co systems. and J.. A. Stewart, gener-
al agent of the passenger department
at Kansas City. have returned from
a trip to Brownsville, the southern
terminus of the line and the souther-
most point of Texas. 1t Is the inten-
ton OF the Rock Island to put into
effect colonist rates and start immi-
grafton into that country within the
next sixty days. The Houston branch
of the Brownsville line will be com
pleted within a few days. Over the
Eastern Texas Central the Rock Is
land will have lines to Houston. The
Brownsville line is a YOakum proper
ty and these lines will give the Rock
Island direct lines into this corner Of
Texas.
1T is the greatest section OF unde.
veloped country In the world" said
Mr.. Stewart. THE climate is tropi-
cal and almost anything will grow
there. In a year there are about
tw~entysseven inches of rainfall. but
the people do not have to depend en-
tirely upon that. An artesian flow can
be reached at a depth of about ninety
feet. This can be used for irrigating
purposes. Cotton grows abundantly,
but this section Is believed to be best
adapted for truck gardening. The
land will. for the most part, be divid-
ed into forty and eighty acre tracts,
While I was there the orange trees
were In bloom. II was uncomfortably
warm after going from a northern
climate. but the heat Is never oppres-
sive there because 1t ia 80 near the
gulf. Land there Is selling for about
$25 an acre. Much Of the land Is
covered with mesquite and cactus. but
when this Is cleared away the land is
remarkably fertile. The mesquite can
be sold for firewood for a sufficient
amount to pay for clearing the land. :
Mr.. Sebastian's trip into this terri.
tory was to get acquainted with the
exact conditions of the country before
the advertising Of the opening OF the
country. Brownsville. the southern
terminus Of this Yoakum property, is
the most southern point Of the United
States.
