the vicinity of the Camado ranch and
at San Diego were growing without
irrigation. With irrigation. which
can be pat in without great expense
it appears to US that the country
should never know a crop failure and
that it will prove bonanza for any
man who will work with Industry and
brains AS an investment we be
lieve it is good. for we cannot see
how a country can fill 10 as rapidly
as southeast Texas is doing without
a rise in land values. 1t takes Folks,
after all, to make land go up. and
the folks are certainly pouring into
Texas. AS one old Bourbon sighed,
If this blamed thing keeps up HI
be everastingly ham-strung if the
whole blamed state don't go republi-
can afore long And worse might
happen to Texas.

From Corpus Christie we went due
west right through the heart of Nueces
county. one of the most marvellous
counties of all Texas. The contrasts
were something wonderful For some
distance we would run through highly
cultivated fields. veritable garden
that reminded one of Holland, every
inch under cultivation and mostly in
garden truck that must be ready to
supply the demand for winter vege-
tables made by the fat purses of the
North. Next one would come to a
stretch of Mesquite plain. looking as
barren and inhospitable as you
please. 1t was hard to believe that
the land was the same and that all
that was required was the admixture
of that fourth element Of successful
agriculture, brains, to make another
garden spot.
After some two hours we came to
Alice thriving. much Americanized
city rather larger than Denison.
This is said to be the largest cattle
shipping town in the world. Just
think of that. More cattle ship
ments originate there than in any
other town in the United States. At
present the cattle shipments are de
clining and the shipments of melons.
fruits. cotton and agricultural products
are taking the place of the long horns
that filled the freight cars formerly.
At Alice they have fine orange groves,
truck farms that yield $3.50 per acre
for the winter crop and $40 worth of
cotton for the summer crop. We
met some people from Charlton, Iowa,
at Alice. They went there a few
years ago with but little property,
they have made good living. regain
ed lost health, and are about ten thous-
and dollars to the good. We saw the
lady of the house and the children
and they appeared healthy and happy
and strong and very much alive.
That's worth good deal of any mans
money.
But few miles beyond Alice. five
miles. in fact. we came to the Camado
Ranch, the end of our journey.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-11-04
The Canado Ranch.

The Camaoo ranch is a great cattle
ranch of fifteen thousand acres,
ranch that has grown too valuable to
be merely the feeding ground of deer
and long horns, and which has now
been divided into tracts of various
sizes and which is offered for sale by
Fowler and Bro. under whose aus
pieces "Julia" makes her bi-monthly
trips.
We reached the ranch in the fore
noon and were invited to take walk
about the place. Afterwards we
thought that this was about the poor
est thing the agents could have asked
us to do. but later we thought again
and made up our minds that they act
ed wisely in giving us the worst i'm
preston first. When the party of us
left the car and walked out through
the slightly rolling lands, covered
with mesquite trees. and when some
Of the men got mixed up with the
cac.i, and swore, it did not look very
promising as a real estate PROPOSE
tion. After we had walked about for
a while, one of the Kansas farmers
commenced kicking in the ground.
"Gee. that's rich looking Dirt" he
said. A pick was brought and dig
ging commenced. down and down they
went and the rich black soil seemed
to be getting richer all the time.
Finally the farmer got tired of dig
ging and we were ready to take the
agents word for it that there was q
dozen feet of rich black soil right
there. That cheered the Kansas
farmers up bit.
elbow do you git rid wv tn COLL
burned cactus?" was the next ques-
tion asked. You take long handl-
ed knife.a long handled one mind you.

EXCURSION VISITS
CAMADO RANCH
GETS A GLIMPSE OF CORPEs CHRISTIE
ON THE GULF.
FAIR JULIA FALLS IN LOVE
Sunshine and Cotton, Oranges and Lemons
Complete Her Captivation With Nueces
County, Texas.

