A tobacco manufacturer and
grower who recently returned her
after a trip into Cuba brought back
a story that will be gratifying to
the Texans in this part of the State
who are experimenting with the
plant to ascertain its value as a
crop to the grower on Texas soil
says the Galveston News.
His main object in going to Cuba
was to see the plant the soil the
crop and the treatment process.
With this plan before him in con-
nection with pleasure he took vith
him upon leaving Texas a half
dozen samples of leaves from as
many parts of Eastern Texas along
thejihe of the Texas and New
Orleans branch of the Southern
Pacific. He procured it to make
comparisons in every way mat
might be serviceable. After using
these leaves to the extent of their
usefulness his brain fell upon i
test that he wanted to apply which
would be proof positive for or
against Texas. It required con-
siderable nerve as he admitted but
he did it anyway. In Havana he
called upon one of the old manufac-
turers at his establishment and
handed him these Texas leaves
asking him at the same time where
they were grown. The Cuban ex-
pert looked them over carefully and
answered:
"This tobacco was grown in San
Juan in the Vuelto Abajo district."
This was so highly gratifying to
the American that he could not
refrain from telling the Cuban that
the tobacco .as a matter of fact
was grown in Eastern Texs in the
United States. This completely
confounded the Cuban but he asked
to keep the samples. They had
been talcen from different points in
eastern counties of the State now
engaged in raising sample crops. It
is pertinent to mention here that
the Vuelto Abajo district in Cuba
grows the best smoking tobacco
brought from that country.

RICE BAGS ARB
A USELESS EXPENSE.
Eagle Lake Advertiser:
Bags for corn and wheat were
found to he a useless expense and
have long since been discarded by
every wreat growing State in the
Union. Rice then with its gigantic
proportions must lookout for its
own interests. It is not placing the
cost too high when The Advertiser
declares that the cost of sacks the
twine the extra expense of handling
the heavy sacks will reach 15 or
16 cents per bag basing the estimate
on a 300 bag run per day by each
thresher. It will eat up $50 00 each
day to handle this amount of rice
and every rice mill every canal
man and every farmer who have
given the matter any thought
must admit that 19 per cent of the
crop or nearly so is spent in this
way and there is absolutely no
returns for this outay except in
the weight of sale which however
is comparatively small. The same
relief that came to wheat must
come sooner or Iafer to rice.
Alice Echo:
Mr. S. A. Hamlin the well drill-
er was in town this week on a
visit to his family. In answer to
the question "How is the well-boring
business on the Santa Rosa"
Mr. Hamlin replied: "I have
just finished two wells we call them
the Twin Sisters as each one is
541 feet deep and cased with 5 5-8
casing and only six feet apart and
each has two strata of water."
"That's rather unusual" put in
the Echo reporter "is it not to get
two artesian wells sojclose together?"
"Oh no" replied Mr. Hamlin
"I have done this very thing on
three different occasions but mak-
ing double wells so close to each
other is very difficult as the pres-
sure on the second well usually
cuts off the flow an the first one
made and the reverse is sometimes1
the case unless one knows how to
do it.'
"Do yon intend to put down any
more artesian wells for Col. D. R.
Fant" asked the reporter: "Yes I
am instructed to move the machine
eight feet and go down 1500 feet
and see 'what's down there?"
The reporter then asked Mr.
Hamlin to give the reasons why
Mr. Fant is making his wells so
close together. His explanation:
"Now. I will sav that Col. Fant is
not running the rig it is done by
the other man with a few sugges
tions from the colonel. We should
know our business as I am twenty-
one years in this line of work. The
reason I make two wells together is
it pays to dd it and will give you
an idea of what we have to handle
when we take down to move the
boiler a 45 H. P. and weighs 9000
pounds the engine is- a Duplex
friction hoist 28 H. P. and weighs
7000 lbs; the big pump is a Smith
valve 4 inch suction 2 1-2 dis-
charge and weighs 2000 libs. The
rotary is a 16 inch A. M. and
weighs 1200. The derrick is 72 feet
high with a 20 foot base and has
9 sills 8x10 for foundation as the
derrick is not a bolted one it has
to come down piece at a time.
When you consider this and that it
takes 14 head of mules to move the
boiler you will have a different
view of the matter. In moving a
few feet we do it with jack screws
our results are like this in first well
with two strata of water fill a
5 5-8 turn off and with the aeoond
hole from 3 to 6 feet from first hole
you get a big 4 inch flow from each
well nearly equal to an 8 inch
forced stream."

MUCH-DIRECTED ROADS.
The Irish railways are said to
have more directors in proportion
to their size importance and earn-
ing capacity than any similar cor-
poration in the world. They average
one director to every 20 miles of
road. In 1872 when an effort was
made to have the roads brought
under the supervision of the State
they averaged one director to every
six miles of road. At that time
there were 56 roads averaging 48
mile3 in length. They had 430
directors 56 solicitors 56 secretaries
and 70 engineers. Plate Matter.
