MR.. SIMS GOES TO CHICAGO.
Will Ehdeavor to Organize Stock
Company to Bore for Oil on
Padre Island.

Geo. R. Sims, manager of the
Padre Island Development Com
pany, left this morning, accom-
panied by Mrs. Sims, for Chicago.
His mission in Chicago, he an
nouneed before leaving, is to at
tend meeting Of the stockhold-
ers of this company, the principal
purpose of which is to be the con-
sideration of the advisability of
drilling for artesian water or oil
on the southern end of Padre Is
land, somewhere near Tarpon
Beach.
Mr. Sims expresses the firm be-
lief that oil exists under Padre
Island, basing his belief upon the
fact that oil has been floating on
the surface of the gulf near the
island, and also that considerable
quantities of sea-wax or asphalt
have been washed upon the shore
of the island from the gulf from
time to time.
The recent discovery of oil in
the vicinity of Bay City and 9TH
er points on that part of the coast,
while oil discoveries have also
been made on the Mexican coast
near Tampico, encourages the be-
lief that the great Texas oil belt
most probably extends all the way
along the coast as far as the mouth
of the Rio Grande, including Pad
re Island.
Whether such is really the fact,
can only be determined by boring
a well, and it is the declared inten-
ton of Mr.. Sims to organize
stock company for that purpose.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sims
will return in about week or ten
days. Mrs. Sims goes to spend the
summer in New York.

Cause of Delay On Account
Wrecked Train.

Speaking of the delay to the
members of the San Antonio Bust
ness League, Mr.. Miller said that
the derailment to the freight train
was one of those unfortunate
things that is liable to occur on
any railroad The great trunk
lines that spend millions of dol
lars in Improvements have the
same trouble.
Immediately on receipt of adj
vice that our freight train was de-
rallied we sent our wrecker and
full corps of men to the scene Of
the accident. Everything in con
nection with the handling of the
wreck went along smoothly until
finally one of the cars broke in
two, caused by lifting with 100
ton crane, and the car became
deeply buried in the sand. Quite
a number of the San Antonio buy
ness men stated to me personally
that they appreciated the fact that
no one could tell.exactly how long
it would require to clear the
wreck, although they felt very
satisfied with the treatment ac-
corded them, and in order to give
them every opportunity to prolong
their stay here and visit points of
wreck, although they felt very well
l placed a special train at their dis
interest in and about Brownsville,
their disposal, which they assure
me is appreciated by every mem

When is the city council going
to appoint those school trustees
Almost every town in the state
has long since had its new board
of trustees organized and employ
ed It's teachers for the fall term,
excepting Brownsville. The early
board catches the early applicant
for positions. The question of
who will be employed as principal
of the Brownsville public school
must be held in allegiance until the
board gets TO work.
In accordance with the signed
agreement by the leading mer-
chants of the city with the clerks,
the stores will begin closing at
eight p. m, today, which will
continue during the summer
months. All but three mer-
chants have signed the agree
ment, and it is probable that these
will be brought around before
long. 1t does look as if the clerks
should have the evening hours for
rest and recreation, as they have
in almost every other place in the
United States. The merchants
have also agreed 10 observe the
Sunday law all day Sunday.
