BOOM THE FAIR.

The Midwinter Fair season is APP
preaching rapidly. This suggests the
interesting question of whether and TO
what extent we are boosting the fair.
Some people are boosting it. The mails
are being crowded with the fair supple
ments. People are coming daily to The
Herald office, where copies of the Fair
News are kept, neatly folded and ready
to be stamped and addressed, and they
are mailing them to friends all over the
country. Is there anything else that can
be done? Well, YES; mention the fair
TO the stranger within the gates. Call
his attention to this unique Valley in
stitution known as the Midwintcr Fair.

of the Fair News. Advise him to 20

Immediately placed the resolution en-
closed therein in the hands of Congress

that he give me a hearing before the
River and Harhor Committee with the
view Of having them put a provision
in the next bill for Il survey, as re
quested.

capped unless we can first secure 4 faV-
orablc report from the Engineering De
partment upon the proposition to I'M
prove Braz0S Island, and secure favor
able action by Congress upon the same.
in other words, it would be useless
to construct a channel from Brazos
Santiago to Brownsville, nine feet deep,
if boats then could not get ont to sea
from BrazrS Island. it would be like
building a good road and then closing
up one end of it.
II have tried by letter and by CONVEX
sation with citizens of your community
TO impress upon YOU all the very great
Importance of securing a favorable re
mort on the survey ordered in the last
bill for deep water ut Brazos Island.
II understand that Col. Richie Will

siGer the ACCESSIBILITY of making an dp-
Dr0priation to begin the work. when
they make up their bill for the present
Congress. but from what | can learn
from the Engineering Department, this
