DEATH'S HAND ON
FEDERAL OFFICE
North Dakota Senators Seek Man
for Place Where Two Have
Been Stricken.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, Fe b. 17.The remains
of John H. Anderson of Grand Forks,
N. D., late deputy auditor for the post
office department, who died suddenly
in Pittsburg. It is thought in business
to his late home for interment in about
three weeks.
The North Dakota senators claim the
place made vacant by his death, as part
of the state patronage, and they are
now looking about for a man who will
be willing to take the place in the face
of the rate which has overtaken the
only two men who have occupied it.
The office was created Beveral years
ago and General Harrison Allen, for
merly of North Dakota, was the first
appointee. held the place about two
years, and a little more than two years
ago was found dead in his bed one
morning, death being due to heart dis
ease. Anderson diea from the same
trouble last week.
The North Dakota senators believe
they will be able to find someone who
will not regard the sudden demise of
the two men named as an obstacle to
taking the office.
LAFAYETTE STATUE
STRANGELY DELAYED
Washington, Feb, 17.The attention
of Secretary Root has been called to
the delay in completing the bronze
statue of General Lafayette in Paris,
for which a large sum of money was
raised in this country, to take the place
of the plaBter cast placed on the ped
estal during the Paris exposition of
1900. It is understood that Secretary
Boot has started an investigation''. The
Daughters of the American Revolution
are interesting themselves in the mat
ter.
It was announced today that M. A.
Winter, commanding tne Minute
Men," has written to Secretary Root
that while in Paris last summer he was
informed that both French and Ameri
cans there were under the impression
that the plaster model would be re
placed by the bronze statue within, a
very few weekB, and that when he
called the attention of the state de
partment to the matter records were
produced which, he says, "seemingly
proved" that the bronze statue had
been placed and formally accepted by
the French government.
adds that he then communicated
wi th a man of "most excellent Stand
ing in Paris." and the reply, dated Jan.
6 last, said that the statue now in place
is the same plaster cast used at the
dedication exercises on July 4, 1900.

cided to sail during the coming sum
mer.

CLIMATE AND SOIL
ABE OF THE BEST
Almost Every Orop That Is
Known Will Flourish in the
Bain and Sunshine of Country
Surrounding City of the Alamo.
BY HERBERT VANDERHOOF.
While Texas is at present attracting all
classes of immigrants from all parts of.
the country and from all parts of the
world, the people who are attracted
largest numbers to that state, and more
especially to the Southwestern portion of
it, are, strange to say, the people who
are to all appearances most comfortable
in their present locationsthe farmers Of
the middle Westmen of means, men of
intelligence, men of family.
To say that these people are discon
tented with their present lot, or that
they are abandoning their old homes
cheerfully, would be to state an untruth.
They are not going to Texas because
they are resfless, because they are ad
venturous, or because they are filled with
a desire for new and novel environment*
but simply for the identical reason which
impelled their grandfathers and fathers
to plunge into the wilderness beyond
the Alleghenies, the Ohio, the Mississippi
and the Missouri. They are looking to
the future of their sons and daughters.
A small farm in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri or any of the
older states of the Mississippi valley will
sell today for enough to purchase a large
farm in the rich Texas districts which
are tributary to the city of San Antonio,
and leave a handsome surplus with which
to meet such necessities as may arise
until the new farm begins to produce a
revenue. In a few years the middle
Western farmer who has hot land enough
to divide among his children, Who sees
no prospect ahead save that his boys
and girls must be scattered, is able in this
part of Texas to. give each of them a
better start in life than he had, while
reserving for himself and wife enough
to maintain them Independently and com
fortably In their old age.
No Prairie Schooners There.
He goes to southwestern Texas, too.
Without any of the insecurity as to the
future: that weighed upon his ancestors
when they began, life in the West. Texas
is not a wilderness. Settlement there S
not an experiment. None of the condi
tions that existed a half century ao
beyond the Missouri will confront him
there. There are neither Indians nor
border ruffians to be dealt with. He
does not ride to his new home in a
prairie schooner.
