THANKS FOR THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Brownsville, Texas. July 80, 1908.
Editor Herald: I desire to extend
through The Herald, my thanks to
the Brownsville Fire Department for
their kindness and promptness in
making the long run through the rain
and mud yesterday to my place. when
the house was struck with lightning
and it was supposed to be on fire. The
run was made in an extremely short
time and they undoubtedly would
have handled the fire all right, if
there had been fire.
Allow me to suggest that we should
provide them with horses for their
equipment, as Brownsville covers
such an extensive of territory that if
fire should occur in the outskirts of
town, the boys would be worn out
getting the apparatus to the fire and
would be in bad condition for fire
fighting. Suitable buildings, full
equipment and horses are an absolute
necessity to the city and the depart
ment. Thanking them again for their
promptness, / am. yours truly,
L. H. Hallam.

Mrs. E. A. Harris, Port Lavaca,

suffered from pains in the small of
my back which greatly panied me
when / stopped or attempted to lift
anything. During the night my rest
was frequently broken and woke in
the morning feeling unrefreshed I
was very tired and languid most of
the day. My kidney secretions were
also much trouble to me, as they
were fequent in action, contained
sediment and forced me to rise many
times during the night. Two boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills greatly re-
lieved me and continuation of their
use, thing will result in a complete
cure. They did me more good than
any medicine l ever tried and have
no hesitancy in recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills to others suffering from
kidney trouble

RAIN FALL WAS
TORRENTIAL
WEATHER REPORT FOR WED
NESDAY SHOWS PRECIPITA-
TION OF I.21 INCHES.
Fell Within Very Short Time-Ac-
companied by Severe lightning and
Some Wind-Preceded by Very
High Temperature for Short
Time.

1t rained yesterday afternoon in
Brownsville. 1t rained very hard. In
fact, it was one of the hardest rains
ever seen here. Although the entire
rainfall lasted only about three quar-
tiers of an hour or less, the precipita-
ton amounted to 1.21 inches. Com
ing down so hard and fast, the greater
part of the water ran off very quick
ly, but every depression about the
city was filled with water.
The rain was accompanied by a
few puffs of strong wind, but not
strong enough to do any damage.
There was also considerable thunder
and lightning, and one flash struck
a residence in the upper part of town,
that of L. H. Halam, but no material
damage resulted to the building.
One noticeable feature in connec-
ton with the rain was the intense
heat that prevailed short time pre-
ceding the storm, the thermometer
registering as high as 100 degrees for
a short time. This was quite a change
from the temperature earlier in the
day, as it registered only 90 shortly
before noon, and only rose to the max
imum a short time before four
O'Clock. The over-charged condition
of the atmosphere was doubtless re-
sponsible for the sudden and unusual
rise in the temperature.

the action Of the Democratic party
As a party the Democrats have a right
to do Just as they please. at the same
time 1t does seem that the Democrats
would have some regard for decency
On all sides the real Democratic work
ers are asking what has George Yves,
ever done that entities him to the
honor. He has never been lavish In
contributions to the campaign funds
In fact. we are told that on many
times the fund has never seen the
color of his money and that he has
never put himself out to elect any of
the Democratic nominees in wears
gone by. Furthermore, the rank and
hle are asking what has Mr.. West
ever done In any way to entitle him tn
such party honors. They cannot point
to one single accomplishment In way
OF progressiveness or advancing the
material interests of Durango and La
Plata county. Although a man of
ample means. what enterprise has he
engineered or advanced for Durango
and this county. True. Mr.. West serv-
ed as alderman-drew his pay, for
two years, but an inspection Of the city
records is invited and II any of our
readers will ascertain where George
covered himself with glory space will
be gladly given Again. the Democrat
ic nominee is such tough proposition
that the Democratic organ of La Plata
county Democracy refuses to touch him
with 30-foot pole and 1t will require
liberal greasing of the editorial pen to
secure a favorable paragraph during
the campaign. Not having any real
friends among the rank and file. with
the stockmen Of both counties a uni,
against him and those with whom he
hob-nobs saying they will
not support him. the Democratic nom.
lnee for state senator is indeed in a
hard way. About the only way out
Is FOR him to send in his resignation
and permit the Democrats of the two
counties to put up some one whose
blood circulates and who is entitled

Animas Valley
Fruit Best Ever

slux,-ls nr rba n.s.--~-
valley met last night at the Trimble
school house for the purpose of per
fecting an organization of the fruit
growers Of the valley.
There was large attendance, near
ly every grower in the valley being
present. 1t was estimated that there
were now between Ave and six thou
sand boxes OF winter apples consisting
Of first and second grades that would
soon be ready for market. This is
very fine yield of winter apples when
we consider the small acreage of ap-
pie orchards In the valley. 1t demon
strates that the Animas valley is the
most certain apple region in the Rocky
mountain district. Apples have been
grown in the valley for more than
twenty-five years and there has never
yet been a failure on account OF frost
There was considerable discussion
In the meeting along lines of mutual
interest. Among many Of the sub
jects discussed were the varieties of
apples to be planted that are most
adapted to the altitude; the effect of
the altitude upon immunity from frosts
by holding back the blossoming period,
and the effect Of the dryness of the
atmosphere when freezes occur in such
attitudes: also the purchase of nursery
stock. and the advantage Of growing
nursery stock for planting in this vi
cinity; the growing of the apples and
the advertisement OF the high flavor
and keeping qualities OF these apples
to the outside world; the extension
of the orchard area and the obtaining
of a fair price for the products.
These discussions were held by men
who have had considerable experience
In the valley, and 1t was apparent from
the discussion of these subjects that
the Wagner apple was the favorite
with most Of the people, while the
Jonathan and the Gano were advo-
Gated as second and third varieties.
~ eoOhSo " NC thc CouCcubuS vi
opinion that It was not profitable to
raise summer or fall apples for market
but that the variety should be cut
down not to exceed three or four high
class winter apples.
This matter was left to the associa,
on to take up In q further meeting
70 decide.
1t was also brought out in the dis
| cussion that the altitude OF the Ami
mas valley Is just right for the grow
ing of apples Of superior keeping
qualities and fine flavor. That the ap
pie does best in 4 cool climate and
In these mountains at an altitude ol
between $500 and 1000 feet.
The meeting was very profitable
one. SO far as getting together upor
the different questions in which the
fruit growers we're interested is con
cerned. Meeting adjourned until Wed
