Ala,
 March 20. 1909.
 This chapter at the request of its Historian, met at the Library Friday, 18th inst, to consider the Prize Es- say" which is being so generally dis cussed.
 The essay in full was not presented, but the criticisms citing the several objectionable phases of it, and from which a definite idea of the whole copy of the paper could be obtained. were read and freely and Informally dis- cussed.
 The unanimous opinion was that Miss Boyson was not to blame; she a northern girl. inheriting the prejudice against the South, and with no in- formation at hand to furnish her with Southern view Of the subject" wrote according to her lights and environ nnents. The judges should not have accepted such an essay, for such a purpose, no matter if 1t was perfectly wording, rhetoric. etc. But at the same time. no doubt Is entertained of the loyalty to the South or to the U. D. O., whom they were serving, of these eminent educators. They erred in their conception of the require n1ents. As the daughters" did, in not stlpnlating that the paper be submit D. c. before awarding the prize.

The rat has been tiled and found
guilty of being the worlds most de-
structiVe pest. The rat. so the court
of investigation declares, destroys
millions of dollars worth of property
annually. Worse still, the rat is de-
clared guilty of causing the death
of thousands of human beings by
spreading the germ of bubonic
plague. The rat is the enemy of the
human race and should be exter-
minated, along with the mosquito
and the fly.

The Knocker

The Knocker
Editor Herald Occasionally the
knocker makes himself known
through your paper and is duly
knocked in return by one of your
subscribers. This is as it should be.
for when there is but one newspaper
in a town it should be forum for the
discussion of all sides of every ques-
ton. The paper which performs the
function of forum in the commune
ty is likely to stand the longest with
out a rival and the saddest hing
in any town, next to seeing a lot of
churches with underpaid ministers do
ing poorly work that could be done
efficiently by one or two churches
with properly salaried men, is to see
a town with two mediocre papers
where one good paper would be twice
as efficient.
There are knockers and knockers.
ALI reforms have been brought about
by knockers whether they appealed
to the sword, the pen or oratEry Of
the three think we all prefer the two
latter. To resent the knockers re-
marks too strenuously or to take him
too seriously is not always the wisest
thing in the world to do. II some
times reminds us of the small boy,
who when the one correcting him
for his faults is too strong for him
to resent his correction in any other
way, protrudes his tongue at his cor
rector from a safe distance
Those who resent all knocking
ought to be sent into Involuntary
exile to the places where the knocker
has lived before and where he has
seen and experienced better condi-
tons than those he is knocking If
after this salutary treatment they
feel as they did before, their resent
ment of the knocker will command
more respect from those who have
travelled far and know that one little
town does not combine all the adj
vantages of all other places and may
be, on the contrary, behind some
a fourth TO sixth its size. There are
cities far in the rear of some villages
and to resent the facts is silly and
unprogressive.
Yours very truly,

nothing definite was accomplished at
the meeting of the land owners of
Hidalgo and Starr counties, held at
San Juan Thursday, for the purpose
of considering the proposed high line
canal for these two counties, yet ten

probably bring nearer the final real

In the absence of DR.. w s. Chaplin of

presided as chairman The plans of
the engineers we're laid before the
committee and thoroughly explained
and discussed. These plans contem-
plate a canal to be operated on grav-

a point some distance above Rio
Grande City near the junction of the
san Juan river with the Rio Grande-
A temporary pumping plant will be
installed to be utilized for quick ac-

river afterwards TO get an absolute

QUEST OF THE SWAMP
ADVENTURE At CROTON.
Queer Experiences of Real Estate
Hen on a Trip Up the Hudson.

There is q group of real estate in this city
who are greatly interested in the problem Of
improved swamp lands and have been for long
time studying methods by which swamps may be
changed into dry salubrious ground. Their earnest
study Of the subject has made them fanatics on
swamps and led them into all manner OF queer sd
ventures They have made 1t a rule for the last
two years to follow homeseeking parties. and have
often found swamps in the neighborhood. Last
week the swamp hunters, as they have come TO
call themselves, visited the swamp lands of the
Croton district. Just south of Harmon-on-t the Hud-
SON. TIE New City,, and in this quest they met one
OF their queerest adventures.
Another party also started out last week. But
this party not in search of swamps. It went
buoyantly forth 10 find suburban homes Six hun
dred strong like the Light Brigade, onward they
Numbered in the desperate search for homes
Hal exclaimed the eager leader of the swamp
hunters, when ne heard Of this expedition, We
are OF the trail of the swamp. My brave comrades
and will once more take the road This time at
last, success shall be ours. For many weary moons
have We followed the homeseeker, and though
have found many swamps. never yet have
found that which suited exactly. Now. at
last, we shall discover the ideal swamp"
He hurriedly gathered together the other mem
bers of the desperate band and confded to them
his hopes.
Are you sure?' asked one. There is no mis-
take? A party OF suburban homeseekers?"
Yes" replied the leader.
And they went to the Croton district?''
Even so,' came the hoarse reply.
