The meeting of The Learners held
Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Scales
was one of unusual interest, being
devoted to the study of Nineteenth
Century art. A very fine paper on
this subject was read by Mrs. Scales.
Her able introduction of HogartTi,
Rusicin, Landseer, Copley, Horean
and -jpther prominent artists of the
period named was effectively supple
mented wjth a number of engravings
and prints of copies of the best
known and most characteristic pro
ductions of the brush of these emin
ent examples. Questions relating "to
the same subjects elicited much in
formation which was both interesting
and instructive.
Thirteen members were present
and all took an active interest in the
lesFon of the afternoon.

Associated With Well Known Resi

Town in the Valley.
Latest on the map of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley is La Feria, the
new townsite that is being developed
by a number of well known capital-
. ists from St." Louis and Minneapolis,
associated with several prominent
citizens of this county. La Feria is
located on the Hidalgo branch of the
Brownsville road about half between
Harlingen and Mercedes. . Just. -the
other day, the traveler passing that
way saw nothing but cactus and chap
arral. Today the town plat lies there
open to view, witli broad streets and
avenues laid off and cleared, several
small houses already built and others
in course of construction.
W. Daviess Pittman, formerly 6t
St. Louis, -is one of the leading pro
moters of the enterprise and is tak
ing an active part in pushing it. Mr. i
Pittman is about to let the contract
for a fine hotel, at La Feria, to cost
about $10,000, and states that other
buildings, both for business and resi
dence purposes, will also be erected
very shortly. A well of excellent
water has been secured, at a depth of
only 57 feet, and the La Feria canal
also runs west of the town site, sup
plying water for irrigation.
Mr. Pittman states that provision.
has been made for several parks in
the town, the finer specimens of the
.native trees being allowed to remain
standing on the park sites.
The personnel of the company pro
moting the La Feria townsite is as
follows: Walter V. Fifield and A. L.
Hall of Minneapolis, J. L. Bruce,
Paul Jones, R. H. Kern, A. V. Rey
burn and W." O. Collins of St. Louis,
Walter A. McNeil and R. H. Kern,

ROOSEVELT IS

Will Reach East Africa April 21. and
Will Spend a Year In Heart of the
Dark Continent Personnel of
the Party. S
New York, March 23. Ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt and party
sailed from heretoday on their much
heralded visit to the wilds of Central
Africa. With Mr. Roosevelt are his
son, Kermit, who interrupted his
studies at Harvard to accompany the
expedition; Major E. A. Mearns, U.
S. A., retired, an experienced army
surgeon; J. A. Ioring, a distinguished
zoologist aid naturalist; Edmund
Heller, explorer and naturalist; and
R. J. Cunningham, hunter and collec
tor of zoojogical specimens.
The Rodsevelt party will go to the
eastern coast of Africa by way of
Naples, thence to Mombassa island
expecting to reach the latter point
about April 21. From there they will
travel inland by rail to Nairobi and
there will become practically lost to
civilization, striking across the coun.
trj' to Khartoum. The trip from
Mombassa island will take about a
year. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt will join Mr. Roose
velt in Europe on his return from
Africa and they will spend about a
year traveling in the old country be
fore returning to the United States.
While the object of Mr. Roosevelt's
visit to the wilds of Africa is sun-1
posed to be to gratify the ex-president's
passion for hunting, it will
also embrace the collection of zoologi
cal specimens of various kinds.
