WORSE THAN EARTHQUAKES

Speaking of volcanoes, earth
quakes and other great convul-
sions of Nature, it may be we'll
to remember that there are some
things even more destructive;
witness tale that is told of an
occurrence during the earthquake
in Charleston, South Carolina,
several years ago.
A resident of the shaken city,
while he felt that his duties re-
quired him to remain there to do
what he might for the sufferers,
sent his siXyear-old son out of
the danger and confusion to the
youngsters grandfather in New
York. Three days after the boys
arrival the Charleston man receiv-
ed this telegram from his father:
"Send US your earthquake and
take back your boy.'
A man, now middle aged,
whose boyhood home was in the
same fertile region, was wont to
recall very severe freshet that
swept the old homestead away.
"And the next thing saw of
father,'' he would say at a thrill
ling point of the narrative, che
was sailing down stream on the
diningroom table. -
"And what did you do?"
would be the invariable query.

CARRIED BY A BIG MAJORITY

Special Election held Monday, for the

by Large Vote -I53 For and 8

The special election held here
to vote on the proposition OF
granting $50 horse power tree to
Van Nostrand & Klein (The Ea-
lie Aluminium Co.. to run their
plant for the next fifteen years,
was carried by the following vote:
For Contract I55
Against Contract 9
total I62
The large vote cast at this spe-
cial election was most gratifying
not only to those most interested
but to all our citizens who want
to see our town built up. 1t was
up to the citizens to MAKE their
word good and they certainly did
the job manfu}ly At no special
election held here in years past
have the voters taken such an
interest as they did last Monday,
and all seemed well satisfied at
tie close of the count Of the bal
lots. At no time during the past
four weeks, has there been any
doubt as to the outcome of the
election. but many did not look
for such large maj ority, The
Eagle Aluminium Co., the initial
industry, can, by the large vote,
feel assured that the citizens OF
Eagle River want them here, and
welcome them to our town.
When other manufacturing con-
Germs are looking tor a location,
learn of the good treatment &C
corded the Eagle Aluminium Co.,
they will certainly feel like and
will want to locate here, and it
will no doubt be a question of
short time before we will be
called. upon to vote similar pro-
position for some other concern
and it will go through like the
election didMondaY-by large

Don't wriggle, Mr. Taxpayer,
if the board of equalization is
true to its name and its sworn
duty, every property owner in
town or country will get the same
dose as you are getting. The proper
ty owners must pay for the mainte-
nance of the city, county and state
governments. 1t is they who must pay
for public Improvements, and the
progressive, right minded citizen does
not object to doing his part. But let
the board of equalization not for
get the meaning of that word equal
ization. else some, of the taxpayers
may have a right to raise objections
to the work of the board.

in eight or ten years. 1t is true that
there are a few kinds of wood in the
United States, such as locust and os-
age-orange, which give much longer
service, but their supply, never very
large, is rapidly becoming exhausted,
and the farmer must now look to
some other source for his posts. Per-
haps directly on his farm there
may be a patch of woods which in
cludes such trees as black oak,
beech, maple or pine, and cotton
woods and willows may grow along
the banks of his stream, These are
trees which heretofore have been
thought of little or no use for posts,
because of the rapidity with which
they are attacked by decay. In their
natural condition, they will rot in
two or three years-tOO soon to pay
for the labor of setting them. The
Forest Service in it's study of pro-
longing the life of fence posts has
found cheap and simple methods of
preserving them in a sound condition
for an indefinite time, even though
they are the poorest and naturally
least durable woods
Decay is not a simple process like
the crumbling OF stone or the rusting
of iron. 1t Is caused by low forms of,
plant life which thoroughly permeate
the wood, discolor it and cause it TO
become disconnected and rotten "
To preserve the timber in a thorough
~ sound condition, it is only neces-
sary to render the wood an4-- for the
grow.n of ulese organisms This is
done by injecting into it substances
poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used pre-
is creOsOte one of the by
products of coal tar. When it Is IN
jected into the wood, decay will, be
retarded Indefinitely ana an Oldfield
pine or a cottonwood fence post when
treated will easily give life
of twenty years or longer. Such a !
treatment costs about 0 |
cents per post. The creOsote can be !
applied by painting the wood with q |
brush or dipping it into the liquid, |
but much better results will be OBJ /

the wood instead of just coating the |
If the brush method, or

NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF THE

year will be one of unusual interest
and value as the accumulated ex-

.panies may rise, flourish and fade
away in their automobiles, but the
farmer remains and it will be he who
will have to prove whether or not
this is a country of great agricultural
wealth. 1t is of the utmost import
ance to the individual planter, to
the planters collectively and to every
business interest in South Texas that
as few mistakes in farming be made
as possible, and that conservatism
prevail To this end all of the old
members of the South Texas Gar
deners should be at the meeting to
exchange experiences and to extend
to the newcomers such information
for their guidance as they in their
ripper experience deem wise 1t is
of Importance to the new settler to
get to this meeting, where he can
meet and talk with the farmers of
the entire section and formulate his
plans for next seasons operations
with the aid and advice of the most
growers.
Besides the problems of crops in
themselves there are other matters
which will be up for discussion-the
of vegetables in quantity,
the drainage of land, the subject OF
irrigation methods and the problem
of insect control. The program com
mittee have been promised papers
from government engineers on irri-
cation and drainage The entOmolO-

GOOD RESULTS IN SOME
RESPECTS.

In some respects the flood will be
beneficial in it's results. The many
rasacas and lakes throughout the val
lev are filled to the brim, which VIII
afford abundant water for irrigation
and stock for months to come. Again.
while on some of the overlooked land
crops may be lost, the overflow VIII
insure splendid crops for the fall and
coming year. Winter pasturage for
stock is also insured. 1t is proven
HAL in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
that a big overflow always brings
fine crops for the following year.
Another good result that Will
probably come from the flood will
be the conviction that the entire val
ley should be protected from further
danger from this source by the con-
struction of large reservoirs to re-
ceive and store the flood water, and
of a system of levees to keep the
water from flooding the low grounds.
While the levees are important, the
reservoirs are equally important 1t
looks like sinful waste to permit this
vast quantity of water to run on and
be lost in the briny bosom OF the
Gulf of Mexico, when it might be
stored for use in irrigating these rich
valley lands.

It appears that the city fathers
have forgotten all about that check
for $1,000, which was given them
as a guarantee of good faith by the
promoters of one of the street car
franchises that failed to obtain the

The applicants would like to know
whether the check is to be returned,
or whether the council may yet decide
to grant the franchise.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
That stock Ordinance" Promised
Nine Months Ago.
To The Herald

Nine Months Ago.
To The Herald:
For nine long weary months the
city council has been going to pass
a stock ordinance at the next meet
ing, but apparently that next meet
ing has never been held. In the mean
time the burros, the cows, and other
stock still continue to meander about
the streets of our city, destroying
young shade trees that have been
planted along the sidewalks, as well
as reaching over fences and nibbling
rose bushes and other plants. 1t hard
ly need be said how annoying this is
to the people in general. 1t is not an
uncommon sight to see lady take to
the streets in order to pass burro
that has taken possession of the side
walk. Almost every city in this and
other states, many even smaller than
Brownsville, has a stock ordinance,
and if there was ever a place that
needed one that place is Brownsville.
Even though the city may not have
so awful much money at present, it
would not take such a large fortune
to rent piece of ground and build
fence around it for a pound, ap-
point pound keeper and give him,
