Very Proper View.
No business man in any town
should allow a newspaper pub-
lished in his town to go out with-
out his name and business being
mentioned somewhere in its col-
umns, says an exchange. This
applies to all kinds of business.

Texas Instructed for Wilson.
Dallas, Tex., May 7.—Instruc-
tions given today by democratic
county conventions to delegates
chosen for'the Texas state con-
vention assure a delegation to
the national convention for Gov.
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey.
Complete returns received from
176 counties gives Wilson 328 5-6
votes. Necessary to control the
state convention 312 votes. Gov.
Harmon thus far has 109 2-3
votes, and Speaker Clark 39 1-2.
No county up to midnight had
reported instructions for Under-
wood.
From reports received from
153 counties which held repub-
lican conventions Roosevelt is
leading1 with 63 1-2 convention
votes. . Twelve contesting dele-
gations representing 12 conven-
tion votes will go to the state
convention. Seven counties that
will probably be represented at
the state convention held no
county conventions. Thirty-six
counties are sending uninstruct-
ed delegations. . Returns indi-
cate, however, that the result of
republican state convention out-
come cannot be predicted with
the returns at hand.' -

And now the dispatches state
that General Orozco refuses to
recognize Gomez as provisional
president of Mexico, representing
the rebel forces. Some months
ago the statement was made that
both Orozco and Zapata had se-
lected Gomez as the president,
but at that time and until a few
days ago, Gomez was quietly
resting in San Antonio. Possi-
bly he rested too long on Ameri-
can soil to suit either of the lead -
ing generals of the revolution.
In the meantime, robbery and
pillage continue in all that coun-
try and Americans continue to
come home, saving their lives by
getting under a stable govern-
ment, but many of them have
lost all their property.
Patronize home industry, si-
lence *the demagogue, ^swat the
fly, maintain clean premises,
take a bit of pride in home town
progress, qualify as an early and
often hustler, hit the line hard—
and prosperity will come sailing
along.—Fort Worth Star-Tele-

Weather Report.
The following is the weather
forecast as reported by the gov-
ernment:
U nsettled; showers tonight
and Thursday.
There is in prospect a rush of
fortune seekers to the Alpine
country, where a man digging a
wed uncovered deposits of gold
and silver, reputed to be im-
mensely rich. Some day, when
the state of Texas adopts mining
laws' which will admit of * the
working of the metal deposits in
the mountains of western Texas,
there are going to be uncovered
mines which will cause the whole
country to wonder. Lots of the
veins and pockets are well known
—but the state practically pro-
hibits the opening of same. Gdld,
silver, quicksilver, gems and
practically the whole range of
rare minerals, are there in abun-
dance. In the old cemetery in
Alpine, the gravediggers threw
up gold in nuggets and in ore,
and the digging of m water res-
ervoir shpwed ore rich in quick-
silver while in most every moun*
tain around, there are traces of
almost every known rock and
mineral formation. A mining
law encouraging the develop-
ment of that section would open
up a district probably as rich as
any in the world. As it happens,
the gold mine now showing up
so promising, is on “patented”
land and beyond the reach of the
state prohibition to its develop-
ment.—Temple Telegram.
