EVERY DOG HIS DAY.
The Standard Oil Company that tentacled monster whose
corrupting methods and besmirching influences have not only
dethroned in many instances the fundamental principles of demo-
cratic government but has reached into our very social life with
its demoralizing greed is at last beginning to receive some well
deserved knocks. Through its subsidiary bloodsucker the
Waters-Pierce Oil Co.- it is the recipient of a few gentle taps at
the hands of the courts and attorney general of the Lone Star
State. After declaring the Waters-Pierce Co. a trust and assess-
ing penalties aggregating more than a million and a half dollars
the state now asks that a reciever be appointed to take the hold-
ings of the trust. The trust through its attorneys offered bond
to the amount of $3750000 pending an appeal of the case after
a new trial had been refused. The state promptly declined to
accept the bond as the surety offered had only $k)000 on deposit
in the state of Texas. In offering argument asking for the ap-
pointment of a receivership the states' attorney made the point
that unless a receiver was appointed the trust would pending
the result of the appeal raise the price of oil enough to derfay
THE COTTON SITUATION.
Reports from the cotton belt have a tendency to boost the price
of the fleecy staple and altogether there has never been a more
favorable outlook for high priced cotton. With the continued
drought in some localites the excessive rains in others terrific
and devastating storm& in numerous nortions of the country and
the inevitable inroads of the destroying boll weevil prospects for the expenses incurred by the suit.
the curtailment of the crop seem flattering. Texas will perhaps
suffer less loss from these adverse conditions than will Louisiana BROWNWOOD BUSINESS PROPERTY.

THE PROPOSED WACO ROAD.
Mr. McKnight a member of the railroad committee of the
Waco Board of Trade in his address at the mass meeting Friday
afternoon informed the business men of the two cities that noth-
ing need be expected in the way of an extenson of the Cotton
Belt-railroad to Brownwood. -Mr. McKnight stated that as .a
member of the railroad committee he had been definitely inform-
ed on this point by the Cotton Belt officials. He said that he had
received intimation however from the H. & T. C. which road
has already ten miles of track constructed directly in line to
Brownwood that if the proper encourgement should be offered
an extension could be built to Brownwood. The railroad com-
mittee of the Brownwood Fifty Thousand Club should at once
hold a conference with the Waco committee and then a delegation
upon which to work. Waco Brownwood and Hamilton should be CODlp)eted about $26000. and which will hold in check an im-
mense quantity of water for the city's use. The dam is located
within easy distance of the city and if the twenty-five acres of
land owned by the city and which lies just south of the dam

land is covered with giant pecan trees and with-very little effort.
discovered that although property is not exorbitantly high here
it is difficult to purchase a business house. This condition arises
from the fact that every building is occuDied at a rent that
makes the property a good interest bearing investment and the
owner does not care to dispose of it Vacant lots can be pur-
chased at moderate prices but the Dallas man .wanted a building
to open a business in at once. This leads up to the point which
the Bulletin has insistently placed before the people of Brown
wood that we need more business houses here and that we are
constantly losing good enterprises on account of the scarcity of
such buildings. If every owner of a business building in Brown
wood refuses to dispose of that building even at a good profit is
it not a splendid argument that no better investment could be
I made than to construct more buildings.
PARK AT NEW DAM.
Hundreds of people were out at the new city dam yesterday

BROiVNWOOD'S ICE CREAM FACTORIES.
Brownwood lias had two notable additions to her industrial
sphere during the past few months. We refer to the two ice
cream factories now doing business in the city the Alamo and the tne act of land could be made an attractive pleasure resort
Magnolia factories. The Fifty Thousand Club as well as each
individual citizen wants to see Brownwood a manufacturing city.
In order to do this we should duly appreciate those enterprises
which start here and no better example of a home industry can
be found than the two ice cream factories. The plants are in
active operation and are turning out about one hundred gallons
of cream each day supplying the home trade (almost exclusive-
ly) and shipping their products to all the towns along the Frisco
and Santa Fe for a radius of a hundred miles. And as yet the
industry is only in its infancy. One factory has been in opera-
tion'&carcely two months and the other less than a single month.
More than four hundred dollars are paid out to the farmers and
dairymen around Brownwood each month by these two institu-
tions for cream and milk and as we have stated the business is
hardly started. Within the next year it is more than probable
thatf the output of the factories will more than double their pre-
sentrproductions and the manufacture of ice cream will become
one of the important assets of Brownwood. Heretofore this city
has sent to Fort Worth and Dallas for her cream. The to home
factories are finding no difficulty in selling their procducts for
the quality of the goods is not only guaranteed but is becoming
recognized over this section as the standard of purity and excel- -
lence in that line. The Bulletin believes in lending every en-
couragement to these home enterprises. Brownwood wants fac-
tories and if outside capital is slow about establishing them here
let home capital do in other lines as it has done in the ice cream
business.

Veteran Humorist Sail Has Given Up
His Work.
New York June 8 Mark Twain
sailed for England today where
he will receive the degree of doc-
tor of literature at Oxford on
J une 26. He will return to Amer-
ica on the 30.
Before sailing the humorist
said he had given up his work
but was busily engaged dictating
his autobiography which "will
not be published until I am
thoroughly and satisfactorily
dead."
I have made it as caustic.
fiendish and devilish as I nossi
bly could. I have spared no one.

THE SCHOOL.
Whtre the Fore and After Be ate the
Square Rigger.
The ability of the schooner to meet
the requirements of present day con
dltlons while the square riggers have
been found wanting can be readily
undorstood wheu we take Into consid
eration the numerous advantages pos
sessed by the fore and aft rig that are
essential to the Ideal carrier.
Operating expense that prime factor
in all transportation problems Is here
reduced to a minimum for there is no
motive power so cheap as the free
winds of heaven and no other craft so
well adapted to utilize and control this
force. The sails are of handy form
and can be readily handled from the
deck by a handful of men or with
steam power if desired. The schooner
can sail several points nearer the eyo
of the wind than a square rlgcer I.-
able to do.
Built on the old clipper model they
sail like witches and owing to their
peculiar constructions can be readily
loaded and discharged. They require
but little ballast and having no heavy
top hamper can if necessary to the
trade take on immense deck loads.
In Uie lumber traffic of the Fao!n
northweHt we find these vessels leav-
ing port with huge deck loads tower-
ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail
Occasionally they get caught In a blow
and have to sacrifice a portion of the
deck load but 'where one meets sucT
a mishap dozens reach their design
