Wilcox. who Is known as the grain
king of the Northwest. and who buys
and sells more wheat than any other
dealer. said the farmers are busy har.
vesting. and have evidently paid hut
little attention to the market. While
few OF them are selling at present

growers are holding out for higher
prices. Today club wheat is quoted
at 93 cents a bushel at Portland But
Wilcox predicts that II will soon be

ADVERTISE IN THE HERALD
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1909-04-07

The Herald believes IN fair play.
There are those who differ from The
Herald in its opinion as to the wis
dom and justice of giving Twelfth
street to the railroad company. If
any of the advocates of the proposed
franchise will be kind enough to ex-
plain their views to the readers of
The Herald, the necessary space will
be cheerfully given any such eommun-
ication. This is only fair to both
sides Every local reader of The Her
aid would be interested in hearing
both sides OF the question.

CONDUCTORS MAY STRIKE.
Trouble Over Inspectors on Mexican
National Lines.

San Antonio. Texas, April "A
strike of all the railway conductors
on the National railways of Mexico
nov seems inevitable, judging from
information of an authentic nature
afoat in San Antonio railroad circles.
This information, received direct
from members of the Order of Rail-
way conductors who are employed by
the National Railways of Mexico. by
San Antonio railroad parties who are
keeping in close touch with the stu
alton. is to the effect that in compli-
ance with the rules governing such
conditions thirty days notice mas
been given General Manager A. Clark
of the National Railways TO withdraw
the order placing inspectors over the
conductors and to abandon the idea
Along with the notice goes the infor-
nation that if this is not done every
conductor in the employ of the COM
pany will leave their cab0oses. This
will mean one of the biggest railway
strikes of history.
That the strike is inevitable is the
general opinion. for the management
of the National Railways has so far
absolutely ignored the contentious of
the conductors and is going ahead
with its plans of putting Oh the in
spectors. Though these have not
yet been officially put on. it is learned
from International & Great Northern
conductors who make the Laredo run
that the inspectors are now on the
trains unofficially. the plan evident
ly being to allow them some time to
familiarize themselves with the work
The thirty days notice is said to have
been served last Thursday

If the city council would only be
even half so cautious in acting on
the proposed gift of Twelfth street
to the st. Louis, Union Trust Com
pany as it has been in the matter of
the proposed street car franchises,
the right of the city would be reason
ably assured. Just read the string
ent provisions recommended by the
committee to be incorporated in a
street car franchise. and compare
them with the very liberal terms of
the proposed Twelfth street franchise,
and ponder upon the difference.

Notes of the Game.
Yesterday being election day, with
all of the thirst parlors closed evil
IDENTITY made deep impression on the
mind of Umpire McGonigle as all
high balls looked so good to him that
he called them strikes
The base running of Dubose, the
little third baseman for the Fats,
brought forth a storm of applause
from the grand stand
Tate's slide for the home plate was
also a noticeable feature of the game.
That any of the players that played
on either team yesterday could make
the big league. if they were so dis
posed is admitted by everyone who
witnessed the game.
1t is limited that this game was
gotten up by Willie Whitman, the
druggist. as he had on hand an extra
supply of arnica of which he wished
to dispose.
