Total OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. l,l1
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1903-07-15
THE RACE IS TO THE SWIFT.


The announcement Of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railroad
Co., that they would complete the
Alice branch into Brownsville by
March 10, 1904, was duly encourage
ing to the hopeful Yesterday. But
it is done zone better" today by the
St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
Railroad CO.. in their assurance
that the Lott road will be finished
to Brownsville by March /, 1904,
and the entire road. including the
Hidalgo branch, will be completed
and in operation by July 1. 1901.
Now we shall see whether the race
will be to the swift and the battle
to the strong. This is the kind Of
competition THE HERALD has been
trying to get started in this coun-
try for years. WiJh two powerful,
enterprising railroad systems COM
peting fer the business of this sec
ton surely the Brownsville coun-
try will develop surprisingly. Added
to these the Matamoros- Monterey
railroad, which is contracted also
to be finished within year, and
the outlook for Brownsville next
year seems too good to be credible.
The wheel of fortune is ever uncer-
tain, but it turns sooner or late to
every spot on the compass; to those
players who have the price and the
patience to stay with the game
fortune will finally smile on their
efforts.
Let us be quiet. Let us not allow
our happiness over the attainment
of long deferred hopes cause us to
act irrationally. Let us remember
that these good things are all ours
by right OF long waiting and earnest.
hard work. Let US turn them to
practical account. Title drlci. There
is much for Brownsville to do to
make herself presentable to
strangers.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1903-07-15
c0M.NISSL0NER COLQUITT.

TIE HERALD pauses IN rejoicing
over the good work of Mr. Yoakum,
Colonel Lott, Major Armstrong,
Lon C. Hill, Mr.. Browne and others,
including itself, in securing for
Brownsville at least one railroad,
long enough to tip Its hat and kiss
its hand to that stalwart defender
of the peoples constitutional rights
that able and experienced bus
mess man-that incorruptible pa
triot-that wise statesman-Hon.
o. B. Colquitt, Railroad Commits
sioner of Texas. To his earnest,
honest, persevering and unfaltering
efforts in prosecuting the cases Of
the State against the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass Railway Compa-
ny, the people OF Brownsville are
due, as much or more than to any
one else. deep obligations and all
the honors of the city for forcing on
the Sap railroad the necessity of
building into Brownsville.
Through the persistent, deter

Colquitt the Sap has been
compelled TO answer to the State for
certain grave offenses, and the pen

PLEASE DON'T.

THE CRoNY is the only newspaper
IN Texas that has not expressed JOY
because J. NJ. Lewis finished his
vacation and is again grinding out
copy for the Houston Post. But we
can whip anyone who says we are
sool enough not TO be glad.-Corpus
Christi Crony.
II the Post itself wouldn't persist
IN vacating The HERALD office we
might add something to the above,
and say that if Henderson should
neea help in any fight that he may
incur he can get ii right here. But
the Post doesn't put in its appear
anee with The HERALD oftener
Than twice a week. Wonder if the
Crony cops out" our Post too on
its way to Brownsville? If you do,
please don't, Mr.. Crony.

A. Brownsville Enterprise.

Scarcely day passes that The
HERALD does not get in its mail
from one to six letters from persons
in all parts of the country, who ask
all sorts of questions about Browns
vile and the Brownsville country.
These inquiries have come from
nearly every State in the Union,
and from foreign countries. Already
Brownsville is well advertised over
the world. There has just enough
been told to arouse interest, and
that which has been told of this
country in many cases is misleading.
The facts are all that need be told.
The Brownsville country can stand
on its merits, if ever any country
could.
Not only The HERALD, but we
learn that every other business
firm in the city gets letters of in
quiry almost daily. To answer
them all in detail, as they should
be answered, would keep several
persons constantly employed. The
task is too great to be thought of;
yet these letters ought to be answer
ed, whether a stamp is enclosed or
not. 1t is to the interest of the
city and country that all questions
from whatever source shall be
answered Immediately.
THE HERALD has conceived the
plan of printing a good sized
pamphlet containing full par
ticUlars OF everything likely TO be
of interest to prospective homeseek-
ers and investors of capital. In
compiling the matter for this
pamphlet we shall need the help Of
every citizen of Brownsville and
shall call on all to aid in the enter
prise. Get out your paper and
pencil right now and put down the
things you think would be suitable
for such publication, so that the
work of gathering the subject matter
may be lessened on the part OF
THE HERALD.
