of the engineering work, while discuss

ed for setbacks, it will be ready early in
1914"
Col. Goethals was enthusiastic over
the showing made the past six months
at Gatun and Culebra- He figures that
the great obstacles, if any occur. will
be at Culebra, as the rainy season is
liable to cause more landslides, which
will necessarily delay the work some
what. However, the engineering corps
has been planning against such set
backs and many of the most danger

are being blasted and the earth and
rocks hauled away the same as from
the bottom of the cut. This procedure
will be followed throughout the Culebra

finished.

Gail Borden, ST., came to Texas in
1928, and settled in Fort Bend county,
his league of land being. in the famous
bend from which the county takes its
name. He and his sons. John P, Thorn
as, Gail, jr., and Paschal, took an active
part in all of the stirring scenes OF
their time, not only as pioneers to sub
due the wilderness by manual labor un-
til they made it blossom and produce.
but helped to pave the way also to
that higher civilization which we now
enjoy, as soldiers to help fight the bait
ties against all enemies, as statesmen
to raise their voices in wise council
while the ship of state was being guild
ed to a safe and secure haven.
During the Texas revolution of 1895
John P. Borden and his brother, Paschal,
belonged to the company of Capt. Mos
ley Baker, and were in the heroic fight
made by 'Bakef;s men at San Felipe,
by which they prevented the Mexicans
from crossing there, and forced them
to abandon the attempt and make the
passage at Fort Bend. Later, the two
brothers were in the decisive battle of
San Jacinto, John =. as lieutenant in
Capt Bakers company. After the free

wisely and faithfully executed, appoint

tnat more Judicious selection could
not have been made.
Founded First NewSuaper
Thomas and Gail Borden were the
founders of the Texas Telegraph. the
first permanent newspaper published in
Texas, first making its appearance at
San Felipe in 1885. Then the press and
type were removed to HARRISBURG in
1886, on the approach of the Mexican
army, and they were there working off
a form of the paper when the advance
of Santa Ana's army arrived ar that
place. and they were compelled to aban-
don the work and flee for their lives
The type and press were thrown into
the bayou and the printing office burn
ed by the Mexicans.
After the victory of San Jacinto the
Telegraph was renewed at Columbio
but was with the government trans,
ferred to the town of Houston. and soon
afterwards the paper was sold to
Messrs. Moore and Kruger.
Fought mt San Antonio
Thomas Borden was a lieutenant in
Capt. Birds company in 1885, and COM
manded the company in the absence of
Capt Bird when San Antonio was
stormed by the Texans under Col Ben
Milan and Col. Francis W. Johnson.
He was also the inventor of the steam
gage. He was older than his brother.
Gail. and besides being a partner in the
publication of the Telegraph, was also
in charge of the survey and sale of
lots in Galveston, and died in that city
in 1877.
