Rio Grande.

BROWNSVILLE, eX., NOV. Z, 1910.

New York City.
Gentlemen.-Replying to your
recent letter [ enclose herewith
copies of the DAILY HERALD and
our advertising rate card. Practical
ly there will be three railroads here
soon instead OF just two, as you
mention in your letter. Brownsville
and Matamoros, Mex, are separat-
ed only by a,narrow river, and the
Mexican National railroad is now
being built from Monterey, Mex,
to San Miguel, Mex, where it will
connect with a narrow gauge road
now in use between San Miguel and
Matamoros. This road will then be
taken over by the Mexican Nation
al and converted into a standard
gauge. The Mexican National will
connect at the river here with the
two roads being built into Browns
vile through Texas, and the three
roads will build a union bridge
across the Rio Grande and | I'M
derStand will have a union station.
Thus, with two trunk line railroads
connecting with all the important
railroad systems of the United
States and another grand trunk
line connecting with all the great
railroads of Mexico, Brownsville

railroad facilities All this will be

point of the largest undeveloped
territory in the United States, and
its capacities and geographical
location will make it the most I'M
portant commercial CRY in Texas
at no distant date, if not the most
important in the whole Southern
States.
There is certainly a boom in
real estate, both in the city and
surrounding country, as you seem
to anticipate However, this boom
is only temporary, I am convicted,
and it will be but a short time
until prices are set back and the
city and country will then take on
a steady, healthy and continuous
growth. Prices of real estate are
too high just now, but they will DO

while and then there can nothing
else interfere with the growth and
prosperity of what is called the

Has a whole lot of meaning, but the word buffer means a person who, by his cunning ways and cute tricks, Will bluff the other fellow into doing or believing just what he tells him. For instance, there'll be quite few shrewd politicians hang a big blun from now until election day, but we are thinking it will be all taken as not air. Another instance of sophisticated bluff is when one of our blue coated, brass buttoned, street walking cops, who never go out without club ID their hands, arrests some poor unfor- tunate for being tipsy on Sunday, ana he inuuires where he got his drinks; he is informed he got his beverage at the free drinking fountains.
