GALVESTON December U. The Qal-
vesron Pilot a' aaaotatlon la endeavorlnE
to secure for tbla port the station of the
new boor tender which I now being
constructed by the government for una
In the Gulf. At this time according tot
Captain Rucker T. Carrol master of the
association there la but one buoy tender
located in the Gulf the Magnolia which
has as lta territory the entire Gulf district
frorm Cedar Keys to the Hlo Grande a
territory ( which Is Impossible to cover
wfth one vessel.
In Galveston harbor one of the most
important ports and entrances on the
entire Gulf coast there Is almost con-
stant' use for a buoy tender having to
attend to buoys and chanDel markers for
all branches of the bay Including Gal-
veston proper Bolivar Houston ship
channel. Teiaa. City and other Inlets be-
sides the bays to the west.
With the opening up of the new trade
to Velasco and the tncreasMl traffic to
Corpus Chrlsti and nearby points a ves-
sel stationed here could be kept con-
stantly busy and many defects that ex-
ist at times for weata at a time such as
driftlns; buoys. dislodVed channel markers
etc.. could be prompfly remedied.
It Is stated by Captain Carrol that the
whistling buoy an Important channel
marker located about ona and one-half
miles to east of the end of the Jetties
has been missing for some time.
At other times there has also been re-
ports of lights being out and markers
displaced which have gone on for some
time due to tha fact that the Magnolia
could not get around to attend to them.
The station of the Magnolia Is now
at Mobile and with the nw vessel sta-
tioned at Galveston much could be done
to improve conditions.
Captain Carrol also states that the two
lights recently erected in the Tpxss City
channel are owing to their location prac-
tically worthless to navigators owing to
their belra placed a long distance ircm
the recognized channel. Captain Carrol
says that the lights are tirst class ones
and fully ip to requirements in every
reapert but situated as tley are they are
to a person not acquainted with the chan-
nel misleading. lt Is understood that
the matter has been taken up with a view
of having them replaced nearer the
proper channel.

Industrial Agent Sunset-Central Lines
on the Houston and Texas Central AT
rtcultural Educational Train.
In arranging the program of tbe talks
and lectnrea -for the different towns and
cities Included In the . Itinerary of tha
trip? it waa suggested that H would not
be Inappropriate to call the attention of
visitors and others Interested In the Sua-set-Central
agricultural educational train'
or farmers' college on wheels to the re-
lations existing between the railroads sad
the farmers and that a few brief remarks
on thiseubjeot at several stopping places
during the trip would cot be considered
out of place.
Having been requested to make a short
talk on the subject referred to I can as-
sure you that the few remarks that 1
shall male on this occasion are presented
with the best Intentions and ir. an en-
tirely friendly spirit with good will to
all and Ilk feeling toward none. Unfor-
tunately it la a fact that a great many
people seem to prsfer to give railroad
officials more cussing than credit for what
they do and who seem to take particular
delight In criticising railroad regulations
and finding fault with those who superin-
tend railroad affairs; and while I am
quite milling to admit that all persons
have a perfecrrlght to do so 1 often
think that if the facts were more gen-
erally known and the real situation bet-
ter understood some people at least
would not be so harsh In their sayings
or so unjust In their writings about rail-
roads and those who build and operate
them.
I tblnk lt Is now universally admitted
that the Interests of the farmers and the
Interests of the railroads are mutual and
while It la generally understood that the
railroads need the farmers Just a mucn
as ihc farmers need the railroads it I
certainly to be regretted that tiie rela-
tions existing between the two parties
are not always as friendly as they ought
to be. and lt Is to be deplored that a feel-
ing of distrust on the part of some farm-
era toward the railroads still exist to
a greater or leeser extent in many sec-
tions of the country. The majority of the
farmers do not seem to realise that be-
tween themselves and the railroads a
great business partnership exists and that
th two great combined interests which
comprise this important flrn would be
immensely benefited if the individual
members were better acquainted and buu
more confidence In each other.
1 believe that all reasonable people are
grilling to admit that the railroads have
always been associated with the advance-
ment of civilization the settlement of re-
mote and Isolated regions the colonisa-
tion of new counts and the develop-
ment of resources and that they con-
tribute directly to the comfort and hap-
piness of every man woman and child in
the regions through which they pass.
A thriving community might be com-
pared to the human body the heart of a
town being represented by its commercial
or business mens' club its head by tne
newspapers its character or reputation
by its schools churches and societies.
