nain waste and covered with
brush as it now is. Furthermore,
the policy of holding our land,
expecting the other man to settle
up the country around If, is an
absurdity-some one must sell and
it must be the man who owns the
land. Again, people who come
here to buy a home and expect to
derive a support from the soil,
cannot, generally, afford to buy
land by the thousand acres, nor do
they care to do so. We must sub
divide Our big holdings into tracts
suitable to the needs and purses of
the small farmer and truck grower.
They are the people who will make
our country if it ever fulf1ls it's
destiny as a truck aud farming
country.
From Postmaster Sharpe we
learn that he has effected an ar
rangement with the postmaster in
Matamoros whereby he will have
the mail from the other side
brought over in the morning for
the benefit of our people. 1t will
also be brought owe in the even
ing as formerly, for the benefit OF
the people of Matamoros. This is
the change suggested by THE
HERALD a few days ago and will
be quite an accommodation to oul
people. and we owe our thanks and
gratitude to Mr.. Sharpe for bring
ing it to pass.

In looking over the list of real
estate transactions recorded in the
county clerks office for the past
week, we notice that of the FIVE
transactions not one was closer. to
Brownsville than nine miles, and
the greater portion of them were
in the extreme upper end of the
county. No one will contend that
we haven't as much and as good
land around Brownsville as there
is in the county, or the world for
that matter; also we have as many
prospecters and homeseekers here
as anywhere along the St. L. B. &
NJ. The question then naturally
arises, why our land owners do not
sell some of their lands and people

RIVER SALMON
ARE PLENTIFUL

CHARLESTON. Wash, Sept 22.-Sel-
dom in the history of the Upper Snake
river have the salmon fishermen ex-
perienced such luck as they have en-
joJed the past few days. Almost a
constant run of salmon in the Snake
river mas filed each cast of their nets
and now Mr.. Worring. who is fishing
short distance below the bridge, has
over 1000 pounds of salmon he has not
disposed Of.
In past seasons the catch has usually
been consumed as fast as the salmon
could be taken from the river There
are always a large number of Indians
at the traps and fishing places waiting
for a chance to buy the salmon. This
year peddlers are out with fish and
even then the entire catch cannot be
sold There seems to be little differ
ence in the demand, as there are now a
large number of Indians buying, but
the catch is so much in excess of
usual seasons that the fishermen find
it hard to sell all of their fish
