites, fol-
lowed the remains to the grave.
Out of the Pale.
“Jes’ you come right home,
Henry Hiram—breakin’ the Sab-
bath day in that seanlous, sinful
fashion.”
“Well, Jimmy Hicks is let skate

Another Pioneer Gone.
Edwin H. Cainptiell, who has
l>een a resident of Denison for the
past twenty years, died at his
home, 721 W. Ilull-st., on, Tues-
day. Mr. Campbell had l*?en an
invalid for a number of years, but
his indomitable will power kept
him on his feet enabling him
to attend to business. Since the
loss of his faithful wife he seems
to have relaxed and given up to
some extent. They were a very
devoted and loving couple, and
Mrs. Campbell’s death was a very
sad blow. Mr. Campbell was one
of the oldest plumbers engaged
in business in Denison. Some of
the most important public work is a
living testimony of his skill.
He was very much attached to
ns family and the children have
done everything in their power to
make his last moments on earth
comfortable as possible. He
received every attention. Mr.
Campbell is survived by three
son3. Jack, Howard and Grant,
and a daughter, Mrs. Dora Lynn.
Grant Campbell, assistant post-
master of Dallas, arrived too late
to be present at the last moment.
Mr. Campbell was buried from
St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The
interment was at Calvary ceme-
tery. _
Advice.
Father (angrily)—“If my son
marries that actress I shall cut
him off absolutely, and you can
tell him so.”
Legal Adviser—“I know a bet-
ter plan than that—tell the girl.”

It Has Bean Conceded
for many years that A. A. Nilson is the most
skilled watch repairer in Denison. He did
not pick up his knowledge, but is a graduated
watchmaker. His work speaks for itself.
Hundreds will bear testimony to his careful,
skilled and conscientious work. Hundreds
of watches have been ruined in Denison by-
bungling so-called watch repairers. If you
have a valuable time piece, give it into the
keeping of A. A. Nilson, and our word for
it, you will never have cause to complain.
In connection with his watch repairing de-
partment he carries a first-class stock of
jewelry.
