Following- is a list of fruit trels
. . .. ' : .v
recommended Jor planting; vx ttie
Brownsville section by Harvey C
Stiles of California. Accompany
ing: the list was a letter to A. D.
Childress which will be found be
low. The letter waswritten from
ivingsvuie while Mr. btiles was
on his wa home from a visit to
this section about four weeks agoi
Mr. A. D. Childress
Brownsville Taxas..
Dear sir: I am going to send
the variety and fruit list and sug-
gestions asked for by several of
the gentlemen who so courteously
entertained Mr. Collins and myself
to you and make it the excuse to
remind you of the Gov't records
that you kindly promised to pro-
cure at Ft Brown and send to me
at Chico Cal. Thanking you for
this and with the renewed assur-
ance that South Texas has another
well wisher and warmiidrmrer in
me I am Respectfully
Harvsv C. SmKS.
P.S: It is quite possible that I
may become interested in the
"New Italy" but of that I
will inform you later. I will
be very glad to assist you and
all your section in . the line
of varieties methods etc. And
if I can save you some of the
losses and mistakes so costly to
California I will be well content.
I presume it will be better to send
all for the Brownsville sectioh
to you or someone at Brownsville
direct rather than to Mr. Kle-
berg to whom I will send a
considerable shipment for tliis sec-
tion. Respectfully
Harvey C. Stiuss.

steadily decreased until during the

ing the first empire only 16 sieges
occurred to 100 battles.

Autopsy of Brains.
New York Jan 2. Brain anat-
omists have begun a movement
which they hope will bring about a
condition of affairs more favorable
to the study of the human oody. It
is for the formation of a society
modeled on the plan of the Mutual
Autopsy Society of Paris the mem-
bers of which; after their death
contribute their brains and other
organs .to science. A committee
composed of three well-known
brain experts and anatomists prac

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
From Laredo Co Rio Granda Ctty Said-
. itobe a. Good Route for Con
- strucUon.-
Son Antonio I$xpres. ;
In additipn to. the7 alrcudy great
development now onrfpotf or South-
west Texas plans are now being
perfected for the construction of a
new and independent '. line of rail-
road that will develops a wide ter-
ritory of valuable land along the
Rio Grande. w
Thisnew road wilUiae itsinitial
start -at Laredo where-the matter
is now receiving attention and it
is a well defined fact that Eastern
capital is anxious for the movement
to be taken up on a broad scale.
When completed it is expected this
road will skirt the Texas bank d
the Rio Grande river from Engle
Pass to Rio Grande City or Hidal-
go coming in touch with the Tex-
as towns located along the river be-
tween these points.
Capt. T.hos. Dodd of Lnredo
vice president of the Texas Mex-
ican road' with headquarters at
Laredo speaking of the rroposed
road said: "I think the outlook
for this road is splendid and the
prospects are as good as can be for
making the necessary financial ar-
rangements provided proper en-
couragement is given by the land
owndrs and the towns through
which this line will pnss. This road
would make connection with the
International & Great Northern
and the Texas Mexican at Laredo.
"The present purpose is to build
the roaf from Laredo to Rio
Grande City though ultimately its
purpose will be to build into Eagle
Passand develop coal regions there-
about. "The building of this road will
develop at least 200000 acres of
good irrigable lands as good as
are in Texas and capable of a high
state of cultivation. The lands will
be found as capable of production
as any in Texas and offer a special
field for the cultivation of onions
and practically all kinds of truck:
"It may je a month or two'"
continued Captain Dodd "before
the promoters of this enterprise
will be prepared to submit their
terms to the people with a viewXof
ascertaining what encouragement
such an enterprise will receive.
That the road will be built is only
a question of time"

conclusion; to the effect that living;
vegetable organisms may be used

To rip a tn.e instead of a mast.
