In nearly every city or town where
the use of explosives by individuals
was absolutely prohibited there were
no accidents reported. In others,
where the discharge of explosives was
permitted under limitations, there was
decided falling off in the number of

willie, Tex.

Brownsville, Textile most south
ern point of mainland territory in the
United States is on a sharp bend of
the Rio Grande river about 90 miles
southwest of Brownsville. The gov
ernment official survey shows that it's
latitude is 20 degrees and 9 minutes,
which places it below the most south
ern part of the peninsula of Florida,
but not as far south as Key West.
The spot is marked by a group of pic
turesque Mexican ranch buildings
with their thatched roofs. Growing
upon the land are groves of wild
palm trees which lend to the beauty
,f the tropical scene.
The distance between Brownsville
and the mouth of the Rio Grande in a
direct line is approximately % miles
but the river has so many curvatures
that its course between the two points
cover 10 miles, according TO the sur

river empties into the gulf it makes
a sharp bend TO the south, and this
rounded peninsula forms the most
southern mainland of the country.
Most of the territory between
Brownsville and the Rio Grande's
mouth is covered by dense wilderness
or chaparral. The soil is of primitive
richness, caused by the periodical de-
posits of silt from the streams over
flow. owing TO the inaccessibility of
the little Mexican ranch. which holds
the distinction of marking the most
southern spot, the place has been Wis.
