NAVIGATE THE BRAzOS
There Will be Big Money in It
To Everybody.

The Brazos Navigation Conyen.
ton meet on Thursday Of this
week, at BRENNAN. This is the
most important question now be.
fore the people Of this section OF
Texas. Bryan has large delega-
ton appointed to attend, and Hon
5. X. Henderson is anxious to have
everybody who can do 50, to go
with him over there.
The navigation of the Brazos
river is perfectly feasible and prac-
ticable. This writer has often
heard the idea Of such navigation
ridiculed, but it is usually done by
| people who are not conyersant
with the subject Skilled engi-
neers have examined the stream
more than once and pronounced
the navigation Of the stream per.
fectly feasible and practicable un-
dertaking 1t would cost a large
sum Of money, about two million
dollars being the estimate 10 carry
the head Of navigation by light
draft boats as far as Waco. But
larger sums are being expended by
the general government to open up
streams in other parts ofthe United
States, where the conditions are
not more favorable, and where the
benefits to be derived by the PEG.
pie are not larger than in this case.
In fact, it would be hard to con-
ceive Of a project that would
rebound more to the benefit Of the
people than this one; or case in
which so large a number Of people
are entitled. under the prevailing
policy Of the general government,
TO such a work ofinternal improve
ment.
The navigation Of the Brazos
would mean, not only low freights
by water for the thousands and
tens Of thousands of people whose
commerce would be tributary to
this important stream, but it would
also mean cheaper rates by rail.
Houston has railroad freight rates
based upon the navigation OF her
bayou; and while but little of her
commerce is carried by water, the
benefits to her on account Of the
possibility Of bayou navigation are
just as great as i! the freight was
all hauled in that way, and even
greater.
Bryan is directly interested, and
should do her part. Our congress.
men and Z. 5. senators can dc
much for Us in the way Of getting
an appropriation, if our people will
do the proper thing to hold up
their hands We should show an
overwhelming sentiment in de,
mand Of the enterprise, and lay
our petitions before congress. The
time to start the work is this week
at Brennan.
Let US have a good delegation al
the convention; or, at the very
least, Jet Us be represented by som,
kind Of a delegation, even if it is d
small one

ITO HOTEL ST.
THE BREW OF OLYMPUS.

THE "HOFFMAN," corner Of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims to be the
Banner" resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. L. H. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
yising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons "Olympia Beer" This brew
Is from the Capital Brewing Co." OF
Olympia, the capital Of the State OF
Washington, and was received by the
"Garonne." Mr.. Schmitt, the leading
spirit of this corporation, is a practical
Chemist and Brewer, and after years
OF search and investigation located his
plant at Olympia, on account Of the
peculiar virtues of the water OF the
Eum Falls, stream that is noted for
Its distinctive qualities of clearness,
GOODNESS and lack of mineral and de-
eaying vegetable impurities. Pure beer
ean only be made with pure water, and
Tum water is traditional in Washing
ron with the Indians and original white
settlers. The "Olymphia Draught" Is
ander the special control and agency
OF Mr.. Dee and he invites his patrons
and friends to a personal test and is
willing to abide by their judgment on
me merits of his latest venture.

CUSTOMS WORK.
A New Arrangement to EqualiZe
the Labor

Commencing with yesterday morning
a new system relating TO the customs
district inspectors and guards was in
augurated.
In the past the work OF the inspect
ors and guards was such that some of
the men were required to do more
work than others. The present sys-
TEN, as put in vogue yesterday, does
away with all the old obstacles and
equalizes the work and at the same
time familiarizes every one of the in
spectOrs with all the details Of work
AS it now stands each district inspect
or alternates on the day and night
shift and the boarding officer is re-
quiTed 10 board all vessels, day or
might, for the period of one month.
after which he assumes the usual
duties assigned the inspectors and one
Of the former district inspectors be-
comes boarding officer for one month
The same condition relative to the
duties of the guards are adopted, each
man working six hours on and six
hours off.
Under the new system adopted by
Collector General McStOcker and Port
surveyor Stratemeyer, all men en-
ployed perform the same amount of
labor. There is no increase, in force,
which. however, cannot be enlarged
until the Legislature makes further ap-
preparations.

The Men to Meet Next.

The tennis finals in the ladies'
doubles were played Tuesday afternoon
on the Pacific Club courts.

former team after five closely contest
ed sets. The score was 20, 81, Sc,
6-3, 10 The rain interfered with fast
play However, on account of the
teams being so closely matched the
games were interesting. The main
feature was the playing of Miss Hart
and Miss Hoffman, who had already
been twice opposed, once in the mixed
doubles and again in the ladies'
singles. Not only We're the five sets
necessary, but of these two were
deuce" sets, which shows the match
was close. Each of the winners will
take their pick of any racket in the
stock of the Pearson. Potter Co

CURIOSITY.

NOltaire, in one of his writings,
states, as his opinion: It is curiosity
alone that induces people to hasten to
the shore to see vessel overwhelmed
in a tempest and remarks that he had
experienced the feelings at such an
event, as those of only curiosity and
pity. He claims that curiosity is re-
turned to man, monkeys and little
dogs. Take a little dog with you in a
closed carriage, he will be constantly
putting up his paws against the door
to see what is passing. A monkey
searches everywhere and appears to be
examining everything. AS to men, we
all know how they are constituted, in
London, Paris, New York, San Fran
cisco or Honolulu. All meet you with
the greeting Whats the news?"
If there's anything bothers the cur
It is something which one wishes to
know,
And one really becomes very anxious
When the course to the climax is
slow.
