than last year. The production
of oil last year in Texas was
about 70,000,000 gallons, while

is stated, will not offset the dif-

the statements of some of them,

farmers will receive much more
money on their short crop this
year than they received last year
on their heavy crop. Last year
the farmers received more thaq
$24,000,000 for their seed, while
this year, if present conditions
maintain throughout Jthe season,
should the crop in reality fce
3,500,000 bales, they will receive
something over $33,250,000 for
their seed.

IT THE
Mineral Wells HealU* Resort:
In a rousing speech before the
Commercial Club last night, dur-
ing which he was frequently in-
terrupted by enthusiastic ap-
plause, Dr. Murphy, late of
Itasca, but now of Mineral Wells,
declared his intention of putting
a zoological garden at the Fair
Grounds. Not only that but he
said that he would formally call
upon Major Beardsley thia morn-
ing and ask the Mineral Wells
Electric System to put in a track
to the Fair Grounds. And in
the event that that company de-
clines or hesitates ti put in the
track, then he vehemently as-
serted that he and his Texas
friends had backbone enough
and money enough and faith
enough in the city of Mineral
Wells and the Fair Grounds and
zoo proposition to put in one
themselves. Not only that but
he said this must be done and in
working order by the first of the
year. Hats off to U.\ Murphy,
