ABOUT CAMERON COUNTY

Cameron county, itself 6 small
principality in extent. In area
il covers no less than 3,308
square miles. It's southern ex-

of a degree below the 26th. par
aleI. while its northern latitude
is about 27o 90. It's greatest

CLIMATE.
Though SO near the trop s
get the climate of this county
81 comparatively cool IN sum
tner. It's entire eastern front
of about one hundred miles, be-
ing Iaved by the cool waters of
the Gulf of Mexico, which great
IL tempers the heat natural to
southern laiitudes. The pre-
vailing wind throughout the
greater portion of the year is
from the Southeast and comes
directly across the Gnlf The
winters ars also extremely GIld,
and make this an ideal place
FOR any who geek escape from
She rIgors OF northern winter.
Indeed, no place in the United
States enjoys more solnbrIous
climate during the winter sea-
con that Brownsville, the cOun-
" seat Of Cameron county.
Here the average temperature
for thi:ly-nine years was 70 de-
gress.
The land lies nearly level the
altitude at Brownsville being
only - feet. The soil is rich
with the alluvial deposits OF
sndless years, and its treasures
Of fertility are az yet almost
untouched only a limited Por-
ton Of its surface ever having
been disturbed by The piow.
ID many places the soil lies
from six to twenty feet deep,
being practically iDexha ustible,
and this of the finist and richest
soil known, ranging from rich
dark aIlu7iaI TO sandy loom.
The county is watered by the
Rio Grande, which skirts its
rntire southern boundary, a
distance of seveniy-fve miles.
Besides this there are numerous
small streams, called "resacas"
and "arroyos," throughout the
county.

ually finding their way to this
land, where farmers can work

AIl that is needed to develop
the rich resources of this fertile
valley is the construction of a
railroad to connect ii with the
northern markets. Once the
great iron horse finds its way
hither, the man with the hoe
will promptly follow TO claim
these natural riches for himself.
In fact, many have already
fOnnd their way into. The conn
ty. and small colonies Of active
farmers have been settled at
various points within ths past
few years, while the numerous
letters ihquiring about the
country which are received con-
stantly by THE HERALD show
that many others are looking
this way with a vie" Of locating
in the far famed lower Rio
Grande valley. There are also
excellent prospects Of the early
construction of a railroad con
Meeting Brownsville with San
Antonio, and it will probably
not be long ere that magic de-
v-loper will turn mighty tide
of Immigration this way.
BROWNSVILLE.
There is probably no other
town in the United States as
large as Brownsville and pos
sessing such numerous natural
advantages which is as yet
without rail communication
with the outer world. With
population of nearly 1000, sur
rounded by lands fully equal of
fertility TO the famed valley in
the Nile and blessed with a
most sal1brious climate, this
place lacks only railroad
outlet to make it one of the
tnost important cities in Texas.
And there is every reason why
a railroad should be construct
ed to this point. Resides the
city Of Brownsville itself, there
is located here The important
army post of Fort Brown,
which, with the constant chang
lug Of troops and transporta-
ton Of baggage and supplies
would pay large sum annually
TO the support of railraod.

just opposite Brownsville lies
the ir1porian: Mexican city of

over 10,G00, which also receiVee
all of its freight via Browns
Vile. Here we have then a pop
ulation Of upwards of twenty
thousand isolated through lack
of rail facilities, and ready to
pour rich contributions TO-
wards the support OF the
railroad, which there is every
reason to believe will soon
reach here. Nor is this oil, for

A New Romantic Novelist.

The Century Co. announces the dis
covery OF new romantic novelist in a
young New Yorker, Miss Bertha
'Runkle, whose maiden effort is to be
The Century's leading piece of fiction
for the next eight months, beginning
in the August number. It is described
as a dramatic romance of love and adj
venture, and is entitled "The Helmet
Navarro. The scene is Paris during
the siege by Henry of Navarro, and
the action occupies but four days of
the week preceding the Sunday when
Henry entered the city to give his ad-
hesion to the Catholic Church and
accept it's ecclesiastical ritas-the oc-
caslon of his saying that Paris vas
worth MAS. The story is full of
vigorous action, and the plot Is said
to be one of fascinating interest.
Among the characters of the story are
the king himself, the Duke of Mayence,
who commanded the city during the
investment, and hero and heroine of
much attractiveness.
Miss Runkle is the daughter of Mrs.
L. G. Runkle, a lady of large literary
attachments, we'll known by her editor
ial connection with the New York
Tribune, and as one of the working
editors of the Library of the World S
Best Literature" and similar enter
prises.
This story is, perhaps, another out
cropping of the current tendency to
romantic fiction, but it is sal d that il
has not been influenced by any of the
| recent American successes in this field.

Emmet Bundock Leaves With His
Father for England to Claim an Es-
tate Waiting for Them There.

