GENEROUS DONATION TO
THE BASEBALL CLUB
Col. Haywood Congratulates Team on
Fine Showing Made in Contest
With Bay City.

Enclosing a check for the sum OF
s25 for the Brownsville Baseball
Club, Col. Alba Haywood of San Be
nito writes to J. L. Cobolini of the
club, extending hearty congratula-
lions upon the excellent showing
made by the local team in the recent
contest with Bay City's crack team,
in which, though losing the series,
yet the home team actually scored
more runs than did the Bay City ag-
gregation. The colonel writes as
follows:
81 heartily congratulate you on
winning even one game against so
excellent a team. l was more than
pleased with what l saw Sunday,
even though you were beaten.
you
The club is very highly gratified
Brownsville should be very proud of
on account of this generous express
sion of approval from Col. Haywood
and wishes The Herald to express the
high appreciation of every member of
the generous gift as well as of the
kind words of encouragement from
so high a source.

WOULD HURT BROWNS
VILE.

So far the committee having
charge OF the work of soliciting mem
bers for the Lower Rio Grande Val
lev Commercial club has not secured
nearly as many members as are con-
sidered necessary to properly main
tain the club. This is discouraging,
but it may be due to the fact that
other interests have crowded this
out Of its due place. 1t can hardly be
possible that the citizens of Browns
vile do not realize the Importance
of keeping alive so useful an orgahi-
cation as this club. 1t would be a
sad commentary indeed upon
Brownsville's progressiveness, should
her people refuse their support to
this club, comprising at is does the
leading men of the entire valley, and
maintaining its club room and
splendid exhibit in our city. 1t should
be remembered that, in the event
the club is not continued. Browns
vile will lose a great deal of valua-
BILE advertising. which it now gains
from the news letters relative to the
development and resources of this
town and section which are being
sent out by the able secretary of the
club to various trade journals and
newspapers all over the country. The
town would undoubtedly be hurt,
should it lose this institution
Among other important reasons
why Brownsville should come to the
support of the club is that the sec
rotary of the club has planned to go
to St. Paul, Mimi, next month to
attend the great convention of the
National Editorial association, of
which he is a member, it being his
intention to make an address to the
convention upon the many advant-
ages of the Brownsville country, and
TO invite the association to hold its
next convention here. While, of
course, it is hardly to be hoped that
such a large and important body
could hold its convention in a place
no larger than Brownsville is at pres
ent, yet the fact of such an invita-
ton being rendered, accompanied by
an appropriate address, will have the
effect of attracting attention to the
town. and advertising this section.
Publicity is what all towns in the
entire country are striving after, and
Brownsville should get all she can
herself. Publicity is worth money and
that is what the lower Rio Grande
is getting through the efforts of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley CONNER
cial club.
Join the commercial club and work
for the up-building of Brownsville
and the entire lower Rio Grande Val
ley.

HEATHER
ADVERTISED.

The lately installed local weather
bureau station at Brownsville is now
in regular operation. Beginning to-
day, bulletins of the meteorological
conditions here will be telegraphed
twice day to the station at New Or
leans, from whence the bulletins viii
be wired all over the country. Thus
the daily temperature of this section
will now be published with the list
of weather stations in all leading pa
pers of the United States and
Brownsville will have place on the
weather map, and meteorological con-
ditions here portrayed as in other
sections.
While this will be quite an advant-
age, as it will give Brownsville great
publicity, yet, it is not going to be
nearly so great an advantage during
summer as during the winter. Even
now, it is true, the daily maximum
temperature here is often much low
er then in other places in the country
which is the more remarkable, when
it is considered that Brownsville is
the most southern town on the entire
mainland of the United States, but
when the mild temperature which
prevails here during the winter is adj
vertised day after day, when our
northern friends are shivering with
the cold, it is going to be great
thing for the Brownsville country.
The Herald feels that the citizens
here should give thanks to Congress
man Garner for his efforts in obtain
ing the establishment of the weather
station here Messrs. Cockley and
Luck, the indefatigable real estate
agents of ST. Louis, who are doing
their utmost to promote the develop
ment of the Brownsville country, also
deserve credit 70 rthe part they have
played in assisting to the same end.
The Herald has repeatedly in the past
urged that this place should have a
regular local weather station, and
it feels that Brownsville is to be con-
graduated upon its success in finally
securing the recognition fthe gov
eminent officials.
The representative of the weather
bureau, who came down to establish
the service here, states that the de-
partment was convinced that the
growing agricultural Importance of
this section entitled Brownsville to
the service. which goes to show that
the wonderful development now in
progress in the Lever Rio Grande
Valley is rapidly pushing this section
to the front.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1908-07-29

Hundreds of people in the north
and west expect to come to the
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
goods and farm implements. 1t pays
to advertise, and there is no better
medium in this section than the
Weekly Herald. This applies to the
merchants of San BenitO, Harlingen,
Mercedes, Hidalgo, as well as those
of Brownsville.
