Hundreds of people in the north

Brownsville country in the fall, eth
er to invest or to improve land they
have already purchased in this sec
ton. Almost without exception these
people are regular subscribers to the
Weekly Herald, and it would surely
pay the leading land dealers as well
as other business firms all over this
section to carry an ad in the paper
Those who come to buy land will
want to know about the land bar
gains, and those who come to locate
and improve their land will want to
know where to buy their household

AFTER FOREIGN TRADE
MINISTER ISH1I ANNOUNCES
ATTITUDE OF JAPAN.

TOXIC, June 12.-Baron Ishii. in his
first speech in his new capacity vice
foreign minister. addressing joint meet
ing of the chambers of commerce. now in
session in Toxic. gave an earnest of his
attitude toward foreign trading with
japan when he warned the chambers TO
avoid antagonizng foreign trade. Minis
ter Ishii pointed out that new treaties
would be in effect in August. 1911. but
that the proposals which must be drawn
I'D by June 1909. would almost exclusive
ly be confined to the customs tariff. The
peculiar position of Japan. owing to the
persistent campaign OF Misrepresentation
of her motives. he asserted. necessitated
the most careful work in framing these
proposals.
He said that fear was already expressed
among foreign merchants that revision
would result in the creation Of prohibitive
tariffs against foreign manufactures.
Continuing Minister lshii said that the
world should be made to understand that
japan welcomed foreign trade and would
encourage IT by every fair means. He in
vfted the cooperation of the chambers
and hoped they would offer suggestions
regarding the revision of the tariff.
