fo» the new fiscal year beginning September 1 will be distributed soon, according to E. W. Kinney, license clerk for the Texas Game and Fish commission.

Mrs. Delia Bond, Presidio coun­ty clerk, will have the licenses here for sale at the, courthouse by August 20. Several business establishments in town will also sell licenses.

Both hunting and fishing li­censes must be renewed for the new fiscal year by midnight of August 31.

The 28 different kinds of li­censes cover all phases of hunting and fishing and vary from a 50 cent duplicate license to a $200 wholesale fish dealers license.

The hunting permit which cov­ers both big game and small game will be $2.15 for residents. The resident fishing license will be $1.65.

A new series of cheaper, tem­porary non-resident hunting and fishing licenses will be issued this year.

Paper tags will be used again this year for big game, since the proposed metal tags are still be­ing tested as to their practica­bility.

More than one million separate licenses will be issued to approxi­mately 1,800 county clerks and deputies in the 224 Texas coun­ties.

Morfo Gir ls Baseball Team Beats Alp ine, 23-3 Far Season's Sixth W i n

The Marfa Catholic Girls base­ball team won their sixth game in eight starts Sunday by beat­ing the Alpine Catholic Girls 23 to three.

The Marfa team made five home runs, four of them in the fifth inning, bringing in 10 runs in that frame.

Circuit hitters were Jesusita Garcia, Lola Kirtley, Lucilla Pal-aneo, and Alvinia Sanchez, with Miss Sanchez getting two.

Every player on the Marfa team got at least one hit. The Marfa pitcher, Jesusita Garcia, allowed only nine hits.

The Marfa Girls played at Van Horn last night, and they will travel to Alpine for another match Sunday.

tober 10, 1890, would have been caled an humble bgeinning for the great gathering that grew out of it. But it was not humble in spirit, courage, nor devotion.

The scene was the grove of oak trees in the Davis mountains where Henry Skiilman, a tall, blond frontiersman, had saved a stage from Indian attack.

Forty-nine ranch people of the area had gathered to listen to the Rev. W. B. Bloys, who had won the title of Brother Bloys from the cowmen who liked his simple style of preaching.

Almost half of that first group was children.

A few months earlier, someone had suggested the idea to Brother

Funeral services were held here Sunday afternoon for Rafael Car-mona, 67, who died suddenly of a heart attack, at his home in Del Rio Wednesday morning. The services were in St. Mary's church and burial was in the Merced cemetery.

Born in Presidio county, Car-mona spent his entire life here until about four years ago when he and his wife moved to Del Rio. He was employed with the Southern Pacific railway for many years and was transferred there* by the company.

Survivors include Mrs. Car-mona, who was before her mar riage, Miss Alejandra Palacio of Shafter; five sons, Luz, Dario, Chris, Rafael, Jr., and Conrado Carmona, all of Los Angeles, Calif.; two daughters, Mrs. Ela-dia Lujan of Marfa, and Mrs. F Fernandez of Del Rio; a brother, Antonio Carmona of Phoenix, Ariz., a former Marfa resident, and a number of grandchildren. All of the sons and daughters, also the brother, came here to attend the services.

Pallbearers were Jose Salgado. Jose Chavez, Cifredo Duran, Lor enzo Quintana, Andres Lujan and Manuel Martinez.

together on the range somewhere, and you can preach to us."

Brother Bloys liked the idea; he thought the range country, in the shadow of the mountains, fitted in with the word of God he wanted to tell the people.

Everyone liked the idea of that first meeting. They left, resolving to meet again next year in the same place and visit with each other, and listen to Brother Bloys preach.

At the second meeting, the camp began to become perman­ent. A brush-covered arbor was built, and Brother Bloys himself supervised the construction of seats beneath the arbor. The seats had backs on them, a real luxury in those days.

By the third year, the meeting had grown to the point where Brother Bloys had an assistant preacher; more and/more of the residents of the area were riding many miles to the camp grounds.

The gathering had grown so large by the fourth meeting that the present group camp system was adopted. Large ranches sent their chuck wagons to the grounds to feed their men and any one else who wanted to eat. There were no strangers at the camp meeting. —

In 1902 Bloys Campmeeting as­sociation was formed. Another big step was the buying of the land where they had met for all these years. Now they had permanent home. The next year a gospel tent took the place of the out-grown arbor.

It was around this time that the Beef Tree got its name. Quar­ters of slaughtered beef were

The Rev. Robert D. Parlour, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church in Marfa and St. James' church in Alpine, has resigned his position with the two church­es and will leave September 1 for Dalton, Mass., where he will as­sume the duties of rector of the Grace Episcopal church.

Mr. and Mrs. Parlour have been Marfa residents since June, 1950, when they came here from the East immediately after Mr. Par­lour was ordained. He will take over his new charge September 15, after he and Mrs. Parlour and their daughter, Sydney Jean, visit with their parentts in New York and Canada.

The C4th annual session of the Bloys Campmeeting will start at Skiilman grove near Fort Davis next Tuesday evening* August 18, and continue through August 25.

