the work and encouragement of
William Doherty.-Houston Post.
1t is not generally known that
there grows in the Brownsville
country a species of palm which is
found nowhere else in the United
States. This palm is technically
known as Sa6aL Texacana, and
there are many specimens in this
section which are perhaps more
than fifty feet high. The most not
ed of these is palm grove a few
miles below town, and is the prop
erty of Frank Rabb. Harvey c.
Stiles, horticulturist late of Cali
fornia, who is now employed along
the line of the St. L., B. & M.
railroad, heard of this grove, and
made a special visit here to see the
palms and if possible make arrange
ments to secure plants to be used
in his work of identifying various
spots on the Gulf Coast Line.
With this end in view Mr.. Stiles,
in company with Mr.. Rabb, visit
ed the palm grove yesterday return
ing in the afternoon. A HERALD
representative met Mr.. Stiles after
his return from the ranch, and
found him very enthusiastic say
ing nothing like the palm grove
could be seen in California, and
that its possession would be con-
sidered quite a treasure in many
localities. Mr.. Stiles says he wants
to secure quite a number of these
palms for parks along the railroad,
as their growing will not be a mat
ter of experiment. The palms can
be found in many parts of the
Brownsville country, but it is hard
ly likely such another magnificent
grove can be found anywhere, GER
tainly not in Texas, as the one
owned by Mr.. Rabb.

Work is going merrily forward

addition to that section of our city.

The building is no longer used as

be comfortably domiciled in their

friends hope they will enjoy the
deserved rest and comfort that
should be theirs.-Corpus Christi
