A Narrow Escspe,

A young man of this city, whose
name is withheld for prudential rea-
sons, went into the pear orchard of
Mr.. Felder's Thursday, and as he
was coming out loaded with the
lucious fruit the proprietor emptied
the contents of a shot gun at him,
one or two of the bird shot piercing
his hat and one cutting a swath
through his locks, which we have
no doubt stood up from fright, and
leaving a mark on his scalp. He
dropped the pears and sent an apol-
ogy to the owner for the unlimited
intrusion, which ends the matter,
but the recollection of the little cpl
sode will perhaps deter the young
man for all time to come from enter
ing another orchard without per.
mission.

whatever they wanted, emptying a

whisky and appropriating lot OF
such staple articles as bacon and

Not satisfied with what they stole,
they proceeded to add insult to
injury by messing up the floor of the
store.
This is the fourth time this year
that this store has been burglarized,
the burglars seeming to think it is
their own property to fall back on

avail, but by the aid Of electric bat,

BRENNAN AND YELASCO.

If other towns over the State art
going as wild about Velasco as some
of the BRENNAN people there would
naturally be boom there from the
speculation in lots, but all the spec
ulation in lots that can be done
don't make a town. You may buy
early and sell at profit, and make
money, and the second or even thirG
man may unload before the maxi
mum price is reached, but if there
is not the improvement there tc
back it, these lots must ultimately
seek lower level. We doubt not
that Velasco will make a good town
perhaps a city, but it will be some
time before it is as large as Bren
ham and years before it will rival
Galveston, but from the way lots
are being held-and some of them
sold-people seem to think there is
fortunes in that dirt at once
Have you thought about what
this little plat of prairie around the
mouth of the Brazos is being held
at. Take the first division, which
we were shown on a map yesterday,
which contains 40 blocks, of 26 lots
to the block, the corners being held
at $4,000, those next to the corners
at $500 and the others at $1,000
each, and by figuring it out you will
observe that it amounts to $4,000
per block. As there are even 40
blocks at $4,000 each, it amounts to
the neat little sum of S2,000,000.
Maybe it is worth it, and maybe 1t
will go right on up from these fig
ures, but Velasco will have to build
up considerably before these values
will appear to be intrinsic.
As to che other divisions that will
not be in demand as business blocks
until after the town is as large as
Galveston or larger, it will be q
long time before actual builders
want them, and until actual build
ers want the lots at the prevailing
prices, there is no evidence that the
prices are moi inflated.
If the other nine divisions are
sold at The prices they are now held
at the Velasco property now on the
market will bring somewhere in the
neighborhood of S6,00O,OOO.
Lots around Brennan, city of
1000 established, with a good coun-
try around it, are not worth the
money.
The BANNER would not detract
one iota from the new town, and be-
lieves that with IFS II feet of deep
water it must ultimately be good
town, but there is no necessity for
our people to use all their surplus in
lots at high prices, when there are
so many things that they could in
vest in at home, and besides making
good money out of it, would at the
same time build up the city and en-
nance the value of their property
here. Because Velasco has deep
water and is going to be town,
there is no logic in paying the
prices for lots that the town will
make them worth five years from
now.
Brennan people had better do
something to build up their own
town and enrich themselves by en-
HANGING the value of their property
here. This could be done by the
building of a road from here to the
mouth of the Brazos and at the
same time help both places.
