dent of Gen. P. E. Connor's
water works informs US that the
pipes from the springs, a dis.
lance of eight miles, are laid and
securely covered. For several
days past he has been supplying
Phoebe with water short dis
lance from the hospital; and last
night. March 2, 1927 water
was running through the pipes
near the large tank, in course
of erection, at the upper end
of Main street. This tank which
is 40x17 feet, will be completed
within a couple of days, when
the superintendent will proceed
to fill it with water, which will
be about 1870 feet higher than
the intersection of Main and
Meadow Valley streets.

judges say the entire ledge will
give an average assay of $3.50
per ton. The walls of this ledge
are as perfect as any that have
been seen in Nevada. The
course of the ledge is the same
as that of the Meadow Valley.
The pitch of the ledge is a little
to the south; just about the
same pitch as is found in the
Lightner shaft. Everything
about the claim, all the indica-
tions show this to be a true fis-
sure vein, and one of the richest
lodges in the district.
Attempted Murder-At about
IL o'clock Jas. Kurtz went to
Clancy & O'Rourke's saloon to
look for party, and not finding
him, turned to go out, when he
was asked to drink by one Char
ley, formerly cook for Mrs,
Hyde. Charley was intoxicated
and Kurtz asking to be excused
from drinking, passed out and
stood on the sidewalk with his
back to the door. Charley came
out with a pistol in his hand and
someone called to Kurtz to look
out, when he turned, and as he
did so Charley fired, the ball
passing through Kurtz's left
hand coat pocket, tearing a hole
in the book he usually carried,
and grazed his side in the region
OF the heart. It was a close cal
and only for the act of turning
Kurtz would have received g
fatal wound in the back. Char.
ley was Immediately arrested
AS no hard words had passed
previous to the shooting, the
supposition is that benzine'
waa the cause of the act.

Advertising scheme STONED.

A novel advertising scheme has been
tried In London England. A well.
dressed young man was standing ON
the curb at the corner of Aldwych
when suddenly letters. apparently OF
fire. made their appearance across the
back of his overcoat, and as quickly
vanished. Passersby rubbed their eyes
and stared In astonishment as the II.
iumtnatlon again came and went at ir.
regular intervals. 1t was q new de.
velopment of modern advertising, the
light being switched on from an cleo.
tric battery carried in the pocket. The
inevitable crowd gathered, with the
inevitable result--a policeman shout
dered his way to the front, and the
agent of an enterprising advertiser
had to move on.

Costumes Of British omcers,

Commissioned officers in the British
army are supposed to wear uniform
only when In barracks or ON duty. An

gagged In military duty. is supposed
to wear civilian clothes or multi.
There is no hard and fast rule laid
down by the military authorities. but
the unwritten law of good form. as
upheld by the officers themselves
makes 1t imperative ON all members
when attending private functions or
otherwise engaged in non.military
pursuits, to wear civilian clothes.

HOW TO BUILD
SEWER SYSTEM
Texas Towns Which Have Done
So at Small Cost.
Citizens Pay for Mains to Connect Resi-.
dence and City Operates System.
Citizens Credited with Amount
Expended by Them.

IF the citizens of Brownsville
will follow the example of those
of the thriving little city of Vic
toria, Texas, the question of a
sewer system for this place would
be settled satisfactorily within a
very short time. At Victoria a
company was employed to build
the sewers, the citizens each pay
ing for the construction of the
mains and connections to their
own houses, and the city paying
for the connections with the water
system, which is owned by the
city, and also building the line to
carry of the sewage. When finish
ed, the city operated the system,
and the citizens. who had been
taxed from $50 to 500 each. ac-
cording to the distance of their
houses from the nearest connec-
ton, were given credit on the
books of the city for the amount
so spent, to pay for the service.
Thus the city owned the system
when completed, without a bond
issue or mourning any debt, be-
yond the amount allowed the citi-
zens for their expenditure in ex-
tending the sewer MAINS
This explanation of the very
method by which the city
named obtained that highly i'm
portant improvement, a sewer sys-
tenn. was made to the reporter by
a prominent citizen of Victoria.
who was here recently.
The Corpus Christi Caller sew
eral days ago published an inter-
view with T. c. Bishop, formerly
mayor of Paris. Texas. in which
be related an almost exactly similar
instance at Paris, which prosper
BUS city was provided with sewers
in very much the same way as that
described at Victoria.
What other cities have done,
Brownsville can do. When it was
proposed that a water and light
company be organized at Browns
lille for the purpose of building
hose utilities here, a number of
,ur enterprising citizens subscribed
took to the amount of S25, 600 in
he proposed enterprise.
Will not the same enterprising
uen consent to assist in building a
ever system in the same way as
bove described for Brownsville!

