GOOD WORD FOR TAMAULIPAS.
RIO Grande Valley Rivals the Nile'
liut Lacks Development.
Gov. Arguelles May Aid in Its Advance
ment-Railroads the Great Need,
Says Consul Griffith.
Monterey News, April II.

Within three weeks water will be
turned into the irrigation bitches
that a Chicago syndicate has been
building in the valley OF the Rio
Graude, Ersr Brownsville, Tex,
for the purpose of rice culture, +.
Merrill Griffith, United States Coy
sui at MstamOros. who is at thu
Iturbide, says that the work con- the
bitches is almost flushed aud thai
most of the pumping machinery is
being put in place While the prin
cipal thing that the Chicago com
pauy expects To raise is rice, Mr..
Griffith says it is probable that It
will alec grow sugar cane aud many
other products that can be grown
in such a climate and soil.
"TamauIipas has as rich natural
resources as any state IN the he
public" said he, land the soil along
the river is as rich aS the valley OF
the Nile. Anything suitable to a
sub tropical climate can be grown
there. There is All abundance Of
water Ia the Rio Grande, aud there
are thousands of acres susceptible
to successful irrigation. However,
the water must be pumped as the
fall of the river is not sufficient to
lrrigate by gruvitatiOn.
HOPE IN GOVERNOR ARGUELLEs.
There is a law IN Mexico that
prevents 4 foreigner from owning
land within twenty miles OF the
river aud for that reason the South
side of the valley remains the same
uncultivated tract that II always has
been. Thousands of doSOf
American capital are said to,be
ready for investment on this side
of the river it the proper cOuces-
Sious could be obtained, and II is
thought that under The present
state administration IL might be
possible To secure more rights for
that purpose than has ever been
possible before. The people have
great deal of faith IN the policy OF
the present administration which
has at It's head such wise aud
progressive mau as Governor Ar
guelles.
Mr.. Griffith, who has been the
American consul at MatamcfoS for |
three years, says the state possesses
ell the characteristics that will
make it one OF the greatest in the
Republic, but declares the people
are in need OF better railroad facil-
tiles.

RAILROAD MED Is GREAT.

"They are very anxious" said
be, "to see the extension OF the
National built from San Miguel TO
Monterey. Unless one takes a boat
to Galveston aud comes hundreds
of miles ont of his way it is impos-
sible to reach Monterey without
taking a coach for considerable
portion OF the distance. IL is i'm
possible for us to get paper from
the interior until it Is about FIVE
days old, aud in many ways our
lack Of railroad facilities is a draw
back to the country. 10 the vicinity
OF the coast one of the most invit-
ing summer resorts could be built,
but that is impossible until it be-
comes possible to get in and out OF
the country without riding for
miles in n coach"
Mr.. Griffith arrived yesterday
morning and probably will return
tomorrow.

POLICE NOT ELECTED.


They Are NOW Under the Civil Service
Rule in Brunswick.
The general impression prevails
among our people that the police force
will be flamed by council at the regu-
lar election OF officers next mon+h.
This is mistake, as the Brunswick
police are not elected by council. Ii
will be remembered that when the
Good Government club first took
cnarge of the city affairs they had in
troduced in the Legislature bin
amending the charter OF the city, ana
placing the police force under the civil
service rule, therefore every member
of thar department of the city, except
the chief and assistant chief, can hold
their positions until removed by coun
Gil for some cause. The chief and as
sistant chief are still elected yearly.
