CELEBRATE TODAY

Cedar Rapids, la., June 9.—A cele-
bratleu was held today in honor of
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Or-
der of Railroad Telegraphers, which
was organised in Cedar Rapids, June
9, 1886. The organisation started
with a dozen members. In twenty-
five years it has developed into one
of the largest and most Influential
labor organisations in America, with
20,000 members representing the tele-
graph and kindred services of virtual-
ly all- the reading railroad systems of
the United States, Canada and Mexi-
co. For more than twenty years
the order had its headquarters in
Cedar Rapids, but a few years ago
the offices were removed to St.
Louis.
others is shown by the fact that there
were 30 classes, with 702 members
studying the missionary field during
the year. I
"Financially the report is excellent
a total of $531.93 has been given for
home missions, $918.84 for foreign mis-
sions, societies have given $386.45 for
the support of the State Union and
$177.96 for district union work.
"The Christian Endeavor head-
quarters' building fund has also been
largely added to during the past year,
a total of $323.80 being reported,
though this does not include but a
very small proportion, if any, of the
sums pledged for this work during the
"whirlwind campaign” of Mr. Kark
Lehmann, inter-state field secretary,
last March, when he secured a total
of $1,182.17 to be paid within the next
year and a half. For special purposes,
not enumerated by the societies, a to-
tal of #1,695.66 was expended, and

Even a drouth has its advantages.
The weeds are not so prolific, nor does
the lawn require mowing quite so of-
| ten.
It certainly takes an optimist of
the truest type to hold a stiff upper lip
when the corn blades are sizzling, cot-
ton wilting, tanks drying up and most
every one bemoning the fate of the
drouth-stricken. But we have a few

Jones & Orlopp, the architects, are
very optimistic in discussing present
conditions from the standpoint of gen-
eral Improvement* and Inform The
Times that the buildings for which
plans are In progress and those In
contemplation . bespeak anything but
depressed conditions at this time.
They are at present working on a
number of plans for buildings of an
expensive nature, and state that
there are numerous instances where
parties have concluded to erect build-
ings but with reference to which mat-
ters have not sufficiently progressed
to permit the information to be giv-
en out by them. Not only is this
true of Wichita Falls, but they state
that there is considerable building ac-
tivity In the surrounding section of
the state and in some instances large
amounts are to be spent for improve-
ments.
In connection with the plans being
for the current expenses of the so-
ciety 8893.87, which shows a grand
total of $5,640.48 expended by the so-
cieties during the past year.
“Very few societies have been re-
ported as disbanded while we have
been able during the past two years
to report to the United Society at
Boston a gain of 166 up to May 1st,

before the 30th of June when the final
report of the State Union is made.

The nice little bouquet thrown The
Times and its editor by the Baylor
County Banner is duly appreciated, but
modesty forbids Its reproduction here.
The Times has always tried to be a
good newsy paper, and to treat every-
body fairly. But while speaking of
good papers, it always reminds us of
better ones, and in this latter class we
place the Baylor County Banner.

■ newspaper men in Texas, and a maga-
1 zine writer of considerable note, has
I accepted a responsible position on the
I staff of the new Chinese dally paper,

1 China, by a few prominent and well-
I known American newspaper men. The

One groat thing about this section
of country is the fact that it is always
possible to make something in the way
of crops—no matter how scant the
rainfall. This brings to mind the fact
that while the rainfall In this part of
Texas has been less this year than
for almost any other year since the
precipitation record ‘has been kept,
farmers report that the cotton crop
is yet in good condition, is thrifty—<
possibly more so than was the case
last year at this time, and the acreage
being larger there ia not much doubt
but that with just a few more light
rains the yield for the county and
those adjoining will be at. least one-
third more than last year, . In other
words, last year Wichita County pro-
duced a 11,000-bale crop. This year
the prospects are very flattering for
a crop of at least 16,000 or 17,000
bales. And another thing that is favor-
able is the price of the staple which.

heretofore published a list of some of
the buildings included, including, the
school building at Jermyn, the resi-
dence of Lynn Boyd in Bellevue Ad-
dition and the residences' of C. J.
Barnard and A. 8. Fonville in Flora)
Heights, all of which will be very
creditable buildings and an ornament
to the respective communities in
which they will be located. Other
plans are in preparation but these are
not yet ready to be given out to the
public.

