BIG DISPARITY IN
TELEGRAPH TOLLS
Mr.. Holt Takes Steps to Reduce
Cost Of Service Between Browns
vile and Points in Mexico.

Complaining that there is a great
disparity in the telegraph tolls
charged to Mexico City from Mata-
mOros and those to Mexico City from
Brownsville, by way of the Western
Union and Mexican Telegraph and
Cable company, Galveston, James w.
Holt of this city has entered into
correspondence on the subject that
he believes will be of benefit to
Brownsville-Mexico telegraph pat
rons.
He has received a letter from
Newcomb Carlton of New York, vice
president of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, advising him that
THE complaint has been taken up
with the Mexican Telegraph and
Gable company, they replying that
the matter is having the attention
Of the company with the view Of ar
ranging some relief from the dispar-
ity in existing frontier rates.
A short while back Mr.. Holt had
occasion to send a telegram to Mex
leo City. Upon inquiry at the West
ern Union Office he learned that the
tariff would be $3.50. Rather than
pay this amount he sen the tele-
gram to Matamoros by messenger,
and filed it over the Federal Line
of Mexico at a cost of so cents.
After paying the messenger a fee Of
% cents he found that he had saved
s1,55.
Taking account of this great dis
parity Mr.. Holt considered it worth
while to take the matter up with the
Western Union officials, urging the
fact that Brownsville is not far dis
tant from the geographical center Of
Mexico, and that the building of the
International bridge and the propos-
ed deepening Of the harbor promise
10 mdhe lulS d punt lIOn WHICH Il
large part of international business
of Mexico will be transacted. He
suggested the location of a Western
Union Office in Matamoros. or che To-
cation Of a Federal Lines office in
this city.
A reply from Mr.. Newcomb stated
that the authorized rate from
Brownsville to Mexico City over the
Western Union is SLIGO for ten
words and IL cents for each addi-
tional word over ten, and that his
company's share of this is % cents
for the first ten words and 2 cents
for each word over ten. Mr.. New
comb suggested that he thought the
Western Unions share about as low
as it could be. He offered his CO.
Operation, however, which resulted
in his taking the question up with
the Mexican Telegraph and Cable
company. who have the matter un-
der consideration.

GREATST OF GAMES.

The origin Of base ball is lost in
the may l%abyrinths of prehistoric
antiquity. That it is older than the
Bible there can be no doubt, for the
Good Book starts with the words,
I'm the big inning" A little furth-
er on we are given some particulars,
showing that Eve "stole first Adam
''stole second" and the serpent slid
home Genesis VI, 4, reveals the
astonishing fact that there were
Giants in the earth in those days"
Job alludes to the children Of base
men," xxx, s, and in Isaih XIII,
IS, you will find the words, "He will
surely and violently turn and Toss
thee like a ball into a large country"
Nor did the interest in the game
lessen with the advance Of the cen
turtles. Catch and hold" said John
Haywood, about 1865. Shakespeare
hints at the game frequently. ITO
WHAT DdSe uses we may return,
Horatio," and "a hit, a very palpable
hit" are familiar quotations from
Hmlet. In Macbeth he says, Fair is
foul, and foul is fair and in Rich
ard III, pitchers have ears"
Others famous authors of former
days refer Enthusiastically to base ball.
Afraid to strike" says Pope; DE
layed to strike" says Milton. Thorn
as Campbell, in "Lochiel's Warn
ing" uses the words, With his back
to the field" evidently referring to
some famous pitcher Of his time, and
the Earl of Chesterfield tells Of "a
great rough diamond" But why
multiply these instances? The game
OF base ball always was, is now, and
ever shall be, the greatest of games.

as he had never yet visited the far
famed Delta of the Rio Grande. He
stated that possibly we might in
duce the two committees of the Sc
nate and house on irrigation to come
also. The secretary, Mr.. n. j. Lear
was requested to communicate with
the governor and try to arrange a
date that would be convenient for
him and the committees to come. 1t
is hoped that we may be able to in
Iduce many notable men to be at the
convention, including Mr.. Bryan who
has a winter home in the valley. Mr..
Garner has already expressed his
hope to be present.
We believe that Mr.. Yoakum and
many Of the prominent officials Of
the Frisco will be with us as we are
assured at all times of their co-o~
Grafton in everything that is for good
of the valley. 1t is expected that wher
this convention meets that an as
s~ociation will be formed and men B.
power and influence will be put =
charge that will insure success. 1t i
expected that all parts of the Delta
will be visited and we invite the CT
operation of all the commercial anF
business organizations and all Of the
Valley.
There is no politics in this move
ment. We realize that under pres
ent conditions only a 1.-THE Of the
fertile lands of the valley can be
watered, but if the flood waters are
conserved every part of the valley
from Ell Paso to Bagdad can be irri-
gated. 1t has a climate and soil not
excelled by any other in the whole
world. The brigand and the filibus-
ter and his haunts will disappear
forever. With climate and soil unex-
celled when irrigated the valley i'll
be literally a land of Goshen where
milk and honey will flow, and where
the tiller of the soil can rest
peace under his own vine and fig
tree. Forts and standing armies will
be no more necessary than they are
on our Northern frontier. The granite
and cement held with bonds Of steel
will bind TIE two great republics in
bonds of peace.
We expect to have the conserva-
ton accomplished jointly by the two
governments, Mexico and the United
States. If the two governments should
accomplish this great work we feel
assured thai IT, would forever remove
the danger Of friction on the frontier.
indeed it would forever remove ;he
danger Of war with its tremendous
sacrifice Of life and property. When
this great proposition shall be pro-
perIy presented we look forward with
confidence to its acceptance by tn
two great republics.
The above was adopted and the un-
dersigned were requested to submit
it to the Brownsville Herald for pub
