MAIL PROBLEM
MAY BE SOLVED
By RAIL, WATER, WAGON VIA
ISABEL AND RAYMONDVILLE.
Secretary MagiIIs Wire to Superin-
tendent Gaines of Railway Mail
Service May Result In Such Ar
rangcment for Immediate Relief.

A telegram was received last night
by Postmaster R. B. RentfrO from
Superintendent Gaines of the rail-
way mail service at Fort Worth in
structing him to secure some means
for handling the mail in and out Of
this city. In response to this mes
sage, a telegram was this morning
sent to Mr.. Gaines by the local post
office authorities stating that ar
rangemSnts could be made with CO.
bolini Brothers of this city to carry
the mail by water from Raymond
vile to Isabel by wagon and boat
and from Isabel to Brownsville over
the Rio Grande railroad. AS yet no
answer has been received to this
telegram, but it is thought by the
pOstoffice authorities that, unless
some arrangements are made by the
railroad company to bring the mail
into the city by some other means,
Uncle Sam will close the deal with
CobOlini Brothers.
This arrangement is the result of
a telegram sent to superintendent
Gaines by Secretary MagiIl of the
Commercial Club several days ago.
MI MagllI has found that the mail
can be transported from here to
Isabel by rail, thence by boat up
the Laguna Madre to a point oppo-
site Raymondville and from the
landing to the latter place by wagon
and the delayed mail at Raymond
vile brought back the same way,
the cost for the round trip between
Isabel and Raymondville being
only s25. The entire trip can pro-
badly be made in a day. If the
postoffice authorities agree to the
plan this method will be used until
the railroad is again in operation.
Sundays &hd Mondays mails for
points on this end OF tie Browns
vile road, aggregating about a ton,
are now at Lyford Tuesdays mail,
weighing 700 pounds is at Raymond
lille and today's mail will also stop
there tonight

When yen hear reports detrimental

1t is better to be charitable when
any one is in trouble. Today it is
some one else's boy or girl; tomor-

they are exposed t. the long and
weary competition of real life.
They lack endurance, or they fail
in that energy of purpose which
no native "smartness" will replace.

Other Western Varieties

The success of an orchard is dependent upon the
judgment displayed in the selection of varieties
the profit paying kind. And profit in fruit growing
means quality. Quality and color the two
things that the great fruit consuming public pay
their money for. That's certan-you can't deny it.
Increase your orchard profts-do it by planting
the splendid tested special of Stark Trees. Begin
now-dont wait until next season. Plant now
than you would be by waiting months or a year.
Here is brief list of varieties highly adapted
to western conditions-the kind that will make a
model orchard which will yield profitable returns.
