A Herald representative met
General Manager Jeff N. Miller at
his car this morning and found
him in jovial good humor. He
tells us his extensions all along the
-line are progressing as favorably as
could be asked the weather the
past several weeks being very pro-
pitious for railroad work. -Mr.
Miller says the road to Algoa 22
miles from Galveston where con-
nection with the main line of the
Santa Fe is made will be completed
by the first of Tanuarv 1906' and
trains will be running into that
city over the Santa Fe track with
which trackage arrangement will
be made temporarily. Asked as to
the reported extension toTampico
Mr. Miller said no survey had been
made of the route and it was not
known at present just what would
be done in the matter. He said
eastern connections were the main
thing to be looked after at present
and later the other project would
probably receive attention. As to
the bridge over the Rio Grande
about which humors galore have
been circulated Mr. Miller says
whenever the company gets ready
to build it the public will receive
notice in ample time but our peo-
ple must patiently wait until such
time as the Gulf Coast Line sees
fit to take the matter up. That
there will be a bridge at Fordyce
there can be little doubt as the
Pacific coast businesss will demand
it and the same is true of Browns-
ville regarding business for that
direction when the Tampico ex-
tension is made. At present it is
a matter of guess work and the
nearer you come to actual condi-
tions will depend in a great meas-
ure on your ability as a guesser.
Railroad companies like good busi-
ness men do not herald to the
world in advance their intentions
and this very fact leads The
Herald to the opinion that some
important news may be expected
in the near future.- Mr. Miller
promises The 'Herald to let our
people know when matters of im-
portance to this section have reach
ed satisfactory arrangement and
until this time arrives everybody
please keep as cool as possible and
be prepared for the .good news.
Mr. Miller and other officials of
his line were here for the purpose
of closing up their terminal busi
ness getting maps deeds etc
and left at 3 o'clock this afternoon
in higlL good humor over their
Nearly AH Cotton Enemies Survive the
1 Winter on Plants Farmers Neglect.
I .
vvasmngton june iz. a new
cottcn publication issued by the
Department of Agriculture under
the'eaption Miscellaneous Cotton
Insects in Texas7' after extensive-
ly treating the subject" concludes
as follows:
"it will have been observed that
most of the common insect enemies
of cotton named feed upon various
common weeds which grow up in
neglected or uncultivated fields
and that by the destruction of such
weeds and winter plowing where
they have grown the insects in-
habiting them will be largely con-
trolled. The thorough cultivation
during the late fall winter and ear-
ly spring of all land to be planted
or which has been infested will
also be the means of srreatlv re
ducing their numbers by killing
many of the stages then hibernat-
ing in the soil. These two general
principles must be relied upon to a
large extent for the control of most
of the minor cotton insects when
they become overabundant those
leaf eaters which chew their food
may be poisoned with paris green
or other arsenicals used as a dust
or made into a mash with bran.
"More extensive cultivation will
undoubtedly realize in a material
lessening of thk injury by these
pests for in the Eastern cotton
growing urates tney are by no
means as injurious as in Texas so
far as the records indicate. The
better methods of cotton culture
generally recommended by this de
partment during the past few years
will undoubtedly result in the les
senmg or injury by all tne more
common cotton insects."
Cuban Congress Has Under Considerate m
Such a Measure.
New Orleans La. ' 'There i :;o
doubt now but that the bill which
was introduced before the Cuban
Congress last fall in the interest of
American rice will le passed within
a few weeks at the furthest" said
W- W. Duson of Crowley who ar-
rived from Cuba. "There was a
motion to defer action on the meas-
ure last week which was defeated
by a vote of 31 to 2 which shows
that sentiment is all with the meas-
ure. The passage of this bill will
mean a very great increase in the
market for American rice. We will
then be able to supply fully two-
thirds of the rice Cuba consumes
whereas at this time we do not fur-
nish any ot the rice used on that
island. The duty at this time is
$1.20. Under the Spanish regime
it was $3:30. We are asking that
the new bill now being considered
fix the duty at $2.75."

Do Your Own Thinking.
How7 essential it is that people
shall learn to think for themselves!
To say one would better think
wrong than not at all sounds -very
strange. But how does the child
learn to drive a nail ? Does he hit
on the head fairly and rightly each
time ? Alas no ! It hits the board
and mars it. The fingers too may
get a share of the pounding1 but
by constant effort and continual
practice it learns to drive a nail
and hit it squarely on the head
each stroke. So with thinking-;
we may make mistakes we may
not always reason just exactly as
we should but we need to learn to
think for ourselves. We like to
be independent financiailv. vet we ! nie valne or yur Property. Everj
seem to be content to let others think
for us. Others often seem to think
for us too and try to be our con
science. No we want to learn to
think for ourselves. True in our
reading we want that of the best
Writers and speakers; such are
good guides to teach us healthful
and elevating ways of thinking-.
The more we express our insignifi
cant thought the more and better
we become able to think. Justice.

El Paso Texas June 12. El
Paso's Chinese population which
numbers over 800 is greatly excit-
ed over a ruling of the Department
of Commerce and Labor by which
they are denied th'e privilege here
tofore granted them of going across
the Rio Grande to Juarez Mexico
at will to visit their "cousins."
The former inspector in charge at
this port issued permits to the local
Chinamen especially the native
born element allowing them to go
and return from Juarez at will.
Whea Theo Schmucker came here
to take charge he could not find
any warrant of law for such action
but on the contrary was of the
opinion that it was a menace to the
work of his force and that it might
have some serious results in con
nection with smuggling since the
permits might be transferred or
the local Chinamen could at least
furnish some valuable pointers to
the fellows on the other side of the
international boundary. He de-
clined to issue any further permits
and asked the department for ad
vice in the matter. The Washing
authorities have substantiated his
temporary ruling and ask that the
procedure be made permanent.
Death of John E. AMx.
A telegram was received In
.?re
Thursday announcing the death at
San Antonio of John E. Mix. of
Rio Grantie on the 8th hist. Mr.
Mix was one of the old land marks
of the Rio Grande country and the
sad news of his death will be re
ceived with sorrow by all. He was
a noble man and a staunch friend
and all who knew him feel that
they have sustained a personal loss.
His daughter Mamie and his life
long friend Mr. C. Valle arrived in
San Antonio from Rio Grande only
in time to see him breathe his hst
and then to take charge of his body
and convey it to Rio Grande for
interment. A. E. Chavez. John
M. Frank and Judge R. A. Marsh
met the mourners with the body at
McAllen station Friday evening
ana accompanied them to Rio
Grande. They were joined at
Fordyce by A. Dillard and several
other friends of the deceased. The
remains were laid to ret with im-
pressive Masonic honors. Hidalgo