MONDAY. MAY IL. 1908.
TIE RAILROAD DOES ITS
PART.


The St. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico railroad company has as.
Ssuredly done its part towards dew
eIoping the territory traversed by
that road. The wide advertising
which the company has given this
entire section, together with the
very low rates given to prospec-
tors, has been instrumental in
bringing thousands of h~omeseekers
10 this section. The magic growth
of the many small towns now dot
ting this region. where three years
ago, there vas not even a promise
of a town, speaks volumes for the
work which the railroad has done.
That the company must eventually
profit by the resulting development
of the country is true, of course,
sut few railroads in Texas, if any,
have ever made such strenuous eff
forts to develop their territory or
>such liberal terms to prospectors as
the Brownsville road has made.
In view of the fact that there
would be no homeseekers' exeur-
sions to Brownsville at all without
the advertising done by the rail-
roads and the very low rates made
by them, it would seem that the
people of this city should do their
part by endeavoring to check the
practice of ticket scalping, if such
practice is being carried on here as
charged by the railroad officials.
The state law against ticket scalp
ing seems to be imperative, but
garious leading cities of the state
have come to the aid of the rail-
roads by passing ordinances prohi-
<itiHg ticket scalping, which seem
% have the desired effect. Those
cities realize that the excursions
run by the various railroads of the
state benefit them, and so are will
ling to aid the roads in the way
described. If the average town is
helped by the fact of excursions
being run into it occasionally, how
Huch more is the Brownsville
country benefited by the regular
bi-monthly excursion that the
railroads have been running to this
section for the last two seasons, on
which thousands of prospectors
aud pleasure seekers have visited
here, and as a result of which hun
dreds of land sales have been made
and settlers secured for this sec
zion.
The Brownsville country would
S5e infinitely the loser if these ex-
cursions should cease now, when
che development here is only fairly
begun. But aside from selfish con-
siderations, it would only be fair
for the people here to ~reciprocate
by using their best efforts to prev
emit unfair advantage being taken
of the railroad by ticket scalpers.
Steps should be taken to put a stop
20 the practice as soon as possible.

MISS TRAIN AND
HIRE A SPECIAL
Engine Of Launch Carrying Exeursionists
Becomes Defansed in laguna
Madre and Passengers are De-
Iayed.

Because they missed the regular
train from Point Isabel to this city,
owing to a arrangement in the
gasoline engine of the launch ply
ing between the Point and Tarpon
Beach, a party of about fifteen ex-
cursionists who had spent the day
at the Beach, was forced to hire a
special train from the Rio Grande
Railroad and did not arrive here
until about one o'clock this morn
ing.
The launch worked we'll all day,
and, was on its last trip when the
| arrangement occurred. There
| were about a hundred excursionists
from this city to the Beach, and
all of them but the last boat-load
arrived at the Point in time to
catch the regular train. Captain
Collins worked like a Trojan in
mid stream, to get the engine in
operation again in time to catch
the train, but he failed to arrive at
the Point until after the regular
train had pulled out.
In the delayed party were Mr..
and Mrs. George R. Sims. NJ. H.
James, Nessrs. w. E. and K. H.
McDavitt with a party of friends;
Frank Putegnat, Tilden Howard,
H. J. Kirk, Messrs. Fairman and
others.
Hard luck seemed to pursue the
party, even after the arrival of the
special, as a freight a was de
rallied ahead of the train in the
yards at Point Isabel. and it re-
quired an hour and a half to re-
place it on the track. The train
finally left the station about II: IS
o'clock and arrived here about one
o'clock this morning.
