4 GREAT IDEA.

A truly great idea for the benefit
of the entire Lower Rio Grande Val
ley is advanced in todays Herald IN
communication by DR.. S. K Hal
lam, vice-president of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Commercial Club,
a siph channel from Lagunda Madre
to Brownsville That the idea is feas-
ible has been declared by many who
are thoroughly conversant with the
situation. Louis Cobolini, who is
perhaps better posted on the posi-
bilities of this coast and vicinity
than any other individual, declares
that the ship channel can be built
A comparatively short canal would
be necessary, and, as the article in
question points out, tide water may
be brought within four miles Of
Brownsville by it. The construction
of the proposed drainage ditch for
this vicinity may be combined with
/. the proposed channel, draining the
surplus water into it and thus max
ing the channel serve a double pur-
pose, besides adding to its supply of
water The cost would be compare
lively small. The elimination of in
ternational complications, or the ne
cessity of securing the consent of a
foreign government, which would be
requisite were the improvement of
the Rio Grande for navigation un-
dertaken, is a point greatly in favor
Of the ship channel. There are va
rious examples where, with much less
natural advantages than are offered
here, such an undertaking has been
accomplished with marked success.
and there is every reason to believe
that it can be done here. 1t is only
necessary for Brownsville to be in
spiIed with faith in its great posi-
bilit.e5 The ship channel is not
merely a thing to be dreamed Of
it is thing that may be done 1t
will make Brownsville the greatest
port on the entire Gulf coast Let
rs do it

BUMPER APPLE CROP.
s5,OOO,OOO Barrels Estimated Yield
of United States and Canada.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. %
Thirty-five million barrels, or 12,-
00O,0 900 barrels more than in 1908,
is the estimated apple crop of the
United States and Canada this sea
son, according to Ben H. Rice, sec

ional Apple show in Spokane, No

,0S out the foregoing

duct east OF the Mississippi river
i not as good as last year, the crop
Viii be much larger and probably
more profitable The yield in the
states west of the Mississippi is
lighter than in 1908, but the fruit
is of a better grade"
The International Apple Shippers
Association has issued an official
statement that the crop in the New
England states is 20 per cent in ex-
cess of 1908, while the yield in the
central states is about y per cent
below last year, and the middle
western states report a crop double
that of last season. when the yield
was light
Growers in the southern states
report a crop of from 125 to $50
per cent larger than in 1908. The
Pacific group viii have a smaller
crop than last year, but the de-
creases in Idaho, Washington and
New Mexico are more than made up
by TIE Zig weld in Colorado, so that
the western crop will De fully as
large as the previous season.
Losses are shown in reports from
New York, New Hampshire, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and other states have gains. The
Dominion 70 Canada, not including
Nova Scotia, shows a gain of IS per
cent, and the crop in the province
of Nova Scotia is fully as large as
in 1908, when bumper crop was
harvested.
While there is no way by which
the crop can be figured to a GER
taint., said Mr. Rice, the fcreeo-
ing figures show as near as il is
possible to get them what the Weld
will be and they will govern prices
There are indications that the ex-
Port business from the Northwest
will be larger than in 1908. Wien
many apples were sent abroad"

There be men who are very anX-
ious to tell the truth about unfavor-
able conditions and reports, but it
is observable that the information
with which they seem to be fairly
bursting is generally much more
unfavorabel to other localities than
to their own. Now, if you must
tell the truth, dear friend, suppose
YOU try to confne your enthusiasm
in the veracity line to your own
demesne and let other people work
ont their own salvation. One thing
is eertain-this thing of telling bad
stories about neighbOring sections,
in order to boost ones own section
is sure TO prove a boomerang in the
end. as it will tend to destroy the
confidence of prospectors in the en-
tire valley, and hurt the knocker as
well as the man who gets knocked.

