man recalls.
At the age Of 10 Captain Dollar
landed In Ottawa, Canada. and went
to work in a machine shop. After
six months at this work he accepted
a Job as chore boy with a lumber
camp. situated 100 miles from civil
ization. At the camp there were
only two others who could speak
English-the remainder spoke the
French language.
But inside Of six months I was
speaking fluent French. and 1 still
talk it," Captain Dollar said.
He remained with the lumber
camp for many years, and so pro-
ficient was he at his work. that
when but a youth OF 20 he was the
boss Of so loggers at the camp.
Began Lumber Business
In 1880 Captain Dollar migrated
to Dollarville. Mich. where he en-
tered upon his first private venture
in the lumber trade. After attain
ing success in the East, he moved
TO California in 1889 and established
a large lumber mill in Sonoma
county. The business prospered TO
such an extent that Captain Dollar
bought his first lumber schooner,
the Newsboy. and began his distri-
button Of lumber products that was
soon to cover the entire world.
From this early start the Dollar
shipping and lumber interests grew
to such proportions that today they
own one Of the largest mercantile
fleets in the world, whose service
and regular ports OF call include
every section Of the globe.
Captain Dollar augmented his
lumber holdings on the Pacific
Coast and at Dollartown, British
Columbia, which is named in h
honor, he has one Of the most I
dern lumber mills In the world.

City's Initial Shipment
Presaged Future Growth
Of Rio Valley

The first solid car of vegetables
ever shipped out Of Brownsville,
left here February 4, 1904, an old
copy Of The Brownsville Weekly
Herald relates.
The article. appearing on the
front page Of Volume /. Number 48,
Of the Herald, says that the ship
ment will open up q very fertile
section that will in later years be-
come one OF the most important
shipping and growing points in Tex

The first solid car Of vegetables
ever sent from Brownsville will be
decorated with two streamers,' the
article reads. lone on each side OF
the car. upon which viii be dis
played in letters so large that ne
who runs may read this legend:
First car OF vegetables ever shipped
from Brownsville: from Buena Vista
Farm. The advertising the Valley
will derive from this will be inva-
liable"
Van A. Webster. partner in the
Euena Vista truck farm. was sche-
duled to talk to a group OF growers
soon after he made the spectacular
shipment, telling them all about
how 10 should be done. and advising
them how they. in the future. might
do the same thing. i.
The Brownsville Weekly Herald
nredicted a bright future for the
Valley (then composed OF very few
towns and said that 1905 would see
a larger acreage in cabbage.
"The first al is only a forerun-
ner of many more TO follow. Ora
dually the Brownsville section will
forge to the front as a truck region.
and whenever early vegetables are
injured by cold weather. IL is safe
to say that no other section VIII

II Is interesting to compare early
records with present achievements.
February 4. 1905. the Valley shipped
n car OF mixed vegetables. In 1929
this section shipped a total OF i44.-
754 cars Of truck and citrus. A much
larger acreage and consequently a
larger number Of carlot shipments
is predicted by experts for 1880.
