Justice Canty’s court. Located in the
North end of the basement of the
court house this is one of the hottest
offices in the building. The average
daily sessions of this as in most courts
having a criminal docket is attended
by more or less spectators and usually
the attendance is large. The atmos-
phere in this crowded court room is
frequently stifling and. is not uncom-
mon for the sessions to la,st three J
hours or more.
The court was provided with an
electric buzz fan which is a good piece
of mechanism of its kind but its en-
tirely out of place here, and totally
inadequate for the purpose intended.

which were additional features of de-
light.
Beach ball and beach tennis

Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 28.—Within the
next year Texas will be able to boast
of at least one, if not two tuberculosis
colonies for caring of indigent conr
sumptives. The commission created by
the legislature for the selection of
sites and the erection of buildings, etc.,
have already made sufficient progress
to insure at least the completion of
one of the colonies within the next
year.
The commission has just returned
from Carlsbad, about 14 miles from
San Angelo, Tom Green county, where
it has closed a deal for the purchase
of a tract of land on the Concho river,
near which one of the colonies will be
established, and the other will be 'es-
tablished at the old Fort Clark reser-
vation. The commission has just held
a meeting here, where it conferred
with several architects and builders
regarding the plans and specifications
for the colony.
Frank H. Bushick, one of the mem-
bers of the commission, said that these
architects were requested to furnish
plans and specifications for the estab-
lishment of a colony to cost close on
to $50,000 and which will be able to
accommodate at least 60 patients. As
soon as the plans and specifications are
submitted the board will have another
meeting, at which time a selection of
architect and contrator will be made
and work on the construction of the
buildings commenced at once. Mr.
Bushick said a more suitable location
for the colony near Carlsbad could not
have been made and this colony will
prove an ideal retreat for those suffer-
ing from tuberculosis.
In accordance with arrangements
made last week there gathered this
morning in 1 the office of Mr. J. W.
Terry of Terry, Cavin & Mills of this
city a meeting of representatives of
the various interests concerned in the
building of the causeway. The gentle-
men met shortly after 9 o’clock, the
session adjourning shortly after 1 p. m.,
when it is understood certain of the
representatives went over to the cause-
way site to look over the work. The
object of the meeting was not stated,
nor was there any information given
out as to what was discussed, but it is
presumed that among other matters the
meeting had under consideration the
subject .of filling, in regards to which
there was read before the county com-
missioners’ couit this morning a letter,
which is printed in another column.
It was also announced this morning
at the office of the North American
Dredging Company that the dredge
Galveston, which has been doing the
filling for the causeway, was work-
ing her way out and that the inten-
tions were to take the dredge to the
Bolivar work.
To the memory of William Olden-
burg, grand president of the grand
lodge of Sons of Herrmann of the state
of Texas, at the time of his death,
■which occurred Aug. 31, 1908, there was
unveiled and dedicated yesterday aft-
ernoon a handsome marble shaft.
The monument was presented by the
grand lodge and at the dedication cere-
monies there was present from several
cities of the state grand lodge repre-
sentatives and members of the local
organizations, the monument being re-
ceived and unveiled by Grand Secre-
tary John Windlinger of San Antonio,
who, in addition to officiating at the
ceremony, delivered an impressive and
appropriate address retrospective of
the life of the deceased.
The monument was presented to the
grand lodge by L. H. Newman of this
city, representing the committee on ar-
rangements, made up of members of
the three lodges of the city, the grand
lodge accepting the token and in turn
giving its keeping and care back to
the lodges of Galveston.
It was intended that the present
grand president, Mr. C. J. Von Rosen-
berg of La Grange, should be on hand,
but at the last moment he found’ he
could not be present, and as the grand
vice president, Mr. Haxthausen of
Houston, could not be here on account
of his duties at Austin, it devolved on
Grand Secretary Windlinger to repre-
sent the state body.
DELEGATES PRESENT.
Early trains brought to the city sev-
eral hundred representatives of the or-
der from Houston and San Antonio,
and these delegates were met at the
depot by the local committee and tak-
en to the hall of the Concordia Singing
society, where they ‘ were entertained
until 3 p. m., when, headed by the Gal-
veston band, the lodges formed in a
body, carrying draped flags, and after
marching through the principal streets
took cars to the. Odd Fellows’ ceme-
tery, where the remains of Mr. Olden-
burg are interred.
Here gathered around the monument,
hidden from view by draperies of black
cloth, the members gathered. Albert
Dietz of Houston, in conformity with
the ritual of the lodge, opened the cer-
emonies and in turn introduced Mr.
Newman.
. Mr. Newman delivered a brief ad-
dress^ stating in substance that here,
after a lapse of three years, members
of the organization which had honored
the decedent had again gathered to do
honor to his memory, and that his mem-
ory, e.ver green in the hearts of his fel-
lows, was to be perpetuated by a shaft
of imperishable marble, signifying un-
dying love and reverence for one
whose life had been spent in the up-
building of his order and in faithful
effort to perpetuate and protect the
home life of the German citizen.
He introduced Mr. Windlinger, who
in the German tongue, made a brief
talk, telling of the virtues of the deaa
executive and of the simple and faith-
ful life which recognized no class but
was a friend to rich and poor alike. At
the conclusion of his address, and
while the band was playing in solemn
notes the cord was pulled and there
was exposed to view the shaft.
THE SHAFT.
Tl|e shaft is a polished piece of
granite, rising six feet in the air from
a solid marble base, on which base in
German script appears the word “Old-
enburg.’ On the face of the shaft ap-
pears the following inscription:
medicine or treatment I tried
do any good,” writes
Youngpeters, editor of the Sun,
View. Ohio. “The first few doses G;
Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tab-
lets gave me surprising relief and the
second bottle seemed to give me a new
stomach and perfectly good health.”

dent, among them being Gus Reinhardt

over the cemetery the mournful notes

to a departed brother and an honored
officer of the lodge.

been present in body as well as

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 28.—To learn
to grow bigger crops is the main ob-
ject boiled down of the National Con-
servation Congress in Kansas City next
month. The whole tendency of the
American farm is to a decrease in pro-
ductiveness. As the population grows
larger the yield per acre, instead of
keeping pace, is growing smaller, and
at the present rate it is only a matter
of time when America will not be
growing enough to feed itself. Even
with the land that is now used put
into use, there will not be sufficient
grown from the soil to feed the people
unless less wasteful methods are
adopted. The diminution in produc-
tivity is traceable principally to three
causes:
Continuous cropping, coupled
injudicious seeding. This is to
counteracted by crop rotation, seed
lection and use of fertilizer.
Erosion is another great cause of
soil waste. The department of agricul-
ture estimates the annual loss due to'
this cause to be from 7 to 10 .per cent
on upland farms, or about $500,000,000
yearly for the entire country. Erosion
can be largejy or wholly prevented by
proper cultivation and selection of
crops.
Another crop loss is dtie to the rav-
ages of growing and ripening crops by
insects or sometimes by mammals.
This can be remedied by application of
modern methods.
Contrary to general belief, the great-
est crop yield does not come from the
richest land in America. The largest
yield of cereals is in the northeastern
states, where intense cultivation has
been made necessary by dense popu-
lation and the consequent scarcity of
land. The arid regions also outstrip
the rich valleys in productivity. In
the dry country careful selection in
cultivation has been induced by scar-
city of water.
Io supply the (needs of America’s
prospective population at the end of
the present century by merely increas-
ing the area of farm land would re-
quire that nearly two-thirds of. the
