ewo minutes, or maybe the time
was just q bit longer
Anyway, they were black bass and
they were caught at a place some
where along the Country Club re-
SAGA by Tom Tumlinson of Browns
willie.
That was fresh water fish story.
And there's salt water fish, also
available for sportsmen and women
OF the Valley. Take that from Mr..
and Mrs. Rufus Ransome. Mr.. and
Mrs. George McGonigle, Captain and
Mrs. Charles s. Miller. all of
Brownsville, who did a day Of fish
ing on the coast, in the waters of
the Gulf Of Mexico.
They captured 81 founders the
other day. And founders are aw-
fully good food, we think. Wish
we could get couple Of them our
selves.
Tomas Monies is Brownsville
bricklayer. Monies recently was en-
ployed on the federal building en-
iargement job. Going on the job he
gave voice to an interesting recollec-
tion.
Something like 81 years ago
Monies laid brick on the present fed
eral building. He received for the
work the sum of LIS pesos a day, or
the equivalent of 81 1-2 cents. His
present wage for the same work Is
$lS day. or the equivalent Of 26
pesos per day.
Your climate is splendid,r is tn,

ney Of West Palm Beach, Fla.
But your land is difficult to
buy" hastily added Mr.. Kearney.
1t takes too long to do business.
In Florida we act quickly. Turn
over-that's the word all along the
line. That has been the thing that
helped Florida to the front. Land
owners co-operated in development.
They sought it. invited it,
So Mr.. Kearney, who has been
handling property sales at the Palm
Beaches. up on the Canadian bor-
der. in California, is leaving. 81
have too many other interests to
spend great deal Of time in one
place. he said.
He is the man who sold $500, 900
= worth Of property In Florida pro-
ject some ten or twelve months ago.
Did it in something like seven hours,
IL memory of press dispatches serves
correctly.
They were accompanied to Browns
Vile by Olschanski. famed Russian
baritone. A singer whose concerts
bring him the magnificent return
OF around $4,000 an appearance. Some
like him better than Chaliapin. He
has gone, after delighting a select
end fortunate audience in Browns
vile.
The Official Record a Depart
ment Of Agriculture publication is
small. 1t can give space only to most
important of the departments news
Recently five inches Of its valuable
space were devoted to announcement
OF the new river district center in
Brownsville. It said:
"Owing to the great increase dur
ing recent years In the agricultural
development of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, the Weather Bursan
has decided to establish. effective
June 1, 1926. a new river district for
the Rio Grande below Ell Paso, Texas,
with headquarters at Brownsville,
Tex. Daily reports will be rec, ved
from river stations between Eagle
Pass and San Benito. Tex. and a
daily river bulletin will be issued
containing river and rainfall data,
river and weather forecasts, and also
flood warnings whenever necessary.
This service was urgently re-
quested some time ago by the bust
ness interests of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, bht II was not until
the present time that economies in
other fields enabled the Weather
Bureau to provide the additional
service. II is expected that the
news service will be of great value
to the agricultural interests at all
seasons of the year.
The new district formerly form
ed a portion Of the district of San
Antonio. Texas. and the Weather
Bureau station at the latter place
will still continue to exercise juris-
diction over the Colorado. San An
tonic, Guadalupe, and Neches riv-
ers."
prosperity follows good roads
and streets.
Pick out places where there are
good roads. You'll find the saying
is true.
The more good roads. the better.
There should be good feeder roads
throughout Cameron county. Farm
ers should be able to get to market
at all times, regardless of the wea-
ther.
And IL we're to take advantage
Of our nearby coast. there should
also be first class roads to the sea
shore.
There should be first class road
