SECT. TEXAS PRESS AS- I TEXAS LEADS COUNTRY
SOCIATION HERE ON HUNT I IN WOOL AND MOHAIR.
Sam P. Harbin, for more than
twenty years, secretary of the
Texas Press Association, and
one of the best known newspa-
per men in Texas, arrived here
Sunday night, accompanied by
a number of friends, and is
spending the week hunting on
the Floyd Little ranch.
The party composed of Mr.
Harbin, E. E. Morgan, F. E.
Hendricks, Elmo Huffhines and
Roy Bynum, visited The Eagle
plant Monday morning and were
accompanied to the hunting
ground by this editor, where
Sam was shown the difference
between a deer and a goat.
Mr. Little took the party
over the range that afternoon
and in the round lost Mr. Huff-
hines, who, while lost happened
to get a nice buck within thirty
minutes after reaching the pas-
ture.
This is the first visit of these
gentlemen to this particular
section of the Hill Country, and
we think we can get Mr. Har-
bin to vote to bring the next
Press convention here—provid-
ing some of the party will kill
a deer for him by the end of
the week.
LITTLE DAUGHTER OF MR.
AND MRS. B. W. DAVIS DIES.
Mittie Irene, the three year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
\V. Davis, died at a hospital in
San Antonio Tuesday and the
body was brought here Wednes-
days for burial at, the Gentry
Creek Cemetery. Rev. Davis of
the Junction Methodist church
preached the funeral services.
The little child was taken to
(San Antonio Light.)
From the rolling spaces and
pasture lands of the Southwest,
where the ranges stretch out as
lar as the eye can see, meeting
a metallic blue sky which en-
codes everything like the rim
of a huge bowl, a golden stream
of money is flowing into San
Antonio coffers.
Peak prices and a fine produc-
tion of wool and mohair will en-
rich West Texas stockmen this
year by more than $15,000,000.
Texas is now the leading
State in the United States in
wool and mohair production, ac-
cording to buyers here.
Practically all of the wool and
mohair comes from ranches in
San Antonio’s trade territory,
so to speak. West of here the
sheep and goat raisers industry
is at its best.
The crop this year is estimat-
ed at from 28,000,000 to 30,000,-
000 pounds of wool and mohair.
Of this, about 21,000.000 pounds
is wool.
The fall clipping season, Sep-
tember, October and November,
will produce about 3,500,000
ixjunds of mohair, according to
estimates. There will be about
4,000,000 pounds of wool.
Prices this year in mohair
are higher than at any time in
the past 10 years, buyers de-
clare, quotations being about 67
cents. Not only that, but the
present mohair crop has already
been sold, the last sale taking
place about two weeks ago.
Wool is selling from about 40
to 45 cents, only 400,000 pounds
remaining to be sold.
The total production of the
San Antonio last Sunday in ai United States is about 225,000,-
very serious condition and was 000 pounds of wool annually, so
sick only five days before her Texas plays an important part,
death. | It plays an eyen greater role in
The Eagle extends sympathy the mohair production, outstrip-
to the bereaved relatives.

BISHOP JOHNSON DIES
AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS.
The Rt. Rev. J. S. Johnson,
former Bishop of the West Tex-
as Diocese of the Episcopal
Church, died at his home in San
Antonio last Tuesday, from a
paralytic stroke of the Sunday
before.
For many years he traveled
throughout this section of the
State in the cajvacity of Bishop,
and is well known to many )mm>-
ple of Kimble County, as he
visited here on numerous occa-
sions before his retirement.
The boys, and men too, are
beginning to talk about trap-
ping, and soon they will be buy-
ing supplies and stringing their
traps along the rivers and the
m.ountain sides.
Before long little groups will
gather to watch the sales of the
furs and there will be consider-
able gossip about the prices that
are being paid here, there and
elsewhere, and speculation as
to the future market, and the
air on Saturday afternoons will
lake on a sort of “skunky”
smell as the pelts of the skunks
and other animals are gathered
in.
While this country is not not-
ed for its fur bearers, the fur
industry here is a rather im-
portant one and brings several
thousand dollars per year into
the country, and provides pock-
et change for a good many boys
ar a time of year when there
is little else to be sold.

LAMPASAS VS. JUNC-
TION FOOT BALL GAME.
GAME LAW VIOLATORS
PAY HEAVY FINES.
The largest fine collected from
any party this year, and proba-
bly the largest ever collected
here, was assessed and collected
in the Justice court Wednesday,
when several men from East-
land were brought here by Dep-
uty Warden Dent of Kerrville,
and evidence produced that they
had killed more than their limit
of turkeys and had been tres-
passing and had killed seven
turkey hens.
They were apprehended in the
east end of the county. More
than $200 in fines were paid.
Seventeen charges were reduc-
ed to ten and the men agreed
to turn the hen turkeys over to
the Salvation Army.
Several other evidences of
violantion of the game laws
have been reported to Wardens
and numerous fines have been
collected lately.
Those who have no respect
for the game laws had better
steer clear of Kimble County.
