Mr. J. W. Dean:
I Should have written sooner but we
'just got settled a few days ago. We are
all Well now but were all sick for about
a week after wo arrived, by thechfinsre
Of climate and change of drlnklnc
water, bull believe It will agree wilh
ui M we are all feeling good now. We
had a very nlco trip, we passed through
a little of West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Okla
homa. We traveled about 2000 mtles.
We came through some very nice
farming country althougn we have not
seen muoh of Texas yet. We do not Be
much but a wide expanse of prairie and
ousandsof head of cattle and some
w-boys. We decided to settle at
Orange Hill instead of Eagle Lake
where we first intended, as the land
seems good here. Eagle Lake and
Sealy are the nearest towns. Tbey aro
each 0 miles from here they have a
town site laid out here but we are
among the very first settlers; we are
pioneering now There is very little
Improved land near us. inere is a
railroad going right past the land we
bought. We are living in one of the
company's houses for a few weeks until
we can build. There are a good many
people coming to settle on their land
this fail. There are over a thousand
acres sold In small farms here now.
We have a store and postottlce. Rake
straws who moved here from Falls
Creek, are about one balf mile from our
place. We burn wood, hauling it from
the woods along the San Barnardo
River. We live near the San Bamardo
river and it is right along the Cane
Belt railroad. Mr. Barrett, of Reyn
oldsville, and Mr. Eaves and Mr. Fye,
from DuBois. arrived here last Friday
morning, June 17th. They all have
land close to ours. We have about
four acres out In corn and sweet
potatoes and a few peanuts, Jerry is
plowing for a fall crop of cabbage.
..The cost of living here is about the
same as Id DuBois and the expense of
getting started in farming is not much
I cheaDer. if anv. than in Pennsylvania.
l It is very hot here, the thermometer
r Viai vaunhaA H httrh as 1 Oft Viti t wa An
not mind the heat much for there is
.... nearly always a good breeze and the
nights are grand. We have a good
well drilled 40 feet; that Is as deep as
we had to go for plenty of water.
There is no coal here only what U
shipped I do not know anyone who
uses It here but In the towns Borne
burn oil but we can see carloads of coal
passing once in a while. There is
j)li nty of timber land near hero and
nlong the San Bernardo and Brazos
rivers. The people d jrK pretend to
do much here durins; Vi AuiMKt
as It is the dry nean, .!. work the
rest of the year and so t i lake It easy
now. Spring and fall H when they
have the best crops, but they say this
Is a very good year in Texas. They
begin in September and plant for the
fall crop and in January for the spriog
crops. We built a house 24 by 28 with
four rooms; will send you a picture of
place soon. '
We receive the "Star" every week.
We read it till we have it all in pieces.
Thanking you lor the paper I remain,
your friend, Mrs. J. G Buchanan,

The twenty-second annual season
of the Pittsburg Exposition opnned
Wednesday night under circumstances
that were gratifying not only to ths
management but the thousands In at
tendance. Everything seemed to be
In a state of preparedness for the
event passed off without a slni;le
hitch. The buildings and booths have
been redecorated and there Is a fresh
ness and newness about everything.
The number of exhibits this season la
much larger than that of last and the
show on the whole reflects no UUte
credit on the enterprise of progressive
Pittsburg.
Victor' Herbert and his orchestra Is
the opening musical attraction and at
the two concerts given on the open
ing night Music Hall was filled to its
capacity by delighted audiences. Mr.
Herbert, the author of a score of
comic opera hits,' received an en
thusiastic welcome and he presented
a program that pleased everybody. He
not only Introduced excerpts from his
best known works and selections from
the old masters, but he presented
here for the first time some of his
latest compositions. It was a program
of charming melody and encores were
in order throughout the evening.
Among the new features this season
is a pustolhVe exhibit furnished by tho
United States government at Wash
ington. It gives much lnforniat'on
pertaining to Uncle Sam's maili'.i;;
system. With the exhibit is an om
stage coach used for carrying mall in
Montana many years ago. lmig be
fore the present advanced system was
thought of.
