New Way to Form a Chamber of
Commerce.

Brunswick, Ga, June 5-The vot-
ers Of Brunswick and Glynn county
were called upon to vote on an I'M
usual matter in connection with the
regular county primary. Recently a
movement has been started here for
the organization Of a new chamber
of commerce with a paid secretary,
and a few days ago a big mass meet
ing was held, at which Joseph r.
Gray, executive officer OF the Sayan-
nah Chamber or Commerce, delivered
an addrJs. A committee was ap-
pointed to take charge OF the matter.
This committee decided to ask an
appropriation Of $4,000 each from
the city council and the county com
m~isisoners for the maintenance OF the
commercial body.
In an effort to see whether the
voters favored this money being ap-
propriated by the city and county
they were given an opportunity to
express themselves at the polls. At
the bottom Of the ticket was a para
graph favoring the appropriation and
all those who were against the move
ment were requested to erase the
paragraph. The result was very en-
couraging to those who are working
for the organization OF the new body
46S votes being cast in favor OF the
appropriation and "A against It. It Is
expected that at the next meeting OF
the county commissioners and city
council the appropriations will be
made and the new chamber OF COM
merce will be organized at a big
mass meeting to be held shortly.

nditions of all those young and

conditions of all those young and
prosperous cities.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in
the last six years willingly came to
the great Valley, and if such great
transformations are experiments let
the good work go on.
In 1903 we did not have 20 thous-
and acres in cultivation, we have to-
day 125 thousand. and there is no
doubt that BY the year 1915 we will
have $50 thousand in cultivation
an average-and this figure is very
conservative, of five tons of basic
production per acre will give the
Valley exports of n million two
hundred and fifty thousand tons of
different productions. Truck, cot
ton corn, broom corn, sugar. What
in dollars?
What of our exports and imports
from Mexico?
Where, | ask you. and who is the
prophetic soul tina. can see the limit
of the freight tonnage for this Val
ley and section in the next ten years?
Evidently there is somewhere in
this world some interest adverse to
seeing reasonable freight rates and
better markets for this part of Tex
as. We, the people. of this. great
Valley are strongly Interested in be-
ing able to deliver one ton of cab
bage, one ton of onions, one ton Of
sugar one ton of broom corn and
thousands of tons of farm products
for three and five dollars per ton in
New York and other large cities,
against eight ten and fifteen dollars
per ton that we pay today TO the rail-
road companies.
Furthermore | will say that Major
Howell's report is an injustice to this
great Lower Rio Grande Valley in
so far as the repor; plainly states
that only one hundred thousand
acres could possibly be irrieated
with the water of the Rio Cyanide.
Time only an6,future development
in this VALLEY wNl prove the error
Of Major Howelrs Spinion and state-
ment. The amount of land ready
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-06-06
for cultivation today with irrigation

for cultivation today with irrigation
facilities, with canals and laterals
completed, cross the mark Of two
hundred thousand acres.
At the bankers convention in May
in San Antonio, excerpts Of Major
Howell's report were used 10 per-
suade investors that the limit Of de-
velopment is reached in this great
Valley, by quoting the opinion and
statement of this learned engineer
and especially paragraphs 40, Al, AZ
and 81 were freely discussed, and in
my opinion this was done for several
purposes.
First 10 kill the water port and
harbor project at Brazos Santiago.
Second, to persuade willing inves-
tors not to build railroads from any
point to Brownsville.
Third, to persuade the railroad
commission not to allow a common
point rate to Brownsville and VAL
ley points.
Fourth, to persuade land investors
that we only have water sufficient
for n hundred thousand acres, and
have already reached the limit In de-
velopment.
The truck shipments from this
Valley more than doubled this year,
the percentage before the end Of
June will show $50 per cen increase
for the entire Valley over last year.
| will send you the tonnage for
the fiscal year 1911 and ending June
1912.
| will conclude for today by call
ing special attention to paragraph
40 in which Major Howell in his re-
marks about three level propositions
creates a wrong impression.
1t is only one company that car
ries water on the second and third
levels, and the mount of their acre
age is only 1000 on the river level.
-50e0 on the second and 5000 On the
third level. 1 anticipate great pleas

Respectfully.

Major Howell and the board say
that doubtfulness of tonnage to be
Of the country, and experiments now
being made, make it advisable not
to improve this waterway at present.
In separate tables | have the hon
or to submit to your careful consid-
Grafton a full and complete idea Of
conditions In 1904, and also present
conditions.
Experimenting? There is no ar
gument against such an assertion.
Edison is a success. still he is exper-
imenting. The United States is the
greatest experimental garden of the
earth, and | have no fear of contra
diction that n thousand years
from today we will still be expert
menting. AS a fact last year this
Valley exported twenty-five thous-
and bales Of cotton: thousands of
cars Of cabbage, onions. broom corn,
sugar. and every imaginable variety
of vegetables, and it proves to any
sane man who stduies coalitions in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley and sec
ton, that the freight tonnage of the
Valley and region is beyond possible
computations.
That a water port at Brazos San
tiago is needed is an undisputed fact.
/ will no deny that experimenting is
going on. For instance, we have at
Brownsville at present two large
bank buildings finished, the Mer-
chants National and the First Ma
ton bank, each cost one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Each Of
those banks show over one million
dollars Of deposits. We have twenty
banks in the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley.
A two hundred and fifty thousand
dollar court house.
Brownsville has one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars of street paw
ing.
A new market house and city hall
and many other private enterprises.

railroad for wholesale merchants.