BY the China tomorrow, or the Doric
a week later, Emmet Bundock, who has
been resident of the Islands for the
past two years and a half, will go to
England, to receive, as he hopes and
believes, his share of a fortune of ST.
100000, awaiting him there.
This fortune consists of landed es-
tate near London together with per-
sonal property, and securities, the pro-
ceeds of the income of the estate dur
ing the time it has been in the hands
of administrators. Mr. Bundock goes
to England on this mission not only on
his own behalf but on behalf of other
members of his family equally interest
ed with him.
The property is the Diester family es-
tate, and originally consisted of three
farms. The last owner in possession of
the estate was Mr. Bundock's grand
mother his fathers mother. She died
leaving three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, to whom the estate de-
scended, was a soldier in the British
army, but for some reason or other he
never went into possession of the es-
tate. lie died some time ago, and the
estate according to the information Mr..
Bundock has, descended to his father,
]. S. BJndock, of Sacramento, County
/ California, the next younger son.
This J, S. Bundock came to America
teen years of age, in company with his
brothers and sisters younger than him
self. They all settled in Iowa, but
about seventeen years ago they remov-
ed to Sacramento County California.
The fact of the possibility of this es-
tate coming to them was known all of
these years, but it was not until lately
that any serious efforts were made to
learn it's status. Recently j. S. Bun
dock employed a London solicitor to
look into the matter and this solicitor
has just sent word that he believes
there will be no difficulty in securing
the property. Upon this report, J. S.
Bundock decided to go at once to Lon
don. His son Emmett Bundock was
here, and had been for nearly three
years, employed by McCandless Broth
ers. So ]. S. Bundock came here with
the intention of getting his son to ac-
company Fhim and proceed by way of
the orient to England. But arriving
here. his plans were changed, aad it
has been decided to go direct to Eng
land by way of San Francisco and New
| York.

THE KILLING OF THE LIHUE
JAPANESE.
Nine of the Natives Who Were Present
Declare that the Other Did All the
Beating.

The natives of the crew of the steamer
Niihau, who were present at the killing
of the Lihue japanese, have told the
police a very different story from that
which was first related. The crime is
laid upon the shoulders of the native
KAPPA, who is now i'm Jail on Kauai, ac-
cused of murder in the first degree.
All of the other natives agree that
kaapa did the killing. Five men from
the steamer came ashore yesterday and
were examined by High Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Chillingworth. They said
that in company with Kaapa and four
other natives they met the two Japs and
asked them for cigarettes. Both Japs
got frightened and ran. one got away
and Kaapa caught the other and beat
him
The natives say that no one took part
in the attack upon the unfortunate Jap
but KAPPA, and that the latter used a
big stick to beat his victim. The wit
nesses aver that Kaapa did not know at
the time that he had killed the man.
Four other natives who We're on the
scene are held in Jail on Kauai, as wit
nesses against Keapa. They tell the
same story as those who came here. 1t
appears from all accounts that the
other nine men simply watched Kaapa
do his brutal work and after it was
over all left the scene together.
kaapa is a big powerful man. When
he got to the beach after the assault
he became afraid and instead of staying
on shore all night as did most of the
rest, he swan to the boat and spent the
night on board.

Mr.. Cross reports that the company
is now very nearly ready for business.
Expert Hobbs is now in charge at Lanai
and is instructing Mr.. Nielsen, en- cleo
trician who will have charg of the sta
ton on that Island. Mr.. Pletz takes
row. Mr.. Bowden expects to get away
tomorrow to take charge of the Molokai
station. AS soon as Mr.. Hitchcock is
ready to take charge here Mr.. Pletz
will go to Mahukona. This will be in a
few days. About the same time Mr..
Hobbs will move from Lanai to Maui,
leaving Mr.. Nielsen in charge at the
former island. Mr.. Bowden, Mr.. Pletz
and Mr.. Hobbs, the three experts, will
each have students and will train them
to eventually take full charge of the
stations.
There is now perfect communication
with Molokai and Lanai, although only
company business is DeunB carried on
The company is under obligations to
send the charity message to Hilo before
commercial dispatches are taken. This
message will be forwarded as soon as
the operators are in charge of their res
pective stations and within three weeks
at the outside the whole system will be
in full operation.
THE work of installing the system
has been a great deal harder than /
expected" said Mr.. Cross this morning
"Of course I knew little about it and
thought it was very simple. 1t was my
idea that the poles could be put up in a
few hours. In place of that. however,
it has taken weeks for each pole, des-
pite all of our hurry. Then again we
have had to build houses for the sta
tions. In all instances these were in
out of-the-way places, or at least at
points hard to reach with lumber and
other material. Gradually the Difficult
| ties have appeared, but l am happy to
say we have overcome them and are
| now in daylight. If the people will
bear with us only short time longer
am sure they will be more than pleased
with the system we will give them
There is one thing about it, the stations
we are putting in are there to stay;
| there will be no accidents to them"

THE TRAVELLING MANIA.

WAILUKU, August 1S The travel

Japanese laborers at Spreclfelsville st')l
seems to hold it's own, very many of the
Japanese leaving the plantation by
every steamer for Honolulu ard not a
few for the Coast. Grinding is still go
ing on, but not nearly as actively IS 1t
might be- owing to the scarcity of labor.
Last week, Notwithstanding the short
age of laborers, the mills were kept
going in full operation both night and
day. this being one of the most sue
cessful weeks since the big strike.
Planting is being pushed forward as
rapidly as can be expected under the
circumstances.-Mau News.
