along the proposed hne, the com
ing of a line of steamers bearing:
from our very doors the diversified
products of one of the richer srii-
cultural sections of the United
States, putting us in direct touch:
with the world's markets by both:
rail and water, and its immensity
staggers the average mind in try

accomplish for this section. Our
citizens are taking hold of the en
terprise in a manner which not only
shows their appreciation of the ben

ject, but also of their faith in the
prowess of Col. Uriah Lott, whert
it comes to carrying to successful

MORE ABOUT DRAINAGE.
Public interest is on the alsrt
here over a proposed new railroad
from. Brazos Santiago to Hidalgo,
with main line from Brownsville to
San Antonio and Houston- Col.
Uriah Lott, than whom no better
known and-more successful railroad
builder can be found in the United
States, is at the head of the enter
prise and this fact is almost a posi
tive guarantee of the successful
outcome of the project. The Her
ald is only permitted to say that
preliminaries have been arranged
for the building of this new system
of railway which is strictly a Rio
Grande enterprise, and local capital
will enter largely into its construc
tion The new road from Brazos
Santiago to Hidalgo, up the famous
Rio Grande valley a distance of 70
thin air before his Spartan-like de
termination, and where he elects.to
construct a railroad, success gener
ally crowns his efforts.
As before stated the new railroad
is strictly a Rio Grande enterprise,
and Brownsville will be general
headquarters, where will be located
general offices, machine shops, and
everythingpertaining to the head
quarters of a successful railroad
system. Those familiar with rail
roads, will .realize in an instant
what this alone means for our city,
to say nothing of the wonderful
development that will immediately
come to the entire section traversed
by the proposed road.
Th charter will be filed shortly,
and when this is done engineers
will be immediately put in the field

funds having already been secured
for this purpose.

In answer to a letter from W. M-
Ratcliffe asking for further assist
ance in the matter of drainage, the
following reply has been received
from Elwoord Afead, chief of irriga
tion and drainage investigation by
Mr., Ratcliffe, under date of No
vember 28. The letter is self-explanatory
and as follows:
Dear Sir. Replying to your
letter of November 16th, stating:
that Mr. Elliott had rendered
valuable service in the organization
of your drainage district, and ask
ing for our further assistance in
this matter, would say that Mr
Elliott has reached Vr:-"i
and believes that this office should
aid your section in the preparatioa
of plans for the reclamation o
your district from salt water.
In considering new work, how
ever important it may be, we are
confronted by this situation. The
estimate for our appropriation for
the next fiscal year has already
been prepared. Owing to the desire
to keep appropriations within the
smallest possible limits, this esti
mate only included the continuance
of work already undertaken by
the ofhee, and other work which
has been examined by experts aud
known to beof pressingimportance.
Owing to the quarantine wmch,
prevented Mr. Wright visiting;
Brownsville, and the delay in Mr.
Elliott's visit, it was not possible
to include an estimate of the cost
of work at Brownsville. Hence,
this expense was not token into
account in the estimate, so that we
are somewhat embarrassed when su
proposition to enter upon new and:
extended work is presented. We
expect to send an engineer Co
Brownsville to study your prob-
Mems and aid in preparing oluns
for their solution, as Mr. vinutt
believes should be done, but in
order to do as much as the gravity
of the situation requires, our
appropriation will have to. be in.
creased.
We appreciate ymrrr sftuauoa
and agree with yon upon the prop
osition that it is a matter for the;
investigation of this office. The
extent of such assistance, however,
depends entirely upon a more lib
eral appropriation by Congress for
