The final success of the great mer-
ger of the Mexican Central and Ma
tional Line of Mexico is announced in
recent press dispach from Mexico,
published in the Houstoa Post Ac
cording to this report. which bears
the ear-marks of authenticity, the f.
nancial agents representing the trust
companies and bankers that are hand
ling the scheme have announced that
negotiations have now reached such Il
stage as to enable them to put the
merger in operation, which will be
done not later than Januacy 1st. the
two great railroad systems to be op-
Grated as one under the corporate
name OF the Nationa ssyGtA'n of Mex-
leo.
Further information regarding the
plan and general modus operandi of
the enterprise is as follows:
The financial department, which
was created by consent of the govern
ment and railroad interests in the two
chartered companies whose interest
will be affected by the consolidation,
have now arranged for the deposit of
all classes of securities called for un-
der the terms of the merger plan.
The holdings of the Mexican Cen
trail Securities company of London,
together with the various holdings,
are ample to make the plan operative
by date named, as the values of the
securities have been agreed to under
the readjustment of the public issue
of tn 4 u per cent and 4 per cent
bonds of the new company on the New
York and European exchanges.
The proposed plan of creating ex-
ecutive and operating departments
has practically been decided upon. but
publication withheld until within
thirty days of the date upon which
the plan becomes effective.
The executive Craftsmanship of the
merger property will be in the hands
of Mr. E. n. Brown, and it is under
stood that the whole system will be
divided into four sections, known as
Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and
Southwest, with Mr., A. Clark as vice
president in control of operation and
maintenance, with four general man
ayers in charge of the sections.
The official corps who will assume
control have also been decided upon
by the selection of two transportation
officials from the ranks of the Ma
tional-C entral-men of transporta-
ton and construction experience. The
third will come from Texas-one who
has wide experience and who has
but recently completed one of the
most important lines touching from
the gulf to the border and forming
connection with the Mexican Nation
al; and the fourth is an active and
wide-awake man familiar with ship
ping and harbors and who is now in
charge of one of the Vera Cruz lines.
The traffic and accounting depart
ments are now under consideration,
but nothing definite has yet been de-
cided upon in this direction.
Tit is believed in Texas railroad
circles that eff N. Miller, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Brownsville road, with which he has
achieved such signal success, is the
Texas man referred to in the forego-
ing.]

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1908

The great work that President
Roosevelt has done in behalf of for
est preservation was of piece with
the recent move which was made by
him in behalf of the feathered kind,
he having set aside as bird reserva-
lions two large tracts of land situated
in Oregon and California respective
Iy which are to be protected from the
depredations of man, the birds worst
enemy. Almost 900 square miles
off land that is most thickly inhabit-
ed by water fowl are included in
these reservations, and the National
Association of Audubon societies are
to have the care of these bird lands.
Some bird species have been almost
entirely exterminated by huntsmen
in these sections and the action of the
government in behalf of the birds is
indeed timely.

Another impecHnious Englishman
has connected with an American for
tune, in the person of Maldwin a
Drummond, who was married the
other day to the widow of the unfor-
tunate Marshall Field, jr., who shot
himself accidentally while cleaning
his gun in Chicago three years ago.
1t should be added to the inscription
on his monument that, after all, he
did not live and die in vain, since his
millions go towards rehabilitating the
fallen fortunes of a scion of the
British aristocracy.

THREE GAMES FOR
BROWNSVILLE BOYS
McAIlen Team Did Some Good Work,
But Was Entirely Outclassed.

The match with the McAllen base
ball aggregation was easy money for
the Brownsville boys in the three
games played here Saturday and Sun
day In the game, Saturday after
noon Ferguson's twisters were too
much for the visitors and it seemed
impossible for them to get on to them
Only one measley hit was made of
Ferguson during the game. Bell was
stick. Out OF i've times at the bat
Bell swatted out two two-sackers and
three singles. Edison was also there
when it came to batting, securing
two two-baggers also, while Cobo-
lini raped out one. Fergusol's Wild
! throw to Edison gave the visitors
their only score. The fielding of both
teams was excellent. The McAllen in
| field was almost perfect. Carpenter,
tn twirler for the visitors was Just as
easy as the prehistoric prcverb,
Gust as easy as taking candy from
baby" The home boys landed on
him at will. C. o. A. Maule, GrueaD
and F. W. Maule did the best work
for the visitors, c. o. A. Maule max
ing a two-base hit, the only hit made

The games Sunday morning and af-
ternoon were largely a REPETITION of
Saturdays game McAllen could not
at any time make it even interesting
for the locals. The curves of Fergu-
son and Cobolini were too much for
them, while Carpenter and Kerr were
easy for Brownsville. Following is
the score for the morning game:
