engaged In a season of tarpon
angling off Point Isabel.
E. II. McReynolds. assistant TO
the president OF the Missouri Pa
cific Lines, being familiar with the
nearby gulf waters. and knowing
OF Vogt's prowess as a fisherman.
induced Vogt TO try IL out on this
section of the coast.
No report was available from the
Vogt party. aboard the John ii.
Shary power launch. during Sun
day or up 70 early Monday morn
ing.
Presumably the high winds OF
Sunday were a fisherman's mis-
fortune.
But they subsidized somewhat to-
day, and perhaps there will be some
action in nearby gulf waters, with
Vogt operating the reel.
Some twelve years ago r.. B.

Before they awoke to the fact,
the big fish was well on his way

more difficult to haul.

MANY VISITORS at the new

north OF the city proper. and just
across the lake from Los Ebanos
subdivision.
They saw every evidence that in
The not distant future Brownsville
will have a beauty spot OF which
I Il will be very proud.
Careful attention. and perhaps
considerable expense, will be the
price to be paid
However. there's one unsightly
side. There's that trash pile imme-

month OF June.
