1903 was 771 about the same figure
that is expected this year
If the acreage this year is no larger
than it was in 1P03 which some very
conservative men admit there Is good
reason to hope that with the largest
worlds demand ever known the
American cotton planter will realize
equally as agreeable returns for his
labor as ho has during the season

Great Is the split log drag Its fame
Is spreading more rapidly as its use
is extended and its merits become

and are urging its use on the streets
and country roads The Business
Mens League of Helena Ark has Is-
sued a pamphlet entitled E D Pil-
lows Experience With the Split Log
Drag Mr Pillow says the drag
works splendidly on the buckshot
soil around Helena which Is regarded
as the most difficult to handle with a
road machine of any kind Tho drag
always does the work Denison Her-
ald
The split log drag has but one draw
Ing farmer can construct one with lit-
tle expense and one or two Indus-
trious farmers in a neighborhood can
keep a pretty good stretch of road in
fine condition the year round But it
is loo easy If the split log drag was
painted red and sold for about 50

one and most of them would have one

PALESTINE TEXAS JULY i 1907
OUTLOOK FOR COTTON PRICES
The high point In cotton for the
season of 19071908 which begins on
September 1 depends on the developments
the
during
conditions
ments in crop
next few weeks The present high
levels in the new crop months are per-
haps higher than have been Justified
by the favorable weather conditions
for the past three weeks as this has
been brought about by the accumula-
tion In a few hands of the remainder
of the old crop These parties claim
that they are buying it as an invest-
ment and it Is their expectation to
sell the August option at 15c This
naturally invites purchases of the new
crop positions on the part of those
who are barred from participating In
the old crop purchases
The weather for the past three
weeks has not been ideal by any
means but since the floods and rains
In the early spring any kind of
weather that will arrest rapid deterio-
ration has been classed as favor
able The crop Is In imminent dan-
ger of getting too much favorable
weather and with the exception of a-
very small area the whole belt needs
rain Unless it comes shortly some
deterioration is certain and those who
have bought the new crop will by
holding on realize reasonable profits
If however the season proves propi-
tious from tills time forth it will be
a question of endurance on the part
of those who have gone long In the
new crop Experienced cotton men
who have kept in touch with the cot-
ton trade of Uie country for years are
free in expressing the belief that tne
government in its report to be issued
July 2 should in addition to reporting
the condition to June 25 Issue a cor-
rected statement as to the acreage
Some influence has been exorted to
have this done but so far as known
the census bureau has given out no
intimation as to its intention
The crop this year has made the
poorest start in history the average
condition on June 1 being 705 The
next Tosst condltiflMJurecent years

ginla way of doing It In contrast to
the Thaw case In New York
Folk Is exceedingly modest and de-
clares there are Democrats more
worthy of the presidential nomination
than he The Herald admires his mod-
esty but on the whole agrees with
the gentleman from Missouri
It is gradually dawning on many
Americans that Mark Twain Is mak-
ing a desperate run for the title of
snob It is all right for him to make
a monkey of himself to the English
but he should have some regard for
his home country where it is a pleas-
ure to think thnt the men are men
The Fourth of July comes on Thurs-
day of this week and we will all be
patriotic enough to take a day off
Tho Woodmen of the World will hold
a big picnic at Cartmells the Elks
with play a big match game with the
Marshall team at the ball ground near
the gas plant and many other smaller
events will be pulled on It Is a good
old day
This good old town was In a dis-
tressing way yesterday being for
most of the day without water or elec-
tric lights or fans The water com-
pany had a crippled main leading from
the supply tanks and many people
had to skirmish for drinking water
Possibly these things can not be pre-
vented now and then but tliey cer-
tainly work a great inconvenience on
many people
The Austin Tribune thinks it a
funny view to take of the papers that
are suggesting other men for me
presidential nomination than Bryan to
say that they are trying to discredit
Bryan That Is true but the Tribune
will hardly deny that there is a cer-
tain Influence In Texas Inside the
Democratic party that is trying to
discredit Bryan in this State It ii a-
very evident fact

sense but It shows the very high re-
gard In which he is held
A member of the executive commit-
tee of the Board of Trade at the meet-
ing last Thursday night in discussing
paving etc said he had ordered some
sidewalk brick of a certain type but
had been unable to secure them be-
cause the manufacturers said they
wero so far behind with orders they
could not make shipment within a
reasonable time There is certainly
a suggestion In that condition that
some Palestine man or company could
get into the brick business on an ex-
tensive scale and make money There
is no question about selling the pro-
duct at a good price and If a special
sidewalk or paving brick was made
every one could he sold at a fancy
price The best brick clay on earth
Is at hand here and all other condi-
tions are favorable for such an enter-
prise The market is at hand and
brick are in demand

