good yield could not be better, and
this too despite the unfavorable
weather during the month of Febru-

SO far has been damage to cabbage
plant by the rabbits. That section OF

the average small boy and the COM

majors yet found for rabbits. At any
rate, it is pomised that the truckers
will reap good harvest for their
labors.

MIR. BULLOCK RE-
TURNS HOME

W. P. Bullock, the consulting
engineer, who has been here the
past two weeks or more, attending
to the final settlement for the wat
er and light plant, left today for
his home in Kansas City.
Before leaving Mr.. Bullock ex-
pressed his confidence in the work
that has been done for the city by
Messrs. Ulen, the contractors, and
says that time will doubtless prove
to the city that good and conscien-
tious work has been done by them
Mr.. Bullock has visited the city
several times during the past
twelve months, in connection with
the water and light plant. 1t was
he who drew the plans, and he has
been employed by the city as spe-
cial consulting engineer to super
wise the work. He has made a
number Of friends On his various
visits here during this period, who
have confidence in him., and who
feel that the city may rely upon
his judgment in regard to the
work done upon the plant. His
friends here hope that he may visit
the city again, when it shall have
grown much larger, and when the
increased population may justify
the construction of a much larger
and more costly water and light
plant, for which he may draw the
plans.

CANAL COMPANY
LETS CONTRACTS
TO SET MACHINERY AND IN
TAKE GATES ON INDIANA,
COOPERATIVE CANAL.
J. G. DeBruin Gets Contract for
Concrete Work, and Norman E.
Kendall Will Set up the Massive
Machinery of the Plant.

Contracts were placed yester-
day by the Indiana Cooperative
Canal company for the construc-
ton of the immense gravity intake
gates, in the big canal which the
company is building a few miles
below Brownsville, and also for
the erection of the machinery for
the pumping plant.
The successful bidder for the
construction of the intake gates
was ]. c. DeBruin, who is an ex-
perienced hand in reinforced con-
crete work, having lately complet-
ed considerable work of this class
for the San Benito company. The
work which he is now about to be-
gin will include fifteen gravity
gates, each four by four feet,
which will feed the Indiana Co.
operative canal. These gates are
set in series of five, ten on the
bank of the river, and five thous-
and feet away. All will be i'm
bedded in steel and concrete.
The machinery contract was
awarded to Norman E. Kendall, a
well known local contractor, who
has done considerable work of this
kind in this valley. The machin-
cry is now on the ground, and the
excavation for the foundations al
ready begun. 1t is expected that
all will be completed and ready to
be put into operation within the
next ninety days.
The Herald learns from j. C.
Phillips, vice-president of the
company that this will be the larg-
est cooperative canal in operation
in the lower Rio Grande valley
Mr.. Phillips says that the power
plant will comprise a 150-horse
power boiler and a 125-herse pow
er four-valve Atlas engine, con-
nected to a thirty-inch Lawrence
double suction centrifugal pump,
and will have an easy running ca
pacity of 10000 gallons Of water
per minute and this when connect
ed with the gravity canal, which
was opened and filled some time
ago, will give a capacity of $50
second-feet. This, Mr.. Phillips
says, means over six million gal |
ons of water per hour.
The water will be measured by |
the government plan of distribu-
ton, thus making it one of the most |
systems that could be |
devised.

MIR. BROKAW RETURNS
FROM KANSAS CITY.
Waterbound for Weeks by Che
Floods = More People than
Ever Coming to Browns
vile Next Fall.

