Wonder why Capt Oakes has nev
er made that promised visit to
Brownsville to look into the proposed
extension of the intercoast canal
from Corpus Christi to Brownsville.
The necessary data to convince the
powers- in control of this great gov
ernment work of the necessity for its
extension to Isabel have been collected
and prepared by Louis Cobolinl, who.
represented Brownsville before the
hoard of Tnited States engineers in
charge of this proposed improvement
at its sitting at Galveston last sum
mer. Mr. Cobolini is prepared to
place the case of Brownsville before
the government engineers in such a
way as to almost positively insure
their approval of the claims of this
end of the Texas coast in this regard,
and our citizens should back his ef
forts by making sure that he will
have the opportunity to place the
data which he has collected before
the hoard.
The vast interest of this valley de
mand cheaper transportation. They
demand the very best freight facilities
that ran be secured. The develop
ment of Brownsville demands every
effort be made to secure the con
struction of this waterway, which will
bring water traffic to her very doors
and transform the bank of the Rio
Grande at this place into one of the
busiest shipping marts of the Gulf
Coast country. It will depend very
largely upon Brownsville herself to
secure this vitally necessary improve
ment, and, if Capt. Oakes has forgot
ten his expressed intention to come

To the Brownsville Herald:
Enclosed herewith is the program
for the annual meeting of the South
Texas Gardeners. It is hoped you will
give the meeting the publicity it de
serves. The association is now- three
years old and is established and con
ducted for the purpose of disseminat
ing information for the guidance of
its members as well as for the benefit
of all new settlers. The results hoped
for are the material success of the
farmers and the sound and conserva
tive upbuilding of the agricultural in
terests of South Texas. A large at
endance is hoped for so that the new
comers may meet those farmers
whose experience under our condi
tions enables them to give profitable
advice. The ultimate prosperity of
the country depends upon the success
of the farmer, hence it is of vital im
portance to every industry that the
settler secure profit from his opera
tions and suffer no reverses that are
avoidable.
The railroads have made an excep
tionally low rate to Brownsville and
return, thus making it possible for
all to attend the meeting at little ex
pense. E. C. GREEN,
President South Texas Gardeners.
R. M. BOSS, Secretary.

fect The presence of Congressman
Garner, who beyond doubt, will do all
in his power to assist usin this move,
and of a few other influential congres
sional friends of waterway improve
ment at the same time would also
have a most beneficial effect. If this
could bo arranged to follow imme
diately upon the holding of the water
ways convention to-be held at Corpus
Christi next fall it would probably
prove most effective. President Tat
who will visit Corpus Christi at this
Urn?, might be induced to come an
invitation extended him to do so
would not be amiss at this time in
an event and the interest of the na

coastal canal with the proper vim,
and we shall obtain it.
