stinted In his praise OF the Rio Gran"e
valley and Of its towns.
You people are rustlers and your
rustling seems to be having results.
Here In Brownsville you have oppor-
tunities that no other town in South
Texas seems 70 have. Why almost
without moving a finger you will in
the course OF a few years be a great
city and with the present bunch OF
town boosters az the wheel. the older
Texas cities viii have to look 20
their laurels.
Another place that I have just
visited that has made a hit with me
Is the little city OF San Benito. They
tell me that that city Is only about
three years old. and just look az II.

further north that are five or six
times as old that have not made
near the strides that San Benifo has.

(From Mondays JOurnal.)
There was very heavy run of all
classes of livestock In the North
Portland market today and trade
therefore started very slow
While there was little pressure no.
ticeabe in the general situation, the
market was by no means strong for
either hogs or cattle. Buyers were
in no hurry to purchase cattle this
morning and extra fine stuff failed
to attract their attention until later
in the day.
Some very good California stuff
was available but even this did not
move out quickly as it would a week
or 10 days ago.
Leading killers have recently pur-
chased considerable supply of cat
tie at country points and outside of
the regular yard business. This cat
tie is now coming forward and there

ton that would not be the case were
killers not quite fairly well supplied

Portland over Sunday was not quite
