on one occasion to give a meal of

extraordinary banquet willingly al

rare, as she always said the cam

face. Her clear, cold eyes possessed
an attraction that never could be put

"Ouida's nom de plume, with its
strange photography, has provoked
any amount of curiosity as to its
origin. The fact is that tiny pratt

NCuL during tut past lew years HAS
been one of the surprising features of
United States expansion, Is to cele-
brate with an exposition next year in
order that this country and the world
at large may be given the opportunity
OF learning something of the advance
mont which the far northern terri
tory has been making along industrial,
commercial and agricultural lines.
When the suggestion was first made
of holding an Alaskan exposition, it
was realized that it would be almost
impossible to hold ii in Alaska. and
what was more natural than that Seat
tie, the gateway to the territory,
should be suggested as the place for
holding such show.
For two or three years the matter
has been discussed and plans have
been in the making, and all this has
| finally resulted in definite work being
| begun. Last month the actual con.
| structou OF some Of the buildings was
begun The first structure to be erect
! ed will be the administration building.
In this structure viii be located all
Offices and from which place the Off
! GERS OF the exposition viii direct the
! work Of construction and preparation
! Of the exposition. The building Will
| be l0i feet by GO feet, two stories

IN CHARGE OF THE
BORDER INSPECTORS
Frank W. Bershire of Illinois Gets thu
Appointments Expected to Visit
Brownsville Shortly.

According to unofficial adyices,
the information being obtained
through press kilograms, Frank w.
Berkshire, an Illinois man now sta
toned in New York City, will be
sent to Texas in connection with
the border immigration service.
He is to be made inspector in
charge of the mounted inspectors
now patrolling the Mexican bor-
ders, aud probably will have head
quarters at Eagle Pass.
The new position will pay $4,000
year. Mr.. Berkshire has been in
the immigration service for twelve
years. being an appointee under
the Cleveland administration. His
promotion, which carries an ap-
preciable increase in salary, is the
result of merit alone, as he is a
Democrat, and in political respects
does not harmonic with the adj
ministration. San Antonio Ex-
press.
Mr.. Berkshire was for a number
of years in charge of the inspection
of Chinese immigrants in the state
of New York. Fred E. Lawton,
now inspector in charge at Browns
vile, was assistant inspector under
Mr.. Berkshire during 1904 and
1905 and knows him well. He is
much pleased to learn of his former
chiefs promotion and also that Mr..
Berkshire is to be in charge of the
inspection service on this border.
1t is expected that Mr.. Berkshire
will visit Brownsville shortly.

THE city dads are quite right II
wanting to find out exactly where
we are at" before issuing the
call for the bond election, as we
cannot afford to make any blum
ders in this highly important matter
which might invalidate the results
of the proposed election. But, IN
view of the exceeding importance
of securing the proposed utilities
without the least unnecessary loss
of time, and the growing impa-
thence of our people at any furth-
er delay in the realization of their
hopes, it is sincerely to be hoped
that the city dads may lose no time
in making the necessary investiga'
tions. This is no time for any
mafana business, and the people
want to see the committee get to
work and perform its appointed
duties today.

TUESDAY, MAY Is, 1907

WITHOUT any fuss or furry, but
with telling effect, the San Anto-
MO Express of Sunday, May 20,
publishes a special 'write-up" of
Southwest Texas. including the
leading resources and industrial
features of the counties and lead
ing towns of all this vast and rich
ly endowed section, with San An
tonic as its metropolis, which
embodies very large amount OF
valuable information on the subject.
The Express had wide field from
which to gather material, and, as
the bee sucks the honey from the
blossoms of widely separated trees,
so has the Express drawn from
each part of this vast territory the
most valuable and interesting facts
relative to each respective town
and county. With the widespread
and rapidly growing interest mani
tested in this section, this edition
of the Express is sure to be IN
great demand. Its article on the
sugar industry at Brownsville and
other articles on leading resources
of this particular section are OF
especial value and should be high
ly appreciated by all who are in
terested in the development of the
lower Rio Grande country.

WITH three big canals building
from the Rio Grande towards the
railroad between Brownsville and
Santa Maria, and another few
miles below town just about start
iug, it is easy to. foresee what a
tremendous development is under
way in this favored region at pres
,ent. These canals will irrigate be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 acres OF
this rich valley land and by the
time another year has passed, the
lower Rio Grande valley will in
deed blossom as the rose"
