The announcement Of the United
States Bureau Of the Census az Wa,i-
ington today giving the population Of
Brownsville as l.79l makes Browns
vile the largest city on the gulf coast
south f Houston or Galveston. The
city next in size is Corpus Christi,
the population Of which was recently
announced as 10,522. which gives
Brownsville lead Of approximately
1900 over Corpus Christi.
With the announcement of Browns
vIle's population, the figures for all
the larger towns Of the Valley have
been announced with the exception of
San Benito's, which is expected to be
announced within the next few days,
and which is expected to be about
5000.
The Brownsville figures were not
unexpected. The growth Of this city
in the past ten years has not been
in proportion to that of the other
larger cities in the Valley, due largely
to the fact that land development and
colonization in the immediate vicinity
of Brownsville has only just started
on the scale that it has long been un-
derway in other sections where lands
originally were obtained in large
quantities much more cheaply than
they were offered at that time around
Brownsville.
Census enumerators also point out

that while Brownsville has lost large
numbers Of it, Mexican population
bcacuse Of the bandit troubles and
the war, because Of the return Of
peace in Mexico and the departure Of
probably thousands of refugees, this
loss in population has been replaced
the United States. The bandit trou-
bles, il is pointed out, is demonstrat-
ed to large extent in the growth Of
postal receipts which i'm 1913 were a
little over $4,000 year, under nor
NAL conditions. while the last fiscal
year, ending June 30, the receipts
were over $4,000. showing a greatly
increased population Of postal patrons
The population OF Brownsville in
1900 was 6305 and ten years later il
was 10,5l7, this period showing the
city's greatest growth in its history,
and which was due to the entry, in
1904, Of the first outside railroad
connection, the ST. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico.
Crowded housing conditions in
Brownsville. which have become evil
dent since the taking of the census
in January gives reason for believing
that the population Of the city has
grown at least five hundred since the
first Of the year, and the expected
arrival during this fall and winter of
some four hundred farm families on
the FL Jardin tract, two miles and
beyond east Of the city, will unques-
tionably give Brownsville a further
increase Of at least one thousand, and
perhaps more, during the next year,
IL is believed.
