BOX BALL TOURNAMENT.

A complete change in scores and
team standing was effected last night
by the White team winning both
games from the Pink Bowling a
steady and strong game, Mr.. White
ably assisted by Miss White took the
Pinks, otherwise the Uncle Sammies,
into camp, and the White is now
leading in the contest. The high
individual score of Harry C. Smith
was also surpassed. Mr.. Smith, by
the way, sustained a painful injury
to his hand the other night and his
team, the Lavender, was compelled
to postpone its game last night
The scores last night were as fol-
lows-White 1877, 2O6; Pink. 1872,
1877. This gives the former the high
score for the team up to date.
Individual high score: Mr.. Miller,
112; Mrs. Miller 100.
Miss Anita Kowalski unofficiaIly
bowled the highest score since the
tournament began, making 115, and
together with Mr.. Spero, as a team,
bowled the highest score unoficially,
making 222

RECOVERED LOST MONEY

A happy man this morning was
Henry Nelson of Matamoros, who
through a three line notice in yes
terday's Herald, recovered the sum of
fifty dollars, Mexican money, which
he had lost on the street in this city
three days ago. The money was in
bills, and was found by DR.. J. K.
Combe on the sidewalk near the Val
DEE barbershop. There was a writ
ten memorandum pinned to the bills,
but no name to indicate the owner
The doctor therefore inserted notice
in The Herald yesterday, to notify
the loser of the money that it was
found, with the result that Mr.. Neil
son came over this morning, identi-
fed and recovered his property.
Mr. Nelson is glad he is a Herald
subscriber.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY FOR
BROWNSVILLE.

AS foretold by The Herald several
weeks ago, the receipts for box rent
and sale of stamps by the Brownsville
Dostofice for the fiscal year just end
ed, exceed $4,000. The report fol-
the past year and for the two proceed
ing years are published in today s
Herald. 1t is indeed gratifying to
TIE FerGls L point 10 this sQler u
indication of the growth which
Brownsville has achieved during the
past three years. 1t has often been
pointed out that there is no truer
barometer by which to measure the
actual business conditions of a town
than the receipts of its postofice.
Here then is the barometric record
which shows that Brownsville is en-
titled to free mail delivery, and puts
it distinctly in the class of the city
AS stated previously, it now only
remains for this city to see that its
streets are plainly marked, the houses
numbered and marked, and the town
provided with good sidewalks. Then
the postoffice department must be
notified by the citizens that the post
office receipts have reached the re-
quisite amount to entitle the city to
free delivery, and that the city has
compiled with the provisions named.
Whether the city treasury will
stand the tax of paying for the work
of numbering and marking the
houses and also marking the streets,
cannot be told. The mayor of the
city, when spoken to about the mat
Ter today, was not able to say with
out some investigation. 1t appears
probable, however, that the city is
not just now financially able to do
she work If not, however, an up
fO-date and enterprising community |
need hardly be told that it is up to |
the property owners themselves to
have the work done 1t would cost |
comparatively little to have a piece |
OF tin with a number painted on it |
nailed over ones door, and to have
q wooden sign with the name and
number of the intersecting streets
painted on it placed on the corner of
each block. The Herald has no doubt
that the matter viii be attended to at
once, and Brownsville will very soon

The taxable valuation of property
in Cameron county was increased to
nearly double it's valuation of last
year by the county commissioners,
who have been sitting as a board of
equalization during the past week.
According to the rolls as approved
finally by the board Thursday after
noon, the total valuations of land and
stock and other taxable property in
the county at present is $9,020,4 S9.
This is nearly double the valuations
for last year, being an increase of
just $4,O79, GA.
The classification of lands and val
ne placed upon each division are as
follows:
Improved Lands.
LIST class-All lands adjoining the
city or in close proximity to Browns
vile, not less than $25 per acre.
End class-All lands lying on river
front and susceptible to cultivation,
not less than IS.
3rd class-All lands which are not
at all improved but are susceptible to
cultivation, not less than S.
Unimproved Lands.
1st Class-Land running parallel
with river, and ten miles back and be-
tween the Arroyo Colorado and sus-
ceptible to cultivation, not less than
$3.50.
End Class-All lands used only for
pasturing purposes and not otherwise
not less than s125.
3rd class-AIl the lands on Padre
and Brazos Santiago and lands of
same character not less than so.
Stock Value.
The value of stock for taxation for
the current year of 1908 was placed
at not less than So per head for cat
tie, not less than SIS per head for
horses and mules, and not less than
1 per head for sheep and goats.
The rate of taxation for the pres
ent year is 81 1-2 cents on the 500, |
including both county and state. The |
new rate will be fixed probably at |
he August term of the commission
rs court,and it is thought likely that |
he rate will be lowered somewhat.
The principal increase in values
vas in the st. Louis, Brownsville G
Mexico railroad. This property was
-alued at $1,6S2,9 27, against rem
lition last year of s649,2S the val
lie per mile being s14 999 this year,
nd only $1,000 last year. This in
rease in valuation was made vol
by the company itself.
The other principal increase in
and values was in lands along the
liver front which are under irriga-
ion. The land values last year
anged from 50 to $40. but are now
laced at from 50 to $25.
