In explaining the constitutional amend ment to be voted upon at the approaching election, involving drainage matters, County AttorlHy Wheeler said yesterday: "Tho Governor's proclamation states, among other things, that the people of Texas are called upon to vote for or against amendment to section 52 of article 3 of the Constitution. "Owing to' the fact that the Democratic ticket will meet with but little opposition, the vote polled in Texas at the Nov.

8 election may be very light, and owing to the further fact that the average voter may not understand the words 'lor or against section 5U, of article, they may either not voto upon the proposition, or, be safe, may vote against the amendment. "The amendment Is of importance tp the people of the coast country, to the people of Western Texas and to those living along the banks of some of the risers of Texas. This directly concerns these people for the reason that it permits a county by a two- thirds vote to issue bonds for the construction and maintenance of pools, lakes, reservoirs, dams or canals for the purpose of irrigation, drainage or navigation, or in aid thereof. Thfi present drainage law permits of a special tax be levied on the land to be drained. For that reason it is subject to much improvement and so far as known has never been invoked.

"This amendment to the Constitution, if carried, will permit a genernl tax upon nil of the Innd in the county desiring to use such Irrigation or drainage ponds. lifts the burden of drainage off or the shoulders of tho few and places it upon tho shoulders of tho general public. "The citizens of Loagruc City have organized a drainage club for the purpose of se- rin-ing a full vot.e In thin county for tho amendment nnd an effort will lie made, circulars nml Isitrrs (UrortPd to tho County Judges of other coast counties to call tlie a i of the voters in their re- npertlve onuntles to tho importance of tho amendment. lion.

A A1.MANAO ICvcry Toxnn r.J-.o 'lac 1'laco your order To the Small Snliacrlbera AVfco Hnve Not Yet Taken Ont Their Honda, Said a county official yesterday: "As li well known, the original seawall bond issue aggregated $1,500,000. Of this amount then now remains but approximately $39,000 In the treasury. This does not mean that $1,481,000 have- been Bold, however. As stated, the original issue was Jl.500,000. Of this the County Commissioners' 'Court have retired J130.000 by purchasing this amount for the sinking fund and thereby reducing 'the Interest that the county would otherwise pay on this amount If put into circulation, This left $1.370,000.

and this $1,370,000 has been sold with the exception of about $39,000, which remains oK" hand. Of this approximate $39,000, $4,000 has been reserved for those who have made partial payments and who may yet desire bonds. When all of the bonds on hand have been aold the partial payments will bo returned to the small subscribers who have not yet' taken out their bonds. "Fully 90 per cent of the seawall bond Issue was subscribed and paid for by Gal- vestonlans. Tne indications are that every dollar of the seawall subscription of $35,000 above mentioned will be disposed of within the next few days.

"The call made on the small subscribers from the County Attorney's office en Oct. I'd resulted in the payment of approximately $25.000 from citizens In all walks of life and was a magnificent response. "It is barely possible that a few more seawall suits may be filed but those In charge of the collection of the subscriptions do not think that this will be necessary. "Twelve per cent of the $1.370,000 was taken within the last ten days. Every dollar of the county's portion of the grade raising funds Is now practically In hand.

"There is yet outstanding a $10,000 subscription from a foreign corporation. The wires were kept busy today in an effort to bring about a final settlement of this subscription. "The seawall bond subscription Is oversubscribed approximately $100,000. A large amount of this Is due from parties against whom it will be useless to file suits. "There are a few subscribers who have bought bonds on the streets from brokers and who are laboring under the impression that purchasing the bonds In this way is a compliance with the law and will relieve them of taking the full amount for which they subscribed.

That Is, in some cases where a party has subscribed for a certain amount of bonds he has obtained a portion or perhaps all, In a brokerage transaction But this will not relieve him from tkking the full amo'int oj bonds for which McKBengcr Doy Kxamluation.

Overturn NEWS OF THE CUTS TRANSCRIPT or BIXGRAM BUM. VI fOK'f ARTHUR CHANflBb DOCK COMPANY HniTiniEUTEIIfflE Contains Only 81 Con ply With Cfntera Ordi- DUmliied, Usually when a large brief Is flled 1: any of the higher courts the record i correspondingly bulky, but an inn Unco prove the rule Is not universal is on li tho Court of Civil Appeals here, Tho transcript of the rocord in the caa of Blgham Bros. ve. Port Arthur Channe Dock Company is decidedly modest Ir size, It containing only thirty-one typewrit ten pages. While the briei's of both partie may not be out of proportion to the merit of the case they certainly are much large than the eize of tho record would seem ti warrant.

Appellant's brief contains no les than 1G5 printed pages and that of appelle numbers 197. The case Is an. appeal from the Dietrlc Court of Jefferson County. In the lowe court demurrers and special were sustained to plaintiff's petition. As shown by the petition of plaintiff, Blgham aa copied In the transcript, the eul was for the recovery of $20,000 damages foi the destruction of a rice crop and also to compel the defendant canal company to either construct locks In its canal or aban don the use of It.

It Is alleged that by the construction and operation of tho cana by tire company, salt water has been caus ed to How into Taylor's Bayou, on which plaintiff's rice lands abut, thereby making the water of the bayou unfit to be used In rice Irrigation. Among the demurrers of the company which were sustained In the court below Is one averring that the cana company Is the work of developing navigable waters and In such work Is the agen of the United States Government; therefore not liable for any damage that might be occasioned plaintiff in the respect complained of. The questions presented arc, Is understood, of much importance, but the most noticeable thing to the layman Is the vast difference In the size of the transcript and of the briefs. The condition of the docket of the Court of Civil Appeals makes It Impossible to estimate with any certainty the date when the case will be nubmitted. RecorAer'H Conrt.

