are hereby referred to Our land
agents for the information des;g-
mated.
Walter Billingsly received a te1e-
gram today from Beeville announc-
ing that his father was at the point
of death at his home near Mineral,
Bee county. We hope to hear of
the old gentleman's early restora-
ton to health.
The train came to Olmito today,
which sounds mighty good to the
people of Brownsville. We have
waited and longed with longing
that could not be suppressed, and
at last our small degree of patience
is soon to rewarded. Of course it
seems very serious when we are
cut of from railway traffic, but
when the trains begin running reg
ularly again, our troubles on that
score will fold their tents like
Arabs, and as silently steal away,
leaving only a memory of an I'M
pleasant but profitable experience.
Col Lott. says it was really
amusing during the recent floods
to watch the Mexican population.
They would wait until the water
was almost upon them and then
grab their few belongings and rush
for the hills out of harms way.
When the waters receded they
would return to their abandoned
dwelling places daub with mud
and sticks the holes made by the
water, and go on as though moth
ing had happened. It's a source
of wonder that. no..lossssof lifeIresult-
ed from theihighwater, coming as it
did so suddenly and without warn-
ing, but so far as heard from not
a life was lost on this side. The
town of Camargo OH the Mexican
side was almost entirely swept away
and only two or three children
were reported drowned.

Upon returning home he wrote his
impressions in part as follows:
After all, the most impressive fea-
ture of the Exposition is its size. 1t
is the biggest thing that was eve
built. erected, conceived, organized,
mergered, f1oated, inflated, doomed,
enacted or lied about. And yet it
does not overawe the visitor at first.

saw the whole Exposition. But that
night | thought of some things that
| had overlooked. On the second day
third day | spent in trying to find the
things | had seen on the first day.
why, on that Fair ground. after
you have tired of looking at the re-
ally big things, you can find an arena
large enough to fight a mimic battle
in; a life-sized mining gulch with
mines in operation; a Filipino village
as big as a small town; a group of
administration buildings which look
tiny enough, but which will house a
$40, 000. 900 university after the fair
is over; a reproduction, somewhere
near life-siZed, of Jerusalem which
lots of people hunt for and cannot
find, but it isn't half as large as the
Agricultural building. They say that
there is a full-sized map of Rhode
Island done in corn in the Agriculture
building, but | couldn't find it. 1t

ner and not well advertised.
And all of these wonders are jam
med inside one tight board fence and
