Foul Brood law.
Texas I.aw Published By Request
of Bee-Keepers Association.
section I. He it enacted by the
legislature of the State of Texas, If
any owner of or any person having
control or possession of any honey
bees in this State, knows that any
bees so owned or controlled are affect-
ed with foul brood or any other con-
tagious disease it shall lie and is
hereby made his duty to at once re-
port said fact to the State entymolo-
gist, setting out in his said report all
the facts known with reference to said
infection. The State entymologist
shall have full power in his discre-
tion to order any owner or possessor
of bees dwelling in hives without
movable frames, or not permitting of
ready examination, to transfer such
bees to a movable frame hive within
a specitied time. In default of such
transfer the State entymologist may
destroy, or order destroyed, such
hives, together with the honey, combs,
frames, and bees contained therein,
without recompense to the owner, less-
ee, or agent thereof.
sko. - The S t a t e entymologist
shall prescribe such rules ami regula-
tions as may in his judgement seem
necessary for the eradication of all
contagious diseases of bees, and if at
any time the entymologist linds, or has
reason to believe, that the owner of
any apiary, has refused or Is refus-
ing to comply with all or any such
rules and regulations, then and in
that event the State entymologist is
hereby authorized to inspect said hoes,
and, if neecessary, burn diseased col
onies, appliances, and honey, and do
any and all things necessary in the
premises to eradicate foul brood or
any other infectious disease of bees.
SEC. 3. When any owner or pos-
sessor of bees shall fail to carry out
the instructions of the State entymolo-
gist as set forth in sections 1 and 2 of
this act, tile State entymologist or
his assistant shall carry out such
destruction or treatment, and shall
present to the owner of said bees a
hill for actual cost of such destruc-
tion or treatment, in the failure of
the owner or possessor of such bees
to pay said bill within thirty days
after mailing same to Ins usual post-
office address, the State entymologist
shall certify to the county attorney of
the county wherein such bee* are lo-
cated the amount and items of such
hill, and the county attorney shall
file suit for the recovery of said ac-
count. All moneys recovered by the
county attorney for such destruction
or treatment shall he paid into the
iiands of the county treasurer, to be-
come a part of the fund for carrying
out the provisions of this act.
sec. 4 If any owner or keeper of
any diseased colonies of bees shall
barter or give away any infected bees
honey, or appliances, or shall expose
any other bees to the danger of in-
fection of the disease, or shall refuse
or neglect to make report as provided
in section 1 of this act, he shall lie
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be lined
in any sum not exceeding two hund-
red dollars.
SEC. 5. The fact that the season
when young colonies of hoes will leave
the mothers colonies is near at hand,
and that there is no existing law pro-
perly governing colonies affected with
foul brood creates an emergency, and
an imperative public necessity requir-
ing the suspension of the constitution-
al rule requiring hills to lie read on
three several days, and the same is so
suspended, and this act shall take
rffecj and he in force from and after
its passage: and it is so enacted.

Water Pow*.r of Texas.
[ Water-power development in Texas
is still in a rather cruje condition at
many places, hut on a number of
streams plants have been built em-
bodying scientific principles, usingmo-
j dern machinery, and obtaining a high
j degree of efficiency. Mostof the f res-
ent plants are on the Guadalupe, the
! Brazos, the Colorado, and the tribu-
' taries of these rivers. The Guada-
lupe is by far the best power stream
> of the State, although its drainage
area above < 'tiero is hut 5,100 square
I miles. Several first-class power
I plants :tr< located on the Guailaliqic
at Ncguin and Cucro, dams having
i withstood the floods of the river for
several years. Power for small plants
. has l<een successfully developed by
1 dams at a number of places along the
I Colorado, hut the most noteworthy
attempt to use that stream came to an
end with tlie destruction of the Aus-
I tin dam in April, 1000. This great
! structure was of special interest from
j an engineering point of view, for it
stood as the largest dam in the world
ever built across a (lowing stream.
The Neelies ami Sabine river basins
I support more powers than the rivers
farther west, hut the mills are gener-
ally small.
I The rivers, the dam, and the power
! plants described in some detail in a

