BROWNSVILLE ROAD
WILL BE BUILT.
President Yoakum Says It- Is All
Right Roseate Prospect Renews
Land Boom.
San Antonio Express May 17.
"The Lott Railroad to Browns-
ville is all right and the road will
be built."
These were the words that Col.
B. F. Yoakum uttered to some
friends at New York on the eve of
closing the deal between the Frisco
and the Rock Island. The remark
was in answer to a question by the
parties who had a deep personal
interest in knowing just what the
Brownsville situation was.
The unusual appearance of Yice-
Presiderjt Markham of the Southern
Pacific at Alice and his trip over
the Lott survey has renewed the
interest in the Brownsville project!
Some people contend that an under-
standing exists between Mr.
Yoakum and the Southern Pacific
whereby the latter will back tlie
Lott enterprise as Mr.. Yoakum is
said to have originally intended.
The renewed interest in the
Brownsville project has resulted in
a fresh impetus to the Brownsville
land boom and meetings have been
held by interested land holders
looking to the laying out of a num-
ber of town sites on the route be-
tween Sinton and Brownsville.
The Cuero oil mill today declar-
ed an annual dividend of 8 per
cent on its capital stock of $75-
000 nearly all of which is distri-
buted among Cuero people. Since
its institution Some thirteen years
ago the mill has paid out in divi-
dends Manager A. Hamilton tells
us $91000 or 123J per cent on its
capitalization. Thereareno flies on
oil mill stock it appears. Cuero

THIS UNLUCKY YEAR.
San Antonio Express. -The
superstitious man produces
rsome figures to prove that the pres
ent year is an . unlucky one. If
i something terrible doesn't happen
to the human race before the end of
this year I'm no true prophet said
the superstitious man. Fate has
written it down just as plain as-
day and there's no way of dodging
it. In the first place the year 1903
contains a mighty bad combination
of figures. If you take them separ-
ately and add them up you will
find that the result will bo 13 no
matter which way you Aork it out.
AH right. You may laugh at mo
'as far as I have gone but wait
until I produce some more facts.
In the year 1903 there are three
daj's in which the 13th of the month
falls on Friday. The first was
Feb. 13. The next March 13 and
the last will be Nov. 13. Take a
look at the calendar and find out
how man' previous 3ears had this
many Fridays which came on the
13th of the month. On the 13th of
February I forgot myself and
walked under a ladder. Before I
had gone half a block beyond that
ladder I fell down and sprained my
rankle. If figures count for anything
this is the unluckiost year that
old Father Time has presented to
us in a mighty long while. Its a
combination that can't be beat and
I'm just sailing around looking for
trouble all the time.
CASSAVA A SUCCESS.
Pineapples Will Also Be Tried"
Near Corpus Christi.
George G. dough who distrib-
uted cassava seed among Nueces
count' farmer? sometime ago
reports that most of the seed plant-
ed is coming up well.
Ke says there is no question-
about the success of the crop in
this section.
Next season enough seed will be
gathered from this crop to plant
quite a respectable acreage. The
farmers supplied with samples are
greatly interested in this new crop-
Mr. Clough has now arranged to
put in an experimental pinery. He
will use a quarter of an acre furni-
shed by Mr. Singer on Flour Bluff.
The pine-apple plants will be secur-
ed from Florida.
If the experiment should prove
the success confidently anticipated
pine-apples will doubtless be ex-
tunsiveh cultivated in this section

OPPOSES MARRYING
TITLED FOREIGNERS.
New York May 10. The twelfth
annual convention of" the Goneral
Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution was opened
today with a special service held in
St. Paul church. The Rev. Morris
Fcm'p who preached the sermon
pleaded for the perpetuation of the
highest traditions of patriotism by
the women of America who protest-
ed against the establishment in this
country of aristocracy birth or
wealth and the marriage of Amer-
ican women with titled foreigners.

JOAQUIN MILLER.
Joaquin Miller the "Poot of the
Sierras" who died suddenly in Cali-
fornia" recently was one of the-
unique and picturesque characters
of American literary life. He was
too. young to be a forty-niner bat
his parents moved West about this
time and he was reared in the ro-
mantic atmosphere which gavecokr
to the life of adventure of tint day.
It is this he has embalmed in beau-
tiful verse and fiction.