The limbs which work for and support lt
are the merchants professional men
banks etc. 1'he farmers are the back-
bone of every community and the rail-
roads represent the arteries and veins
which distribute the life Mood of progress
and prosperltv m every direction. Take
away Its railroads and a town 'will die.
because the very source of Its existence
has been removed.
When the railroad construction train
advances into a new country leaving be-
hind a monument of empty tin cans
pickle bottles egg shells beef bones and
bacon rinds at each camping place that
monument means more to the farmer
than to any other class of people. The
coming of a railroad means developmen
of the natural resources the building of
towns the Introduction of modern meth-
ods luxuries and conveniences and pros-
perous times for the' farmer. It means
increased value of his land and a home
market for his products at cash prices.
New railroads bring townsite promoters
real estate agents mechanics merchants
doctors teachers lawyers and preachers
and the farmer has to feed them all;
and remember that when the railroad
carries the farmers' products to the dis-
tant markets. "Jones" and the others
who eat and raise what the farmers raise
pay the freight for the cost of transpor-
tation is borne by the produce and ulti-
mately comes out of the pockets of the
consumer.
In the early history of new towns the
pleasant relations existing between the
farmers and fhe railroad generally con-
tinue until the first election when some
shrewd progressive politician who prob-
ably failed as the manager of some pea-
nut or popcorn proposition and who has
no other interests to serve but his own
disturbs the peace of that community by
running for some office and as you wetl
know is often the case treats the rail-
road verv unfairly by magnifying faults
and defects and misrepresenting facts In
his efforts to obtain votes. It is a
strange fact that the unscrupulous office
seeker who rides Into office by exciting
your prejudice against the railroads will
declare on some other occasion that what
Texas needs Is W.000 more miles of rail-
roads. How few of the many rich men whom
the railroads have enabled to make
money ever stop to think that without
the railroads their life energy might
have been wasted and their best efforts
unremunerated. Some of the railroads are
now struggling with the receivers for
their very existence standing as lt were
with their backs to the wall assailed on
every side by the very ones who perhaps
owe their position wealth and prosper-
ous condition In no small degree directly
or Indirectly to railroad cause or lnflu-
"in'the great areas of Shis State pre-
viously considered almost worthless and
unsuited for farming purposes the ad-
vent of the railroads 4a used an entire
change In agrlculturar conditions and
Immense crops are now raised where none
grew Jwfore. Opportunities and chances
were furnished for many who needed
them to make good livings. Homes for
the thrifty and Industrious homeseeker
were provided and some land owners
were made rich In a day by creating a
demand and value for thousands of acres
of land which for years before had not
been considered worth paying taxes on.
Many miles of new railroads have been
built In Texas in the last few years
and the iron horse naa penetrated the
wilderness in all directions; colonies
have been located towns have sprung
up agricultural resources developed
great irrigation systems inaugurated and
industrial enterprises started in sections
of the State where formerly there were
no signs or sounds of commercial activ-
ity. Now the smoke from the cotton gins
rises and mingles with the clouds which
formerly floated over thousands of un-
cultivated acres where tire bunsard se-
renely soared where the solitary cowboy
rode monarch of all he surveyed and
where the coyotes sneaked in the brush
undisturbed by tbe shrill whistle of the
locomotive.
The average citizen whose expenses of
living have been advancing in the last
few years will not be surprised to be in-
formed that the expenses of the railroad
companies have advanced in the same
proportion. The Increased cost of ma-
terial and supplies of all kinds used by
railroads during the past ten years is a
subject of serious consideration at this
time :o railroad managers. The price
of locomotives cars rails ties bridge
timber pipe spikes nails wire castings
lumber oil. fuel etc. has been continu-
ally advancing and while wages and
taxes have been .repeatedly Increased the
compensation received by the railroads
Is Invariably going downward. The sit-
uation with the farmer Is exactly the re-
verse and while he is getting higher
prices for what be -has to sell he pays
the name price or less than be used to
for his transportation.
It Is a matter of record that many of
the great men In this country who have
succeeded as railroad man iters and
presidents came from the farm In their J
younger natjra uw iiiciuuro m uv usi ui
those who are sow going "back to the
farm" you will notice the names of some
well known railroad officials of National
prominence.
