THE MARITIME HISTORY OF MAS

Morrison. Boston: Houghton Miffiin
Company.
In the new hall of representatives
in Massachusetts, over a door just
opposite the Speakers desk, there
hangs a wooden Goldfish, which, by
solemn official announcement. is
placed there as a memorial of the
Importance of the cod fishery to the
welfare of this commonwealth A
fine touch of noblesse oblige, this,
since the history of maritime Massa-
chusetts is, in it's chief substance, the
story of the Goldfish and the clipper
ship and the doughty seamen along
the coast. That is, too, the story set
down here. One judges thing-any
thing-not by the slow and laborious
steps of its development-judg 1t,
rather, by it's results and effects. One
Judges this book by it's effect. Draw
ing away from 1T, one sees only a
thrilling picture of wide and stormy
waters and scudding white-winged
clippers and long adventures into the
unknown East-by way Of the Pacific
out from Boston, by way of the
Vasco -da- Cana route out from Salem
And there are the long days in Ori-
entail ports, gathering the home cargo
of tea and silks and spices and queer
caryen things in ivory and jade. Then

natives called it, since that word
means a great tumult And, home
again, the unloading of the fragrant
Mares and the taking on of the
Midas-like cod for another adventure

Somehow one forgets in this great
adventure the toll and the danger and
the generally bleak business of get

given me an hour and shared their

from signing correspondence, shippers

true have swung about in their
swivel chairs, looked out from their
stately offices, and at the mention of
a loved ship have unlocked their
tongues and pictured her in the har-
Dor before their eyes. Private desk
drawers have been opened and the
treasures of the past lifted out, the
proud relics of a youth that is dead
enough to show the friendly commu-
nicability of this man and the fervor

VALLEY COTTON
CONDITION IS
REPORTED GOOD
No Rain Needed, Says
Local Shipper; New
Gin Started at Mata-
moros; Others Built \


With about the same acreage this>year
that the Valley had last year and with
weather and soil conditions up to the
present time better than the average
the Rio Grande Valley should market
another record cotton crop this year
| in the opinion of W f. McDavitt local
| shipper.
From what have been able to find
out from faimers and from observation
the cotton crop is comparatively free
from insects, in comparison to what it
has been in other years.
"Of course there are the normal num-
Der Of boil weevils, but they are occur
ring in spots, and are not seriously
! threatening the crop
Valley cotton does not need rain. Mr.
McDavitt said. The land which is ir-
rigated does not need rain because it has
been watered whenever the crop re-
quired it, and the rainfall this season,
although not heavy. has been enough to
make dry Land crop Of cotton with
proper cultiyating. On much of the dry
land stalks have already attained theiI
size, and will put on a crop of cotton
without more rain.
Shower Would Help
A shower or two would benefit the
dry iand-cotton, Mr.. MeDavitt agreed,
but several days of rain would prove
harmful. Rainfall will put more life
into the boil weevil while the pests are
rather lifeless, and do little damage in
hot weather.
Last year almost 10000 bales Of cot
ton left the Valley; this year at leas.
an equal number will go out, with con
tinued favorable conditions.
The prospects for the market are. as
always, uncertain, although as favorable
this year they have been in the past,
it was reported
Across the Rio Grande, in Matamoros
and vicinity, will be raised about 45,-
900 bales of cotton, Matamoros ginners
say, most Of which is ginned in the city
Of Matamoros. The acreage there is
about the same this year as it has been
in the past, with many thousands of
acres on the large plantations planted
out in cotton. Practically no irrigation
IS done on the Mexico side of the river,
all of the cotton being raised by dry

Brownsville To Get
2OO-Acye Addition

Approximately 200 acres Of land
would be added to the city Of Browns
vile in the proposed extension of the
city limits to Morton street on the
north and the Gulf Coast Lines rail-
way track on the west, carrying out
the request Of petition submitted
to the Commissioners at their last
meeting.
The proposal to bring this tract of
land into the city limits has been dis
cussed for some time and recently
property owners in the district sign
ed petition to be presented to the
commissioners Of Brownsville
lesa4-angfe- Of the question
is being worked out. There are no
provisions in the city charter covering
the annexation Of land, and it is like
~ that an amendment to the charter
will be required to enable the city
limits to be extended. In case this
is not necessary other legal Arcps will
be taken. The commissioners have
expressed willingness to take in the
additional land if the property own
ers agree to come in. The commits
sion at its last meeting instructed
City Attorney II. G.. Galbraith TO work
out the legal phases of the proposed
addition.
There are several property owners
in the part of West Brownsville who
have expressed unwillingness to come
into the city limits. Those details
