Its Health and Wealth, Water
works and General Progress.

works and General Progress.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Sept. II, 1913.
To the Daily LIGHT:
Though rain has been wanting
in this section of the Lords foot
| stool, for none has fallen since the
early days of June, the outlook on
farm and ranch is far above the
average. Cotton picking is in pro-
gress on every farm; the cotton
gins along the line Of the Arkansas
Pass railroad are in constant mo-
ton in preparing the staple for
market; at one station we counted
some thirty wagons loaded with
cotton from the fields waiting for
their turn to have their ginning
done. Cattle and horses look slick
and fat, wherever they are seen.
Long before reaching the coast,
the balmy sea air, mingled with
the cooling moisture of the gulf
breeze, brings its refreshing effect
to the system. While coming over
the several miles of long trestle
work across NueceS Bay, at slow
run, the roaring of the surf on the
islands, some twenty miles distant,
is distinctly audible.
Corpus Christi, the Bluff city,
the location of which is one
of the finest on the gulf,
is holding her own, ana is con-
stantly improving, she has now
fine system of water works COM
pleted and in fine working order,
the stand pipe looms up like a
mighty tower in the distance on
the highest point on the upland
plateau to which the water is
brought some fourteen miles from
the Nueces river.
The oyster and fish business has
fairly set in. Large preparations
have been constantly improving to
supply the interior with the much
relished bivalveS.
Nueces county has at all times
been the home of many wealthy
StOckmen and is furnishing now
more than an ordinary prOrata of
tourists to the Chicago entertain
ment, among them being Capt.
Mifiin Kennedy and family,
Mr.. Hirsch, Judge Robt. p.
Kleberg and a number of others
Mrs. Richard King arrived in Cor
pus Christi today from her beauti-
full home to view the preparations
for the erection of a fine residence
on the bluff. 1t will be the seaside
home, and its location such as to
afford a grand view over the eX-
pansiVe waters of the bay.
Mr.. Mic Constantine is still
holding the fort at the "COnstan-
tine,' and as pnrveyOr of good
yiands with special reference to
fish, oysters, shrimp, ETC., he has
no equal.
1t was our pleasure to meet EX-
Governor Wheeler, who is "dOing"
the surrounding country with his
eloquence on the deep water ques-
ton. The governor is an enthusi-
asst on the subject and is confident
of final success.
Corpus Christi also possesses a
fine string band, this was proven
by fine serenade rendered a new
~ married couple from San AntO'
Mo, who We're stopping at the
"COnstantine" during our stay.

Daring GreenEnches.

A greenfinch once built its nest inside the
deserted home of misselthrush. This
deserted nest was well known TO the bird
nesting boy as forsaken, it being several
seasons old and much battered by the
storms of past winters, so none ventured to
climb the trees after it. The enterprisinc
finches succeeded in bringing off brood of
five successfully, and this in spite of the
fact that the tree was almost in the village
street and stood quite alone. As if aware
Of its publicity, the old birds were very
cautious in their journeys to and from the
nest and did not display the marked rest
lessness of parent birds in general-other-
wise their secret must have been BETRAYED
The young birds practice deception for
their ultimate safety, especially those of
the partridge and lapwing species. At a
given signal from the parent they SQUAT
close to the ground, hoping by such means
to escape the eye of the intruder In such
cases their coloring assists them, the feath-
ers of the helpless fedglings partaking of
the hues of their general surroundings.
Nestlings taken by surprise feign helpless
ness and encourage the notion that they
have not yet power to use their wings. But
no sooner Is the means of escape evident
than away they futter, awkwardly it is
true, but sufficiently well to accomplish
their urpose.-London Tit-Bits.

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. It's equipment
thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all

proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
Ployes are important items. They
are double dsty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.

FRIDAY, JULY %, 1898.

THE exodus from New England
into lower Canada, upon which the
newspapers are commenting as an
ominous thing, is only the return
to their homes of the French Can
adams, who swarmed over into the
manufacturing towns of New Eng
land two years ago for the higher
wages that were offered. At that
time wages were low and work
scarce among the "HabitauS" and
New England was an inviting
field. Now that the mills are clos
ing down these French Canadians
are returning home. 1t is safe to
say that no native New England
ers are seeking homes in lower
Canada. Bad as matters may be
on this side of the line they bear
no comparison to the conditions
that exist across the border. 1t is
very different with the Canadians,
who, finding no more work for
them on this side, return home.
A Pittsburg metallurgist sug-
gest a solution of the coinage ques,
ton by the minting Of cOmpO-
site dollar, the alloy for the silver
coin being gold and aluminium
in sufficient proportions to pre-

government upon its issues of
metal or paper and they will cir
culate fast enough. No fear OF
that.
