PROTECT THE BEET SUGAR.
]. B. Case to Help Fight Admission
of Philippine Sugar.

I .
J. B. Case, president Of the Trans
Mississippi congress, is preparing to
60 to Washington to work before the
house and senate in opposition to the
proposed Legislation admitting Philip
pine sugar to the United States free
Of duty. The ans-Mississippi con-
gress, at its recent session at Musko-
gee, passed a resolution declaring
against free Philippine sugar, on the
theory that it would destroy the beet
sugar industry which is being built
up in the west. Mr.. Case and the
members Of the legislative committee
of the Trans-M Mississippi congress, will
do everything possible at Washington
to unite the members Of the national
congress from Western states in OPP
position to the proposed change in the
tariff schedule on sugar. A particu-
lar effort will be made to organize the
members from Kansas, Colorado and
Nebraska against the bill, as each Of
these states is producer of sugar.
Mr.. Case says that it csn be demon
strated that the admission of beet
sugar from the Philippines free Of
duty will seriously cripple the grow
ing sugar beet industry in Western
Kansas and will probably operate to
prevent the operation Of two or three
new relineries similar to the million
dollar plant recently erected at Gar
den City. He hopes to have a meet
ing Of the Kansas congressional dele
cation to consider the matter i'm
nediately after his arrival in Wash
ngton.

DEEP WATER
FOR BROWNSVILLE
Might Be Obtained at COmpar-
ativeIy Small Cost.
Dr.. Taylor Explains Feasibility Of
Deepening Bar at the MOuthSt Rio
Grande, as Well as at BrazOs
Santiago Pass.

DR.. H. w. Taylor of this city,
who went to Houston as delegate
to the waterways convention, IN
conversation with a Post reporter
concerning the interest of this
place in the waterways project.
informed the reporter how easily
aud at what comparatively small
cost deep water could be secured
for Brownsville:
The bar at the mouth of the
Rio Grande river is about half a
mile across. The water on this
bar is from six to eight feet deep.
Then there is the narrow bar at
Santiago deBrazos, about 100 yards
across, and the water on this IS
eight to ten feet. Some years ago,
he stated, an engineer, after look
ing into the situation, gave 1t as
his opinion that Brownsville would
have deep water with a govern
ment appropriation of $50, 900.
This money, he stated, could be
expended almost wholly on
system of jetties, the current being
such. as to keep the channel clear.
| The Mexican government is ex-
pected to do something toward the
work, he stated. President Diaz
has become greatly interested II
Matamoros, and that has beer
made an important military point
In fact, the Mexican government
is now locking into the matter o
! rebuilding or retaining Matamo
ros. This city had a population
once upon a time of 5000 people
while Brownsville had a population
of $500. In fact, Brownsville
and Matamoros were two of tn
largest cities of the Southwest
Owing to the lack of railwa
facilities, however, these town
o went backward. They are nov
Y coming to the front and tits ez
i pected by those who have locke
d into their geographical situation
n conjunction with the deep waite
- prospects that they will again b
among the leading cities of til
Southwest.

4 GREAT ENTERPRISE.


Time and again, during its more
than fifteen years existence, THE
HERALD las predicted that the
ideal seaside resort on the Gulf
coast would some day be located
on the lower waters of Laguna
Madre, situated just % miles east
of Brownsville by rail. This pre-
diction is at last about to be full
6lfed through the efforts of the
Padre Island Development Com
Dany, which, under the direction
of its president, Mr.. Geo. r. Sims,
has fairly launched an enterprise
which will result in the develop
anent of a first class seaside resort
on the lower end of Padre Island,
zying just across Laguna Madre
from Point Isabel and abutting
upon the pass of Brazos Santiago.
Here a bounteous Providence has
furnished with lavish hand all the
materials requisite for the eStab-
Eishment of one of the finest resorts
In the whole country, the leading
resorts of the Florida and Cali
fornia coasts not excepted. 1t
only needs capital and enterprise
under intelligent direction to make
of Tarpon Beach all that is pre-
ydicted. and that is now furnished
SbY Mr.. Sims and his associates.
Hence the early fulfllment of THE
HERALD's predictions may be con-
hdentiy expected. This is an event
on which the entire Brownsville
country should congratulate itself,
as the development of such resort,
which will be one of the very few
all the year around resorts of the
entire United States, will be the
means of bringing an immense
amount of travel to this place OF
wealthy people from all over the
country, and will contribute most
materially to the advancement of
Brownsville.
The wide scope of the enterprise
of the company referred to may be
learned from the page advertise
11ent which it has in today's issue
of THE HERALD. A perusal of this
ad will enlighten readers of THE
HERALD as to the great possibilities
of this enterprise and post them as
90 what may be expected from the
company which has undertaken it.
Fn addition to its liberal invest
sruent in HERALD space, the COM
oany is also distributing some un-
usually handsome and attractive
advertising literature in the shape
of pamphlet printed in colors and
illustrated with half tone cuts
which has for its front page beat
