Bv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Beverly. Mass, Aug. President
Taft today received a message of con-
graduation from the Philippines for
mis- efforts in securing the passage of
the Philippine tariff bill. The mes
sage came from Acting Governor
Forbes at Manila The president
sent a suitable reply.
Following out his fixed routine for
vacation days, the president this
morning went early to the golf links
of the Essex Convention Club and
played IS holes with William J.
Boardman of Washington. Upon the
result of today's game much depends
as to where the president will play
the greater part OF his games. He
liked BTyopia Links on Saturday very
much. This afternoon the president

THE ORIGINAL "HoslEsEEKER.' .

George Federolf, who, by the way,
was the original "homeseeker"l ocat-
ing in the valley, was in town today
from his farm, attending to various
business matters. Mr.. Federolf NOV
ed to Brownsville from San Antonio
some years ago, buying two tracts of
farm land few miles from town.
He is one of the most successful cab
bage growers in the valley, and de-
spite the occasional setback of an
unfavorable market or cabbage bugs,
he manages to come out with a fine
balance on the right side of his
ledge He is happy now in having
his family with him, Mrs. Federolf
and their daughter Miss Federolf,
and fourteen-year-old son, having
come from San Antonio two weeks
ego to make their home here. Mr.
Federolf had a pretty new home
ready for his family, having Just
built a neat cottage of a story and a
half on his farm near the Goodrich
place on the Alice road, in anticipa-
ton of their coming.
It was Mr.. Federolf, by the way,
that made such a bumper crop of
cabbage two years. ago, when he
cleared $500 per acre on his cabbage
patch
But please don't say anything in
The Herald about my cabbage crop
this year, he pleaded to the reporter
this morning. when The Herald
published he report of my. chrop year
before last, ! was worried nearly to
death with letters asking me if it
was true. I received letters from
nearly every state in the Union about
it. At first. through courtesy, I en-
deavored TO answer these letters. It
kept me busy every Sunday, all day
long. But the letters kept coming,
at the rate of about fifteen week,
and finally I had TO give it up. So
you can just say that I made very
satisfactory returns from my crop and
with a couple of years more of the
same results, I shall be satisfied. "

YOUNGEST MEMBER OF
ASSOCIATED PRESS.

To-day The Daily Herald greets its
many readers as a full fiedged mem
Der CT that greatest of news gath
eriDg organizations, The Associated
Press. For years it has been the
ambition Of The Herald to become
a member of this association, and
to give its readers a daily press ser
vice which should equal the best
published by any afternoon paper in
Texas The realization of this am
bition is naturally a source of pride
to the publishers of this paper 1t
should also be matter of pride
to Brownsville and the entire Lower
Rio Grande Valley There is not a
single town in South Texas between
Houston and 81 Paso. and outside
of San Antonio that has a paper
which is a member of the Associat-
ed Press. There are indeed very few
towns in Texas outside of the
cities of 10000 population or over
that have such papers. Corpus Chris
ii and Laredo, the leading towns of
that section lying south of San An
tonic, have papers publishing a press
service, but not The Associated Press
service, and where those papers take
a 500 word service. The Herald has
engaged to take 1900 words daily.
The report furnished by The Her
add is equal to that taken by any of
the afternoon papers in the state, eX-
cepting the special correspondence
which pads the news of columns of
the more pretentious afternoon pa

That they viii do 50, The Herald
does not doubt. Its faith in the fut-
ure Of Brownsville and the valley
has prompted it to undertake this
work, and it has equal faith in the
men who are doing their mighty best
to bring about q realization OF that
future. The Herald has worIeS
long and hard for the development
of this wonderful country, and it be-
Iieves that its people will stand by

FORESTRY IN FRANCE.
Reclamation of Sand Dunes and
Marshes Brings Large Revenue.

