LARGEST STATE IN VNIO.V
FIFTH IX POPULATION'
I
Generally Relieved That Populace of
Lnnjer Counties Was Xot Accur
ately Enumerated Business Inter
ests Not Discouraged.
Houston, Texas. Disappointed,
Texans may be over the figures giv
en out by the census bureau which
places this state fifth m population in
the list of states, but not discouraged.
That there is a sad failure to properly
count the populace of the larger
counties is generally accepted as true
throughout the state but in typical
western style, the business Interests
are moving ahead with plans for the
future unshaken by the figures sent
out from Washington.
That the homeseekers' movement
this year is surpassing all records Is
demonstrated by the report of the
railroads. Last Thursday was
"Homeseeker Day" and the army of
Invaders from the north and east
sweep into Texas In companies, batal
lions, regiments and brigades. Hous
ton, the state's railroad center, is the
clearing house for the tourist move
ment and fully five thousand excur
sionists passed throungh the city In
two days. This is but the beginning
for after Christmas the tide of trav
el is expected to double and treble.
Every railroad entering Houston is
preparing for the grand rush. The
millions expended in the development
of southwest Texas are yielding div
idends. Thursday night and Friday
morning forty-two carloads of home
seekers traveled toward Brownsville
by ne line. Last year, 18,974 home
seekers' tickets were honored by that
road, alone, and in the last five years
62,000 people have found homes in
this land of promise.
Reports issued by the state rail
road commission for the year end
ing June ."0, 1910, show that out or
the net operating income for the year,
Texas railroads paid interest am
ounting to J14.225.000 and dividends
amounting to $2,191,000 and have
spent $1,600,000 In additions and im
provements. Besides this the com
panies have remaining from operat
ing income nearly a million dollars,
which la more than 6 per cent of the
taxable values of the roads for the
year.
One of the best indices to business
are post office and telegraph receipts.
Houston's post office shows more
than 50 per cent increase over last
year and at a meeting of the mana
gers of the Western Union Telegraph
company it was shown that in volume
of business by that concern based on
population, Houston stands first in
Texas and third in an the United
States. After hia tour of the south
east a few days ago, B. F. Yoakum,
the railroad magnate, declared there
was no business depression in this
section and he knew because he had
seen for himself. In the face of this
business activity and influx of new
citizens, great things are predicted
for the census reports ten years
hence.

EMPTY VICTORY
APTEK TWO YEARS
the railroads can be forced to refund
the difference between the rates as
fixed by the commission and the rates
actually charged for hauling the
freight. The obtaining of reparation, j
however, is a long and troublesome ;
process. The claimant is required to
file with the commission a detailed j
statement of every item of overcharge, ,
and in case of opposition by the rail- ;
roads, must defend his claim before
the commission. All of this takes time
and expense and only a big claim will
justify It.

Here is a true story of a freight
rate fight of two years which ended
in an empty victory.
Two years ago the Interstate Com
merce commission lowered the rate on
five classes of freight from the At
lantic seaboard to cities situated on
tiie Missouri river from three to nine
cents a hundred pounds.
Railroads appealed to the courts to
prevent the reduced rates from being
enforced.
A few days ago the supreme court
of the United States sustained the
enforcement of the low rates on the
ground that they were legal and reas
onable. H looked like a big victory for the
Missouri river people but the fact de
veloped that the time limit It the re
duced rates expired two days before
the court announced its decision.
The Interstate Commerce commis
sion is authorized to fix rates for no
longer than two years. In the Mis
souri river ease the entire period waa
devoted to fighting in the courts. So
the people Interested, to get relief,
must file a new complaint. If the com
mission should order a reduction the
railroads will find that the courta are
Ktlll open.
The supreme court decision uphold
ing the commission's order of 1908,
however, will bring some relief to
the payem of freight charges. Offici
als of the. comrnisson said today that
This consulate is In receipt of an
inquiry from an American manufac
turing concern asking for informa
tion in regard to the process of put
ting brass coating on copper wire,
which is afterwards drawn and flat
tened into what is known as "gold
lahn" a material used in the manu
facture of gilt braids, ornaments,
trimmings, etc.
Your consul has not the special
knowledge that would enable him to
give a technical description of this
process. Generally stated, It consists
In heating raw zinc in cast-Iron re
torts until it is reduced to a heavy
zinc vapor. The copper rod or wire is
then introduced into the retort and,
heated to a temperature of 900 to 1,
020 degrees C. on the outer parts of
the copper. At this temperature the
zinc vapor combines with the heated
copper, producing the desired result.
The copper is allowed to remain In
the retort until the brass coating at
tains the desired thickness.
The desired luster- is then produced
by burnishing and polishing during
or after the drawing process. The
brass coating follows the wire dur
ing the drawing process, which Is the
same aa that employed for the ordi
nary drawn wire. The brass coating
must be made thicker or thinner In
accordance with the degree of fine
ness to which the wire Is to be drawn.

Dequeen, Ark. In the circuit court
here a Jury returned a verdict of mur
der in the first degree against John
Ford and his wife, Lelia Ford, tried
for the killing of William Nicholas,
near this place, on September 30th.
Judge Cowling sentenced both to be
hanged on January 20th. The Fords
were tenants of Nichols, who was a
former member of tho Arkansas leg
islature. Tho tragedy resulted from Nichols
driving across a pea patch belonging
to the Fords to get to a hay barn
which he had reserved.
The testimony showed that Nichols
was stabbed to death with a knife by
Ford and that Mrs. Ford aided him
In the crime.
