opera house was built at this time and is still con-
sidered a model of Mexican-Spanish architecture.
New homes and buildings lined the streets and they
have been changed very little to this day. Matamoros
I was then a city indeed. While the States fought,
DMatamoros basked in the sunshine of prosperity that
has never been forgotten. International trading firms
were established at that time, some of them still
existing, rating among the strongest in Mexico.
Then on May so, 1865. General E. B. Brown
captured Brownsville, really the last gesture of the
war, and Matamoros began its decline. In August,
1866 French men-of-war began to arrive in Mata-
moros as a port of entry. .Bagdad was occupied the
same month. This was occasioned by the Austrian
and French governments attempt to set up a mon
archy in Mexico under Meximillian. Both Liberals
and Imperialists were fighting for control of Mata-
noros. These were stirring times for a city whose
walls are denied by countless bullets of innumerable
battles. The French withdrew in February, 1857
and October z, 1867 q hurricane completely demol-
ished Bagdad, and Matamoros is still without q port.
It's fall was rapid. It's population melted away until
in 1914 there were but 5000 inhabitants and 1000
soldiers.
In 1865 General Mejia surrounded the city with
Notifications which were rebuilt in 1915 when Gen.
eral Jos Rodriguez attempted to take the city.
Francisco Armendiaz and his brother built q
street railway system in 1872 which was in use until
q few years ago. In 1904 the Matamoros Monterrey
railroad was completed and is one of the best freight
lines in Mexico. This line is expected to handle most
Of the raw ore for American refineries and other
products from the interior as soon as the United
States opens the contemplated waterway at Port
Isabel.
Today Matamoros Is again looking to a glorious
future. A new friendship has been forged between
the Valley and Monterrey. Matamoros will be the
gateway of these two great sections that are about
to know their greatest era of prosperity.
Matamoros welcomes their friends on both sides
Of the Rio Grande to share In their business and
their pleasures.

The Country of
Flaming Sunsets
and Hospitality

Few spots in the world can compare with the
Valley Of the Lower Rio Grande. No other place
can produce the great variety as can this garden
spot. One place only, in the known world is as
fertile the valley Of the Nile. Running back
seventy!five miles on each side of the Rio Grande
is a land Of prosperity and contentment ....a
countryside that knows the true meaning Of the
word hospitality 80. yet withal a land Of start.

TIME CUT BY NEW
A|RMA|L SERVICE
7-Day Schedule Between
New York.Washington and
Buenos Aires Montevideo.

Seven-day airmail service between
New York and Washington and Buenos
Aires and Montevideo will be inaugu-
rated April 26, it was announced today
by w. Irving Glover. Second Assistant
Postmaster General in Charge of Air
mail. This service will reduce the
time four days.
The time saving is due to the estab-
lishment April Of double-schedule
service between New York and Miami,
via the National Capital, by East
ern Air Transport, and to the saving
Of an entire day in service through the
Panama Canal, Mr.. Glover said.
Under the new schedule a letter sent
from New York or Washington aboard
the evening airmail plane on Friday
will reach Miami at LAS Saturday
afternoon. Fifteen minutes later it
will be on the way to South America
On Friday of the following week the
plane will arrive at Montevideo at 6
pm. The northbound plane will leave
Montevideo at 6 am. Saturday, April
26, to inaugurate the service, and will
arrive in New York at Sis am. the
next Saturday.
The fast service between Miami and
the South American cities will be put
INTO erect, Mr.. Glover said, by the
Pan-American Anyways System, which
holds the contract for carrying the
mails to Mexico, Central and South
American cities, especially those on
the west coast.
The new service, Mr.. Glover said, is
expected to result in increased postal
business both to the United States and
to other countries on the route. 1t is
believed that banks and commercial
houses in this country will use the air.
mail to Central and South America
much more extensively than heretofore.
The airmail rate from New York and
other cities in the United States to
Buenos Aires and Montevideo is SIS
cents for each half ounce or fraction
thereof. To other countries in which

ANACOST|ANS FEAR
CENSUS NEGLECT
Enumeration Claims a. Cents
in Three Days Is His
Wage for Work.

Public spirited residents in the Ana
costa section, concerned lest they not
be counted in the 1880 census, breathed
easier today. But they had close call
Five days after the census taking was
initiated by 402 enumerators, the four
hundred and third, a man, presented
himself at headquarters this morning
and surrendered to j. Sterling Moran,
District supervisor, without struggle.
Man With Car Sent Out.
He had canvaSsed II persons in three
days and what he wanted to know was
how man could make money writing
down IL names in three days at cents
per name. Mr.. Moran didn't hazard an
opinion. Instead, he accepted the sur
render and forthwith assigned to the
Anacostia district a man with an auto
mobile who will undertake to give
AnacoStianS their due.
Several other enumerators have quit
for one reason or another, Mr.. Moran
disclosed this morning. A number of the
enumerators are averaging from SIS to 81
per day, he said, and enumerators who
drop out are supplanted by persons
drawn from reserve group of about
800, who are ready to step in at any
time.
Displaying the tact which is the chief
requirement of those now asking Wash
ingtonians intimate questions, Mr..
Moran smilingly declined to say whether
men or women are making the most
efficient enumerators. To even up mat
tiers, perhaps, he let it be known that
the man who fled the field in AnacoStia
had been preceded by woman, or two.
Work Progressing.
The work is progressing satisfac-
torily, he said, with 8 or 10 districts
complete and the halfway mark a
prospect for Wednesday. Among those
who reported their districts complete
today was Col. William L. Peak. SUI
perintendent of the District jail. It
might be supposed that Col Peak took
the census of his institution by thumb
ing his card index system. Not so.
I'VE interviewed each prisoner" he
said this morning. 1T took us two
or three days, but we found them all
at home. Our return shows 4S0 names"
