BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME.
10000 Acres of Land in I1idaIgo County
To be Placed Under irrigation.

A short time ago. there was or
ganized and chartered what IS
termed the Yoakum Land & Irri-
CATION company. with a capital
stock of $780, 900. This company,
of which John Closner is president,
and Uriah Lott, vice-p7esident.
owns $500 acres of land at Closner
in Hidalgo county, fronting on the
Rio Grande. It is one of the finest
sites on the river for a pumping
station, and there are so, 900 acres
CT land which can be irrigated
from a plant stationed OH this $500
acre tract, the belt reaching as far
as Raymondville. The company
conten1plates putting in an immense
pumping plant and will install six
36-inch and two 24-inch pumps to
irrigate the land. The irrigation
will be by gravitation, almost the
entire tract being capable of irriga-
ton by this method. In proof that
the company means business, en-
gineers are now at work running
levels, and it IS expected to get
everything in shape for irrigation
by next year. If the company sue
ceeds in its expectations, and there
is not the slightest cause to suggest
failure, it will open for cultivation
a magnificent farming section,
which prospectors will not be slow
to realize, and it is confidently ex-
pected the new company will be
the means of inducing quite an in
flow of population to the territory
which this large irrigation enter
prise covers. THE HERALD will
keep its readers posted on the pro-
gress made by the company, and
feels sure that the enterprise will
be a great success.

tingent suffered at the hands of The
light fingered gentry
Among the arrivals last evening
in Brownsville, were c. H. Lee,
retired capitalist of Zion City, III.
and Geo, R. Nixon, assistant post
master of the same place. While
these gentlemen are from the city
made famous by Glexander Dowie
the alleged prophet, they want il
distinctly understood they have
not the slightest connection with
that distinguished Individual. They
say, however, that Dowie has made
definite arrangements in Mexico
for the establishment of bis colony
having secured land for the pur-
pose. These gentlemen were on a
prospecting tour, and made rush
for the ferry this morning, and
crossed to the other side, III order
to be able to tell their friends at
home they had been IN Mexico.
They also secured some Mexican
coins and other trinkets as solve
Mrs of their trip to the southern
most part of Texas. The gentle
ment did not stay long enough to
form any definite opinion of this
section, but were favorably i'm
pressed with present indications.
On March End, two Syrian
brothers, named Milad and Heake1
Zakarya, applied to the ir1nigra-
grafton inspectors here for admis-
sion to the United States. They
were examined and admitted. On
reaching San Antonio, however,
they were arrested, examined and
pronounced to be afflicted with
trachoma, a disease of the eyes.
They were carried to Laredo, tried
before the authorities there and
ordered deported. The case was
to the department, and
as the Syrians had been
properly inspected and passed on
at Brownsville, the department or
dered that they be admitted into
Uncle Sans territory. The in
formation was contained IN a COM
munication to Chief Immigrant
Inspectors F. w. Boss, at this post.
THE HERALD man saw sample
Of E. H. Goodrich crystal wax
onions this morning, and it was a
laudy. OF just about the proper
commercial size, its crystal white
ness makes the onion very attrac-
i've. Mr.. Goodrich says his onions
Ire doing splenidly, not all being
Iuite as large as the sample shown,
out giving promise of a good yield,
md with the present warm sunny
they will soon be ready
ior market. Like good reports
come from nearly all our onion
growers, which is a very gratifying
of affairs, and gives the
lie to that conservative estimate"
hat has been going the rounds
ately that not more than fifteen
of onions would be ship
ped from the Brownsville country.
THE HERALD learns that Col.
o. Lott IS expecting his wife and
laughter to join him here in about
! week. They are on the way and
stopped over in Chicago for few
lays before coming to Browns
vile Col. Lott has secured apart
nents at the Southern Hotel for
lis wife and daughter.
Just why some of our monied
men don't build a few nice rent
cottages is a mystery. THE HER

houses to rent. Why not employ a
title of your idle capital, and let

A COMMENDABLE
ENTERPRISE
Rumored That Move is on Foot to Build
Agricultural and Mechanical College
in HidaIgo County.

As is we'll known, the Oblate
Fathers own a tract of ZOO acres
of land in Hida1go county, between
Mamie and Closner, stations on
the Har1ingen branch of the St.
L., B. & NJ. railway. THE HER
AID has learned from good author
ity that a movement is on foot for
the building of an agricultural and
mechanical college to accommodate
900 boys, by the Oblate Fathers,
where all branches of agriculture
and mechanical work will be taught
The land owned IS splendidly 10
Gated for an institution of this
character, and its establishment
would afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for the boys of this section
to obtain training that would fit
them for lives of usefulness, giving
a thorough knowledge of farming,
stock raising and other industries,
of which the average boy knows
very little.
Two crates, four dozen boxes,
constituted the first shipment of
dewberries out of Brownsville this
season, and probably the first ever
sent from this city. They went
to San Antonio and were shipped
by H. c.. StiIlwell.
The Baptist Ladies Missionary
society meets with Mrs. w. H.
Petty tomorrow afternoon. All
members urged and strangers in
vited to attend.
You can almost see the Browns
vile onion crop maturing these
warm days. The crop will not all
mature at once thus giving grow
ers a better chance at the market.
Kelly, the bean soup man, has
added to the appearance of his
premises by giving his front fence
a nice coat OF white wash. Mr..
Kelly believes in paint and white
wash, and is also a staunch advocate
of a cleaner city.
A cleaner city should be the
battle cry of every progressive citi-
zen. Also add to that a gentle re-
hinder to put a little oil in the
cisterns to keep the stegomia fas-
ciata at a safe distance. Which
means kill the mosquitoes.

COLLECTION OF THE TAXES
Rock Island Does Not Look to Meet
Any Legal Difficulty.

County Clerk II. B. Hubbard does
lot feel uneasy over the collection OF
axes in Rock Island on the 1904 levy,
wen if the legislature fails to afford
relief following the ruling by the su-
preme court. which has held that the
taxes are not collectable where the
county has neglected TO itemiZe the
purposes for which the funds are to be
expended. The opinion Of the supreme
court, which grows out of a contest
brought from VermilliOn county. has
not been received here, and until it is
the authorities will not know the exact
-equirementS of the law as interpreted
5y that tribunal. While Rock Island
county technically may be affected by
the ruling. Mr.. Hubbard says that it is
n much better shape in its levy than
the general run of the counties of the
state Here there is an itemization
under various heads for the expendi-
ture of the taxes, but If the supreme
court rules that every penny must be
accounted for and the purpose for
which it is TO be used given. Rock
Island county is in the same boat with
the rest of the counties.
