DEMONSTRATION FARM
FOR BROWNSVILLE
Congressman Garner Will Use Best IT.
forts to Secure the Establishment OF
One this Summer.

As reported in Mondays HER
AID, a telegram was sent by Hon.
James B. Wells to Congressman
Garner, requesting information as
to what steps are necessary to Sc
cure the establishment of govern
mental experimental farm at
Brownsville. A prompt reply was
received this morning from Con-
gresham Garner which, while it
shows no immediate prospect of Sc
curing the desired object, gives
promise of his best efforts to do so
as early as possible. When Jo1n
n. Garner makes such a promise,
it means something, and so Browns
vile may reasonably hope for early
developments in this direction.
Copies of both Judge Wells tele-
gram and that of Congressman
Garner were kindly furnished THE
HERALD, and are herewith append
ed:

AN IDEAL TOWN SITE
West Brownsville Beautifully Located In
a Forest of Ebony and Huisache.

Lying just west of the present
city of Brownsville, skirting the
beautiful Rio Grande for half a
mile and then plunging back into
the primeval forest and unbroken
raw prairie for six. miles, with its
streets and avenues hewn out of a
magnificent growth of south Texas
forest trees, studded with beautiful
lakes. of fresh water and smiling
beneath a food of eternal sunshine,
the new addition known as West
Brownsville. presents a truly ideal
site for the building of a great city.
The scribe had the pleasure of
drive out to the new town site Sun
day with General Manager Child
dress of the Brownsville Land and
Town comp any, which owns the
land on which West Brownsville is
to be built. The tract company
comprises 2600 acres all which
is easily susceptible of irrigation
from the river or from its numerous
lakes and resacas.
Through the entire length of the
tract runs the St. Louis, Browns
vile and Mszico railroad, and it is
the intention of General Manager
Childress to put out several demon
stration gardens on either side of
the track so that strangers entering
the city over tine new road NAV re-
ceive agreeable first impressions of
the productiveness and possibilities
of the soil.
A novel conceit suggested by Mr..
Childress is to name the cross streets
of the new addition from the diff
ferent woods of this section, such |
as mesquite, ebony, huisache,
orange, nopal, etc. The other
streets, which are practically ex-
tensions of the present streets
Elizabeth, Washington, ETC., will |
go by the same names.
The plating and surveying of
the tract is not yet completed and
cannot be until the location of the
shops is known. Accord
ing to the terms of the purchase of
one-half interest in the company
BY the members of the St. Louis
Union Trust company-who are
he builders of the Lott road, as is
we'll known-the latter company
will buy thirty acres of land con-
located in West Browns
vile for the purpose of establishing
freight depots, yards, shops, and
,ther terminal facilities. As soon
Is the exact location of these is de-
:ided upon, town lots in West
Brownsville will be placed on the
market, and the sale of small tracts
or truck farming will also be
pushed.

RARE ALOE WOOD TREE.

The aloe wood tree is native of the
mountain east and southeast of Sylhet,
Burmah, and in Bengal. It Is valuable
account Of dark resinous, aromatic
juice with which the wood is some-
times gorged. This resin, or agar as 1t
is colloquiaIly termed, is used for its
perfume and supposed medicinal prop
critics. 1t is very costly and is used for
incense in religious and other eeremo-
MES and also in the preparation of q
perfume called agar altar, which Is
practically as costly as altar of roses.
The most interesting geature in con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any partieu-
lar tree will be found to contain the
precious resin. A tribe of hill men
known to the native as agar humans
make it their business to search for the
resinous wood. Their trade is a secret
which they always endeavor to preserve
| from all natives of other tribes. A
party of agar HUMANS goes off into the
mountains with provisions for as long
as three months. and they prosecute
their tedious search In districts where
probably a human being is not seen
] from one month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before it can be aseer-
tanned whether they contain any Of the
resinous deposit, and sometimes after
a wearisone search through half a
dozen trees, young and old, not single
piece OF agar is discovered. Again, II
tmay be that a rich find is made and
then the collector Is repaid for half a
month of work-From the Bombay Ga
