”TMe man who has his yards full of
lumber right now may account him-
self a lucky man,” said one lumber
-dealer yesterday. ‘’The market is not
only as firm as it can well be, but the
tendency is for a much higher level of
prices than exists today. AH this talk
about the trust boosting prices is
balderdash. When there is not a mill
in the state that is not behind in fill-
ing orders on hand, why shouldn't the
price of lumber go up? The prospects
for a big demand for lumber could
hardly be better.” _
Selling Water in the City. L
To the Editor of The Record:
Fort Worth, July 24. — Replying to
Jake Zurn in Sunday's Record, it may
be the proper thing to extend the water
mains outside the city and it may not be*
Would it not be best to first extend
the water mains inside the city limits
to parties demanding water service? "It
is with pleasure. I note,” Mr. Zurn says,
” we have an abundance of water.” Is it
for sale to parties inside the city 1im-
its? I desire water connections for as
many as twenty cottages close in and
near present existing water mains, and
notwithstanding I have repeatedly re-
quested that water be furnished me
nothing has been done in the premises.

when seen by a Record reporter, said:
“Yes, I have examined the law
passed by the last legislature, imposing
an occupation tax on the person deal-
ing in the unearned wages of another.
This law has been very much needed
for some time, and. if enforced, will
be a great help to the wage-earning
class, and in the administration of the
affairs of my office it will be enforced.
I have had a great many women come
to my office, claiming that they had
been charged simply outrageous rates
of interest on weekly loans, but up
until the time this law went into effect
I have been unable to render any as-
sistance to these unfortunate people,
except to advise them of the law which
says they can recover twice the
amount paid in usurious interest. The
law passed by the last legislature will
give relief to the situation in a sub-
stantial way.”
A reporter of The Record talked to
about twenty-five people about this
matter, and it is safe to say that he
heard of at least a hundred cases of
usurious interest being charged and

This is not a good year for the fruit
business,” said ex-County Commissioner
J. H. Hightower, who was in the city
yesterday with a wagonload of fine El-
i erta peaches—as fine as a man could
wish for. “The crop is a very abundant
one, but I say that I do not consider it
a good one from the fact that the trees
are too heavily laden. As a result the
fruit is small and the market is not as
strong as it would be if the fruit was
larger. The reason why the trees are
so full of fruit is because we have had
a great quantity of rain and no late
frost to thin the fruit out. Why, the
trees at my place at Smithfield are so
full of fruit that the limbs hangs al-
most to the ground.”
Mr Hightower states that unless the
farmers have some hot and dry weather
right soon the cotton crop in the coun-
ty will be light this year. “Cotton is
looking well in my portion of the coun-
ty,” said Mr. Hightower, “and I have
some that is waist high. We have had
too much rain, however, and cotton is
growing too rapidly. It is growing so
fast that the bolls have not the oppor-
tunity to put out at the joints of the
cotton, and in this way the crop is not
assuming the proportions it should, and
it will take the very best of weather
during the next four or five weeks to
bring it around. Give us hot and dry-
weather during the month of August
and I think we will make our crops. If
properly cultivated cotton can put on
one-half of a bale to the acre.
“Corn is doing very well but the
small grain crop is mighty light. In
my vicinity wheat is badly damaged in
the shock; in fact, it is almost ruined.
Oats will average about twenty-five
bushels to the acre and will make half
a crop.”
Mr. Hightower says that he has the
finest Elberta peaches In Tarrant coun-
ty. He has an orchard of three acres
and the crop will amount to something
over 500 bushels. He also has a erop of
about 100 bushels of pears that will be
on the market during the latter part of
August and early ^September.

Lana Title Black,
Fort Worth. - - Texas
Fort Worth is preparing to take care
of her part of the bonus for the pro-
posed interurban line to Mineral Wells.
Everyone to whom a Record reporter
talked yesterday seemed to realise that
now is the time for Fort Worth to
strike for thia development.
Many prominent merchants were in-
formally interviewed on the subject and
me unanimous opinion was that the
line would bring people to Fort Worth,
and people who come here spend money,
and every dollar that is spent in Fort
worth goes to build up the town.
Here is the swing they are taking
For instance, W. G. Turner of Fakes A
Co. met a member of the committee ap-
pointed to took after Fort Worth’s share
at the bonus and, without waiting to be
asked, said;
"I will subscribe. It’s a good thing. .
Fort Worth needs this interurban line
and we should have it. It is not only a ;
good thing for today, but it will be a
splendid thing for tomorrow. There is
geing to be a network of interurban
unes in this part of the state and why
not have Fort Worth for the center or j
these lines just as she is the railroad j
center of the state? This is Fort Worth’s "
opportunity to become the interurban
center of North Texas and, with the
Mineral Wells line in operation, it will
be only a question of a year or two un- i
til we will have other interurban lines."
Will Monnin of the Monnig Dry Goods
company, when seen by a Record re-
porter, said:
"Yes, sir; it will be a splendid thing
for Fort Worth to get tikis line. It will
bring people here and that is what we'
want. People when they come to Fort
Worth spend money and we want them
to come here. It wi)l not only help the
retail trade, but it will also help the
jobbers. We need the road and Fort
Worth generally gets what she needs
and goes after, and incidentally you can
tell the committee which has this mat-
ter in charge to call on me and we will
subscribe.’*
John C. Harrison of the State Na-
tional bank is heartily in favor of the
movement and thinks the bonus should
be raised. He thinks the amount can
be raised from the property owners up
to the county line. He also took occa-
sion to remark on the way the value of
land would be enhanced and said if he-
owned property and this proposed line
was built through it he could make
money by deeding a one-third interest
to the man who would build the road.
The soliciting committee appointed at
Saturday's meeting met and organized
yesterday afternoon. It was decided
before beginning the work of actual
canvassig to Issue an address to the
people, setting forth the great valuero
the road to every line of business and
investment In this city. The address
will be prepared some time today and
will be published perhaps tomorrow.
Meanwhile every member of the com-
mittee reported one or more voluntary
subscriptions from representative men
None of-those has been definitely set
down but the committee was much en-
couraged by the expressions heard since
Saturday. .
“It is no small matter to raise $35.-

in Fe p+ Worth, but the advantages of
this line are so manifest and the eX-
nressions are so encouraging that I De,

Eighth and Heuston Sts- third floor.
DARNELL LUMBER CO.
Yesterday morning saw a number of
tanned and tired, yet happy and satisfied
railway mail clerks return to work after
a ten days' stay on the Concho, near San
Angelo.
“Yes, I should say we did have a
good time," said W. O. Davis, one of
the paity, in response to a question as
to whether or not they had had a good
time. “And luck? Well, say, we had so
many fish that we began to feel more
at home in the water than on dry land.
We also brought home more than fifty
pounds of fish, and while they were
mostly channel cat, still we caught a
number of bass. The catfish would
weigh all the way from two pounds to
eight, but the bass were not so large.
The largest one we caught would not
weighpver two pounds.”
But the feature of the trip and the
memento that caused the most general
interest was the huge gar fish, the
skin of which was brought back as a

in such securities, to the detriment of
a community, to pay $10,000 a year as
occupation tax but it goes even fur-

assignment or transfer at a rate of
profit or discount, or at a price, which
will yield a greater rate of interest

amount paid for such assignment or
transfer, and that in any case of viola-

transfer may recover from . the prin-