as you please, but there is no need

LETTERS FkOM THE PEOPLE
A Ship Canal or Brownsville,

snip Cailai OF t>fohhSNiiiS'
To the Herald:
If the reader will lay a ruler on
a map of Cameron county from
| Brownsville to the nearest point on
the Laguna Madre, he will observe
two lungs that ought to set him
to thinking. He will observe first
that the distance is not more than
seventeen and one half miles, and
second, that this line crosses tide
water or land but little elevated
above il to within about four or I'VE
| miles of Brownsville
1t is pronounced by engineers an
easy matter to dredge channel
deep enough to admit all boats that
could be used on the proposed Inter
| Coastal Canal from the Laguna
! Madra to Brownsville 1t is believed
that for less than one million dol
| lars this channel could be so en-
! larged and deepened that the larg-
est ocean going vessels, when the
Brazos Santiago pass is opened,
could discharge their cargoes at
| Brownsville harbors.
This may sound like a pipe-dream,
but more difficult things than this
] Id
Ter. through such a channel eighty
miles long, has become one of Eng
| land 5 greatest commercial empori-
| ums.
brownsville needs, and doubtless
viii soon have, additional railway
facilities But such a channel would
he worth more in the development Of
a greater Brownsville than all the
railways that could ever be built
Such a project should receive
state and national aid, but such aid
comes, if ever, only after long and
persistene efforts. Here is some
thing for our Commercial Club to
go after" 1t would not be for
Brownsville alone, but for the rap
id development of the entire valley.
1t would cut all freight rates more
than One-half.
We should have a "get-together'
meeting, and take the necessary
steps to obtain concessions of right
of way through the land. and TO
interest the necessary capital.
Another feature OF such a canal
would be its great advantage in
draining contiguous lands. The
proposed drainage system for which
surveys have just been completed
could be connected with this canal
as its outlet, and thousands Of acres
near the coast, now practically
worthless, would be thoroughly re-
claimed Such drainage system
would properly bear a part of the
cost This plan would also elimi-
nate all international questions that
might arise by attempting to open
the Rio Grande to navigation as far
as possible The distance would be
less than one-siXth Of that from
BrazOs Santiago pass to Browns
vie. Besides, it would Obviate all
trouble about the rivers constantly
filing with silt
BY this plan there would no long
er be any conflict between nayiga-
ton and irrigation interests. On
this plan, no one would need to wire
our congressman to Copper Navi-
gauOn." Every interest in the val
Icy would be benefited beyond our
highest expectations.
Give Brownsville a ship canal, and
it will become the greatest seaport
on the entire Gulf coast In direct
line to the Panama canal, the com
merce of the great south and west
would pass through her port
Let the watchword of every citi-
zen be For a Greater Brownsville. 8"

 TALKS ON MANS OBLIGATION

Rev. H. J. Mikell, of Christ Church. Nashville. in a quiet but forceful man. ner. brought home yesterday to his hundred odd hearers at the monday services in the Majestic Theatre. the lesson taught by the story of Esau and Jacob. the one doing right in a per- functory way but with little of the spiritual in his heart. the other. often stumbling but finally succeeding g through his unceasing desire to do Gods will.
 "A man." says MT. Mikell. twill often say, Well. live a good life. take my drink of whiskey now and then but never let it harm me or any body else: go to the theatre now and then but always carry myself proper ly.' He says that he can take his fling because he has joined no church and has7no obligations. But that man Is not Christian or a good citizen. His motive Is not right.
 "A Nman needS to feel an obligation to his God. Unless he does his con- duct will never be of the right kind |. Let man have an obligation and feel that he has 1t and he will find that al- though 1t Is hardi at times to stick to 1t, he will in the end succeed"

It was near there. at Washington, Pa., that Thomas Campbell published a document known as the "Decalration and Address" in the autumn of 1909, which has become historic. The prln- ciples embr aced In this document led to a movement that has resulted in the existence of the Christian Church" which now numbers about one million and quarter members, with six thousand ministers. about forty sehools. and colleges. etc. It Is growing Church and is one of the most aggressive religious bodies In all the world.
 rhsre Is great activity in all these churches now, preparatory to the cele- bration in Pittsburg. One chief aim Is to raise ,s4o0,000 for Foreign Missions The special day set apart for this purpose is March [. All the Chris tian churches are expected to make a contribution on that day to reach the Gospel throughout the whole world. The Church in this community Is talk ing an active interest in this mat ter. and 1t may be depended upon to make a creditable showing.
