The RIVER QUESTION.
Mexican Jetty Menace to this
Side-Should Take Protective
Measures.
Written for THE HERALD.

L
In time of peace prepare for war,
is an old adage. Our neighbors on
the other margin of the Rio Grande
are taking advantage of the low
water to repair and strengthen their
jetties. Numbers 4 aud 5 have been
repaired and revetments extended
above and below. They are also re-
building No. e, which has been in
a dilapidated state for some time,
but when rebuilt and reverted from
inside will make a formidable jet
", greatly menacing this side of
the river, as it projects directly in
to the which is in contra
to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo," and will attack and impair
the bank just above the upper fer
ry aud make great inroads OH Rus
sell park, though they are claim
lug it is only defensive work.
Quite an able article appeared in
the Sol de Mayo-iu response TO a
former article in the same paper
charging the engineer department
with ii wanton waste of govern
ment funds-in which it was prov
ed that the money had been judi
ciousIy spent. that the jetties had
not only checked the erosion but
had gained much territory.
Would it not be we'll for our
side of the river to heed the old
adage. and take advantage of the
low water to put i'll some defensive
work, before 1t Is too late? Fort
Brown has been protecting the
bank in front of the AdmiulStra-
ton building for the last SIX years
with system Of brush work, which
is good temporary and lnexpen-
sive work, in the absence of Il
more substantial one. A small Sec
ton of iron pipe jetty has been put
in at Fort Brown also, for the pro-
lection of the suction pipe of the
garrison pump, which has not only
had the desired effect but has saw
ed the ground where the ordnance
building is situated just below the
jetty.
1t is too late TO lock the stable
door when the horses are gone.
Let Brownsville consider this mat
ter and take the necessary action
in time.

who retained him to draft a declara ton
on a promissory note. The only other
business he got that year was also given
to him by kinsman, a cousin, and it

of his earliest cases that O'Connell made
the retort that attracted attention to
