Point Oysters
May Be Banned

Oyster beds long the Texas coast
have been put under a ban in many
places. but those at Point Isabel
likely will not be affected. John
B. Coffee, Of the state game. fish
and oyster department, said Mon
day. Although he has received no
official communication from the
state department in regard % the
matter, he is expecting n visit from
Chester Cohen, of the state health
department, within the very ear
future, he said.
Mr.. Cohen. when he comes, may
take some action regarding the oys-
ter situation.
The statement by Mr.. Coffee was
made following an announcement by
DIR. Livingston Anderson, Of Austin.
director OF the state department Of
hygiene and laboratories, that a
large portion OF the oyster beds Of
the coast had been ~"padlocked."
The step was taken, DR.. Anderson
said. following the discovery of
typhoid germs in oysters taken from
the gulf neal Corpus Christi.
All oysters taken from Texas
waters in future must be certified
in the same manner that milk is
certified, Or. Anderson said. This
will mean an examination and test
Of the water from which the oysters
are taken. and frequent examina-
tons of the oysters themselves.
The padloeking and certification
rule Ia 10 90 into effect Dec. 81, il
is announced.
Very few oysters are taken from
the Point Isabel beds. Coffee said.

Daily vegetable and fruit market
reports, for the past month an ex-
elusive Brownsville Herald feature,
have been suspended for the holt
days and will not be available again

for about two weeks.
The reports have come to the
Herald via the local Naval radio
station here, in charge Of 3. l..
Jarvis. being transmitted by the San
Antonio station. They we're assem-
bled from over the nation through
the cooperation Of the Federal and
State departments OF agriculture.
When the reports are resumed
they will be received by +. 9. GooEe,
representative of the departments,
who was here last year. He will

novel Christmas folders ever orig
mated in the Valley. Printed on
deckle-edged stock, the front page

Shary:
Our Christmas greetings Of the past
Have told in words Of rhyme,
The story Of our Valley
Its wondeTs-and our cline.
We've tried 10 picture to you
The beauty OF our land:
The fragrance If our flowers;
Our palms and nights 30 grand.
We've told you Of our Christmas tree,
And lovely friends 30 sweet,
or how we gather here each year
So happy when we meet;
We've opened wide our hearts 30 you
To have you understand,
That Christmas in the Valley
Is the same as any land;
That snow nor ice nor pine tres,
Nor flowers or mistletoe
Have aught 10 do with Christmas
Except we make il so;
That Christmas is and always will
Re in the hearts Of men,
It's there We keep this spirit
For you-for all our friends.

GAS

New Method to Aid
Valley In Compel
ing Appearance

Sopecial 70 Inc herald
san BENITO, Tex, Dec. 26.-Val-
ley citrus fruit can take its place in
the markets Of the world along with
that from California and Florida in
the matter OF appearance, as well as
IN quality, in which il il admittedly
superior, il wes declared BY packers
here IN view of the new method Of
cOloring which il being used in the
Valley this year.
Experiments have been conducted
in the Valley during the past few
seasons in the coloring OF the fruit
with ethylene gas, and the expert
ments have proved a success. This
year this method Of coloring is being
used in practically all of the plants
Of the Valley.
In the past practically all OF the
citrus fruit was colored By the use
Of gasoline heaters. the kind used
Tor ordinary heating purposes. The
fruit was placed in an alright room,
and the stove started, the heat being
maintained at a uniform temperature,
much as in an incubator.
This method was slow and ineon-
venient, and was not altogether salts
factory. IL was also dangerous.
The newer method is proving salts
factory in every respect. II 10 much
quicker, turns out a more uniform
product, and n that can compete in
appearance onthe market with that
from other parts Of the country.
The Valley plants are also using
automatic grading and weighing ma
chimes, which further facilitate the
handling OF fruit, eliminating the
necessity Of handling II by hand, and
making the work more uniform and
speedier.

SIXTEEN YEARS AGO

Robert Harrington dead, E. w.
Grow mortally wounded, A. r.
Dickson shot through the thigh,
12 persons more or less seriously
wounded was the toll of war on
American soil in Douglas yes
terday as the result of the battle
between Mexican federals and
rebels at Aqua Prieta. Aqua
Prieta was captured by a force
of 25O under Col. Cambreros,
with detachments under Col. Rojas
and Capt. Arturo (Red Lopez.
The federals were commanded by
Captains Viagas, Basurto and
Martinez, who with "a of their
men surrendered to Capt. Gaujot
of the U. S. army and are now
in camp at Sportsman park.
Douglas received the first
news of the battle yesterday
afternoon when bullets began to
rain in the down town district.
One bullet struck the Copper
Queen store warehouse, and the
general offices of the c. Q.
smelter were subjected to
calling fire. One bullet crashed
through the residence of Super
intendent Lee.

train on the southbound trip
Wednesday and held it near
Fronteras until yesterday, when
it steamed back to Aqua Prieta.
Scarcely had the rebels detrained
than the firing began. The rebels
deployed their firing line along
the railroad tracks from the
station to the customs house.
They swung up the international
line, taking possession of the
Mexican guard house, which is
only 70 feet from the line, which
was toed by thousands of
Americans.
The battle was ended through
the Intervention of Americans.
After the Mexican federals had
surrendered to Capt. Gaujot, a
small band remained at the
comisario. Captain Gaujot and
Charles Mexican crossed the line
under white flag and advanced
to the cuartel, where they found
the federals without officers above
the rank of sergeant. After much
persuasion and assurances that
they would not be obliged to
surrender to the rebels, the
majority of the federals threw
down their guns and accompanied
the Americans across the line
Some, however, turned to Lopez
and enlisted in his band.
