ROAD BOND FUND
As Proposed by Cameron County
Good Roads Association - Will
Build 600 Miles of Road.

Secretary L. A. Whitney Of the
Cameron COun y Good Roads asso-
citation said Yesterday that the asso-
citation is much pleased with the ac-
tion taken by the county commits
sioners' court in calling the road
bond election. The association has
been giving much attention to the
matter, and will exert all its in
fluence in the effort to assure the

general plan for the construction Of
main and community roads over the
county, which it hopes the county
commissioners may adopt The as
sociation intends that this plan
shall be laid before the voters by
competent speakers before the cleo
tion is held.
| The general idea in mind now has
for its purpose the construction Of
about one hundred miles of main
/ road. and about five hundred miles
Of community roads in the four
commissioners precincts. The main
roads will be constructed a an e.
timated cost Of $500 per mile, and
the community roads will cost. Il Is
estimated, about $3.50. per mile.
The association will favor he
construction of one main road from
| Brownsville to the north county
line. 81 miles, one from Brownsville
to Point Isabel, % miles. one from
Barreda to Point Isabel road. 10
miles, and one from Harlingen tc
the west county line. 10 miles. The
total Of main roads would be ap-
proximately 50 miles,
These improvements would cost III
the neigh borhood of $4,000, anC
the balane OF 100000, according K
the plan favored BY the association
would be apportioned among tn
, four precincts of the county for tn
construction of community roads.
These apportionments, as intend
ed, would be about as follows
Precinct Il. the Point Isabel pre-
cinct. would be given 10 per ceni

MERCEDES DRAINAGE
SYSTEM COMPLETED
DITCH THREE MILES LONG
WHICH COST $1S.5CO.
Will Protect Mercedes from High
Water and Furnish Drainage for
Large Area Beginning Of Hi
dalgo County's Drainage System.

One OF the important drainge en-
terprises Of the Lower Rio Grarde
Valley is that which will drain the
land along the American-Rio Grande
canal in Hidalgo county, and which
at the same time will provide pro-
lection against high water for the
thriving town Of Mercedes. The
Enterprise Of that place gives the
following account Of his piec Of en-
gineering work, which has just been
completed
Last Thursday afternoon through
the courtesy Of j. p. McCane, one
Of Mercedes Industrious citizens and
contractors, We editor was given a
ride from one end Of he new drain
age ditch TO the other.
This IL one of the best moves that
has been made in this section in a
long time as it will rebound not
only 10 the good Of Mercedes di-
rectly but TO the entire section. II
means that Mercedes will be free
from high water from now on.
The work of digging this drainage
ditch was completed almost thirty
days ahead of time. Mr.. Elmore.
the contractor, was awarded the
contract on the first Of May and
agreed to have it finished by Sep
tember the first Of this year. About
the middle of May sixty teams were
set to work in four different places
and kept steadily at it until las,
Saturday afternoon, when their
work was practically completed,
with the exception Of the dam at
the head Of the ditch.
This is one Of the prettiest piecs
of dirt work seen here in long
time and does Mr.. Elmore and his
men great credit. The ditch will
take care Of many gallon OF over
flow water and will relieve the sit
uation in and around Mercedes to a
great extent.
There Is now about four feet OF
water that will be turned into the
drainage ditch some time this week,
the exact time has not been deter
mined, owing to the fact that the
American Rio Grande Land q Irri-
CATION company has some heavy ma
chinery to move to the river over
this road. When this four feet OF
water seven miles long is turned
| into this ditch a number Of the citi-
zens of Mercedes will be on hand
and have a general celebration.
The cost OF this work is S1S,5OO,
which is only a beginning or the
drainage system throughout Hidalgo
county for which $4,000 was is
sued some two years ago. The bal
ance Of the work will be started a.
soon as the engineers hand in their
estimates for the work to the county
commissioners.

A ocal snow storm visited
here last Saturday. accompanied
by little wind and it was not
very cold. That night the wind
whipped to the north and blew a
perfect gale and with the snow
continued until Sunday night.
Great drifts from ) to 10 feet
were found all over the county,
at the end of the storm and the
beautiful averaged s inches on
the level. No mail left here Mon
day nor came in, and only the
north mail departed Tuesday.
Mr. Moscript left Lamar Mon
day and came in Tuesday night,
a horseback with only the letters.
1t will be days before the regu
lar service can be resumed.

great. Sheep by the hundreds

the snow filed the creek beds
and trails and piled up against
the fences along the cap rocks,
thus creating death traps" at
every turn and a great number
of cattle perished. The JJ's are
of course the heavy losers, but
many head belonging to different
ranchmen are among the ill
fated bunch. A fortunate cir
cumstance was that intense cold

On last Saturday evening a lit

and will henceforth claim place
in their affections.
The paper contains an account
of 'blinding snow storm" that
fell over Baca Co. the week
before, to a depth of from z to IA
inches. Mails on all lines were
delayed and the storm was "a
tough visit to stock"
Reference was had to DR.. j. T.
Nicholson then of Macon, ILL.,,
who located near old Butte City
when the coyote, buffalo and
antelope grazed togather on the
plains" Later he was interest
ed in the new town OF MinneapO-
lis and practised medicine there
in 81 and 8S. The DR.. remained
away for many years but finally
saw the error of his ways" and
is again a resident of Baca Co.
Referring to W. B. Pugh a
former Springfieldite who had
returned to KY, and been elect
ed Mayor of Vanceburg, the elo-
quent Wikoff, editor of the

ly lived and done business at
Springfield. During lulls of trade
he freighted, hauled cedar posts,
broke prairie, chased antelope,
poisoned coyotes, and etc. The

proud of his advancement. "The

A certain individual has taken
upon himself the responsibility
of writing letters Soliciting as
sistance in the way of food cloth

others. The letters are a gross
Misrepresentation of the cOndi-

pie, and We're directed to parties

There are personal references to
certain reputable Citizens and in
way plainly indicating that the
writer has grudge to air. There
is also "A Rider" in the shape of

The people of this County are
always ready and willing to help
any who are in want or trouble
of any kind and the ''Old timers"

THE real pleasures of life are
not to be bought. Amusement is
for sale; but JOY comes without
price and without bargaining.
There are no figures set upon
happiness; it springs up in the
pathway like flower the seed Of
which has been waited from
some other world, The quiet,
deep joys of life, benison, like
fall from heaven upon our hearts.
None can command them, None
can corner them. You may pur-
chase assistance and interest.
but affection and love come un-
bought, unsought, unsolicited.
What wealth have you greater,
more worth to you, than the ten
der kindness, the sympathy, the
spirit Of self-giving that goes
out to you from other lives?
These assets are not on our of
flee ledgers, but on the great
ledgers of life from which our
final balances are struck they
are writ large.
Let your most cherished
friend be a woman whose COM
panionship is uplifting and eleva-
ting to your character. One who
by her pure and womanly con
versation inspires you with hope
and courage to strive to live for
something which is higher and
more noble; whose visits make
YOU bless her when she has gone,
and feel that you have been bet
tered by her coming.
Passing season, fleeting days.
How time wings it's flight. The
summer seems scarcely flown
ere autumn timeiS near it's close
How we should improve every
opportunity to do good to get
good and be good. The blessings
we intend to confer should not
be delayed. Soon the giver or
receiver may be barred the priv
ilepe. Work while it is day for
the night cometh.
