The great development in the Low

years has made quite a change in the
map of Texas. The many new towns
that are shown in this region on the
latest maps of the state are enough
TO make one rub his eyes and look

Well; just the same let US wait
little while until the iron horse is
heard snorting over that Down The

THE SOUTH TEXAS GAR-
DENER.S ARE COMING.

On July % and %, Brownsville
will have the pleasure once more of
entertaining the South Texas Garden
ers, who will hold their annual meet
IngSat the South Texas Gardens on
the days named. The Herald hardly
need suggest that Brownsville should
be prepared to give these always well
come visitors a hearty greeting and
TO extend them fitting entertainment
while here. The citizens of Browns
lille are proud to have the Gardeners
as their guests at least once each
year The South Texas Garden is the
official home of this splendid body
of representatives of the agricultural
Interests of South Texas, and Browns
Vile is the proud home of both
Therefore it will be a pleasure for our
people to show to the Gardeners how
glad we are to have them with us
The time is short, however, in which
to prepare such entertainment as
should be extended to our expected
visitors. Therefore no time should be
lost in making arrangements for the
event. Plans should be adopted at
once and the necessary steps taken
TO insure the success of whatever pro-
gram may be decided upon.

The national campaign against flies
is wisely enlisting the schools in the
cause. The schools offer a most ad-
vantageous opportunity for educat-
ing the people in matters of santa
tion and hygiene in general. Not
only are the future men and women
OF the nation in the schools today,
but through these children the war
fare against the poison-footed fly
may be carried at once into the
homes Of the land. The mothers who
may be too busy to read the papers
or to attend lectures on sanitation
may learn from the mouths of their
little ones of the great danger of
death dealing disease being trans
mitted by the filthy house-fy, and
thus be induced to guard against it.

If the Houston Plumbers team has
any good men, they either left them
at home or were throwing off in yes
terday's game, although it is possible
that the visitors were tired after their
trip. Any way, it is to be hoped they
may do better in the remaining two
games of the series with the Brownies
for on the part of the Plumbers, yes
terday's was about as poor an exhi-
bition of the national game as ever
was witnessed in Brownsville. The
score was Is to in favor of the
Brownies The Plumbers played as
if.they had learned the game from a
correspondence school. They were ut
terly unable to handle the numerous
bunts of the Brownies and made in

artist for the visitors, was easySpick-
ings for the locals, they getting II
hits off him. Three pitchers were
used by the locals, Taft, Brown and
Palm Taft went into the game I'M
der a disadvantage, his pitching arm
being very sore and on this account
was forced to retire in the fourth.
Little Buster" Browne was then put
in the box, pitching three innings. As
he was due to twirl today's game, he
was relieved by Palm in the 9th. In
the third, Deidesheimer went to left
in place of Brown. In the sixth,
Brown went to left to relieve Palm,
the latter going to the pitchers box,
Brown being relieved in left by Pos
sum Bill'' in the 8th. The Plumbers
also shifted their team several times,
using in all II players. The Brown
les put up a good exhibition of base
ball, making only one error which
was of little consequence. Neider-
man at short did not get a single
chance during the game, but he did
splendid work with his stick as in
fact did all the rest of the locals
The Plumbers were entirely out
cIassed at every stage of the game
AS for the Brownies well, it looked
more like Marathon races on their
part than base running.

Big John" Palm pitched a good
game, not allowing the visitors to
make hit, although he issued free

zacha played in hard luck although
he played hard. One sacrifice, he
should have had by all means, but
Griffith, on. first, ran like a demo-
cratic candidate for president and
was killed at second.
The Brownies seem to have elm
mated that boneheaded playing which
characterized their work until very
recently.
Little Buster Brown did some
good stick work, as well as pitching.
When it comes to a second sacker,
Toles is a top notcher. 1t is a rare
occurrence for a ball to get between
first and second.
When Sambo Bell shifts his wad of
chewing gum from his right jow1 to
his left look out for a hit. He did

THE RESPECTIVE ROUTES.
Taken by Peary and Cook in Dashes to
the North Pole.

The following brief description of the
routes taken by Peary and Cook will
be of interest:
Cook crossed Ellesmere Land in
northwesterly direction, thence through
hansen strait and, leaving Cape Hub
bard on the left. struck straight for the
pole. Returning, he worked even
farther west passing west of Axal
Heiberg Land, thence skirting the
south shore OF Jones sound and cross
ing it to Ellesmere Land, where he re-
manned for several months. From his
camp on Ellesmere Land he headed
directly east to Annootok. Peary's
route lay from Cape Sheridan to Cape
Moss. thence by a westerly curve to
the pole. Returning. his course was
more direct, but many miles to the east
of the up course This explains why
Peary did not strike Cooks trail on
the polar sea.