Two rail-'oads are represented this
year, the Great Northern, whl'h
makes Its first oppea'-.-r'e here, n';!
the Norfolk and Western. The former
shows whnt Irrigation has done for
crops In the northwest and the latter
Illustrates what scientific farm'ng I'
doing for Virginia. The commercial
growth of the country through which
each line passes Is an Interesting
feature and the fruit exhibit of each
line Is well worth seeing.
There are two educational exhibits
that attracted a great deal of atten
tion on the opening night. The public
schools of Pittsburg have a very lnnrn
and attractive display of painting,
drawing, fancy and needle work,
manual training and, In fact, every
thing connected with the local educa
tional system. All the schools of the
city have contributed and the exhibit
Is a thorough nnd comprehensive one.
The Allegheny Playgrounds Assocla
t'on has an exhibit of what was done
by- the summer vacation schools on
the NrthsVo. The benefit derived by
the children who took advantage of
the playground schools Is shown In
their admirable work and reflects no
little credit on the association.
Mechanical Hall has a great deal to
offer this season and the exhibits are
In the ma'n new. Labor saving de
vices of every description are to be
seen and the electrical display is finer
than ever. The leading stores have
beautifully artistic exnibits and the
Italian pergola In the foyer Is mag
nificent and looks as if tho cene had
been taken bodily from Italy and
transplanted In the Exposition. There
Is something new and Instructive to
be seen at every hard.
The wireless telegraph which has
attracted attention all over the world
by Its wonderful achievements Is an
exhibit In the main building which
drew large crowds. Demonstrations
of the wonders of the wireless were
given In the most convincing manner,
"The Universe," a new scenic
electrical spectacle, makes its Initial
bow in the Exposition this season. The
scene Is supposed to take place in
19.10. An aviator makes a tour of the
world In his airship. Dawns, sunsets,
meteor flights, volcanic eruptions,
tropical and polar landscapes and
every conceivable aspect of land, sea
and sky are revealed to the highest
degree of realism.
The Monitor and Merrlmac in their
historical battle at Himpton Roads
is again in the Hippodrome Building
and it is greater, grander and more
beautiful than ever. Real boats and
reaguns are used end the tremendous
roar of battle is awe-lnsplrlng. "The
sky and cloud effects are beautiful
and the White Squadron majestically
passing in review affords a fitting
close to this great spectacle, the
original cost of which was $120,000
There were amusements of all kinds
from the toboggan slide to the merry-
go-round and the scenes of life and
gayety that prevailed everywhere;
and the interest that the exhibit
created indicated that everybody was
delighted and that the inauguration
of the Exposition season was
glorious success.
Prof. C. V. Smith, a former principal
of the Reynoldavllle public schools, has
been elected principal of the Eldorsrldge
Academy. The Academy has boen
completely re-organlsd, tho buildings
refurnished and renovated, aud the
wholu put on a now plane of rftluiuncy.
H la hoped that tliu new management
will bj able to restore lhe famous
Institution to the plane it occupied for
many years previous to the trouble, of u
few years ago.

Saves'
Last year the B.'l Tele
phone System han. led Six
Iiillion ciil s or one hundred
ami ninety every second.
If each message meant a
saving of only ten minutes
time a most conservative
estimate it means that in
1909 the Hell System saved
to the American people, time equiva
lent to 11,155 years.
In other words the Bell Systern.
rendered a service which would take
an individual messenger 114,155 years
to accomplish.
A saving of ten minutes per call
does not begin to represent the saving
of time and steps even in the message
I ( V", m
bbM Steps
across the street much less
the .saving in the long
distance message across the
country.
Nor does the mere saving
in time begin to represent the
comfort, the convenience, the
dis batch afforded by thesr six
billion messages sent from
the five million Bell stations all over
the country.
The Bell System gets things done.
It vitalizes affairs by instilling into
them the spirit of NOW. Makes
the business of tomorrow the trans
