C. A. Laporte, an oil expert from
Pennsylvania reports having found
petroleum in paying quantities
two miles from Strawn.
Every clerk, every mechanic, in
fact everybody who has even a
working interest in the town, can
afford to contribute to the North-
western extension.
J. N. Stuart & Sons have bought
the Johnson pasture six miles from , , ....
„ . • need of a more rapid development
Strawn. lhe pasture contains!.
awakening to the neces
dust rial development, and also
that, in thsoe sections where most
attention has been given to auch
development, the people are the
most prosperous. Our best think-
ers and most successful business
men, realising that something
should be dooe to more fully
arouse the people in every section
to the necessity of pushing along
the lines of industrial and com-
mercial development, called
meeting to be composed of rep-
resentatives from the various com-
mercial bodies of the state, which
meeting was held a few days ago
in Austin, at which time the fol-
lowing resolution was unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, Texas is much in
9300 acres and the price paid was
>35.ooo cash._
The Corsicana Sun says: “A
new impetus has been giveu to
building operations by the demand
for homes tor the cotton factory
operators. Meanwhile residences
of a better class are multiplying
in every part of the city.” Let
Weatherford secure the extension
of the Northwestern and bui'd a
cotton mill which will create a
demand for more homes iu the
corporate limits.
The Temperance Union of Kan-
sas which met iu Topeka this
week, raised over $100 to purchase
a gold medal tor Mrs. Carrie Na-
tion, who has lately been waging
such a relentless war ou the saloons
in that state. She declined to ac-
cept so expensive a present and
insisted that the money be devot-
ed to the work of temperance,
agreeing to accept a souvenir if
the officers of the union desired to
give it, but said it must not cost
more than $2. She declares her
intention to remain in Topeka until
every one of the 120 saloons are
closed.
The Medical Examining Board
for the Seventh Judicial District of
Texas has tendered its resignation
for the reason that their work is a
farce, since the law recognizes
diplomas from bogus medical col-
leges equally with others, and
under the law the Hoard must be
come a party to both fraud and
farce. It is an indisputable fact
that hundreds of uneducated im-
posters are boldly practicing medi-
cine in the towns and cities of
Texas, doing the public a serious
injury and charging exorbitant
prices therefor, and Texas law is
responsible for this condition.—
Farm and Ranch.
Texas being the only state in
the Union which ever possessed an
identity of her own, separate and
apart from all other states of the
Union, the only state that was
ever an independent government
having direct relations with other
nations of the world, has in her
archives at Austin, many impor-
tant and highly prized documents,
t the like of which are not possessed
by any other state of the Union-
two of these documents bearing
the autograph of Queen Victoria
and are treaties which were con-
cluded between Great Britain and
the Republic of Texas during tha
early part of her reign, and which
were signed May 26, 1842.
A free school land act passed by
the legislature of Texas in 1883,
contains a provision that all oils
and minerals found on school land
after the passage of the act shall
belong to the.state. At the time
of the passage of the act, uearly
all the lands of the Beaumont
country now embraced in the great
oil fields belonged to the school
fund. An investigation is now in
progress to discover whether or
aot the great Lucas gusher is ou
what was. school land at the pas-
sage of the act, and sold since.
And if it develops that it was, the
great oil well will belong to the
state of Texas,
I of our manufacturing industries;
and
Whereas, Wj are not keeping
pace with our sister southern
states in the establishment of such
industries; and
Whereas, The policy of ex-
emption from taxation for a term
of years by several southern
states has been fraught with most
satisfactoiy results, be it
Resolved, That a committee
be appointed by this convention to
appear before and address the
cunmittee on manufacturing anJ
cons itutioual amendments, and
urge the adoption of measures
looking to such exemption under
the laws and constitution of the
state as will secure the desired re
suits.
Another resolution adopted at
the same meeting was as follows:
Whereas, The state of Texas
is teeming at present withvidle
home capital seeking investment,
and
Whereas, Our people are to a
great extent wanting in a knowl-
edge of the great possibilities of
manufacturing in Texas, therefore,
be it
Resolved, By the convention
of the commercial bodies of Texas
that the legislature would render
an invaluable service to the state
by the creation of a commissioner
of manufacturing, whose duty
should be to collect and dissemi-
nate, by lectures and otherwise,
all manner of information ealeu
lated to arouse our people to the
wonderful opportunities for profit-
able investment in manufacturing
in Texas.
To all of which the Dallas News
said yesterday: “Thus the discus-
sion goes and the movement
grows. If the industrial move-
ment now on and the commercial
development now under way in
grand old Texas continues for a
few years, acquaintances who have
been abroad will not know the
state when they return and see it
in all its glory.”
Are the people of Weatherford
going to lag behind other places
less favored with natural advant-
ages? Surely not. The thing for
us to do now is to raise the ne-
cessary bonus to secure the exten-
sion of the Northwestern, which
would afford us better railroad fa-
cilities and the other enterprises
will naturally follow
“Tne Commoner.”
The first issue of the Commoner,
W. J. Bryan’s new paper, came
out last Wednesday. It is an at
tractive sheet typographically, be-
ing printed in old style long prim-
er, which appeals to the eye and is
easy to read. "William J. Bryan,
Editor and Proprietor”’ appears at
the top of the first column under
the heading. The first article is
entitled “The Commoner.” The
first paragraph reads: “Webster
defines a commoner as ‘one of the
common people.’ ’’ The name,
says the editor, was chosen be-
cause the Coinihoner will endeavor
to aid the common people in the
protection of their rights, the ad-
vancement! of their interests and
the realization of their aspirations.
The last paragraph reads, “The
Commoner will be satisfied if, by(
fidelity to the common people, ft
_
Cotton growing
in the report of the Bureau of
tistics the wonderful possibilities
which have opened up for thefh in
the last few years.
From 1890 to 1900, the exports
of cotton goods from the United
States increased from 136,000,000
yards to 258,000.000 yards, not
quite double. This is the largest
increase made by any country.
England fell from an exportation
of cotton goods in 1890 of 5,124.*
966,000 to 5,035,250,000 yards in
1900. Germany and France in-
creased their exportations by small
uurgins.
English statistics shoto that four-
fifths of the cotton used in the
manufacture of goods iu that
country is raised in the United
States. The transportation com-
panies have realized the greater
profit in the carrying incident to
the use of American raw material.
The supposed greater ability of the
Euglish manufacturer has hitherto
fooled the American people.
New England was the first sec-
tion of the United States to extend
the manufacture of cotton goods.
The south seemed negligent until
within the last few years when
capitalists began setting up looms
uext to cotton fields. Naturally
.nough, the success of the new
factories first worked harm to the
New England mills, many being
closed or moved to southern states.
Now Great Britain is beginning to
realixe the inevitable consequen-
ces of southern activity.
It has been’found that the fac-
tories of Texas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and other southern states can
do as good work as the English
mills and at less cost. The report
of the Bureau of Statistics shows
that it is only a question of time
when the cotton mills of the world
will be surrounded by the cotton
fields.—St. Louis Republic.'
An extra session of Congress is
now strougly talked of by those
in position to know.

Queen Victoria left seventy-one
living descendants, children,
grandchildren and great grand-
children. She was not only a
great queen, but a great mother of
kings^queens and emporers. Her
descendants already have assured
them the thrones of the empires of
Great Britain and Germany, and
it is not altogether improbable
that within two decades the crowns
of the three empiies of Great Bri-
tain, Germany and Russia wilt be
worn at the same time by her
grandchildren.
