of the old adobe houses are still
standing but have been plastered on
the outside so they do not show their
construction. The building that it is
alleged was occupied by General Tay-
lor as headquarters in the city is used
for laundry. although this is not
absolutely authenticated. The town
lies on the Bay of Corpus Christi,
which bay was discovered, they tell
you. by LaSalle. the great Catholic

this claim.
They owned Ia, 600, 600 acres, said
to be the largest ranch IN the world.
but of course this is an error. There
is one in Mexico, right across the Rio
Grande from FL Paso. that is many
times larger, owned by former gov
ernor of Chihuahua. Another place
of interest pointed out to the travel

The city contains about 10000
people. about 1900 of them being
Mexicans. Some few OF the Mexi-
cans rise to Importance, but most
of them occupy the position the ne
groes do in other sections of the
south, and you find only few negroes
in Corpus Christi. OF course there is
no race prejudice against the Mexi-
cans, as they are counted white peo-
pie. They live mostly in section by
themselves and do not own any land
to speak of. even the lots occupied by
their "shacks' being the property of
white people. Their cemetery is a
remarkable sight to one unused to
their manners and customs. They
do not pay so much attention to their
friends while living but make great
ado after death. Almost every grave
has box planted over it. where
flowers are planted, and hundreds of
paper wreaths occupy places on the
graves. The boxes often are full of
growing flowers and. being land of
almost perpetual summer, they are
usually in bloom. The cemetery
looks like perfect riot of paper and
real flowers and wreaths and decora-
tions.
