was, by unanimous action Of the sew
CT members of the committee, elected
Chairman thereof.
We now beg to respectfully pre-
sent our formal appeal from the adj
verse report Of Colonel Schley, and to
briefly herewith present the reasons
why we believe your Board should re-
commend a project for the creation OF
a thirty-foot harbor at Brazos Santa
go point Isabel), Texas. We ask
that immediate hearing upon this ap-
peal, be not had, but that the inter-
ested parties be given additional time
within which to amend this appeal,
procure and submit additional data
and information; and that following
the filing of such amended appeal
with additional data, a time conve
lent to your Board be fixed when oral
arguments may be presented by the
undersigned and representatives Of
the interested parties.
We earnestly ask that before the
oral argument the entire membership
Of your Board visit the proposed har-
Dor and the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
all expenses incident TO such visit to
be borne BY the interested parties here.
A complete history of the Brazos
Island Harbor project to January 21st,
1910, is contained in the letter from
the Secretary of War, transmitting.
with a letter from the Chief of Engi-
neers, report on preliminary examina-
ton and survey Of harbor at Brazos
Island, Texas. This letter was pub
lished as House of Representatives
Public Document No. 1710, 165th Con-
gress, 3rd Session"
1t is historically interesting to note
that for almost fifty years the ques-
ton as to the development of this har-
Dor has been a live one; that favorable
reports on different projects for its
development have at various times,
been made during this period; that
several of these projects have been adj
opted; in the aggregate large amounts
Of Government money expended
without any of the projects being car
ried to completion.
The first Of these projects was adj
opted in 1881. This contemplated the
construction Of %ietties. Work contin-
ued from the early part OF 1882 to the
fall Of 1884, when, because of lack of
funds the project was abandoned.
In 1905, a channel 7O-feet wide and
lO-feet deep was excavated from the
pass to the railroad wharf at Point
Isabel.
AT various other times, the govern
nent has spent money on this project.
No project has been carried to COM
pletion.
Point Isabel Harbor, such as it
now Is, IS connected with the CITY OF
Brownsville and other points in the

ard guage railway making connection
with the Missouri Pacific and South
ern Pacific Railways. A concrete
highway is now under process OF o n
struction to Point Isabel. This high
way branches, one branch connection
at Barreda near San Benito. in Cam
eron County, with the main public
highway traversing the Valley, and
the other running into the City of
Brownsville. This entire highway has
been graded and all structures built.
Contracts for the laying of the on
crete on more than seventeen miles Of
this highway have already been let and
the work IS now actually under way.
Public document No. 17l0, herein
before referred to includes a report on
this Brazos Island Harbor project,
made by the then District Engineer,
Colonel G. s. Richie. This report CON-
tains much valuable information and
data with reference to this project.
The following is quoted from this re-
port of Colonel q. $. Richie which.
bear in mind. was written with refer
ence to conditions as they existed
twelve years ago:
"As before stated, the physical con-
ditions have not changed since the re-
port of Major g. Il. Howell in 1910.
but the commercial conditions in the
Valley have materially advanced.
Major Howell states that annual saw
ing in freight rates on inbound freight
from Eastern points of Sl65,OO0.O0, az
then shown, was underestimated. in
addition 10 this, il was estimated that
a saving of S25,OO0.O0 on outbound
cotton raised in the Valley for that
year would accrue III shipments were
made by water from Brazos Santiago.
At that time the total tonnage of the
st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Rail-
road was 100000 tons. Since the re-
port of 1910 this tonnage as shown by
the report OF the Railroad Commission
has risen TO 777,SS1 tons. or over dou-
bic that OF 1910, while in 1913 II rose
TO Oh PA tons. the decrease this year
being probably due TO war conditions.
As the principal gain has been in COM
modities that would be affected BY
water transportation, ii is estimated
that the saving in freight rates will
amount to about S427 10000 per year
on inbound freight alone az present.
This gain in tonnage has been practic-
ally 100000 tons per year and this av-
erage increase is expected TO continue
for some time TO come. III %. BY 1916.
there would be a saving Of over $780,
10000 per annum in freight rates for
the people of the Rio Grande Valley"
Colonel Riches report concludes.

