FAREWELL DINNER TO
PROF. E. C. GREEN.
(Continued from page one.)
and the government is short of^such
I
men. The agricultural department
try out their men, and when one of
exceptional ability is developed, they
have a place for him on their gen
eral 'Staff at Washington. Prof.
Green is still a young man, and it
would not surprise me, to see him
within the next ten years at the
head of that great department.
I met Prof. Green the day he first
arrived in Brownsville, and have
known him both in a business and
social way ever since. I have wan
dered through the woods with him
on hunting trips, rifle in hand, and
in camp have slept with him under
the same blanket,, and 1 konw him as
a true and tried friend. He is al
ways ready to go out of his way to
render a service, and has one of the
most lovable and estimable disposi
tions it has ever been my lot to find
in any man, and 1 feel that when he
departs from here, I have indeed lost
a friend and companion that can not
be replaced.
Hon. John Bartlett—Prof. Green’s
work as one of the besf “people on
earth.
Some few years ago there appear
ed upon the streets of our city a per
son of medium size, of a blond com
plexion. of a modest and almost dif
fident manner, and our fraternity,
being of a charitable disposition and
appreciating his apparent lonesome
ness, took him in and. having prop
erly trained and disciplined him,
found him to be a "jolly good fellow"
which nobody can deny. He "Went
out a man of courage, and gave
judgment upon the conditions in our
vicinity without fear our favor. I
do not wish to take up much of your
time, and when 1 say we found him
a man, it is needless to say anything
farther—for that covers the most
we can say of anyone. In our fra
ternity, we found him courteous to
all, charitable, always willing to do
justice, and ever ready to extend the
love of brotherhood. In closing, I
wish to say that wherever he may
go, the friendship of our fraternity
will go with him, arid that where
ever he may be situated, there he
will find the fraternal greeting and
the extended friendly hand of the
B. P. O. E.
E. C. Green—How it feels to leave
the crowd.
"The thing which appeals to me
most strongly tonight is that I am
leaving my friends. For ten years
my work has kept me in Texas, and
at the moment it seems that all
there is of companionship and sym
pathetic understanding exists in
those true and loyal hearts with
whom the past few years have
brought me in such dose associa
tion. It has been my fortunte to
observe the men of the South and of
the North, and in justice it must be
said that the cold-blooded, anaemic,
personally selfish, hustling money
grabber is conspicuously absent in
Dixie. I am leaving known friends
to go to a large city where no doubt
generosity and kindliness exist, but
where it is so securely disguised that
I feel it may be definitely located
only with considerable difficulty. As
one grows older, friends are made
with increasing caution, and the tried
and true friends are left V!th the
more regret.
••Some have spoken this evening
of the good that the United States
department of agriculture has dohe
in Southern Texas. What the depart
ment has done can never be meas
ured in dollars, nor can the benefits
t>e appreciated for some time to
come. Still, I have frequently felt
l keen regret in witnessing errors
ind losses which could not have oc
:urred, had greater confidence in the
qpinions of Uncle Sam’s agents ex
isted. .It is of first importance in a
yioneer country that the farmer reap
idequate reward for his industry.
)n the happiness of the farmer de
jends the success of all enterprises
>f this section. Some of the great
ist corporations in the Valley are
it ill paying a price for overlooking
:his almost self-evident proposition.
"One of my regrets on leaving is
hat, having seen the Valley strug
?le through the first half dozen
rears of preparation and <Te?elop
ment, and having it clearly before
ne that the roughest work is dTJne,
ind that the future is bright with
comparatively easy and and splen
lid results, I have to leave you all
lust at the time when the consumma
tion of many of (be. things we have
worked for is a( hand.
"But, to return to my original de
claration, the thing that counts
with me is the parting with the old
friends. The border develops a type
>f its own—there is a sincerity,
frankness and truth unexcelled in
my land, and my thoughts will fre
quently dwell on the true, stalwart,
loyal and trustwqrthy men of Texas,
my friend*.
C. L. MacManus—Brownsville and
... \
its relation to Green—do we need
the color?
Green appears to be a necessary
color for Brownsville or any other
agricultural country, and it must at
certain seasons of the year predom
inate. Prof. Green has been very es
sential in building up the railroad
traffic of the community,and his in
fluence can be shown by practical
results—for instance, to quote sta
tistics, the freight receipts of the
Brownsville station showed a gross
increase for the month of March,
1912, over those of March, 1911, of
more than nineteen thousand dol
lars, and also proportional increases
for each month of the year' Much
of such increase can be directly at
tributed to the great and good work
that has been done by Prof. Green,
while stationed here. The facts and
figures therefore show tha' the color
personified in Green is much needed
and that the Professor himself
should, if possible, be retained.
L. A. Whitney—Whether Prof.
Green has become acclimated, and if
there is any danger in his removal
to a northern climate?
Mr. Whitney said that, although
Prof. Green was thoroughly ac
climated to Brownsville, he did not
think there would be any danger in
his going north for the summer, but
he thought that, if at all possible,
he should return here before the
winter set in or that would be the
“winter of our discontent.” He
sincerely hoped that Prof. Green's
removal would not be permanent and
that we should again have him with
us before the year roiled around.
I have known Mr. Green in all
phases of life and he is one of the
most estimable gentlemen it has ever
been my good fortune to meet, and
none will regret his leaving Browns
ville more than I.
Prof. Green has alw’avg been frank
in his advice to all whom have
sought it, and if more attention had
been paid to his recommenda
tions in the early pioneer days of
the Valley, the advancement would
be still further along tha*h It Is to
day.
Prof. Green’s services to the land
men have been a blessing in dis
guise, and all are sorely lotth to lose
him from our midst.

W. FJr. ty^on, jf..—xjAny^old thing.
As usual, M.r. Maj*o^(,,,with his
versatility of thought covered the
ground where any possible subject
had been omitted by the previous
speakers. He touched upon the
social and home liftT*of Prof. Green
in many places that had not been
covered and related many reminis
cences of journeys they had made,
and the enjoyable times they had
spent together.

Arvid Franke--J&q, Jfdies.
Among yp^r ihingj^^Mr. Franke
said, that 911 the border, people spoke
of “women.” There were no such
things as “women” in polite so
ciety. They were all ladies. In Eu
rope one never heard of anything
but ladies—why not here?
It is the ladies that make a coun
try, especially a wild border coun
try, and if you want to build up this
part of Texas, make it attractive for
ladies to live here and the balance
will be easy.
The party then joined handstand
standing upon the chairs, sang
“Auld Lang Syne," after which im
mediate return was made to
Brownsville.
THREE MORE RAILROADS ARE
PREDICTED FOR BROWNSVILLE
New York Investor Believes They
Will be Running Into the City
Within Five Years.
That at least three more railroads
will be running into Brownsville
within the next five years is the
prediction made by a Newr York in
vestor who spent the past several
Jays visiting this city and section.
This gentleman, who does not
wish his name given in connection
with the interview, speaks in the
no3t favorable terms of Brownsville
ind its future. He is prominent in
-ailroad circles, and has had exten
sive connection with railroad enter
prises both in this country and in
South America.
