THE HERALD was the recipient
this morning of a pleasant call
from Pat Whelan, of Corpus Chris
ii, and his nephew, J. D. Whelan,
of Junction City, Kansas, both OF
whom arrived in Brownsville last
evening. Pet Whelan is an old
timer in this section, and is very
well and favorably known to a large
majority of our citizens. For a
number of years he was sheriff OF
Nueces county and was a terror to
the evil doors. Mr.. Whelan has
held various positions of trust in
Nueces county continuously for the
past thirty years, and always prov
ed himself worthy of the trust
imposed in him by his fellow citi-
Zens.

Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer

A HERALD man saw yesterday
a Mexican half dollar of the new
coinage of 1905. The coin is con-
siderable improvement over the old
coins, being a fraction smaller and
more perfect in contour. On one
side is the legend Estados Unidos
Mexicanos," and on the other the
words, so Centavos. F" The edge
is not milled as in the old coins,
but is smooth and has the words
Independence Y Libertad, !" in
scribed on the polished edge. The
rising sun bearing a crest with the
word "Libertad" emblazoned there
on denotes that the sun of Mexico
liberty has risen to light that ma
ton to further attainment. The
new coins are not in circulation on
this side the river and that seen
by this reporter was probably the
only one in the city.

Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer

THE HERALD learns the dreg-
ing of the channel inside the bar
at Point Isabel was completed this
morning at 2:30. The dredge will
now be taken back to the wharf
and will complete the turning
basin which was only partially
finished at first. The basin will
be 30Ox4O0 feet i'll dimensions when
completed and will allow vessels of
large draft to turn when they are
able to cross the bar, which THE
HERALD hopes will not be long.
1t IS believed by those in a position
to know that the action of the tide
sweeping out will assist in cutting
out the bar, or at least a part of it,
thus making the work of opening
a channel across the bar, com
paratively easy. THE HERALD
believes the day is not far eff when
Point Isabel will be one of the
finest ports on the Texas coast.
And then what will prevent the
Frisco system from diverting It's
freight through this port? Some
of you fellows please tell US. The
Panama canal will be open some
day. and the port of Isabel would
be strictly It. Sabe?