A dazzling display of speedy pass work which at times bewildered the Stanley Works team was used to ad vantage by the Corbin Screw basket ball team, last year champions of the Industrial league as it rode on to its fourth successive victory to take an undisputed hold on first place. Previous to last nights game Cor bin Screw and the Stanley Works were tied for first place.
 Last nights games were all one sided as the following scores will show:
 Stanley Rule. 21; N. B. Machine 1S.
 Corbn Cabinet. 25; Russwin IS.
 Corbn Screw, 23; Stanley Works The largest crowd in the history of Industrial League basketball was present at the game.
 Beyond any question the real big feature of the games last night was the clocklike team work of the Cor bin Screw team. The Screw Shop boys took few long shots and most of the short shots were of the sen- sational variety.
 By their victories last night Cor bin Cabinet Lock and the Stanley Rule and Level teams went into a tie for second place with the stan ley Works quintet.
 Rulers Win
 4 strong second half offcnse car ried the Stanley Rule & Level team toan overwhelming victory over the Stanley Machine team. When inter- mission came the score was to $ in favor of the Newmatics but Coach Murphy's quintet began to toss them in in the second half and the score was c1 to 13 at the end.
 Tho Elm street team was aided considerably by the perfect foul shooting of Will" Mercy who made six points out of six chances. John Kley also kicked in on tho scoring and outjumped his man at center throughout the game. Kley made the feature shot of the contest, a long toss from the side center.
 As usual Nick Arena played the best game for the New Britain Ma chine team. The summary:

 Only two deals were made after score of conferences among man. agcrs yesterday.

KID WILLIAMS WILL BE
 WITH LOCALS THURSDAY
Powerful Brass City Combination to Oppose New Brit ain at Stanley Arena Hardware City Crew Anx' ious to Break Into Win Column - Ed McAloon, Local Boy, With Visiting Team - Local Players Staging Daily Practice at Church Street Rink

Arthur (T<id) Williams, considered one of the best players in the Ameri- can Roller Hockey league. will be with New Britain Thursday night when the local team meets the Wa terbury quintet at the Stanley Arena in this city. Williams was unable to report here for tho opening of the season and as consequence. the To- cal team has suffered four straight reverses. His presence in the lineup Thursday night will give the Hard ware City combination . strong of- fensive and will serve to prevent the other teams in tho circuit from mak- ing a doormat of tho local crew.
 Besides being ono Of the fastest combinations in the circuit. the Wa terbury team will furnish an added attraction here because of the fact that Eddie McAloon, junior, son of his "old man" and one of the most popular of the players in the New Britain amateur league last season. is a member of the squad. Eddie has fit in nicely alongside Davies. star rusher of the Brass City crew and his friends in this city will be interested in seeing him perform.
 Red" Donnelly. one of the scrap- piest of the centers playing in the league will be at his usual post in the middle of the floor while Hebert. newcomer in the circut will be at halfback. Bill Blount. for years the outsta nding goal tender in the league will be before tho cage. He played with New Britain last season.
 New Britain. under the direction Of Captain Harry Thompson. will ldi. rect all of it's efforts towards winning it's first game. It doesn't seem nat ural for a New Britain team to be in last place in any line of sports and the local team does sn't beloIs; at the bottom of the heap in roller hockey.
 With Williams in the lineup. the local quintet will probably take the floor with Williams and Perregrin in the rush positions. Harry Thompson in center. Barney Doherty in half back and Welch in the goal.

TRADERS TO MEET SOUTH
 CHURCH IN ANNUAL GAMES
LOcal Basketball Teams To Resume
 Their Court Rivalry Tomor- TOW Night

The annual battles between the South church and State Trade school will be resumed tomorrow night, when the teams representing those two institutions will clash at the Senior High school in the first game of q ome-and home series. This will be the fourth year of con- tests between the rivals, and not until last year did the South church win game from the TraGers, but in that one season it cvened the score by taking four games and atoning for a quartet of losses in the previ- ous two winters.
 Tomorrow evenings battle will find the Trade school greatly out weighed by the Congregationalists. but the latter have yet to get their team work functioning properly and the schoolboys are laying great store by this fact. No matter which side has won in the past. it has always been a thrilling game. and both teams are looking forward to an- other evening of excitement to- morrow. The starting lineup Of neither team has been definitely de- cided yet