50 VERY HEAVY
AS WAS AT FIRST REPORTED
BIG TURBINES NOT INJURED
REVISED ESTIMATE
A Herald man called at the office of
the electric light company this morn-
ing to inquire as to the revised esti-
mates of damage done the plant and
system by Saturdays electrical storm
Mr Howell says that much of the
damage first thought to have been
done was of little consequence and
that possibly 500 would cover the
actual losses sustained
It was at first estimated that dam-
age to the extent of 10000 had been
done but this estimate was based on
the belief that one of the big turbines
had been badly damaged This on
later investigation proved to be a
mistake A safety switchboard saved
the machinery
The greatest damage was done the
transformers located In different parts
of the city
The plant had to shut down again
yesterday afternoon because of a
water shortage caused by the break in
the water companys main All lights
and fans and power were off all the
afternoon
SHORT ON POSTAGE
Local Postoffice Complains of Letters
Being Malted to Foreign Lands
The local postofllce complains of the
large number of letters mailed to for-
eign countries which are short on
postage and for that reason are fre-
quently not delivered The postofllce
department in a recent bulletin gives
out the following information regard-
ing postage on foreign letters
Office of Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Washington D C June
27 1907
The British office has called atten
tion to the large number of shortpaid
letters received from the United
States
As double the amount of the defi-
cient postage is required to be collect-
ed upon the deliver of shortpaid let-
ters tho addressees of such letters
frequently refuse to receive them and
the letters are returned to this coun-
try as undellvcrable to the annoyance
of postal officials as well as of the
senders of the letters
It Is presumed that many cases of
shortpayment may be attributed to
the fact that the unit of weightfor the
letter rale of postage in our domestic
malls is an ounce while in Interna-
tional mails it Is only half an ounce
The evil would probably be reme-
died to a great extent If the attention
of the public were called to th < t differ-
ence between the unit of weight In our
domestic malls and the unit of weight
in international malls
Postmasters are requ
fore to give as much publlr js
sible to Uudg um tai
countries Is five io centiTSFTeach
half ounce or fraction of half ounce
and thnt if postage upon letters is not
prepaid in full double the deficiency
must be paid by the addressees or the
letters arc not delivered

VENEERED WOOD
Itn AtlvniilnccK Over Solid Lumber
For Iurnlturc
If the art of veneering were not the
extensive art It Is today it would be
Impossible for any but the compara-
tively few who have a good supply of
the nlinighty dollar to possess any Hnc
articles of furniture at all Veneering
Is not a new art but the earliest
American cabinetmakers although
using It to some extent preferred 89
a rule the solid wood furniture
Todny hardwood trees such as the
ak waluut and ash have been made
more valuable by the Invention of ve-
neering machinery which will enable
the logs to be sliced up iuto layers of
uniform thickness of less than one
twentieth of an Inch In the old days
this process was all by hand and was
a slow and arduous uudertatthig
The advantages of veneered wood
are that it will not crack swell nor
warp in the changes from hot to cold
weather and In the case of doors for
Instance It makes them lighter and
more easily handled
For our llnest pieces of furniture
the best of oak walnut or ash is
used and it may be seen how much
one or these trees Is worth Cut Into
thin slices It will give huutlreds of
feet of veneer A large walnut tree
for Instance will be made Into a large
amount of veneer and Is sought by ex-
pert woodsmen Found in the heart
of the woods or on some lonely farm
It Is bought by the agent working
for tlie interests of a veneering com-
pany and ten times as much is paid
for It to Its owner as would be for
ordinary lumber
The process Includes the cutting and
trimming of the tree sawing Into logs
of convenient lengths and then the
cooking of these log They are Iwiled
until soft and pliable tu a vat of hot
water or steam They are then sent
to the veneering machines where they
arc sliced or sawed into pieces from
onetenth to onethirtieth of an inch
> thickness of absolutely the same
thickness all over Their soft pliablo
condition prevents them from crack
tag or breaking
The cabinet workers then apply
these slices to the articles of furni-
ture gluiug them on with the grain
running In opposite directions and with
no joinings visible Instead of mak-
ing a weaker article tho surface Is
really toughened and hardened by this
crossgralu work and It rany also be
polished to a hlsjcr luster than the
olid wood Brooklyn E le