being a noticable absense of "home
folks” at the meeting.
The service was opened with a
musical program following which Rev.
Calhoun of Fort Worth, conducted a
short devotional service, reading from
the twelfth chapter of Romans. The
speaker referred to the impression
that this passage had made upon him
and the good that he had received
therefrom, as did many others in Con-
nection with the devotional service.
President Roach of McKinney, then
called the convention to order and
City Attorney Fred W. Householder
welcomed the delegates on behalf of
the city, being followed by Rev. J.
P. Boone, who extended the welcome
of the churches and pastors, after
which Attorney Geo. W. McDowell
welcomed those present on behalf of
the young people's societies here.
The response to the address of wel-
come was made by Rev. Colby D.
Hall of Waco, in which he stated on
behalf of the convention their pleas-
ure in accepting the, many good
things offered by the speakers pre-
ceding him. He said they were glad
to meet in Wichita Falls and ac-
cepted in well chosen words the
thrice extended welcome. In this
connection Mr. Hall took occasion to
compliment this city and especially
the Christian Endeavor Committee for
the splendid provisions for the enter-
tainment of the delegates. Wichita
Falls, he said, was a wall advertised
town, but at this he expressed no sur-
prise as the work in connection with
the publicity campaign In behalf of
the present session had shown that
its people spared no pains or expense
along this line. Further referring to
Wichita Falls the speaker called at-
tention to the magnificent churches
as evidence of an enterprising Chris-
tian people, a church-going people,
and one that was of such a character
as to make it pleasant for guests on
such occasions as that of, the En
deavor convention. Mr. Han refer
red to Lake Wichita and the meeni
flcent water supply available and re-
minded his hearers that although
Texas would be "dry" after July 22
still Wichita Falls would have plenty
of water. In this connection the
speaker provoked some amusement at yusveruny we----e -----------

tion of one of their number on ar-

This practice, he said, was Intolera
ble in the eyes of a citizen of Dalls*,
who had been taught to waste not a
drop of the precious liquid, and as
Mr. Hall told 1L this Dallas friend,
forgetting for a moment that he was
not at home, wanted ' to warn the
stranger so guilty in his eyes, for
fear that he be Arrested for the crime
against a suffering people.
nr. P. J., Rice, pastor of the First
Christian Church at El Paso, was the
principal speaker of the evening, hav-
ing been selected to sound the key-
note of the convention. Dr. Rice re
ferrod to the fact that he had been
assigned a subject contained in the
one word "Forward," but he took the
liberty of changing this to "Arise and
Go” Using for his text the command of
God to Nineveh.
Elaborating on the theme, the
speaker stated that he believed that
men were called in this day and time
to different phases of Christian work
just a* God had called Jonah to preach
to Nineveh the wicked city. In this
connection he recited the work of
eminent men who had sacrificed
wealth and position to carry out some
mission with the importance of which
they had been impressed, as he be-
lieved. who was content to go
from mansion to apartments, from
luxury to the simple life, and Anally
to a premature grave, in the fight he
conceived to be for the best interest
of the masses of the people. Other
personalities were recited by the speak
er in connection with his efforts to
emphasive the thought laid down in
his declaration that men are being
called every day to some work for

“I don’t know what can be done
about the matter right now,” said
Miles O’Reilley, "but we certainly
need and should have the Improve-
ment; Its the biggest thing ever con-
templated for Wichita Falls.
"At the time Mr. Kemp began work-
ing the matter up several years ago,”
said Mr. O’Relliev "I was a member of
the engineering corps, that made the
surveys and reported the estimates
of cost of dam etc., at 11,500,000.
"That is an immense amount of
money to come from men engaged In
a private enterprise and I favor the
plan of having it done by the gov-
ernment, the cost to be paid by an-
nual assessments.
"I sincerely hope,” said Mr. O'Rei-
ley, "that action will be taken in the
matter at an early date for I regard
it as very important to the best in-
terests of this city and surrounding
country.”
Mr. O’Reilley stated that the gov-
ernment engineers report shows that
the possible irrigation area by the
contemplated system Is 448,320 acres
and that it is comprised of the rich-
est farm and truck producing lands
in this section of the state..

Reverting to the text, he referred
to the fact that the call to Jonah to
“Arise and go to Nineveh, that wick-
er city," was an urgent call, just a
was the call to the Christian Endeavor
forces to go forth in the work and bat- /
tie for the principals of Christianity.
The call, he said, was an important
one, and in this connection the speak-
er referred at length to the mission ;
of the Christian Endeavor and urged I
a step "forward" to a deeper Chris- T
tian life.
In discussing his subject further, 1
Dr. Rice reminded his hearers that
although Jonah had bestitated, his vic-
tory when he had done as God had
called, was so wonderful that he
could not comprehend its extent. The ,
thing, he said, is to do the work and 1
God will do the rest.
Dr. Rice’s address was an able one 1
and was listened to attentively during 1
the forty-live minutes consumed in |
its delivery. l

use was discontinued at the request
of Patrick Henry, expressed through
Rev. Colby D. Hall. The badges were
intended as a boost for Mr. Henry for
president, but it was his desire that
the action, although appreciated as a
testimonial of esteem, be discontinued
that the convention might select the
next presiding officer without undue
influence of display* prior to the time
of the ballot, as Is the rule of the
organization.

Patrick Henry, chairman of the
