Work Retarded Slightly
by Extremely Hard Clay
Encountered.

Nature Of Dirt Will Keep
Sand From Filling Chan
mel Rapidly.
WILL BE SAFE HARBOR

San BenitO. Tex, March SAC
cording to word received from the
dredge Velasco that is now engaged
in making the channel across the bar
that will make Point Isabel a deep
water harbor, rapid progress is being
made Notwithstanding the fact the
hard clay that is encountered is TO
a certain extent retarding the work.
This, however, according to marine
engineers. is much 10 the advantage
of the channel when once completed
as this particular kind Of clay will
prevent the sand from washing into
the channel and make the cost OF
keeping this open much smaller.
The dredge is running a full "a
hour day, with three shifts of men.
The engineers say that when this
channel is completed and the harbor
declared open for business. there will
be no better or safer harbor on the
entire Gulf Coast.
The valley has waited long for this
development and when it is completed
ii is to be hoped that every advantage
will be taken OF it to reduce the COST
of incoming as we'll a. outgoing
freight from here.
