A PAVING SUGGESTION.
Editor of The Herald:

Editor of The Herald:
see in your paper of Tuesday
morning a suggestion for paving adj
ditional streets in the city. 1t oc-
CURED to me that this is a question
for some consideration. First, |
wish to say, that | would like to see
every street in Brownsville paved,
but as this is out of the question for
some years to come, let us pave the
streets where it will do US and the
people who come TO Brownsville the
most good.
Cameron county is now building
the most costly and beautiful build
ing in the Rio Grande Valley, name
ly, its court house.
Now, it occurred TO me. that by
paving 18th and II street from
Elizabeth street to and around the
court house square, the city will do
itself proud in many ways. | will
cite the following benefits and rea-
sons why the paving of these streets
is of more Importance than any other
streets at the present time.
First-It will make a loop or
driveway for our citizens to show
visitors our beautiful court house.
Second-It will give the farmer
coming to town with his truck the
longest haul over paved streets in
hauling his truck TO the cars.
Third-In summer, there isn't a
street used more by general travel
than 18th and 18th streets by people
going to and coming from the Rio
Grande station.
Fourth-There are a great many
business houses in that end Of town,
and consequently a heavy freight
traffic.
Fifth-Both railroads go owe
these streets who will stand a part of
the expense of paving, making it the
cheapest to the city to pave these
streets. Respectfully,
B. G. STEGMAN,
Brownsville, May %. 1912.

Houston Market Review.

Houston, Tex, May 2S-The po-
tato movement is assuming large
proportions in the Houston market.
Result is a steady decline in prices.
The first of the week the price had
declined to 81 per bushel, while it
is predicted that in a few days 1t
will dop TO 20 and soc. Likewise
vegetables are getting SO plentiful
they are Cutting the market. Gu
Icumbers and squash, for instance,
are too numerous for the trade. Tex
as tomatoes are replacing the Mex
lean variety and they are meeting
a ready demand. They are the pro-
duet principally of the Brownsville
country.
Texas peaches are beginning to
move and the latter part of this
week the market will be well sup
piled. The peach price rules about
$1.25 per crate. Indications point
TO a large crop.
Larger chickens are in demand on
the Houston produce row. Too many
broilers are the complaint of the
commission merchants. For broilers
50 to SO per dozen is the best price
obtainable to the trade. Hens are
quoted at $50 to Sc to the trade
and are going rapidly. Receipts are
fairly liberal for the season.
A feature of the week in the mar
kets is the cotton department.
Throughout last week the best of
weather conditions have prevailed
over the entire belt, which allowed
planting to be brought to completion
over a large area. More than ordi-
nary good stands are reported as the
result of the moist soil and season.
able warm temperatures. In the
earlier sections chopping out of the
crop progressed at a rapid state.
Admirable weather has prevailed
all over Texas for every kind Of
plant life, reports from the various
sections show. Cotton is well up and
the corn crop shows the best predic-
tions in years.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1912.
THE GALVESTON CAUSEWAY.

The formal dedication to public
uses last Saturday of the great cause
way which links Galveston by bonds
of steel and concrete TO the mainland
marked the conclusion Of an achieve
uent Of which the whole country
may we'll be proud. AS an engineer
ing feat it stands among the won
ders of the age. The causeway is
made of earth, concrete and steel,
and Is over two miles in length. 1t
is built across hat arm OF the sea
known as Galveston bay which sepa-
rates Galveston island from the
mainland. The people of the city,
the county, and the railroad COM
panies have borne the expense of
constructing it. The cast was
$4,000 900. The width Of the struc-
ture at the place where the deeper
--aters of the bay is spanned by steel
arches, and where the drawbridge is
placed, is As feet; in other places it
is sixty feet wide.
All the railways that enter the
city will go over 1t, and there will
be a street car track, a carriage way,
and a way for foot passengers.
THE causeway will FORM says
the News. IAN open, free highway
from Galveston to all the state of
Texas"
1t requires no particular wisdom
to understand that the completion
of this magnificent structure must
mean great things not only to the
cities of Houston and Galveston
which are brought closer together by
this highway. but to all the state of
Texas. 1t makes the greatest sea-
port of the South more accessible
than It has been heretofore to the in
land of the ceuntryy, which
will be good for the country as well
as for Galveston.

H REVIEW ANNUAL.

A credit alike to the Brownsville
high school and to the town Itself,
as well as to the clever students
whose production it is, the Review
Annual is at last off the press.
The magazine comprises thirty
two pages, filled with choice reading
matter, nearly all of which was fur
nished by high school students.
Articles by Prof. C. G. Hallmark,
the school superintendent, Mrs.
Clearwater one of the teachers, and
Mrs. Sketlon, a member of the
Mothers Club, constitute the ex-
ceptions. Conforming to the colors
of the class of -, which are green
and gold, the cover is of a dark
green, the title being printed in
gold and the body of the magazine
is printed on a handsome sepia-
tinted, double-coated book paper. A
dozen half-tone pictures, including
the faculty and the various classes
add greatly to the attractiveness, of
the publication.
The Review has been published
weekly throughout the past two
school years as a department of The
Herald, K. S. Styles being the edi-
tor the first year aud VIM. d. Bray
for the past year. Each class of the
high school was represented by a
reporter, who contributed weekly
class reports. This has been not
only a very creditable work, but also
constituted a very interesting, de-
partment of The Herald. 1t has kept
the school in close touch with the
citizens, and has served to promote
general interest in the school work.
The Review Annual may be called
truly the browning effort of the edi-
tor and his corps of assistants. Mr..
Bray especially deserves congratula-
tions upon his success in editing the
magazine. Only those familiar with
the very laborious work of the edi-
tor ear actually conceive how really
big was the task which this sixteen
year-old boy undertook. The sue
cess which he has achieved should
be measured by the difficult nature
of the work with the added fact
that, at the same time, he was keep
ing up with his class work, passing
examinations, and finally graduating
with the distinction of being his
class salutatorian. Brownsville should
be proud of the work this high scnool
boy and his classmates have accom-
plished.
The Review Annual will be ready
for distribution by tomorrow, when
the final touch of adding the class
colors. in ribbons, on the pages de-
voted to tNr respective classes, will
be compl ted.

Apparently about the most impor-

council, in some peoples eyes, was
the giving of the city printing con-
tract. 1t is in reality not of very
great consequence, however, in com
parison with most financial ~transac-
lions of the city. Nevertheless, it
may be worthy of note that, by &C
cepting the bid of The Herald com.

sixty percent of the amount of the
