yesterday and spent the day meeting
and conferring with the citizens.
In an interview given The Tribune,
Mr. Seagraves expressed himself en-
thusiastically anent the possibilities
and prospects of Matagorda County.
His conversation led us to believe that
the Santa Fe is prepared to enter the
general scheme of development that
now seems to be so apparent for this
section. He is very familiar with con-
ditions in Matagorda County, knows
some of our prominent land owners
personally and speaks highly of the
soil, climate and location.
As the Santa Fe line extends en-
tirely through the county from the
Matagorda-Wharton Counties line at
Magnet to the bay shore at Matagorda,
the value of development along the
line appeals strongly to the officials I
of the road.
There may or may not be a huge
colonization scheme in the making, in
so far as the Santa Fe is concerned,
but there is an interest being worked
up in the matter by the system, no
doubt.
The railroads will find our people
more than willing to meet them on
any concerted move along the lines of
such a scheme, and are not unmind-
ful of the power the roads could lend
to such an undertaking.

STORY OF THE PLAY.
The traditional spade of Foxcourt
school is hidden by the freshmen, who
challenge the seventh grade to find
it by the night of the freshman frolic.
The seventh grade search proves fu-
tile. much to the distress of the class
members, since by their failure, the
freshmen are privileged to crown
their president Queen of the May, an
honor which, by right, belongs to the
finder of the spade. Maisie, Helen,
and Patty meet in solemn conclave
and by a feat of fate discover the
long-lost spade. While discussing a
new hiding place, their conversation
is overheard by an adherent of the
freshmen, who promptly reveals the
secret to his friends.
Patty, the mouse, who is wise, and
far-seeing, and who catches a glimpse
of the eavesdropper, prepares a bogus [
spade which she stealthily hides in.

Every city and hamlet in the land
claims to lead in something, if you'll
only listen to the pillars in its chant
her of commerce.
But give it to the beautiful little
town of Alvin, just across the line in
Brazoria County, for being unique
in its claims for glory.
It produces and ships out annually
more Cape Jessamine buds than any
other place in the United States. It
is the only place from which last
year was shipped a whole carload of
the fragrant flowers to Northern
markets. The car was shipped out
April 23 and contained 150,000 buds,
consigned to 90 different customers,
valued at $3000. There's a great
story, fraught with human interest,
in tills Cape Jessamine business. It
will do to tell later.

Vacation time is near and I won-

that time? I expect, at least I hope,
that most of us will get our share of
fisihng and picnicking before the va-
cation days are over.
Everyone is glad when the school
turns out and he is free from thinking
of those everlasting math problems
and those dreadful long themes to
write, and. goodness, those Latin and
Spanish lessons nearly run him wild
when he begins to mix the thoughts
of them with the thoughts of vaca-
tion sports!
Vacation is all right, but just sup-
pose all of the days were vacation

this vacation, then let's settle down
to work next September and do more
than we have ever done with our

There's romance In the story of
Satsuma oranges. Many years ago
many tracts of land were sold to
Northern people by land agents, and
great stories were told of the wealth
in oranges. Many farmers, who had
never seen an orange tree, came to
Texas to grow Satsumas. Of course,
as is usual with the first settlers in
a new country, witli new crops and
new conditions, they failed The
government helped them to fall. Ex-
perts declared the oranges had the

its part. The government horticul-

For Instance the folks up there are
pretty strong against federal inter-
ference and a strong central govern-
ment. There is a reason
First, its leading citizens, give the
federal government most of the
blame for holding back its orange
industry because years ago tiie de-
partment of agriculture destroyed
most orange trees in a wide territory
because they claimed the canker was
. among them.
Then some years back the depart-
ment burned up all its cotton fields
and declared a non-cotton zone on
account of the pink boll worm and at
each session of congress since the
farmers have sent delegations there
to get an appropriation to recom-
pense them.
Again the foot and mouth quaran-
tine and slaughter of cattle destroyed
all but 11 of 75 dairies from there on
the road to Galveston.
Then there was a long wrangle with
United States engineers over run-
ning a big drainage ditch into Choc-
olate Bayou, and regularly county
oificials get notified to run J some-
where else, which would take a few
hundred thousand Brazoria County
has always ignored these orders.
Here's something it might be well
for Houston business interests to
ponder. There are four truck firms
running nine trucks daily out of Alvin
to Houston, besides two passenger
bus lines. Houston buys a large por-
tion of the eggs and milk and fruit
ami vegetables produced around Alvin.
Galveston gets her produce from
points closer, like Dickinson, Hitch-
cock and La Marque. But when Al-
vin goes to spend the money, she gets
from Houston, she goes to Galveston.
There is a good reason, although
Houston is four miles nearer. The
road to Houston is an abomination of
abominations. The road to Galves-
ton is a delight to travel. One of the
trade trippers in a speech to Alvin
folks Monday remarked that 90 per
cent of all the trade of Alvin went to
Galveston and Alvin folks admitted
it was true. And the same applies to
Angleton, Freeport, Chocolete und all
the country to the south, which is
connected by. fine road with Alvin.
Logically thi.- would all come to
Houston, the metropolis, but automo-
bile traffic follows the good roads.
An' n Blacksmith.
And Harris County has heard little
of it. but around Alvin there is a
pretty strong sentiment among some
to move the Harris County line far
enough over to include Alvin. Those
favoring it point ou there is quite
a contrast in the industrial and social
life of two sections of the big county.
Alvin lias 2500 population and
only five negroes. This small negro
population is a leftover of the old
days when me of 'hose signs “Don't
let the sun go down on you" was
directed to negroes. That sign pass-
ed many years ago with a changed
attitude, but evidently negroes haven't
forgotten it.
