COURT HOUSE REPAIRS.
Foundations Being Reinforced With
Concrete and Entire Roof to be
Made Stronger

Judge Hoard and the members of the
commissioners' court have recently be-
gun some extensive repairs on the
Brazos county court house that were
badly needed and that are designed I f the leaf and with his bare fingers
to -ave the building from damage that j separated deftly one or two of the

great date. In fact the damage is al- jr. length of the leaf much as the

lace of this city. The foundations
never were lame enough and The
Kagle is informed that instead of ex-
temlitig out farther than the first
course of rock that the rock protruded
several inches over the foundations.
The dirt is being removed exposing
the foundation and then the concrete
added making it much heavier and
wider bringing it out some eighteen
inches on the outside of the first
course of stone. The work is substan-
tial and will no doubt save the build-
ing from further damage.
The commissioners have also had
Prof. Ciesecke to prepare plans for
repairing the whole top superstructure j
of the building It appears that the.
top of the building was never made se- J
cure and it is jarred by every hard
wind causing swaying and vibrations
that are injuring the building. This
is to be remedied by a thorough sys-
tem of bracing and strengthening the
entire roof of the building making It
steady and secure.

PROF. P. S. TILSON HAS DISCOV-
ERED PRACTICABLE SOURCE
OF CORDAGE AND PAPER.
SUPPLIES BIG WANT
United States May Become Independ-
ent of Foreign Imports for Fibre
Cordage and Paper Pulp.
A discovery has been made by a
ffouston chemist that may add at
least two important industries to
Texas reclaim the sands of the desert
and save this country millions of dol-
lars in Import charges. Working in
his laboratory Prof. P. S. Tilson has
produced from common cactus leaves
a fibre said to be superior to hemp
for making rope a pulp better than
wood pulp for the manufacture of pa-
lcr. and a residue that yields appre-
ciable (piantities of alcohol and glue.
The cactus plant from which these
products are taken is known as the
llenequin cactus which grows in pro-
fusion in Southwest Texas near the
border. It is not the same plant from
which the Mexicans made the intoxi-
cating "pulque." but Is one that has a
long leaf often growing to the length
of six feet and Prof. Tilson says that
the fibres may be taken out of the
leaf unbroken throughout its entire
length.
To illustrate he picked up a piece
filires are stronger than manilla or cot-
ton fibre and unlike them cannot be
picked apart. They are easily separ-
ated from the leaf and require no
chemical treatment.
Tin- iniMirtance of this discovery
j can be appreciated only when it is
realized that practically all the rope
and cordage used in this country is
imported and practically all the fibre
used is imported at great cost. More
than twelve million pounds were ex-
ported last year of raw fibre to lie
manufactured into rope and cordage
and bagging. Hut with the vast
amount of cactus that abounds in
West Texas there is no reason why. in
the light of this discovery that the
I'nited States should import fibre and
(ordage into this country.
Rope and cordage and bagging
however are not the greatest product
which this cactus plant promises tit
develop. From the pulp of the leaf
Prof. Tilson manufactrued by hand an
excellent grade of rough wrapping pa-

per and It is his belief that when put
through the heavy rollers of' the pa-
per mill this product would make an
extra strong and superior wrapping
paper or a splendid filler for a good
grade glazed paper.
In this connection it is not unlikely
Ithat the discovery of Prof. Tilson will
i be hailed w ith delight by the paper
1 manufacturers in this count rv. The
I
material most used for paper manufac
ture in the I'nited States has been
woml pulp taken from our great
spruce and hemlock forests of the past
j but which have now prac tically dis-
appeared. For this reason for the past
jfew years the I'nited States has been
j importing from the Canadian spruce
and hemlock forests practicallv all
I
j the material for the manufacture of
j print paper.
! Hut in the meantime the Canadian
government has placed a high proter
r
itive retaliatory tariff export duty on j
i wood pulp and as a result the man- j
; t
ufacturers throughout the country I
' have been forced to look for some
substitute that can be used instead.)
L Several experiments have been made
i with various grasses and prominent I
' i
among the experimenters has been j
John W. Gates of Port Arthur. Texas j
who talks of erecting a paper mill at
Port Arthur to manufacture paper out
of straw.
Not only will this pulp make an ex-
cellent grade of paper but promises
well as a substitute for sisal grass
most of which is imported from Cuba.
In addition to the fiber and the pulp
to be extracted from the cactus Is a
small quantity of alcohol and glue.
Whether these abound in commercial
quantities. Professor Tilson has not
yet determined to his satisfaction.
But the fact of their presence in con-
siderable quantities he has establish-
ed beyond doubt. He is enhusiastic
about his discovery and has every rea
son to be for if the hideous cactus
can be made to yield that which Amer
ica must Import the professor will be
entitled to have his name placed in an
adjoining niche with that great man
who made two bades of grass grow
where only one grew before. Houston
