Beaumont on the Fourth of July. It
was the original intention to.form a
trl-club league between Orange, Beau-
mont and Lake Charles and have a
team from each of the three clubs to
•boot for the cup, but the Lake
Charles club (If they have a club) did
not have courtesy-enough to even an-
swer the letters which the president
of the Orange Gun club wrote to them
in reference to the shoot.
There will be a team of five men
from each clubhand the team making
the highest average In the six shoots

! Houston on a special train.
After the editors have thoroughly
. learned ail-about how the stuff they
1 have been giving away for years with
, the hope of saving the country, is
I manufactured, they will turn them-
¡ selves over to the tender care of the
i fair committee and such other ladies
, and gentlemen of the city who wish
' to extend them a welcome, and be
| conducted to the Holland, where the
I parlor will be elaborately decorated
and a generous supply of cold punch
will be ready to quench their thirst.
As soon as the "exchange of courte-
1 síes between the visitors and citizens
Is over, the editors will be conducted
to the spacious dining room of the

their way rejoicing. The editors have
three hours to pay their respects to
the people of Orange, and all should
see that those three hours are made
as pleasant as possible, for when jthe
newspaper men and women return to
their homes and take up the daily and
weekly grind, they will have many
good things to say about Orange and
her. hospitable citizens.

Rock Island Contracts
Turned Upside Down
Austin, Texas, May 16.—The Rock
Island-CeotnN trackage agreement
(pet with advene treatment at the
hands of a majority of the Railroad
Commission, which refuses to approve
■ame or any part thereof. Commis-
sioners Mayfleld and Colquitt signed
an opinion refusing the Commiislou's
approval, asd giving the reasons for
auch actio! . The only expression
from Chairman Storey Is that he dia-
pente, not having filed his views on the
subject.
On May 14 *l|£ra p7t tor the two
roada submitted articles of agreement
tor Joint ownership and certain track-
age agreements. The Rock Island gave
notice that It bad acquired one-half
of the capital stoek of the Houston *
Tasas Central and desired to operate
Jointly with that road, also on the Dal-
las é Sabine line of the Texas * New
Orleans, and to have the privilege of
banting empties ovar the latter* road
JTrom Houston to Beaumont, and that
the Houston * Texas Central was to
enjoy trackage rights from Houston
to Galveston on the Galveston, Houa-
ton A Northern, all of which is re-
fused.
N. H. Laaelter, attorney for the
Rock Island properties In Texaa, was
here today, ut had nothing to say
anear the. Commission's action, espe-
cially as to what the future Intentions
of (he Rock Island might be In regard
to the matter.
Austin. Texaa, May 25.—later to-
night Mr. Lasslter, of the Rock Island,
statee that he has advised the parent
company what action to take In Texas
but refuses to ¿take .public the nature
or his advice. From what can be
learned on the outside, the Commis-
sion dld not consult the Attorney Gen-
eral in the matter. It Is rumored that
some of the lawyers disagree ti to
whether the Commission has any pow-
er In such matters or can exercise
control over one road acquiring the
stock of another. They might refuse
to sanction the contracts on the
ground of public policy, yet there
would be nq legad objection. I\ir
this reason the Rock Island may fol-
low Its original plan.

"Notwithstanding the fact that the
trackage agreements' virtually consti-
tute a defense to the Rock Island man-
agement, both parties to the deal were
anxious to have them included. You
can readily see, however, that some
other safeguard to the Rock Island
management can be readily substitut-
ed if it becosues necessary to omit the
trackage agreements.
"It Is for this reason and the mutual
desire on the part of the railroads to
have In force some arrangement sim-
ilar to the one originally adopted that
leads me to the belief that there is
practically no danger of the failure to
carry through the deal on the lines
similar to,those originally outlined.
"Texas has an ambition to increase
Its railroad mileage. Its faith is pin-
ned to the railroads as developers of
the State, and Texas cannot see the
disastrous results that occur to' the
Construction of parallel lines
and extensions of railroads over a
country that is already bountifully

policy, but it iá the faith of Texts,
nevertheless, and it is probably this
which has chiefly influenced the com-
mission in taking its present action."
