WATERWORKS
NOW ASSURED
Company tiranted Charter at
Austin This Morning.
Brownsville Water Light and Power
Company A Home Enterprise
Launched By Efforts of Several
Enterprising Citizens.
Special to The Herald.
Austin Texas Oct. 31. The
application of the Brownsville
Water Light and Power company
for a charter was approved today
by the secretary of state and the
charter granted. The company is
capitalized at $100000. The fol-
lowing are named as the directors:
James B. Wells F.- Yturria Wm.
M. Ratcliffe Wm. Kelly E- C.
Forto and S. L. Dwonnan.
A HOME ENTERPRISE.
The enterprise shown by the
leading citizens of Brownsville in
organizing and launching this com-
pany is most commendable and
gives indication of a public spirit
and liberality that augur well for
the. future progress of our little
city. Of the capital stock the sum
of $25000 has been subscribed by
Brownsville people which makes
this essentially a home enterprise
To secure a charter it was nec
essary that at least ten "per cent of
the capital stock be paid up before
application for a charter was filed
and in order to comply with the
law without further delay the
sum of $1000 each was paid last
week by the following subscribers:
J. G. Fernandez F. Yturria Wm.
Kelly W. M. Ratcliffe E. C. For-
to S. L. Dworman and James B.
Wells. This sum added to sub-
criptions in smaller sums paid by
a number of others brought the
amount of cash paid in up to $11-
000 being $1000 over the required
sum. Too much cannot be said in
praise of these citizens for their
liberality in thus launching this
great enterprise.
The Herald is assured that no
time will be lost now in beginning
tlfe work of installing these utilities
and once begun the work will be
rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
Owen Ford is at work in St.
Louis negotiating with the Com
monwealth Trust Co. for the
amount necessary to complete the
work and there can be no doubt
that everything will be satisfactorily
arranged and actual work begun
within a very short pace of time
Notice.
Owing to the fact that there is
no collector at present members
of the Knights of Honor will call
on E. Turk treasurer and pay
their dues.

BIG EXCURSION
One Hundred Twenty-Five St-
Louis
Pcople Coming Here.
.Wm. D'ougherty general pas
senger and ticket agent of the
Gulf Coast Line S. H. Hughes
immigration agent of the Rock
Island H. B. Gregory and John
Moore capitalists of St. Louis
spent yesterday in our city guests
of the Miller and during the day
went to Point Isabel leaviug for
Diaz this morning to look over the
Yoakum canal in course of con-
struction at that point.
Mr. Gregory was here in advance
of a business men's excursion from
St. Louis to this city. The party
will be com posed of 125 of the
foremost merchants and business
men of St. Louis and will travel
in a special train consisting of
Pullmans dining cars etc.
Jeff N. Miller vice-president
and General manager of the Gulf
Coast Line will take the party to
Point Isabel to enjoy an oyster
roast and inspect the fine modern
hotel now tinder course of con-
struction at that popular seaside
resort.
Thos. H. West of the Union
Trust Co. and chairman Fordyce
of the executive comnyttee of the
Gulf Coast Line will be in the
party.
The train will leave St. Louis on
Dec. 2 traveling direct to Browns
ville and arriving here on the
seventh.
Rarely or never has Browns-
ville had an excusion that meant
so much to our country our town
and our people as this.
Our Business Men's Club and
citizens should do all in their power
to leave a favorable impresion of
our country on these men for they
are the men who are making and
will make our country settle up and
prosper. What we shoued do is
give them all the hospitality our
city can furnish give them all the
information they want about the
country and take them in hand and
show them .what we can do in an
agricultural and horticultural way
It is also the intention of Mr
Miller to secure a bull-fight on the
other side if the matter can be
arranged with the management of
the bull ring. Mr.- Miller says he
will furnish one-half of the crowd
by means of excursions on the St.
L. B. & M. if the matter can be
arranged.
Coming at this season of the
year there ought not to be any
especial uimcuity m securing a
large attendance and no doubt our
city can aid greatly in securing
the fight as an attraction for our
Northern visitors. This is a prop
osition that should be looked into
in proper time and steps taken to
make as much of the occasion as
possible. -
TO MAKE POSTAGE STAMPS.
American Bank Nofe Company Has Se-
cured the Contract.
t
New York October 30. After
February 1 next t'ie American
Bank Note company will manu-
facture all United States postage
stamps. Under a contract made
public yesterday the concern must
deliver 27000000 stamps daily six
times a week.
The American Bank Note Com
pany made the first postage stamps
used by the government and held
the contract up. to !3 years ago.
At that time the government went
into the business itself by manufac-
turing the Columbian issue and
down to this day the bureau of
printing and engraving has turned
out all stamps.
According to Warren L. Green
president of the bank note company
the government decided to employ i
a private institution again because
it can do the work cheaper.

HISTORY OF A COTTON BALE.
Note Placed Inside a Bale Is Answered?.
From Russia.
W. H. Parks Jr. of Enoti Tex.
is a ginner of cotton. Last fall he-
ginned a bale and placed in it a.
note asking the person who receive
ed and opened the bale to write to
him and let him know where it was?.
opened and the price paid. He has
just heard from this request about:
a year after the writing of the let
ter. His reply comes from the
shore of the far-off Baltic Sea irs.
Russia and is as follows:
"Reval Russia Aug. 23 (Sepr
5) 1906. The bale of cotton in
which your letter and blank memo
were found was received at the
Baltic mill Reval Russia via.
Bremen bought from Gebruder
Fritze of that city at 6.35d pex
signer pound-
"The writer suggests in the in-
terest of cotton merchants in-
America and spinners in this
country a more direct communi-
cation and attempt to foil rascally-
speculators.
"Baltic Spinning and Weaving
Manufactory-"
This commuuication gives ass
idea of the far reaching extent 06
our cotton industry. A bale put
up in the interior of Texas goes
through a number of hands
reaches its destination and is open-
ed 8000 or 9000 miles away
where it has been sent to be woven
into cloth- Revel is a manufac-
turing town of 65000 population
in the province of Esthonia in.
Russia.
The price paid according tor
this letter is 6.25 pence per signer
pound- We do not know what
"signer" means in this connection
but judging from the price paid it
is not the same as our own avoir-
dupois pound. The price (6.3S-
pence) is equal to 12 3-4c and:
that appears rather a small price
considering that this cotton passed
through the hands of several agents
or merchants and was carried more
than a third of the way around the-
world. The suggestion of tire-
Russian manufacturer is a ''good
one that cotton interests iii Amer-
ica and in Europe get closer to-
gether for the purpose of foiling
the operations of the speculators.
