Repeated Protest; Ousley Testifies
The cen«us of 1910 shows the
population of Denton county as
31.258 against 28,318 for 1900-
an increase of only a little more
than ten per cent.
iVhile this is both surprising
and disappointing, we are some
what consoled by the fact that
the customers of the Exchange
National Bank in that have in-
creased more than one hundred
per cent; the number at this
time being over two thousand.
The resources of the bank have
increased in practically the same
proportion, snowing at this time
more than $600,000.

peri mental Farm Want* Exhibit
At Farmers’ Congress Next Year.
Director Youngblood of the Texas
Farm Experimental stations, who
was here Tuesday visiting Supt.
Buell at the North Texas stst'oh.
urged Secretary Roark of the Chani-
berf of Commerce to co-operate with
Supt. Buell in making up an ef-
fective exhibit of Denton county's
farm products for the sess on of the
Farmers' Congress which meets at
College Station July 28 to 80 next
and which each year attracts suc-
cessful fsrmers from every section
of the stste. He thinks Denton
county can make an exceptionally
good showing, from what he saw
here, and that by secur ng specimens
of all of the 157 different varieties
of wheat seeded at the local <<xperi
ment station can put up_a remark-
able display of cereals The matter
will probably be acted on by the
Chamber of Commerce at an early
seas on to provide for preparing the
exhibit.
O. E. Cobb oi Lewisville was late
Tuesday afternoon awarded the con-
tract for building the roads in the
Ix-wisville road district, which re-
cently voted 275,0(M) worth of bonds
for the week Out of the six bids
•received, Mr. Cobb's wasthe lowest,
w th a price of $6,200 per mile for
the rock-macadam roads and $2.
395 a tulle for the gravel:
The engineer's estimate of the
work is that twenty miles of grave)
road and 3.2 miles of the hard-rock
macadam roads can be bu it in the
district, but Commissioner Sparks,
who ip thoroughly conversant with
the conditions in the district, be-
lle vea that a total of between twen-
ty-eight and thirty miles of road c*n
be bu.'lt with the appropriation at
hand
Bou<L>> tu Cincinnati.
After being nsured for $75,000
against loss or destruct'on the
bonds were Tuesday night sent by
registered mail to Cincinnati. O.,
in accordance with the contract for
the purchase by Woods 4c Co. of
Dallas. Mr Woods himself came
up on the ballas train Tuesday af-
ternoon. approved the bonds finally
and 'laid Ohe cash was awaiting’
thelf safe delivery ai Cincinnat-.
The sum paid for the issue at par
and acc rued interest s considerably
over $76,000.
r i •■clfieatlons for Work.
c h • specificati ons for the road
work contract for which »a* signed
Wednesday by Judge Hoskins for
the county and Mr. Cobb for him
self, calls for a uniform grade of
twenty feet in Width. The gravel
roads are to be covered with grave!
satisfactory to the superintendent
to an average depth of six inches
The rock-macadam roads are to te
made of crushed stone satisfactoty
to the county six inches in depth
on an average, surface: with two
inches of gravel. Work is to begin
wl thin thirty days after the contra*!
is signed up and is to be completed
within 280 days after the beginning.
A bond qf $10,600 is required of
the contractor for faithful pe--
formance of the work accord ng to
speciffcations J.
By reducing the width in some
places to twelve feet, wtych can be
done. Commissioner Si»afka thinks,
»r thout injury to the road. tbp
mileage can be considerably increas-
ed, and the contract provides for a
reduction In the per mile price in
proportion. By th s means Mr.
Sparks thinks the total mileage
liossible to be constructed with the
appropriation will be between
twenty-eight an*! thirty miles

Anonymous Ixxters identified.
Only five witnesses were exam-

Familiar with HamlwritinK.
He said he was familiar with aor-

letters Were "printed” with a pen,
and Dr. Norris had been required
to “print” one of them from dicta-
tion when the grand jury had the
documents under investigation. La-
ter the indictment was returned on
the grounds that Dr Noyrjs swore
before the grand jury that he was

The efforts of the defense seetned
to be along the line of showing that