There is no use in going from home
to get away from memories. Sorrow
is easier to bear in the atmosphere
of home. Surrounded by those you
love. feeling the obligation of being
brave for their sakes; to shoulder
the burden of life is easier than
to run away.
When we saw the Spanish moss
hanging from the branches of the live
oaks, we remembered the day down
in Biloxi when we climbed the old
rail fence to get some for the little
waiting arms below when we saw
the waving palm trees we heard
again the shouts of delight in their
beauty and as we stood at Corpus
Christie and watched the waves of the
same old "Golf of Mexico we re-
membered the sound of little feet
that ran and the music of little
voice that called that the water was
really salt.
And, after all. we dc not want to
lose the memories, they are all we
have left. and while they bring the
tears and wrench the heart, we would
not let them go.
But that was Texas. and this is the
old Review and. big as both of them
are, they have no great amount Of
room for personal griefs or, vain re-
grets or lamentations.
Inc early morning at Corpus
Christie. for our porter had the bad
habit of rousing US almost before the
dawn, was chilly and raw. The Gulf
breeze made Us shiver and welcome
the morning coffee and the rising of
the sun. The sun had not been up
more than five minutes however when
it began to get in its work and one
realized that we had dropped down
another hundred miles or so south of
San Antonio and were crowding pretty
close to Old Mexico.
The transfer from the S. A. A. P.
depot to the line of the "Tex- Mex"
was brief but interesting journey.
The route lay through the heart of the
Mexican and negro portion of the city.
The inhabitants evidently were not
used to having Pullman cars paraded
past their humble dwellings and they
turned out en- masse to welcome us.
Such a tousle of kinky heads and
straight black haired heads and roll
ing whites of sparkling eyes, such
glimpses into one-room. two family
homes, such mixture of all molas-
ees shades. such jolly outlaws from
happy darkies. such sullen glances
from big-hatted Seniors. such open
curiosity from fat and faded Senoras.
such bewitching chances from bright
eyed Senoritas. such squalor and such
dirt.
1t was then that we understood how
such little town as Corpus Christie
could contain so many people. A
lot so by $50. the size Of one of our
residence lots would contain from six
to twelve little shacks. each housing
from one to three families and very
few families of less than half ooz-
en-. We believe that any one of the
lots along Black street in Corpus
Christie will house more people than
any entire block in the city of Deni-
son.

the prices just about the same as in
Kansas. Flour was a little higher.
His wife had given him list of
thirgs to price, and he made the
store Keepers show him the whole
works and price about half taelr
wares. Then Smiley went back to
the Camado ranch and bought half
section. He left the narty few
days later to hurry home to Kansas,
load a car with household goods nd
implements and get to work on Ii.
new place at cree. He has two grown
sens, one of them 1narried. They
will build two houses and go right TO
work Isy January they expect to
hav. large part of their farm ready
for cultivation. The mesquite trees
Will furnish posts enough to fence
the land and supply what little fuel
is needed. Mr.. Smiley gets about
three acres for one Of his Kansas
home and with his two stalwart sons
we believe he will succeed and that
this half section will not be the last
that he buys and that some day he
will be looked up to, just as we lock
up to our pioneers as one Of the
makers of the community.
At Camado we met young couple
from Bloomington, Ill. They follow
ed us by day having missed the car.
This was their second trip and this
time they came with their goods and
chattes to bu.ld home on the tract
they had bought. A young man from
Kansas bought eleven acres. right out
of that cotton field mentioned before.
He stayed down in Texas. to build
home and get things in readiness fer
his wife. who will follow him in
few weeks. He planned to 90 into
truck farming. putting cut an acre
OF oranges trees for start and in /
creasing his grove each year. He
hopes to earn enough to keep him
until his oranges get to bearing and /
then he will have steady income for
life cut of that eleven acres. An
orange grove averages to Yield flom
$500 to $500 ger acre, after it is five +
years CID, and the thiri and fourth +
years are profitable These are SAM
piles of the purchases that were made /
and give an idea of the plans and .
hopes of the new settlers. About |
fifteen hundred acres were sold to
members of our party.
Mr.. Will Drake of Charlton
bought eighty acres and TIE editor is
trying to pay for little ten acre 1T
right hes de him which Mr. Drake is
going to take charge of for Us for
the present.
The soil is az Itch as could be ask
ed. There is suggestion of sand, I
enough to make the soil work easily.
but not enough to weaken the soil.
There is no rcck There is just
enough rise to insure drainage. The
climate is delightful. except that dur
ing the summer months there is con-
tinuous steady heat. The nights are
always cool however and the shade is
cool. the difference between sun and
shade being very marked. The rain
fall is from 90 to 80 inches per year.
This is the same as the greater por-
tion of Oklahoma, and the Panhandle
country. All the crops we saw grow
ing. the cotton, the corn. the
oranges and lemons, the cabbages. in

An Apt Comparison.

"Sealshipt' Oysters which are
now on sale by j. B. Lyons are re-
cent development in improved meth
DDS of oyster shipment. They are
packed by the National Oyster Carrier
Company, a concern whose aim may
be likened to that of the modern up-
to-date newspaper of the Review
class. inasmuch as both are serving
the public. the one in furnishing
fresh clean news. the other in pro-
viding oysters with the same quality.
The National Oyster Carrier Com
pany pack Sealshipt" Oysters in
steel containers with ice around The
container. No ice or water comes in
contact with the oysters. so the con-
sumner gets solid meats. natural in
size and color-not bleached and
bloated or mashed by ice.
'Sealshipt" Oysters are sold from
a porcelain lined display case with
the Sealshipt" trade mark in blue
and white on the outside. This is
guarantee that you are getting the
finest oysters produced and that they
have the real. piquanu. delicate oyster
flavor. They are entirely different
from the common tub oysters.
