RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.

Before final adjournment, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted by the delegates to the
Midwinter Convention:
Realizing the Importance of the
horticultural industry in Texas, and
its bright future, we feel that every
thing possible should be done for its
encouragement. The horticultural de-
partment of the A. and NJ. College
has stood sponsor for this great in
dustry in its varied branches and
while it has done a great work it has
been greatly handicapped by lack of
funds. be it Therefore,
Resolved, By the Texas Horticul-
tural Society, Texas Nurserymen and
the Texas Nut Growers, that we ask
the Legislature during its present
session to make more liberal apprO-
priation for the support of this i'm
pOrtant department.
The ladies attending the midwinter
meeting of the Horticultural Society
Nut Growers and Nurserymen' AS
sOciations have been treated most
royalty by the good ladies of
Brownsville and desiring to express
their high appreciation of these cour-
tesies, therefore, be it,
Resolved, That the thanks of this
convention be extended to the ladies
of Brownsville for the many acts of
kindness shown us by the ladies.
Resolved, That the most hearty
and grateful thanks of the Mid-Win-
ter convention of Horticulturists Nut
Growers and Nurserymen at Browns
vile. are rendered to the ladies of
Brownsville for the splendid decora-
lions of our convention hall. evidenc-
ing thereby the most earnest and cor
dial interest in the convention and
for their most courteous attentions
to the ladies in our party.

mercial Club of the Lower Rio

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS 1909.
THE CONVENTION.

The greatest convention event ever
occurring in this Valley was he mid
winter convention of the three great
societies which have honOred Browns
vile with their presence this week
The Herald feels that the entire COM
munity has gained greatly by having
been hostess to a body of men OF
such high standing and intelligence,
and that the entire Valley will be
equally as much the gamer AL
though this has been the first time
that the town has been called upon
to be hostess ito so large a conven-
ton yet, it is probably not too much
to say that Brownsville has acquit-
ted herself creditably. At least, she
has tried to do her best.
To the visitors. on this eve of their
departure, The Herald can truly say,
they have been more than welcome.
Their visit has been a source of pride
and pleasure to our people, and all
Join The Herald in expressing sin
cere wish that they may come again

FLYING MACHINE
FOR BROWNSVILLE
SAN ANTONIO INVENTOR MAY
BUILD ONE HERE.
Owner of Machine Tested at San
Antonio, Brother of Machinist of
This City, Wants to Come Here to
Construct Machine.

The city of Brownsville may en-
Joy the distinction of having an
airshlp that will really fly built
within her limits. Everyone here
has been interested recently in
reading about the airship that was
built at San Antonio and made its
fight at Fort Sam Houston a short
time ago. The inventor of this
machine, Prentiss Newman, arrived
in Brownsville last night. He is a
brother of NJ. A. Newman, who is
employed at the Rio Grande Ma
chine and Repair shops at Browns
Vile.
The accident which happened
to the Newman machine when
it was first tested at San Antonio
has necessitated its being rebuilt,
and the inventor states that he may
come to Brownsville to build his
new machine. provided sufficient
inducements be offered. Mr.. New
man, the machinist of this city,
wrote urging his brotker to come
here to do the work, in order that
he might be able to assist in its
construction. In reply, the in
ventor wrote that he would
prefer to build his aeroplane at
Brownsville, provided the sum of
81, 500 could be raised to complete
it. His brother then wrote urging
the inventor to come, as he had
been encouraged to believe that the
enterprise could be financed here.
Mr. Newman, the inventors, states
that he can get the backing at San
Antonio, he writes, but would
come to Brownsville in preference,
if the amount could be secured
here. An effort is being made to
secure the necessary backing for
the project here, and, if it sue
ceeds, the aeroplane will be built
at Brownsville.
Mr.. Newman's machine is con-
sidered in some respects enc of the
best inventions of the kind, and its
final success is said to be assured.
The inventor is a native Texan,
and the entire state would have
cause to be proud, should he sue
coed in producing an aeroplane
which would compete with those
now in process of being tested.
The entire world is interested in
these experiments at aerial naviga-
ton, and the inventor of a really
practical air machine will win
worldly wide renown.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT AB-
.SOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.

Now that Brownsville has begun
to take on city airs,it is high time she
should have those improvements
which are essential concomitantts in
the making of a real city. First of
these-as every one admits-is a
sewer system. The people have near
ly all declared that we should have
sewers. by all means The city faith
ers have said that the sewers shall
be installed The thing can be done.
1t should be done without delay.
Brownsville cannot afford to have
the stranger within her gates speak
scornfully of her lack of such a
very necessary Improvement The
present city government cannot af-
ford to be held responsible any long
er for the woeful lack of this great
modern utility 1t is needless to
say the city has no funds. The city
has an absurdly low tax rate, and,
while some city property has been
valued somewhat high for tax pur-
poses, the great bulk of the property
is still valued too low. If Browns
vile is to step forward and take the
proud position of the metropolis of
this great Valley, she must do so
now Tomorrow it may be too late.
Without civic improvements, it is
useless to aspire to such greatness
but, with a progressive govern
menT and citizenship that is lib
eral and public-spiritd enough not
to begrudge a fair proportion of its
income for the purpose of making
the town what it should be, there
is rcthing in the line of civic
achievement to which Brownsville
may not aspire.
