SAMPLE MEXICAN WAR STORY.

A sample of the veracity of re-
ports being published in interior
Mexican papers relative to the re-
bellion is that given to the readers
OF Gil Bias of Mexico City the other
day. stating that a band of one
thousand rebels under the leadership
OF Gen. Romulo Cuellar and his two
sons had taken every town in Tam
aulipas. The fact is, there has been
no disturbance in Tamaulipas worthy
OF notice. while General Cuella is in
Brownsville and has been here for
months. He was seen on the street
this week. Thus do the people of
Mexico feed upon the veriest sensa-
tional rot, and suffer Unnecessary
scares because of the temporary
mania which afflicts some of the
editors or news correspondents of the
republic.

Brownsville ladies did

Brownsville ladies did promise
once upon a time to establish a rest
room, where families of our farmer
friends might have opportunity to
rest when they come to town to do
shopping or attend to other business,
or for pleasure. The enterprise died
a-bornin' for lack of encourage
ment perhaps. Whatever the cause,
the ladies would do both own and
couhtry~a-vaitab4e service by reyiv-
ing the mater and pushing it through
to a successful issue. Every up-to-
date town provides such a rest room,
which is kept generally by the ladies
of the town and who secure contri-
buttons from the local merchants TO
maintain it. Brownsville a not do
too much to encourage its farm
friends and to make itself attractive
to them.

RECEIVER TAKES CHARGE
OF IRRIGATION COMPANY
Brownsville Canal System Resources
Will be Conserved for the Benefit
of Creditors.

Richard E. Brooks, jr., Of Houston
who has been appointed receiver of
the Brownsville Irrigation company,
arrived yesterday and has taken
charge of the company's affairs. Mr..
Brooks was named receiver Tuesday
by the district court at Houston,
under an agreement between the
debtor company and it's creditor, the
Southern Trust company. He is
under $4,000 bond for the faithful
performance of his duties.
The suit by the Southern Trust
company was filed in the Houston
court March 4, 1912. The complaint
alleged deterioration of the property
and that the appointment of a re-
ceiver was necessary in order to
properly handle the business and
protect it's creditors. The Browns
vile Irrigation company, Lon C. Hill,
Travis Holland and the Equitable
Life Insurance company were named
as defendants. The claim of the
plaintiff is based on a six-months
note for $4,000, dated June g.,
1911. signed by Lon C. Hill and Sc
cured by the properties of the COM
pany. An Indebtedness of $4,000
owing to- the Equitable Life Insur-
INC company is alleged by the plain
tiff to be secondary to its claim.
The Brownsville Irrigation COM
pany property comprises 3,445 acres
located within five miles of Browns
vile and all of the machinery and
water rights of the company. This
was the first big irrigation canal
built in the Valley, being known as
the rice canal. 1t was designed pri-
marily for the operation Of an ex-
tensive rice proposition. The rice
industry proved a failure the third
year, and from that time on .he
property began to go down. The
original owners, being seized with a
bad case of cold feet, mortgaged the
property to the limit and finally sold
it.
The property is said to comprise
one of the finest water rights in the
entire Valley. The canals was plan
ned to water 10000 TO 10000 acres
Of land. and onc it gets over the
rough place at which it has been
stalled. it is believed that, in con-
junction with the drainage system
now being constructed in that sec
ton, this canal will yet prove one Of
the. most profitable in the Valley.
There are several thousand acres
of fine farm land under cultivation
along the canal. and, with efficient
operation of the system, the planters
will help to pull the concern out of
debt and put it on its feet.