A. c. Brokaw has returned from
Kansas City, where he went re-
Gently with Mrs. Brokaw for the
purpose of buying theIfurpishings
for their beautiful home on Wash
ington street. Mrs. Brokaw did not
accompany Mr.. Brokaw home,
having gone to visit her sister in
Denver before returning home.
Mr. Brokaw rports quite a bad
state of affairs in the vicinity of
Kansas City an dother points in
Northern Missouri, as well as
throughout Oklahoma, on ac-
count of the foods. He says it
was impossible for weeks to buy a
railroad ticket south from Kansas
City, as the railroads were unable
to operate trains on account of the
floods having damaged tracks<and
bridges. While they were in Kan
sas City, considerable part of the
city, including the stock yards,
was inundated by the overflow
from the river, and the water even
stood in the Central railroad sta
ton in the city.
Mr.. Brokaw says that there will
be more people than ever coming
to Brownsville next fall, as all
over the sections he has visited
people are interested in the prom
ised land of the lower Rio Grande
valley, and express their. intention
of coming here.
"By all means, the people of
Brownsville should lose no time in
erecting a large and up-to-date
hotel to accommodate the thous-
ands who will be focking here all
winter long" said Mr.. Brokaw.

NEW ROOSEVELT IDEA.

Mr.. Roosevelt is nothing il. not
original. He has conceived the
idea that, after his successor is
duly inaugurated on the next
March 4th, he (Mr. Roosevelt) will
not comply with the time-honored
custom of accompanying the new
president from the Capitol to the
White House, but instead will eff
face himself from the scene i'm
mediately; leaving the former
building to take the first train out
of Washington for Oyster Bay No
doubt, the idea of the retiring
president is based upon purely
unselfish reasons, but to an impair
tial observer, it would appear bet
ter for him to comply with the
custom which has been observed
by the many great presidents
that have served the people before
him. The act of the retiring
president in escorting his success
sor to the White House after the
Inauguration appears in the light
of a courtesy, shown'by the form
.er to the latter, and its omission
by Mr.. Roosevelt will appear odd,
TO say the least.

any defects in the plant during
the period of one year, and that
the contractors had made arrange
ments with the Brownsville Flee.
tric and Plumbing company to
keep the water mains in good con-
dition for one year.
1t was moved and seconded that
the city accept the plant on the
terms recommended by the com
mittee, which was carried unani-
mously.
The council expressed entire
satisfaction with the way in which
the engineer, Mr.. Dutch, who rep
resented the contractors in the
construction of the plant, had
handled the situation, and extend
ed hearty thanks to both Mr..
Dutch and Mr.. Ulen for the pa
thence which they have shown.
"A number of minor bills came
up for consideration, among them
being that of W. P. Bullock, the
consulting engineer, for 81, 1850
as payment in full of his account
for services rendered in connec-
ton with the supervision of the
construction of the plant, which
was ordered paid.
At the conclusion of the foregO-
ing business, the council received
a petition from residents in the
Fourth Ward requesting the cree
ton of more are lights in that
ward, which was presented by
w. F. bennett. The mayor as
sured Mr.. bennett that, as soon as
it was practicable, more lights
would be placed in the said ward.
Cost of the Plant.
This concludes the trying or
deal which the city has endured
for the past two months or more,
while the question of whether the
plant had been built according to
contract, and whether the city
was getting what it was paying
for, together with the many other
matters of delay and
INDIGESTION, have disturbed the
peace of mind of many Of the citi-
zenS, as well as the members of
the city council.
AS it is settled, the plant has
cost the city $64,499. The origin
Il contract price was $65, $40,
which makes the contractors lose
81 Al on the original contract.
This does not include the amount |
which the city has paid the consult |
ng engineer, Mr.. Bullock, who |
las received $2,7S8.5O Tor his ser
ices in experimenting the con-
ract.
The results appear to be salts
actory. The council is convinced |
hat the city has gotten a good
liant, and the agreement of the
contractors to give bond to in
ure the city against defects for
ne year is sufficient guarantee
hat they have confidence in their
wn work.

Tuesday Sheriff Sprague took the young

have been afraid of him and children
were afraid to go and come from school.
Several times steps have been taken by
the neighbors to have him cared for, but,
hoping he might be better, it has been
put off till now. The young man, who is
about 80 years old, is an object of pity,
and it is hoped by all who know the cir

that he will be better cared for and more
comfortable at Waterbury than here
roaming over the hills, sleeping in barns
with scant food and clothing.
