    THE BATTALION
39
T. R. Batle, Jr., holds a position in Arizona, where he is
helping to superintend the construction of an electric railroad.
It is in one of the roughest places of the country. Batle is a
member of class ’02.
W. H. Tilson ’03, is still enjoying his days at the home ot
his father. The rumor of his marriage was nothing but
flattery.
R. Ross ’02, is employed as levelman in a locating party
in Mexico.
R. L. Alexander will probably return to the A. & M. dur
ing the year of ’04-05, to take post-graduate work in Civil
Engineering.
Mr. W. W. Lillard was recently chosen Literary Editor
of the Battalion, Mr. Maxwell having resigned. Mr. J. R.
Tabor is now Assistant Literary Editor. The reputation
of these new editors for literary work is among the best at
College, and we expect much from their department.
In the Texas Club of Cornell University eight of the
eighteen members are A. & M. men, five are ’Varsity men
and two hail from Georgetown.
H. F. Mathews is at Batson Prairie, employed as in
strument man by J. M. Guffey Co. of Beaumont. He says:
“When we first drove up to Batson Prairie, a single derrick
was the only thing in sight. We went out into the woods,
ran a line back on the prairie and found three tents. We
haven’t been here three weeks and now the place boasts of
ten rigs and about seven hundred people.”
