SAN BENITO COTTON.
Will Probably Gin 500 BaIes-Crop
Short This Season.

To The Herald:
San Benito, Texas, Aug. 2S.-To
date the cotton gin here has turned
out about 175 square bales. In all
probability the seasons run will
amount to about 500 bales. This is
very much less than was expected in
the beginning of the season. In fact
it was thought the crop would yield
not less than 1900 bales. The great
shortage is due to the effect of the
storm of about two months ago, which
played havoc with the cotton here.
Your correspondent saw a field
the other day of twenty acres that
will not make pound to the acre,
and this cotton at the time of the
storm was in first class shape.
1t rained here all day yesterday
and showered heavily all through the
night, and is today raining steadily
again.

CITY RHLLDLNG.

This thing of city building is a
serious business. 1t is really d great
undertaking to take a small country
town, which has been growing larg-
er and larger with the passing years,
IN kind of hap-hazard way, until
all of a sudden it wakes up to the
fact that it is hled with people who
are clamoring for city Improvements
and convert it into a modern, up-to-
date city.
This is the condition that con
fronts Brownsville today. In popula-
ton, it has attained that size which
entities it to be a city. In wealth,
it has ,assuTedly increased sufici-
emily to justify it in making those
improvements which its importance
as city now demands
A sewerage system, chiefest
among our public needs. is already
virtually assured. Drainage, sec
ond in Importance to sewerage,
should follow without delay. Street
paving and sidewalks, a gas plant,
street car system, and other modern
improvements all badly needed, are
within reach The organization and
equipment of an efficient fire de-
partment is another most important
feature with which the citizens
should concern themselves at once.
The improvement of the water and
light plant, so that the city may re
ceive an adequate service from it
also demands immediate attention.
Some OF these matters belong
within the province of the city
council, and the public welfare de-
mands that action be taken upon
them by that body without further
loss of time But, whether the
council attend to these matters or
nor. The Herald believes that it be-
hooves the citizens to take immedi-
ate steps to see that something is
done big "get-tOgether' meet
ing should be held, at which the
general good of the town should be
considered, and plans devised for
the purpose of putting Brownsville
on the road to modern development,
and soane organized move undertake
en- toward that end
It IS worse than useless for the
citizens to go on as they are, grumb-
ling with the city council for not
doing things, and yet not doing any
thing themselves to promote the
general welfare of the city. 1t
should be remembered that our city
councilmen have their own business
to attend to, and receive not
nickel for the service which they
render the city. Therefore, the
other citizens may as well concern
themselves with these matters, as
the city council Let us all get Uo-
gether and see if we cannot devise
plans TO improve present conditions
in Brownsville.

UNFAIR ana FOSTERS tNtraFa9ance-
J. c. Ulrich of Denver, Colo, the
irrigation expert recently engaged
by the Rio Grande Irrigation Co.,
as consulting engineer, accompanied
by DR.. A. NJ. Roth, president of that
company and E. B. Gore, resident
engineer, came in from San Juan
last night
Mr.. Ulrich arrived at the com
pany's headquarters at San Juan
last Friday, going there direct with
out touching at Brownsville. With
out delay he started to look over the
ground going to Rio Grande City
with Dr. Roth and Engineer Gore on
Monday and working down by horse
back from the site of the proposed
intake of the gravity ditch along
the line of the same to Mission,
where the rain drove the surveyors
from the field.
When seen last night, Mr.. Ulrich
said he was not yet ready TO give
any opinion regarding the engineer
ing features Of the new canal
From a superficial acquaintance
with the country and the general
plan of the project, the project
seems to me to be perfectly feast

ity on that score after ! have been
over the ground thoroughly, have
examined the other canal systems
and conditions in the valley gen
orally"
Local Canal Methods Touched Upon.
Speaking of canal management in
the valley, Mr. Ulrich said: There
is one thing that strikes me as be-
ing unfair in the method of Oper-
ating the canals here | notice that
the water is not measured, and that
a farmer can use as much as he
wishes, paying for it at fat rate
This is unfair to the man who uses
no more water than his crops really
need, as he may be paying for part
of the water used by the man next
to him who thinks it is up to him
to take all he can get for the mon
ey. The latter man not only rails
es the cost of furnishing water to
the canal company and does an in
justice to his neighbors who are
economical in its use. but also
ruins his own land and perhaps in
jures his neighbors. This principle
is entirely wrong and | am surprised
that the canals here operate in this
way. We have been all through
that in Colorado and California and
know that the only scientific and
thoroughly practicable plan is that
of measuring the Watpr ucpd nv
each man. Then the farmer who
knows viii get the benefit of his
knowledge and the canal company
will save money on operating ex-
penses. -
Mr.. Ulrich and DR.. Roth went up
to San Benito this morning to get
some pointers from the big gravity
ditch which Sam Robertson built
there for the San Benito Land and

Uncle Henry says he is willing to
sell, and it is not too late to recon-

lodge room. A modern brick
building on this corner would be
q great improvement to the town,
while on the other hand a frame
building on the old lot would be a
drawback.