With sn earnest desire to become bet-
ter acquainted with the farmers and to
assist them by furnishing useful and
practical information the 8 nnsert -Central
officials arranged this trip with the
approval and co-operation of tfie officials
er the Stat oepartraent of agrleufture
the Agricultural and Mechanical college
and the rapt as natives la Tex of tha
linlte-l States department of agriculture..
Our relation with the -farmer on this oo-
rttsioa may be com pared te the spirit me-
4lm. the railroad aetrng af a median
between the rarmera the scientific spr-
its of the coUeg and the agricultural ex-
perts and by this means enabling thess
to meet and commune together for mu-
tual benefit and with profit and satisfac-
tion to all concerned. We are (lad to
see the great change that are taking
place In educational ideas. Science in its
relation to farming la nothing but organ-
ised coramonsenae applied to trie meth-
ods employed In operating the farm in
tbe moot efficient nd economical mea-
ner. The great gulf that waa so long
fixed between the fanner and the agri-
cultural college and the university and-
the common school -Is fast disappearing
through the inaagnmtio) of a more prac-
tical education along lines of everyday
life. We rejoice that a better feeling and
understanding m being developed In
Texas between these great powers for
good. We are glad that the day has
com when our State officials admit that
Greek and Latin are not more sacred
than hog raising and corn culture and
that a child's mind can be trained by the
study of agriculture as well as by math-
ematical problems and "''wl exer-
cises. In conclusion t can assure yju that It
Is a great pleasure to the officials of the
railroad which I represent to Join hands
In this manner with the farmers profes-
sors and experts with a view of advanc-
ing the interests of agriculture and stock
raising in this part of Texas. We be-
lieve It will result in mutual benefit to
all concerned. All that our railroad asks
for la a square deal and if - this trip
should result in creating a better feeling
between the farmers and the railroad
Sth Improved relations less hard feel-
is and fewer fake damage suits' in fu-
ture. It may encourage the railroads to
run more ho demonstration can - ana
r.ore agricultural trains In this and other
uarta of Texas. '

FATHER MADE CHARGE.
Had Woold-Bo Bridegroom Arrested
at Qrangc. ;
(Heuttcn Port Special.)
ORANGE Texas December 25. George
Harrington of Stowell was placed in the
Orange county prison this afternoon on
the charge of adbuctlon preferred by-
George Shelp of. tbe same place whose
daughter he is alleged to have decoyed
away from her home. Harrington and
Miss Shelp called at the county clerk's
office last Saturday and made an effort
to secure marriage license which was de-
nied them as the young lady admitted
that she was under age. In the mean-
time. Constable Josh Griffith received
a telephone call from George Shelp the
young lady's father requesting him to
arrest both parties. The girl was appre-
hended and placed in custody of the sher-
iff pending the arrival of her father.
The officers were unable to see the ne-
cessity of arresting the young man and
he remained in town thinking that he
eould reconcile the irate father of the
girl he desired to wed. The father of
the girl refused to consult the matter
with the would-be son-in-law upon his
arrival and at once swore out a warrant
for his arrest charging him with abduc-
tion. He declares that his daughter Is
under 14 years of age. The young man
did not attempt to evade arrest when -he
learned that a warrant had been sworn
out for him Harrington will be given
an examining trial tomorrow before
Justice of the Peace J. P. Tatum.

a Holiday.
(Houston Post Special.)
TEMPLE Texas. December 25. The
holiday season founffwldespread observ-
ance in Temple this year and merchants
report the most successful business In'
recent years. The weather during the
past week with the exception of one
day was ideal for shoppers who thronged
from every source city country and
nearby towns to take advantage of same.
The streets were thronged with a bustling
crowd until after midnight Saturday
making purchases and engaged in making
merry.
At the various churches today special
services were conducted and large con-
gregations were the rule.
Monday business will be practically
Blisrtended. A everv htiin0a hnnu on4
office will be closed. Other public instl-
cuuons wiu oDserve a nice policy. At the
postofflce Monday holiday hours of longer
duration than customary will be In vogue
the city letter carriers making one full
delivery trip. An extra force of carriers
and clerks successfully handled all the
business on time and Christmas pack-
ages were delivered with the greatest ex-
pedition. To accommodate tbe public the
office was kept open In many depart-
ments until a late hour Saturday night
The attempt to suppress the discharge
of fireworks was a failure as the trans-
gression was so general that the police
did not know where to start In first and
the city bastlle would not have been large
enough to accommodate a hundredth part
of the offenders.
