performance on bicycle that caused
all the trouble He was coasting down

from the wharf. at breakncck speed,
when hc lost control of the wheel and
rode off the end of the dock. Burke
who was standing nearby appreciated
the extent of the boys danger in an
instant. and without SO much as wait
ing 10 whip off his coat, lcaped over
board. He brought the younger lad
to The surface and with some difficulty
managed to raise him to the wharf,
badly drenchcd, but in no serious dan
ger from his cscapade. Later in the
afternoon the machine which the
cyelist had been riding was also re
covered. The hero of the occasion
was, of course, warmly complimented
both for his bravery and presence of

A RECORD IN TRUCK SHIPMENTS
TWO HUNDRED AND EiGHTY-SiX
CARLOADS FROM TIE VALLEY.
Present Conditions indicate That Last
Years Traffic Over One Rail-
road WIFE Double.

San Benito, Textile past week
has been the busiest week of the pres
ent season for truck shipments from
San Benito and probably sets a rec
ord for quantity shipments during any
one week since the opening up of the
lower Rio Grande Valley.
Eighty-five carloads OF cabbage and
one car of lettuce were sent out from
San Benito the past week, en- route
to Northern markets. With what had
already gone out, this runs the sea
sons total shipments from San Be
nito to 2S6 carloads.
The shipments are divided as fol
lows: Cabbage, 1913 carloads; lettuce,
73 carloads; mixed vegetables, 20 car
+ loads.
These figures show vastly in
creased business over that Of last year
up to this date, which was as follows;
Cabbage, 81 carloads; lettuce, so car
loads; mixed vegetables, 10 carloads;
iudhlIS q LOICtl VI I L Cal . lLdllu1Su
Practically all Of the lettuce has
been shipped, but the rush season for
cabbage will hardly be reached until
the end of some two more weeks,
when an average of approximately
twenty cars per day will be shipped
from San Benito, seeking outlet in the
upstate and Northern markets.
Under present prospects San Benito
bids fair to double her last years req
ord, at least of car lot shipments.

Escape Of student who fell down
the Lutschine gorge in the Alps but
was caught on a rock and remained
suspended for two days and nights,
recalls to the London Chronicle an
other grundelwald escape of which
Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from
the chalet above the Eismeer, one of
Stephens guides, Michel, reached the
edge of cliff where wooden rail
guarded the path. Unfortunately the
rail left off prematurely, and Michel
had been drinking. So he stepped
over and fell on hard rock nearly 100
feet below He lay there all night
and next morning got up and walked
home, sober and whole. Stephen sub
mits two morals for choice: Don't
get drunk when you have to walk
along the edge of an Alpine cliff" and
Get drung if you are likely to fall
over an Alpine cliff"

CUBAN SUGAR IS
GIVEN 4 BOOST
ATTORNEY GENERALS DECISION
ADVERSE TO THE CLAIMS OF
LOUISIANA PRODUCERS.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Observation-Disclosures sugar grow
ers lost the second round Of their
fight to keep up the duty on sugar
when Attorney General MCReynolds
handed down an opinion that Cuban
sugar is entitled to enter the United
States at all times during the life of
the present reciprocity treaty on pay
ment Of duty of 20 per cent less
than other sugars.
The Louisianians contended there
was conflict in the new tariff law
between its reaffirmation of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, which provides for
a 20 per cent preferential for Cuban
sugar, and that part of the law which
provides for a general reduction of the
duty on sugar of % per cent, beginning
March 1. They hoped the attorney
general would find that there could
not be a reaffirmation of the treaty
and reduction in sugar duties.
The attorney generals opinion, how
ever, will result in an almost immedi-
ate reduction in the rate on Cuban
sugar, keeping it as now 20 per cent
under other sugars. After March l
Cuban "95 per cent" sugar will be
admitted to the United States on pay
ment of a duty of about one cent
pound
The attorney generals opinion was
sent to Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo the customs collectors to he
notified of it's purport before March
1. Any further action by the sugar
growers probably would be in the
supreme court Suit might be brought
to determine judicially the question
of conflict on which Mr.. McReynolds
has ruled.
Representative Broussard of Louisi-
ana said that while the decision of
the attorney general would not make
any difference in the volume Of the
sugar business between Cuba and the
United States, as this country takes
all of Cuba's crop, there is a quantity
Of Cuban sugar in the bonded ware
houses in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and New Orleons, where refiner-
les are located, being held to await
decision so as to take advantage Of
the double reduction, effective Mon
day. March 1. 1t means, he said,
saving of millions of dollars to Ameri-
can refineries of Cuban sugar.

Happenings in Louisiana
.NABORTON IS OFF
MAIN Line OF ROAD
TOWN PROMOTED WITH DE
SOTO's OIL BOOM is LEFT
WITHOUT CONNECTION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mansfield, Lathe FTOst-Johnson
Lumber Company has decided to build
it's tramroad from here to the oil field,
passing through the new town of Ma
horton. The road has been built from
Mansfield to that town, and hundreds
of lots sold. A number of buildings
have been erected.
When the mill people went to ex-
tend their line to the oil field, several
miles beyond they were enioined from
building their line over the lands be-
longing to the late ]. H. Majors. AS
the tramroad is not a chartered rail
road, but simply a sawmill untilty
could not inappropriate the right of
way, so that they have decided to start
at a point one mile this side of Ma
horton and build the road to the east
Of that place over lands through which
they hold a right Of way. This will
leave the new town with no connec-
ton with any place At most it will be
a spur of a log road. Those who have
bought high-priced lots in the new
town and have built may sustain Sc
rious losses and they are threatening
to bring suit against the town site
company for damages, the principal
complaint being that the town site
map shows that the town is on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
when that road runs from Mansfield
westward to Hunter, and is not nearer
to Naborton than seven miles
