Dallas Tex. Sept. 3. Tho Texas
drouth situation is as sorlous Appar-
ently today xa It has been at any tlmo
Elnco tho beginning in May. Thoro
nro no bettor signs of n break in tho
parching rainloas period now than
thoro have fioon on numorous days or
nights during tho last ninety days.
Aside from tho loss in small grain
crops nnd tho destruction of one-third
of tho cotton crop Ihcro are other
equally serious results to bo tnken Into
calculation.
Stock water is growing Bcarcc and
range feed bccrmlng barron la many
places. This live stock nffllctlon is
not confined to tho vast rcnchlng
areas In tho Panhandlo and In South--western
TexnB whoro grass fed
Ticevcs aro raised but stretches i vcr
tho pastures of tho agricultural por
tions of tho stnto smitten by dry
Weather nnd where high grado cat-
tle nnd horses aro largo Items in tho
farming assets.
Many fine cattlo aro being disposed
of at sacrifices and work stock Is be
ing disposed of down to tho minimum
of actual farm necessity at much less
than ono-half tho prices they were
quoted at ono year nso. Farmers
particularly renters short of gran and
fodder can not nrford to pay tho
-prices necessary to carry surplus
stock through tho winter.
Stories of distress apparent and
anticipated are coming from various
sections. Tho short cotton crop 13
going to bo a severe blow to tho im-
provident negro population. Prices
for picking will not bo on an average
more than two-thirds as high as if a
full crop had boon raised and the
picking season will not bo two-thirds
aa long. Retail merchants who have
carried renters and pickers with a
summer's supply of provisions arc
suro to lose a considerable per cent
of their accounts to say nothing of
tho shortngo of tho trade.
What Pickers Will Lose.
It requires eighteen hundred pounds
-of seed cotton to mako a five hundred
pound bale of lint cotton. At fifty
cents a hundred paid for picking tho
cost to tho grower of picking a bnlo
of cotton Is approximately nlno dol-
lars. With a miliios bales shortage
In tho crop as compared to tho crop
of last year tho cotton pickers of
Texas stand to lost nlno million dol-
lars in wages and ns nearly every
dollar of cotton picking money goes
to the retail merchants that claBs of
business mon aro suro to loso approx-
imately nlno million dollars in retail
trade.
All this Is to bo charged up to tho
drouth and added thoroto must bo

Los Angeles Cal. Sept 3. Accord-
ing to tho Evening Express a private
dispatch has born received hero stat-
ing that Second Vice President Paul
Morton of tho Atchison Topeka &
Santa Fo railway has been tendered
tho position of C. M. Hays as presi-
dent of tho Southorn Pacific. Much
credonco Is attached to the story at
Santa Fo henquartors In this city
and it Is said- that confirmatory nows
has also reached hero from Wall
street sources.
Paul Morton became a clork in tho
gonoral freight office of tho Burling-
ton & Missouri River at Plattsmouth
Neb. in 3873 after having previously
boon employed for a fow months in
tho land office of tho same road. Ho
beenmo successively rate clork gen-
eral clcfTc assistant general freight
agent first assistant general freight
agent general passengor agent and
general freight agont of tho samo
road leaving tho lattor position In
1890 to become president of tho Colo-
rado Fuel & Coal company Southern
Iowa railway and Illinois Western
rallwny which position he occupied
until 1890 when ho wont to the Santa
Fe ns third vice president In charge
or traffic. In 1H9S ho uecamo second
vico president of tho Santn Fc.
Tho Kansas City Journal says:
"Where It not for tho position of J.
C. Stubbs traffic director of tho Un-
ion Pacific nnd Southorn Pacific tho
report might bo given moro credence.
Mr. Morton Is essentially a traffic
man" although famlllnr with other
branches of railway service and It is
thought strange horo that a traffic
man would bo mado president of the
Southern Pacific after an arrange-
ment has been made under which tho
president of that road has no control
whatever oyer traffic matters."