The least populous of Texas counties
today are as orderly as the most popu
lous counties of his own state. No mat
ter how small the number of settlers,
the schoolhouse }s to be found In their
midst. He will meet there people of his
own class, educated, industrious, enter
prising people, impregnated with and im
pelled by the true American spirit.
And he Will not be hampered by the
rigors of climate that even In the most
genial of the middle Western states have
got to be taMBh-Mfttb serious account.
He is not goii^tat land there
are "nine
monW' oar^-winterwhere and three
months late in the fall." He will not
have to work his hands off for one
quarter of the year in order that- he may
exist through the other three.-.
In southwestern Texas he will b* able
to look forward on every New Year's
day to twelve months of "open weather
twelve months in which he may plow
and plant and reap. He may take his
choice as fegards crops. Practically
everything that grows anywhere grows In
southwestern Texas, and grow* luxuri
antly. This is no careless- statement.
On the San Antonio plateau every plant
that flourishes in any part of the earth.
With the exception of the few that^are
peculiar to the tropics and to the ex
treme altitudes, responds to the soil^and
sunshine of the country lying round about
the city of the Alamo.
What W^ J. Clay Sayi.
TVe have it upon the unquestioned and
unquestionable authority of W. J. Clay,
one of the ablest agricultural experts and
statisticians in the country, that:
"Bo harmonious are the conditions (in
Texas) that as many as five of the
world's prime products may be raised to
a complete fruition in the same field.
Long summers of growing weath
er, mild winters and a genial slty permit
the practice of husbandry for nearly
twelve months of the year."
"This fact," he adds, "may be Sur
prising to the farmers from the Northern
corn and wheat belts, who are accustomed
to the rigors and the inconveniences of
at least six months of exceedingly Cold
weather, when cattle must be housed and
fed and the plow remains idleexpense
going on and the ground producing noth
ing but frost."
"There Is considerable country in Tex-
as," he says, "classed as the *dry_ coun-
try.' While this is true, there are tens
of thousands of people in. the United
States who are looking for a dry country,
and would extend their lives many years
by moving to that portion of Texas
It would be well to not the fact,
in passing, that we have an area in Texas
larger than any two states of the Union
(outside of Texas) within the rain belt
which can be depended upon to yield
crops equal to those of any state in the
Union, with a greater variety of crops
than are grown in any other state."
which bears out my statement in a pre
ceding article that it Is absurd to judge
the great commonwealth of Texas by the
conditions existing in a small portion of it.
Greatest Artesian Well Belt.
The most desirable lands of Texas are
those in the district in which all that
is best in climatic and soil conditions
are combined. And nowhere in the state
are these conditions more perfect than
in the country surrounding San Antonio.
It seems to have been designed by Provi
dence to meet not only all the needs
but all the ideals of the agriculturist.
"Whatever of moisture may be lacking
above is provided in abundance below.
The lands for scores of miles in every
direction around San Antonio when
tapped produce water in abundance. Most
of them are in the greatest artesian
well belt known to mankind.
Gushing streams, sufficient to irrigate
a plantation all the year round, were it
necessary, may be secured on these lands
for the boring. Where' the expense of
driving for a natural artesian flow is a
hindrance, the farmer can secure at small
cost an ample supply of water by the use
of an ordinary windmill. In ho part ot
the country is the farmer less dependent
upon the fickleness of the seasons.
If the cereals are down in price, if
New Orleans or New York is "bearing"
cotton, or if, for any reason, the demands
of the big cities for early fruit, berries
and vegetables has fallen off, he need not
sacrifice his year's work in order..to meet
his current expenses.
In southwestern Texas the limitations
of farming in the Northwest are un
known. The entire range of agriculture
lies before the husbandman. When the
prime crops are In, or before they are
ilne,
and in fact while they are in,
may be carrying on, as extensively
as the size of his plantation will allow,
the cultivation of every kind of fruit and
vegetables, alfalfa, berries and water
melons, nuts of all varieties, and raising
live stockand everything he produces
finds a ready and profitable marketbe
cause the co-operation of the railroads,
which in Texas, more than in any
other state perhaps, take a constant arid
deep Interest in the welfare of the settler.