The camp meeting is operated through the cooperation of four denominations — Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and Christian. Ministers representing each denomination will alter­nate at the three daily services. The ministers are as follows:

Dr. L. D. Anderson, pastor of the First Christian church of Fort Worth, who is called the dean of ministers at the camp meeting. He has served many*

Bible study in the mornings^ preaching services at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 8 p.m. daily with the principal speakers alternating, and prayer services at 5 p.m. will make up the bulk of the daily program. There will be har ,i-crafts for the young people and other items on the program.

Mrs. E. A. Mueller will be spon­sor of the Bloys Youth associa­tion, and a big program is plan­ned for the young people, meet­ing in their own tabernacle.

If you don't want to take vacation because you don't want to leave the comforts of home, the only thing to do is to take the corrfforts of home with you.

That's what Jim Chancey and his family did. Converting a bus into a home-on-wheels, they went on a 30-day vacation trip that in­cluded Port Aransas, Houston, and Port Isabel, staying in the bus all the time. They returned to Marfa last Thursday.

The bus, a regular commercial bus, was converted by Mr. Chan-

The Rev. Julian Hendren of Fort Davis is superintendent of. the camp meeting. J. W. Merrill, one of the few now surviving who attended the first camp meeting, is president of the Bloys Camp­meeting association.

Other officers of the associa­tion are M. O. Means of Valen­tine, vice president; Mrs. R. L. Irving of Fort Davis, secretary; and J. W. Espy of Fort Davis, treasurer.

Every indication points toward attendance as large as that which taxed the capacity of the grounds and buildings for the last several years. The many privately owned cottages on the grounds will house a large part of the visitors, and ample space is available for camping or for trailers.

Others are expected to stay in Marfa or Fort Davis and com­mute to the services daily. In spite of requests for lodgings on

The group a:so agreed to erect another signboard west of Van Horn. That sign will feature a senorita pointing to the slogan emblem "Travel US 90" and tell­ing motorists that by turning right they will be on the road to "Romantic Old Mexico" via the "shorter, safer, cooler route."

Reeves Tevis, Marfa director of the association, said that good progress had been made on the membership drive here and that the two projects would be com* plied with as soon as possible.

Mr. Tevis also reported good cooperation in Ojinaga. He made a talk to the Lions club there Tuesday.

About 25 members of the asso-ciation attended the August meet* ing last Sunday in Alpine. Dr. C. L. Basset, president of the organization, showed a printed card entitled "Welcome the Vis* i ors" which will be given to all members to help them explain thie attractions of the highway to travelers. .'Also planned are baggage stickers bearing the name of the highway and a highway map.

The next meeting of the group will be at the Big Bend park Sep­tember 12 and 13.

The bus carries its own water supply, and it tows a jeep that has an electrical generator in it. When stopped for the night, the bus is completely self-sufficient. A luggage rack on the top holds anything that won't fit inside.

Besides Mr. and Mrs. Chancey, their three children, Jay, 10, An­drea, 5, and Terry, 4, went on the trip.

Mrs. Chancey said Terry had more fun than any one else on the trip, because "he's such a small thing that he fitted right in."

By Tom T. Christian | Mr. A. R. Eppenauer estimates

that the conservation program on his ranch in the Davis mountains has increased tho carrying capac­ity by 40 percent in the last 17 years. Mr. Eppenauer has long

| been interested in the conserva­tion of his range resources. When he first purchased the ranch in 1936, Mr. Eppenauer was con­vinced that ranch operations should harmonize with the laws of nature. He has taken every opportunity to get information or assistance on how to practice conservation on his ranch.

In 1947 Mr. Eppenauer request­ed the assistance of the Soil Con­servation districts. The ranch is located in the Davis mountains in the Toyah-Limpia Soil Con­servation district. In addition, he owns a ranch near Marfa where he is a cooperator with the High­land Soil Conservation district. His beautiful home, iiami and cool green irrigated pastures sur­rounding his headquarters are a show place.

The first decision that had to be made was to determine how to harvest the grass crop. It was decided to graze enough cattle through the year to harvest the grass that was produced and leave a reserve of 20 to 25 per­cent ungrazed.

The next major decison was to j determine how io gei, and keep, i the livestock distributed over the range so that all areas would re­ceive a uniform grazing load. This involved coordinating a com­bination of factors over a period

of years. The main ones were proper fencing, water develop­ment, salting, herd management, and grassland management so that part of the grassland would not be grazed during the growing season.

binders and all necessary book­keeping supplies at The Sentinel, your Office Supplies store.

r . p p e n a u L T ims m e a s u r e d the results of his operatons in the following manner: (1) the carrying capacity of the ranch has increased 40 percent in the past 17 years, (2) they have pro­duced better than 90 percent calf crop in all but one year in the past 11 years. (3) the feed bill this past winter has been at a minimum; only the bulls, year­ling heifers, and some calves re­ceived supplemental feed, (4) there is 30 percent of last year's grass production that is ungrazed (5) the livestock are healthy, in good flesh, and should respond very rapidly when pastures green up.
