FRIDAY. JULY 5, 1907
Trip to Growing Brownsville.

d. P. Fielder, representing the
Texas Stockman and Farmer, who
visited Brownsville recently, gives
the following account of his visit
In that Journal:
We have been spending few
days in this city and Cameron coun-
ty. Brownsville is located on the
Rio Grande, and has a population
of 5000, only 20 per cent is Amer
lean, the balance being Spanish and
Mexicans. The old historic town of
Matamoros is located on the op-
posite side of the river, in old Mex
leo, and has about 5000 or 10000
inhabitants. Years ago it was a
great commercial center and had
much larger population. Browns
willie has two National banks and
one private bank. They are all do
ing a good business, having large
territory to draw from.
We can give only partial list of
the business houses, as our time
was limited. McDavitt & Bros. do
a large commission business. They
handle all kinds of vegetables and
grain. They are not only shippers
out growers. The Brownsville Gro
Gerry Co. have a large stock of gro
.ceries, and do a wholesale and re-
tail business. R. H. McDavitt is
the manager. He is the right man
IA the right place. The Brownsville
Transfer Co. is under the able
management of L. Champion. He
also conducts feed and sale stable.
You will always find him on hand
to attend to your wants. Coleman
& Lindsey are agents for San Be
uito Land & Water Co. They are
men of integrity and will attend to
all business intrusted to their care
with dispatch. The Metropolitan
restaurant is open day and night.
If you want something good to eat
stop with the proprietor of the
Metropolitan. He has cool rooms
well furnished.
James N. Kilgore, late of Lodi,
Cal, has located at Mercedes. Tex
as, and is planting FIVE hundred
acres in grapes.
While at Brownsville I met T.
I. Hooks. He has the irrigation
farm at Run. Has 500 or 900 acres
of good land under irrigation.
There was raised this year on this
farm twenty-five acres of onions,
producing twenty thousand pounds
per acre. There were shipped out
from Donna, the nearest railroad
station, twenty-three cars Of onions.
There were twenty-five acres Of
cucumbers, which yielded $50 bash
els per acre, and sold readily at
railroad station,at S1.50 per bushel,
bringing in round numbers S9375.
Corn will average fifty bushels pei
acre. From this farm was shipped
the first bale of cotton from Texas.
and likely the first bale il the Unit
ed States. This farm is forty-fvt
miles west of Brownsville, in Hi
daigo county.
S. c. Moore is the proprietor o.
the Miller hotel in Brownsville
His house is always full and he
runs a first class place.
The St. Louis, Brownsville s
Mexico railway is doing grea
work in advel Using this part o

omen of the Wedding Ring

At the close of a recent divorce case
a woman spectator remarked:
81 knew they wouldn't pull together
very long. The crease made by heI.
wedding ring proved that. When she
had been married six months | saw
her take her ring off one day The
mark it had left was SO faint you could
hardly see it. You can always gauge
the length of a marriage by the impress
sion made by the wedding ring. In
some cases the ring, even though en-
tirely too large, sinks away into the
finger. Such 4 mark as that indicates
marriage as lasting as eternity. 9th
er women may wear 4 ring as tight
as the skin, yet it will leave scarcely a
streak on the flesh. In that case look
out for an early termination Of the con-
tract
The other women present said moth
ing, but all improved the first oppor-
tunity to slip their rings around and
inspect the telltale mark. The faces
of some wore an expression of salts
faction, others Of disappointment, but
nobody knew the reason therefor

LARGE LAND BUSINESS.

ST. Paul.-During the last ten years
the land business of the state of Min
nesota has more than trebled, and the
total volume of the financial transac-
tons OF the state have nearly doubled.
This is demonstrated by surprising
statistics prepared by Samuel G. Iver-
son. state auditor, relative to the bust
ness of his Office. For the two years
ending July 81, 1896, the end of the
fiscal year, the total accumulation from
state lands and credited to the differ
ent trust funds, was s737.S94.65; for
the two years ending July 81 1906, it
was s2,239. 3O5.82
For the two years ending July 81,
1896, the total cash received was $10,-
909.S12.23 and the total amount dis
bursed during the period was S10,539,-
ISL. For the two years ending July 81,
1906, the total amount received was
s19.651,114.07, the total amount dis
bursed, was $19.5O7, 532.62.
Since the formation Of its state gov
eminent, Minnesota has never gone
through a year without having bal
ance to the states credit at the end OF
the year. In 1860 this record came near
being broken, as the balance at the end
OF the year was only s67s.7S. The year
1899 was the one when the state came
out with the largest balance ever
shown by the auditors ledger Ex-
elusive of money carried over from the
previous year. it then totaled $2,607,-
