In the district court here, in the
famous land spit of the state of
Texas vs. Leon and H. Blum,
judgment was rendered giving the
state some 600 sections of land.
The suit was for 1012 sections, but
the court decided that the state was
--not entitied to bftt HOO sections of

Amended the Wrong Law.
The last legislature in amending
the assessment ^Wrjbnemied
assessment act tnat had been re-
pealed^ and which had provided
for thS assessment of dogs. The
tax rolls of the counties received
have assessed dogs to a more or
less extent. Travis county tax
rolls show 259 dogs, valued at
$697. * Anybody living in Austin
knows she has at least 259 dogs in
t each of her twelve wards. Some
j • counties have rendered a great
many dogs at no value, while one
county rendered 1000 dogs valued
at $10 each, while another county
had a $55 dog and not a few had
$25 dogs, and graded on down to a
great many having no value.

despite the fact that the conclusion1
arrived at seems to be definite, I
believe that their noble and patri-

believes the people of Texas would
not approve of the purchase of

acres, if necessary,' and of the ap-
propriation of even $100,000 to
lay it off into a park and beautify

pride is not dead in Texas. . I do
not believe there can be elected—*
a majority of legislators who will
refuse to vote, any appropriation
necessary to preserve the battle-
field to the state and make it a
bequtiful park. Sentiment of the
noble and exalted kind ..is as much
a part of the life and power of a
State or Nation aud as essential to
its prosperity as are railroads,
banks and cotton fields. Mf elected C

necessary to carry out the purposes

cause I believe it to-be right—-and
because I know the people of Tex-

be respected. Any petty, puling
