From the Advance. Jan. %.
The acreage of sugar cane at the
San Juan Plantation will be doub-
led this coming season. The full
force is engaged in clearing ground
and planting cane.
Mr.. Thos. p. Cove has been out
at Ebenezer for some days past as
sisting in laying of the town site.
Mr.. Hester is building a fine
frame residence at Asadores, near
Run Postofice, which will soon be
completed. A large settlement of
new corners is formed down in that
neighborhood, and in a short time
Run and Asadores will be flourish

tural Co.'S. plantation, and every
available man, woman and child is
being pressed into service setting
out the plants.
There is an agent now stationed
at McAllen, and freight and ex-
press matter can he billed to that
point, which is a great convenience
TO the merchants and citizens of
Hidalgo and vicinity.
1t sounds strange to hear a man
say / think I'll take a run down
to Brownsville and back, tomor-
row." But he actually does it, and
has about three hours to attend TO
business while down there.
The monument erected by the
Woodmcn of the World TO the
memory of Soy. William Schunior,
is now in place, and the body of
the deceased was removed from the
Chavez vault in the cemetery,
where it was placed temporarily.
The remains were removed last
Monday, under the direction of Hi
dalgo Camp w. o. w. and the inn
pressive burial services of the order
were conducted by Consul Com
mander A.. +. Chavez, and the SOW
ereigns of the order. 1
Sow. Schunior was a member of
Acacia Camp of Brownsville, at
the time of his demise, and the UNI
yelling of the monument will be
under the direction of that camp.
II is expected that a date will be
set soon. and then all of our peo-
pie will have the opportunity of
witnessing the solemn and impress
sive ceremony.

INTER-COASTAL CANAL.
Congressman Garner Thinks the Rivers
and Harbors Bill Will Contain APP
preparation for the Survey.
Victoria Advocate. ]

Mayor L. A. Fritz has received
letters from Senator Culberson and
Congressman Burgess and Garner
in reply TO the resolutions passed
by the city council thanking them
for the interest they are displaying
in the intercoastal canal matter.
Senator Culberson's and Congress
man Burgess Acknowledgements
were brief. Congressman Garner 5
reply follows:
Il have the honor to acknowl-
edge receipt of the resolutions of
your city council. bearing date of
Dec. 10, 1904. Responding, wish
to thank you most gratefully for
your interest in the intercoastal
canal matter, as well as for the
kind expressions concerning Sen
ator Culberson, Congressman Bur
CESS and myself. This character of
resolutions not only assists in
molding public opinion, but en-
courages the representatives who
are trying to promote the matter
70 redouble their energies. l have
given the Inter-coastal Canal sub
ject some little study, having de-
voted almost my entire time in the
last session of this congress to
that subject, and ] am pleased TO
say that believe the sentiment of
the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee, as well as a good portion OF
congress, is in favor of this great
work. Few people, al first glance,
fully realize the great Importance
OF this inland waterway; however,
when one realizes that with the
completion of an intercoastal canal
such as we are working for, you
can load coal and iron at Pittsburg
and transport it by water to the
mouth of the Rio Grande without
reloading, and likewise -four from
Minnesota, he can then gather
smattering idea of the great econ
omic value of this project. am
convinced that when a rivers and
harbors bill is passed it will con-
tain an appropriation for the sur
vey of this canal. "

T. Y. Elton on his 256 acre
place on the river cultivated about
lao acres and this year gathered
81 bales of cotton. On between so
and 90 acres of this land there is
pecan timber and from this timber
this year he gathered 21,225
pounds of pecans which were sold
for S150l.50. Thus it is seen at
the present price of cotton the
pecan crop brought Mr.. Elton
more money than the cotton crop
and part of the cotton grew on the
pecan land.

was this. As every one knows, Virginia

There were no elections in the negro coun-

The Valley of Virginia.

The Valley Of Virginia is ono OF the
richest and most desira Bile sections OF THIS
state. It's lands are fertile Its towns
arc thrifty: It's people are educated and
progressive. But the citizens OF that re-
gion are In great measure cut OH ana
separated from the rest OF the State
and constitute a sort Of community unto
themselves.
They read newspapers from other
states and trade with the cities Of other
States and are by no means as thorough
ly Identified as they should be with
their fellow citizens in other parts or
Virginia. It is from no desire on their
part that this state OF things exists for
the Valley people are loyal Virglnians
and gave abundant evidence Of the fact
in the late war between the States.
But they have convenient facilities OF
communication with Washington, Balti-
more and other Northern cities and
they have inconvcnient facilities Of COM.
munication with Richmond and other
Virginia cities Time and again has The
Times Dispatch called attention to this
deplorable condition, and the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Is now doing its part
toward giving a better schedule We
hope the people In the Valley will join
with us in our efforts to bring them into
closer communication with Richmond.
we cordially invite them to turn their
attention in this direction. to visit Rich
mond oftener, to trade with Richmond
and establish thoroughly cordial rcla-
tionship with Richmond. We believe that
they Will find such q relationship both
agreeable and profitable.

The Mayors Veto.

AS the members of the Council who Ia
vor the Mills plan Of annexation were not
able last night to muster q sufficient
number Of votes to pass the Mills orcl-a
nance over the Mayors veto. They
threw precedent to the minds and laid
the whole matter aside until the next
meeting.
The Mayor gives, ten reasons for re-
turning the Mills ordinance without his
signature and they are sufficient. lie
points out in detail the defects in the
Mills pan-that it does not take IN
enough territory and will not accomplish
in any degree the particular benefits natu-
rally to be expected from an extension
OF the corporate limits; that the pro-
posed lines have not been surveyed or
considered with reference to the engineer
ing questions which the proposed addi-
tions raised, nor have the sanitary Ques-
tions involved been seriously considered.
He is unwilling to give his assent to q
proposal so important which has not
had the careful consideration of the City
Engineer, and finally he says that as the
a ADOPTION III lNlS -llIue VI any SCHSIis "
annexation would in all probability delay
for years any further discussion of the
question of extension, it is incumbent
upon all connected with the matter to see
that every essential is included in the
movement and that every serious defect
Is corrected
The Mayor is right. The Mills plan is
to be condemned and rejected for its de-
fccts and for omissions, for It's faults OF
construction and especially for It's failure
to take in sufficient territory to meet the
demands for residence and factory sites
and to give as n wcll-proportioned city.
1t is utterly inadequate to the require
ments of this progressive. rapidly ex-
panding city, and the Mayor who is a
progressive. .fsf.seeIrg city official has
done a public service in vetoing 1t and
the veto should by all means be sus-
tanned.

Mr.. Cannon cited the Constitution,
which appears to make 1t very plain that
Immediate action Is contemplated
Mr.. Cannon also read tho following ex-
tract from section 1913 OF the Code:

It becomes operative, DO presented 10

Mr.. Mills thought tho Council should
have time to consider the various Ie ca.
sons offered BY the Mayor. and he IN
sisted upon his motion.
Mr.. Pollock spoke for his point OF or
der He said the remarkable proposl-
ton offered by Mr.. Mills allowed q pare
ma iorty to do exactly what the con-
stitution plainly says It shall require
two thirds to do. 1
Mr. Pollock charged that M Alllls
had counted noses and found that several
Of his friends were absent. II they were
here, he would not ask for a postpone
ment.

ton. and said the Council should not DC
