AT the turn of the century this valley

jungle, and cowboys pushed their way
after them. Thousands of deer, wild
pigs. coyotes and wildcats competed
with the cattle for living.
Groves Replace Jungle.
"Since then the changes have been
sweeping. Promoters. developers, en-

contacts with the outside world, the
town was chiefly dependent on ships to
a point near the mouth of the Rio
Grarde Since 1900, when the popula-
ton was about 5000, the town has in
creased approximately fivefold.
Directly across the Rio Grande from
Brownsville is Matamoros. 1t was at

Point Isabel, % miles northeast Of
Brownsville. and 8 miles north Of
the Rio Grandes mouth, is the salt

Mexican War it, was port of impor-

through it came supplies not only for
Brownsville and the surrounding Amer

diate future.
There was possibility that the
benefit may be staged in the fu-

families.
Although many actors and &C
treSses volunteered to go to Long

sistance was declined, since there
were plenty of trained hospital