lished by tlie United States Geolog-

OUR AUSTIN LETTER.
Interesting Notes on Political
Affairs from the State Capitol.
Austin, Jan. ti, 11(07
From Our Special Correspondent.
We are on the eve of the most mo-
mentous meeting of the State’s law-
making body since the dark days of
reconstruction when State's Rights
once more assumed her throne and
the form and fashion of local self-
government was to he again dictated
by the people of the State.
Many of tlie law makers are here
and for the encouragement of Un-
people it may be said, that as a whole
the law making body is tlie ablest
that lias ever assembled on Capitol
Hill. The man who for lack of brains,
depends on cant and rancour, that
cursed pair of dromedaries, is woe-
fully in the minority and the corpora-
tion s.vneophant, who usually slips
into the legislature, is, if present,
meekly aw aiting a time when he may
appear with more favor, if we are
not mistaken in the signs of the times,
the Thirtieth legislature will go down
into history as an eminently just,
and fearless and right-doing body.
The howl of tlie maker of political
eapitiul for home consumption will
he less mucus and the budding poli-
tician will find that, in the presence
of brains and ability, it will be more
difficult to palm oil o pouter pigeon's
breot for real gray matter.
stale officers from two to four years.
Inasmuch as it has become an un-1
written law that each officer is entitl-
ed to two years each, this bill will,
not only save a large expense to the
state tor one general election, but
will take from candidates an enor-
mous burden of election expenses and
tend to nurity of official conduct, and
give better public service untasnUd
by political consideration.
SENATOR HAWKNS’ RESIGNATION,
As is known. Senator A. S. Hawkins
of Abilene has resigned his seat for
the purpose of testing the sentiment
of the people of his district on the
Hailey controvery. ll is a matter of
considerable importance just now to
know whether, if the election for a
senator is held on January 22, Sena-
tor Hawkins can vote, or if his sea
will remain vacant from the time his
resignation was received by the Gov-
ernor until his successor is elected.
I questioned Office Assistant Attor-
ney- General Hawkins about this, but
he'declined to give an opinion, stating
that no opinions could be given from
the attorney general’s department
unless requested from official sources.
The resignation of Senator Hawkins
set no date to he effective, and tl e
concensus of opinion is that the twen-
tyeighth senatorial district will be
unrepresented until Hawkins’ success-
or qualities.
THE POSITION OF ADJUTANT GENERAL
Since the declination of the appoint-
ment lio ( apt. li. W. Ilearne of San
Antonio, no one has been announced
to fill the office now held by General
Jno. A. llulen. There were live can-
didates for the position when Capt.
Ilearne was elected, hut it is stated
with seeming authority that none of
former applicants will he appointed.
Among-the men who have given then-
time, services and money to the
maintenance of the Texas Militia, the
present adjutant general is gi-eatly
favored for reapf ointment.
In fact, in all circles where knowl-
edge of militia affairs circnlates,
General Hulen is enthusiastically
and warmly commended. There can
be no question that if the new heard
of the militia can be known by its
fruits of the past, General Hulen will
be appointed to succeed himself.
During the past three years while
he has been in office, the militia of
Texas has risen from a position of
leas efficiency to the peerage of any
of the states and is now receiving
from the national government $70,000
annually for maintenance as well as
being supplied with a million dollars
worth of arms and equipment.
General Hulen is an able officer,
having been connected with tlie Texas
militia for fifteen years, and for five
yeaa a voluteer officer in the United
States army and is enthusiastically
and earnestly engaged in the work
of placing the militia on substantial
and permanent footing. Much needs
yet be done in the plan mapped out to
hejearried gradually forward, which
could be better done by the man who
originated the work than any other.

If so, you know the sensation is not
an agreeable one, and hard to cure

name or place. One application re-
lieves—one box is absolutely guaran-
anteed to cure.