October Rave evidence of passing out as an 'unusually dry month until yesterday, when a series of showers ran the precipitation record up a tef! notubes. The aver- ago rainfall for the month is nearly four and one-half inches, or, to be accurate, 4.30 inches. Up to yesterday the rain gods had failed to mak? good the record, and only of an inch of heavenly dew had been emptied on the Island since September. The rain yesterday, while seemingly a downpour at times, was not so great in quantity, 1 as less than an inch of tfon was registered. But tt laid the dust and prepared the way for the cold wave which the weather hmp yesterday showed to be headed this way, with a drop of several degrees in temperature before this morning.

The northwest wind signals were displayed from the signal tower of the Weather Bureau yesterday. Indicating a cold wave and clearer weather today. The rain was pretty generally scattered over the State, with the heaviest falls in the interior, where it Is expected it will do the crops some good. The heaviest rainfall was reported from "WeatherfordV where 4.25 Inches of rain was reported up yesterday morning, and still raining. The next highest record was Kejrvllle, usually a very dry place, so far as precipitation Is concerned, and four Inches of water was sprinkled around this section.

Other points reported rain as follows: Beeville 1.21, Blanco 2.55, Corsicana 1.93, Cuero 2.15, Fort Worth 3.68, Hearne 2.20, Lampasas 3.90, Mexia 1.70, Ban Antonio 1.40, San Marcos L71, Taylor 2.13, Waco 2.27, Temple 2.02, Waxahachle 1.97. The "high" or cold wave central yesterday morning over Kansas and Nebraska was moving rapidly southward and lowering temperatures as It went. Temperatures over the eastern Rocky Mountain slope fell from 8 to 24 degrees within twenty-four hours, and Dodge City, Deported killing frost. The heavy rains in the Erazos River valley caused Observer Alexander to watch that section of the country closely. Reports during the day from river stations were not alarming, and It Is possible the dry condition of the ground will contribute rreatly to reducing the flow into the rivers.

It la not anticipated that yesterday's rains wilt cause a dangerous rlsa in the treacherous Brazos. Grade Raising Procrrein.

III THE PANHANDLE A ASD OWNER OF THAT SECTION THB RICHES OF ffllAT SECTION. IITWOF THE CUTTIEMEJI Thfy DUoonraice on Account at Wanting; the Land (or Stock Italtlnc.

"The Panhandle country of Texas la a section of the State with many resources and great possibilities," said Mr. A. F. Purcell yesterday. Mr.

Purcall is a and and resident ot the Panhandle, and after spending many years there has corao to the conclusion that the Panhandle country is good enough for him. He did not corns to Gaiveston to exploit the resources of tha Panhandle, but came here on a matter of business and for a short visit with his broiher, Mr. J. C. Purcell, but his enthusiasm (or his own part of the State crops out occasionally, and in discussing commonplace topics with a News reporter he referred to his section of the country, and after a little questioning launched out on an Interesting narrative of what they have got in the Panhandle and what they expect to have in years to come.

"We have a rich soil, plenty of water and lots of short and longhorncd cattle, more of the former than of the latter," said he, "lor the longhorn cattle of the fanhandle are becoming back numbers and soon we will be telling our grandchildren about the strange, raw-boned critters with Immense horns that roamed over the uoundless prairies, and they will see the evidence of these monstrosities in the shape of those wide-spreading horns, mounted and polished, hanging over our doors, while in the fields and grazing grounds will be the blooded shorthorns, Herefords and other breeds of cattle which are now rapidly coming into favor. "For a long time the cattlemen have kept mum on the nature of our soil, the climate and abundance of water for fear that settlers would investigate, settle and cut up their Immense grazing grounds. At i resent tlme they are flghtlne the building of new railroads and the selling of railroad and State and have managed to tie up large quantities of land by long leases or by Htigatlcn, but this will soon be settled, and then we expect a flow of new Land in the Panhandle can now be purchased at from $1.50 to $1 75 per acre, and good land at that, but as our rainfall is uncertain, a farmer must need a larger farm than those in the Northwest, unless he takes un irrigation. It would be an easy matter to Irrigate, for water can be found in great quantities very near the surface, and, besides, we hav plenty of fine streams. Our soil is also of such a nature that one good soaking will insure a crop.

With irrigation, or a fair amount of rainfall, we can raise the finest kind of peaches, apples and other fruits, besides vegetables of the finest kind and all kinds of grain. This year we will deliver to market several thousands of bales of cotton, and I have no doubt that, the Panhandle country could be made one of the best producing cotton countries In the State. "While we appear to be set off to one side of civilization, we really don't feel that way. Why. my, daughter often jumps on her pony and rides over to one of the neighbors, and they visit us.

How far is it to the neighbor's? Well, the one my daughter visits frequently is only a matter of sixteen miles, and wo do not think much o' that distance. Nearly everybody--in fact, every house--has Its telephone, and the women do a great deal of visiting that way We use the wire on the fences whore there is a fence, and have poles in places where" fences do not exist. Some of the farmers have splendid buildings, and by various means pipe water' through them. All have fruit trees and shade trees, and are very comfortably situated. Those of us r.car railroad have an easy time in making our shipments and in receiving goods, and then others do not seem to mind the haul by teams, for one trip to town is often sufficient to take in many weeks' supplies.

In fact, while we are not near la-rge cities, the people of the Panhandle are making money, and I believe that any young man could invest a few hundred dollars in lands in that section with profit. The country is coming to the front and values will increase rapidly during the next few years." Rain or shine clothes weather man says he's not certain which will be proper.
