National Army To
Use Enfield Rifle

When the new national army is moblized
in September it will be equipped with the
Enfield, or English rifle. The army al
ready has on hand three hundred thousand
of these rifles, to be furnished TO that
number men. The two hundred thousand
remaining men will be equipped with Krag
rifles until Enfield rifles are available for
them.
This information has reached the South
ern department headquarters at San Anto-
MO, together with information that the uni
form to be worn by the new national army
will he the wooden olive drab. The reason
for this is that the new army will not be
mobilized until the fall when the heavier
uniform will be comfortable. The national
guard troops, who are To mobilize earlier
will be outfitted with the cotton olive drab.

OFFICIALS OF
LOAN BANK IN
VALLEY TODAY

The Lower Rio Grande Valley is TO be
given full justice in the matter of farm
loans by the Federal Farm Loan Bank of
Houston. This became certain today
when it was learned that the board of di-
rectors of the Farm Loan bank ut Houston,
escorted by Frank Andrews, former re-
ceiver of the st. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico railroad, arrived in the Valley to-
day in special car. The committee spent
the day touring the western part of the
Valley, and were expected To reach
Brownsville some time during the after
noon.
The visit of the board Is being made
quietly in order that it might obtain its
own impression about land values in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley as basis for
farm loans. As q result there are no COM
mittee greetings for the visitors, though it
is probable they will be taken in charge
by Brownsville bankers and business men,
and perhaps taken to Matamoros for din
ner.
The visit of the hoard came following
numerous visits to Houston and Washing
ton by valley businessmen and farmers
Representatives To lay before the managers
of the faSrn loan banks the act that the
Lower Rio Grande Valley was entitled to
consideration in the matter of loans. The
board in assuming management of the bank
had decided that irrigated lands should
not be taken as basis of security for
loans, hut later admissions were said to
have been made that the actual farm sit
uation in the Valley was unknown TO the
board. Since that time they are said to
have been convinced otherwise, and are
now ready TO advance loans provided their
visit bears out the statements made.

United States department of justice

bank of Pharr, Texas. The note in ques-

known none Of them have yet reached this
city. Inquiries mt local banks elected the
information that none of them have yet
appeared here, and therefore the serial
numbers they bear are unknown.
For several years past government Off
cials have been endeavoring to chase to
earth a man who makes his home at Rey-
nosa, Mexico, and engaged in the business
of making spurious notes, mainly of crude
design, but which often serve their pur-
pose in Mexico. Mexican officials are said
to have suspect under surveillance.

source have made their appearance at fire.

man at Reynosa.
Bad twenty dollar gold pieces have also

suspecting teller. They were returned here
from San Antonio.

to making Texas completely "dry", prohi-

later had the good fortune to secure the
services of w. l.. Rockwell, one of the
most experienced irrigation engineers Of
California, for work in Texas and for ten
years he has labored conscientiously and
efficiently for the up-building of Western
Texas.
"In 1914 the state legislature recognized
the eeeds of Western Texas by creating
a board of water engineers and for nearly
two years has been cooperating along with
this board in studying the most economic
duty Of water in irrigation and other close
~ allied subjects. Valuable results have
been secured and even though the cooper
alton is not extended beyond the present
state fiscal year, enough has been done to
serve as guide to the irrigators in the pro-
adopt in preparing the surface of frelets
and wetting the soil uniformly.

ming of 1918, our office will be obliged to
terminate some of its former lines of work
