told was fair average annual produc.
ton for tree that age.
l found Velasco to be a town of
eight or nine hundred people, situated
on the bank of the Brazos river,
about five miles from it's mouth, and
in my opinion the little village there
now is destined to develop into a
very large city and to become one of
Texas great gulf ports. The U. S.
government is lending substantial aid
in the development of the port at the
mouth of the Brazos. | was informed
that already something like $1,300,000
has been spent in building a system
of granite jetties, which have during
the last month been completed; $780,
900 has been appropriated and is be-
ing spent in making the Brazos river
navigable above Velasco, and for the
Inland Canal projected from near the
mouth of the Mississippi, which flows
into the Brazos river at Velasco,
about 100000 is being spent by the
federal government Dredging on the
canal at Velasco by the government is
in operation now.
The land for sale there by the
Brazos-Coast Investment company was
closely inspected by me, as well as
the Velasco town site, and as l stated
above was whole lot better than l
expected, and l think better than the
description of it in their literature.

NOW OPEN TO TRAFFIC
Great Steel Tube Under the Hudson
River Placed In Commission To-
day-cost $6o,ooo,ooo.
Special to the Herald.


New York, Feb. 25.-With interest.
ing ceremonies and prominent partici
pants, accompanied by the playing OF
bands and the cheering of thousands
the great steel tube under the Hudson
river, connecting New Jersey and Man
haitian Island, was formally opened to
traffic today President Roosevelt, in
the executive mansion at Washington
pressed button that flashed the sig
the tunnel. On board the first train
were Governor Hughes of New York,
Governor Fort of New Jersey, the
mayors of New York City, Hoboken
and Jersey City, and the officials of
the construction and rapid transit
companies that have made the great
undertaking an accomplished fact
after quarter of century had clap
sed since the project was first con-
ceived.
The first train covered the distance
of three and a quarter miles in less
than fifteen minutes Arriving at the
Nineteenth street terminal of the tun-
mel system the distinguished partici-
pants in the dedication ceremonies re-
paired to Sherry's, where an elabo-
rate banquet was spread in further
celebration of the important event.
The opening of this tunnel, known
as the south tube of the North river
tunnel system, marks the completion
of the first section of the great under
ground railroad system that is to con-
meet New York city with the New
Jersey side of the river, and which
will do away with the slow ferry boats
that. for years have carried the tens
of thousands of passengers that cross
the North river daily.
The great terminals at Hoboken,
Jersey City and Newark on the New
Jersey side will be transfer points for
passengers from the various railroad
and trolley lines that make network
spreading over the entire northern
part of New Jersey When all Sec
tons of the new underground system,
with its eighteen miles of tunnels are
in operation, these points will have
direct rapid transit communication
with the heart of New York City. The
cost of the enterprise is figured at
nearly sixty million dollars.
The section opened to traffic today
extends from Hoboken under the river
to the foot Of Morton street, and
thence UP Rerwest- of New York
-Minataanth street. Withf1lka.v
months the section to Thirty-third
street and Sixth avenue will be in op-
Grafton. At that point an immense
terminal station will be erected and
will, in all probability, have an under
ground connection with the Pennsyl
vania station, as well as with the
present subway system running the
full length of Manhattan Island. For
the present, eight-car trains will be
run under the river at intervals of
every five minutes. They are expect
ed to make the trip in twelve min
utes.

The air is crisp and mellow. there is music
in the glen.
The songsters that went south last fall are
coming home again.
The wren Is on the housetop. the ROBINS
on the lawn.
And the chickens are cackling an hour be-
fore dawn;
And the saucv little sparrows that have
been our winters guests
Are buster than beavers building fluffy
little nests.
Oh. the signs of spring returning may
everywhere be seen:
St. Patrick's day is coming. too-the hills
are turning green.
And when the spring returns it will bring
the summer, too,
Clad in a gorgeous garment with flowers
of every hue;
The hills will hail the valleys, while the
river plays it's pranks.
Rushing madly to the ocean. leaving
shadows on it's banks.
All, the shadows and the mem'ries which
some cruel rivers leave
Cause thousand hearts to mourn and tor
many years to grieve:
And the trees will bow serenely to.every
passing breeze;
Yet the world seems discontented mid
raptures such as these.

1t is understood tbat K. Is. Bale,
who has held the Office of treasurer
of School District No. 22 for the
past several years, will have op.
position in the coming election in
July. the name of a prominent min
ing captain being among those
mentioned as possible candidate
for the position.
The Office has paid two per
cent of the total disbursements,
which has made a nice job of it in
past, the erection of the handsome
school buildings of the district
causing the payment of large sums
of money. In future it is unlikely
the "take" will be as fat, but the re.
muneration will be worthy of con.
sideration. Mr.. Bailie has announ.
ced his candidacy for reelection
although he states that until very
recently he had not intended again
seeking the honors and emolu'
ments of the office.
