GENTLY by government officials at No

site selection directly ON the interna-
tional border and Immediately erected
a large house thereon with doors on
both sides. BY this means. according
to official reports, the laws were evad-
ed by backing up teams loaded with
Mexican goods to the rear door of the
house which did not require crossingthe
line and the goods were then taken
out of the door on the American side
and carried away. The case was re-
ported by collector of customs and he
asked that no townsite be allowed I'M
less there was a street set apart along
the border, to prevent this evasion.

Speaking of the Brownsville road, a
well posted railroad man gave Light
reporter the following figures this
morning: 1.-THE miliage of the road
from San Antonio to Brownsville is
about 275; under the present statutes
of the state it is quite likely that it will
be bonded for $4,000 per mile, or say
50, 300, 900 at per cent would make the
interest $132, 900 per year. Suppose the
road earns the first year of operation
$4,000, the operating expenses would
be $243,197, leaving an amount of s132,
203 over and above operation and to
meet the interest a surplus on hand of
$203. An earning capacity of 1876, 900
per year would be $1,000 per day, or
81 1867 per mile, or say further 1910 per
day per mile. This amount could be
easily earned, and there should be ev-
ry encouragement given the enterprise.
The taxation of the road would accord
ingly be s7,039, and this tax would not
be due until the year 1900 The road
would be in operation in 1898 and 1899
without this expense"
