An interesting bit of railroad
news like the cat when the bag is
opened slipped out yesterday. It
is about the Japanese colony that
has been hinted at as being a pos
sibility down in the Brownsville
country. It turns out as stated to
The Post representative by one
who is "behind the door" that
40000 acres of the best lands irri
gable and along the railroad have
been purchased by them near
Brownsville and 10000 acres near
Kingsville. The details of bringing
in the Japanese to settle these has
been placed in the hands of R.
Onishi who will be the Japanese
immigration agent of the St. Louis
Brownsville and Mexico railroad.
He will bring on colonies of his
countrymen and settle them. The
idea is to bring in within a short
time from the first settling of the
colony about 500 families or in
all something like 2000 Japanese
people. Of course they will devote
themselves mostly to raising the
things they are accustomed to raise
in their native land oranges rice
and other fruit and truck of like
nature.- Houston Post.
Capt. Sleight's Trained Cow.
Mas'k Twain's educated frog and
Pike County's hoop snakes are dis-
counted by Capt. Ike Sleight's
trained cow which is attracting
attention to and earning fame for
Sleightsburg a little hamlet near
Kingston. The cow is Capt.
Sleight's faithful companion and
follows him through the village
wherever he soes from snowy
morn to frosty eve. She would
crowd through the door of the vil
lage store if the opening was wide
enough.
When the Captain takes a trip
to the dock on the Hudson the
faithful cow is sure to be close be
hind and no gift of turnips or ap
pies will tempt it to leave before
