Bracelet Watches Popular.

The fad for bracelet watches and
mesh bags Ia Increasing. So says tho
jewelers.. despite the prophecies last
year that their popularity was on tho
wane. 1t is impossible for manufac-
turers to meet the demand for mesh
bags. The designs are innun1era BILE.
ranging from platinum and solid old
to some of the cheaper metals. such
as German silver.
Many Of the designs worked by
handicraft are exclusive and original,
with cXtravagant display Of jeweled
ornamentations.
Tiny watches are a fashionable nov.
city. A day or SO ago one of the old
est watch makers was requested by
a customer to change q key winding
watch into n stem winder. The watch
maker a%cquiesced. but vas somewhat
taken aback when the customer pro-
duced a watch having a diameter of
one-quarter Of an inch.
Another remarkably small watch
from q firm in. Geneva, Switzerland.
is Enclosed completely in a fine but
t~on-shaped pearl about one-half inch
in diameter. The price was $4,000.
Not only are women partial to the
watch bracelets. but this wear the i'm
portcrs are selling them for men. as
they prove more practical than tho
old fashioned pocket timepiece.

A PLAN TO MODIFY
ALASKAN CLIMATE
Engineer Hainsworth Suggests Clos
ing Boring Strait to Keep Out
Icebergs.

]. j. Hainsworth, who has spent
a great deal Of time as a civil engi-
neer in Alaska, has compiled a num-
Der Of statistical reports showing
the government how a great portion
of Alaska and Siberia could be re-
claimed if the Boring strait were
closed against icebergs, allowing the
Japan current to come up to the
shores Of the two countries without
having its gold effect counteracted
by the ice. Mr.. Hainsworth has
sen a copy of this report to the fed
eral government, and one to Gov
ernor Clark Of Alaska. A letter has
been received from Governor Clark
thanking him for the report.
The Author of the report says that
the closing of the strait is by no
means An impossible undertaking,
and tfat a good high fill of rock at
the mouth of the strait would pre-
vent the entrance Of the ice floes.

THE POLITICAL POT.

Guy Emerson an assistant secre-
tary of the treasury department,
paid Brownsville an official visit
during the early part of the week,
leaving Tuesday afternoon. Mr..
Emerson came especially to inves-
tigate the charges made in the
telegram SEN to Washington and
signed by a number of prominent
Brownsville citizens, in which it
was alleged that some local federal
offieeholders were guilty of per-
nicious activity in the local political
battle now being waged. Mr.. Emer-
son began his investigation in an
open and frank manner. There was
nothing suggestive of the old gum
shoe methods usually resorted to in
making such Investigations. He
called upon nearly everyone who
was at all %conversant with local
conditions. All concerned had an
opportunity to tell what they knew.
OF course, Mr.. Emerson declined to
discuss his findings officially, but he
did say that he was we'll pleased
with his visit to Brownsville and
hoped thai he might return some
time.

THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1912.
"OVERTAXED JURORS

With five million words comprised
In the evidence placed before the
jury in the Chicago packers case,
and that composed very largely Of
figures and statistical matter, it is
not surprising that the jury baked
at the work of examining the evil
dence. The average novel consists
OF about one hundred thousand
words-and novels are generally
much more readable and more I'M
derstandable than are long arrays of
facts and figures, which often ac-
tually dull a normal intellect by tir-
ing eyes and brain. The jury might
have examined a reasonable mount
of written testimony, but could
hardly be expected to wade through
such an overwhelming mas Of dry
stuff.
The folly of the court in permit
ting a jury to be swamped in this
way is plainly evident. No more
evidence should be given the jury
than is necessary to put the case
clearly before it and give both
plaintiff and defendant a fair hear
ing. The multiplication of the
jurors work by piling up so much
unnecessary written or printed evil
dence is unfair to him, and may con-
fuse him and render him incapable
of coming to a just decision upon
thestrue merits of a case.

ed to have been damaged to the eX-
Ten of $4,000 900 by freezes that
occurred in December. No one has
been heard as yet, however, to an
nounce that &c orange industry will
not pay in California. The fact is.
the range growers in the Golden
State can afford to lose an occasional
orange crop, because of the immense
profits they make when the crop
turns out all right. The same phi
losophy might apply to the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.

be. But he continued, eff every
one votes for me that have told me
they would, my strength will be con-
siderable"

improvements that have taken place
during the past two years" Here is
the letter:
Brownsville, Tex. Sept. 26, 10.
To the Board of Aldermen, +.
City of Brownsville.
Gentlemen:
would respectfully call your
atteS ion to the condition Of
our streets and alleys after
every rain, making travel al
most impossible, and the contin-
ued expense of placing the
the streets in a fit condition for
travel.
We were elected on a plat :
form which, among other pur-
poses was to pave the streets
and make all other necessary
improvements, and to this end
| would recommend that this
city call for an election to bond
itself for street Improvement,
and making cutters and ~culverts
to drain off all water.
We can obtain about $4,000
from the street and bridge fund,
as there will be collected an
nually 100000 being fifteen
cents on the one hundred dol
lars of the present taxation
C$4,200, 000). At the present
rate we are spending money in
repairs on the streets, we can
pay interest on a bond issue,
and have permanent improve
ments and will continue so
until our streets are paved, to
wait an indefinite time to ac-
cumulate the necessary money to
do this work is entirely out Of
question, we must place city
in a good condition. do it now,
and enojy the benefits of good
streets and sidewalks.
| would further recommend
that that at the tame time we
call an election for street inn
provement bonds, that an cleo
ton be had for an extension Of
water mains and additional
lights for our streets, and for
building an addition to Mar
ket hal to be used as a city hall,
with offices for all city officials,
and a council chamber, which
is very necessary 70 conduct our
city business property. For this
we a bond the city for
$4,000.
