Shall W. Retain Inc Steamer?

Editor HERALD
Shall we retain the steamer, or
shall we retrogade to schooner ser
vice? Rapid transit means every
thing for our favored but badly
neglected little city Rapid transit
means the retention of troops at
Fort Brown, and probably Its in
! crease to a six-company post. Some
time ago, our best citizens used
strenuous efforts to retain the post,
when there was a possibility that it
would be abandoned. Letters were
written, senators and representa-
tives appealed to. We are now en-
joying the fruits of our labor-and
why should we now risk the loss Of
the golden opportunity of securing
this betterment for Brownsville?
Now that capital and energy are
being attracted in this direction, by
the discovery that we are in the
rice belt, our citizens should make
an effort to hold on to the steamer
service.
Tradition tells us that the Per-
slams were the inventors of trans
portation. With their camel trains,
broke the dawn of the transporta-
ton era. Since then we have gone
step by step, from camel to Oxcarts,
thence to horse and wagon, on
macadamized roads, thence to canal
and tOw-path, thence to sail, and
then the gigantic step to steam.
Nothing has done so much for our
great and glorious country as
steam. View with pride those pal
atial steamers that ply our water
ways. Behold our great western
empire that but q few short years
ago was a bowling wilderness, the
haunt of the red man-but now
converted By network of railways
into a great commercial through
fare. Those beautiful lakes and
sounds where the Indian once pad
died his canoe, by steam have be-
come arteries of commerce, feeding
great commercial ports, with fleets
of merchantmen daily entering
them. Palatial steamers now en-
circle half the globe at every voy-
age bringing the Old World and
the New together in the great sys-
tenn Of commerce. Steam-rapid
transit-has done it all.
And now, in view of all this and
much more that could be said in
favor of rapid transit, could not
our good citizens who have the in
terest OF this city at heart, as well
as their own, get together, and de-
wise some plan by which we may
retain the steamer service? 1t is
cur salvation until we get rail
road.

The champion artesion we'll driller
in Texas and doubtless in the world,
is Mrs. H. NJ. King Of Corpus
Christi, who owns on her 100000
: ere ranch at this writing about 70
flowing wells-possibly 100, and
some with enormous capacity, from
800 gallons to 1000 per minute,
creating creeks, rivers and lakes
where none existed before. She
keeps several outfits constantly at
work, likewise a number of contract
drillers with their own outfits. Five
hundred to eight hundred feet is .
common depth of the wells. Aver
age costs $1,000 to $500. Many OF
the larger ranches now own drilling
machines and keep them constantly
at work. A few that can be mention
ed are John G. Kennedy, Ed G. Las

others. Among the many we'll
drillers in this country they have
found no dry holes and have failed
in surprisingly few instances to
bring in satisfactory wells. The
average price for drilling and cas-
ing (5S inch) and completing an
ordinary or shallow well is about
81 % per foot Perhaps dozen or
more well drillers live at Beeville,
which could very appropriately be
called the wind mill city from the
forest of wheels than may be seen
running day and night all the year
around. 1t is claimed by many
we'll posted people that there is
water enough under any given tract
of land in the coast country, es-
pecially the BeeEille country, to
irrigate it by means of a sufficient
number of wells and pumps operat-
ed by wind mills or gasoline and
steam engines using fuel OIL. c.

Oil has been found in sinking an
artesian well in the heart of Mex
leo City, at a depth of $50 feet.