From her state forests France de-
rives an annual income of approx
mately five million dollars, or $1.75
per acre Eighteen per cent of the
entire area of the country, or 49,
500, 200 acres is forest land Approx
imately six million acres are man
aged by the state, the annual cost
of management being ninety-fve
cents per acre.
The great achievement of France
in forestry has been the establish
ment of protective forests where
much destruction has been caused
by floods Toward the close of the
eighteenth century about 100000
acres comprised in the department
of the Landes were little more
than shifting sand dunes and disease
breeding marshes. This section is
now one of the richest, most product
i've and healthful in France.
This marvellous change has been
brought about by the intelligent cul-
tivation of pine forests. Immense
forests now cover the country, the
sand dunes and marshes have long
since disappeared, and the wood,
charcoal. turpentine, rosin, and kim
dred industries have brought won
derful prosperity to the entire de
partment, which was formerly the
most barren and miasmatic in France
The climate is now mild and balmy,
the great change being wrought by
the forests. The thin layer of clay
beneath the sandy surface, formerly
impervious to water, has been so
pierced by the roots OF the pine that
there is now thorough drainage to
the spongy earth below
The manufacture of rosin, tar,
turpentine, pitch, pyroligneous acid
and wood vinegar is conducted about
the same as in Georgia and the Caro-
linas The trees destined for short
life are bled as soon as they are
big enough to stand bleeding, when
they have a circumference of a foot
or fifteen inches, the sapping of
young trees being the only produc-
ton of a new forest for a time, and
when the thinning out" time comes
they are "bIed to DEATH and the
timber used largely for pit props,

steady and profitable market The
standing trees, those giving prom
Use of most vigor, are never tapped
until they are about three feet in cir

reached the, age of fifty or sixty
years they are cut down, and utilized
for telegraph poles and railway
ties.

fires, wide trenches are dug about

Cincinnati. Aug. "a man half
crazed. half clothed, with flesh burned
to a crisp in places, running through
the streets and yelling with pain, was
the unusual spectacle that followed
a tenement house fire here early to-
day. The suffering man was Michael
Hof. He fell unconscious at the
door of the city hospital and died
soon afterwards. He was 80 years
old. Edward Jacobs, aged 40, who
was also injured in the fire, is dying
from his burns. The two men left
a lamp burning when they retired,
and in some way it settle house afire.
They awoke and finding the room
ablaze, made a desperate effort to
escape by dashing through the flames.

was made to Mr.. Ensign, but the mat
ter of his acceptance was not SO easy.

MAYOR IS OPPOSED
TO WASTE OF FUNDS
Chief Executive Declares Board OF
Health Did Not Recommend Ad-
vance and No Employe Had
Made Complaint

With the treasury in the depleted
condition that Councilman Dromgold
contends it is, Mayor Alexander does
not propose to assist Dromgold and
the other members of the council in
their efforts to deplete it still further
by increasing salaries.
He yesterday returned without his
approval an ordinance increasing the
salaries of the school nurses from $40
to $S5 a month. The mayor says the
increase was not recommended by the
board of health and he does not believe
1t is justifiable.
The ordinance is one of Councilman
Lyons pet projects and he told the
council the extra $40 month was to
pay the car fare of the nurses in their
trips from one school to another. The
mayors message follows:
II return herewith, without my APP
proVal, ordinance passed by your non
orable body November 16, 1909, raising
the salaries of the school nurses from
SIS to $S5 per month, for the following
reasons:
This raise was not recommended by
the board of health. In order to pre-
serve discipline it is necessary that
those employed by any department.
should be required first to present any
complaint they may have to the head
of the department.
Enquiry made at several of our best
hospitals, and also inquiry made of
private nurses, shows that competent
nurses in this city receive but from
$50 to $40 per month. learn also that
the matron of the county hospital,
who is in charge of forty or fifty
nurses, receives but $75 per month.
While 1 believe the city should pay
as high wages for competent help as
are paid by any other corporation or
individual, yet we all should be will
ing to give our very best efforts to our.
city or to our country for the same
amount that we would ask of any prf-
vate concern"
