tain De Lone in The Rose OF Algeria"
at the Herald Square thcater, has
proved one Of the features of the new
metropolitan dramatic season. Mr.
Pollocks rendition of this role which
Is that of the leading tenor Is asserted

the hit which THE Rose of Algeria"

LOUISIANANS
BOUGHT LAND
ACQUIRE $500 ACRES OF VAL
LEY LAND NEAR HIDALGO.
Messrs Pharr, Millionaire Sugar Plan
tiers of Louisiana VIII Plant Cane
and Build Large Sugar Mill-Most
Important Deal

Another big deal in Lower Rio
Grande realty, which means great
deal in the way of development OF
the resources of the valley, was con-
summated Yesterday when the Pharr
brothers and their associates, from
Louisiana. purchased large tract OF
land fro c. E. Hammond. The tract
comprises about ten sections ana Is
considered among the best sugar
land in the valley.
The land purchased by the Pharrs
is located on the Rio Grande river
lust west of the town of Hidalgo, in
Hidalgo county. Six thousand hve
hundred acres is approximately the
acreage called for in the trans
fer and the price paid, while not de-
initely stated by either of the parties
to the deal, is said to be about $2OO,-
900.
While it has been pretty generally
known for some time that the MesSrs.
Pharr were contemplating an invest
ment in the Rio Grande valley, the
location they had selected and all
other details have been kept quiet.
Hon. Henry A. Pharr, who spent
some time in the valley this month,
stated Tuesday before leaving for
home that he and his associates
would buy in this section, but did
not say where Eugene Pharr, who re-
NAMED here to close up the deal, was
likewise non-committal, and it was not
until today that the facts of the
transaction became public.
1t is stated that the Messrs. Pharr
will improve the tract at once and
will plant it in sugar the coming
year. They will also build large
sugar mill and refinery and will pro-
duce sugar on the same methods they
employ on their plantations in

Some excellent celery grown at

1t is said that the Corpus aggrega-

players and as Brownsville has the
one of the swiftest and best all

teresting games are promised. The

Prohibition's Growth.

Prohibition in 1909 still retains its
place as the chief economic issue in
vast majority of the states. The
progress has been steady. and there
are few states where there is not an
organized fight against the saloon.
Although public morals is undoubt-
eddy the basis of the fight, yet it is as
an economic issue that it has attained
its greatest success. Particularly is
this the case in the South where pro-
hibition has met with widest success.
They need the negro to work the
farms and they know that so long as
he can procure whisky in the towns
he will not live in the country.
Therefore the southern business man
is prohibitionist for business reas-
ons Similarly he fights against CO
caine and other drugs.
The situation to date summed up
is as follows: Nearly two-thirds of
the territory of the United States
and nearly one-half the population are
under some form of prohibition pro-
lection; 25,000,000 people in the
South are under prohibition; 80 cities
of 10000 or over are dry; 500 cities
of 5000 each or over.
Mississippi, Alabama and North
Carolina became dry January /, 1909.
In Louisiana the temperance advo-
Gates are awaiting a test of the eff
ficiency of new law regulating the
liquor traffic Governor Patterson, of
Tennessee, recently vetoed a bill Or
daining statewide prohibition, though
the bill was passed over his veto. He
believes in local option. In Arkan-
sas and Texas the voters will soon
be called to decide the general issue.

FALFURRIAs VS.. RIO GRANDE.
Smallpox Quarantine Result of Rival
~ of Two Starr County Towns.

Austin. Texas, March 17.-Civic
pride ripened into civic jealousy,
seems to have been the cause of the
recent quarantine troubles at Falfur-
rias. State Health Officer Brumby,
who returned yesterday morning,
states that the trouble is cleared up,
four cass of smallpox being the root
of the entire misunderstanding.
Falfurrias is the prospective county
seat for the new county to be cut out
of Starr county. Rio Grande City is
the county seat of Starr and when the
smallpox was discovered at Falfur-
rias, Rio Grande City insisted that the
infected city be quarantined The
health officials concurred and Rio
Grande City saw her would-be rival
tied up tight.
With the arrival of Dr. Brumby,
the situation was quickly cleared up.
