Dr W F Blunt in charge
of the quarantine station here
yesterday received a letter
from Dr Swearingen state
health offieer at Austin in-
forming him that in respose to
the request of a committee
from the Galveston maritime
association he had decided to
reduce the detention of vessels
in quarantine from five to three
days The letter is as follows
Austin Tex Sept 17 W
F Blunt State Officer Galves-
ton Tex Dear Doctor W
A McVitie chairman of a com-
mittee rom the Galveston
le association on behalf
e association has urged
e reduction in time of deten
tion of vessels from nonTexas
ports arriving in good sanitary
condition with a clean bill of
health assigning as a reason
the crowded state of the ship-
ping facilities jand to facilitate
the moving of grain etc In
accordance with the request
taking into consideration the
lateness of the season I have
informed the committee that
I Instructions will be issued at
once to meet their wishes
You are therefore instructed
that on and after the receipt of
this letter to lessen the per-
iod of detention to three days
in case of vessels from non
Texas ports even if south of 25
degrees north latitude provid
ed the sanitary condition of
such vessels is good and they
bring clean bills of health The
lateness of the season and the
absence of disease at most of
the intertropic ports render a
relaxation of the rule entirely
safe with such precautions as
stipulated above Yours very

The Goodrich Real Estate
AND
Cameron County 13 the extreme
southern county of Texas It is
separated from Mexico by the Rio
Grande on the south and has about
100 miles of gulf coast as its east
em boundary It was organized in
1848 and contains 3308 square
miles Farming and stock raising
are the principal industries of the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for both
The greater portion of the soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed-
ingly heavy yield o both cotton
and corn the chief farm products
Two and sometimes thred crops of
corn averaging from fiftv tti seven-
ty bushels per acre are raised year
ly while cotton will easily jield
from one to two bales per acres
Grasses grow all the year and stock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter But
the soil and climate of the Lswer
Rio Grande VaLey are by nature
best adapted for the production of
vegetables and fruits Vegetables
a all kinds grow all the year
oround and northern people are as-
tonished to find tomatoes lettuce
spinach English pea3 etc served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter This is undoubtedly the par-
adise of track gardeners and so
soon as rail transportation is ob-
tained Cameron county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
nort hern markets during winter and
early spring and will obtain the
highest prices as there will be no
competition This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate Fre-
quently the entire winter passes
without a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cold weather before
Christmas Fruit culture has not
been attempted in this county on a
large scale bnt there is one large
banana plantation on which this
tlehcious frnit yields most abund-
antly and in the greatest perfection
Grapes are also raised extensively
growing in almost every yard They
ripen from two to four weeks ear-
lier than in any other section
Many planters here make all of
their own table wines Oranges
and lemons also grow in profusion
and this section could easily he
made to rival Florida in the pro
duction of oranges Sugar cane is
ulso one of the most important pro
pucts of this valley The Rio
Grande plantation of Mr Geo Bru
hiy and the Rabb Starck plantation
produce gr at quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Rio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is produced by
experts to be even supprior lo the
bpst Louisiana product Havana
tobacco ha < also proven a success
hero Col J G Tucker having
made some most successful experi
ments with it his samples were
classed by New York buyers as
equal to the best Havana
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with its ample flow along
the southern boundary and mini
erous small streams ca led arroya
and resacas
The population of Cnmpron coun-
ty according to the census of 1890
is 1342k Brownsville the countv
seit has a population of about
7000 Point Isabel the seaport of
the countv Inn about 400 inhabi-
tants stud Santa Maria a growing
little river settlement has about250
Improved lands sell for from 5
to 25 per acre unimproved for
fmni 2 to SO per aere The aver
agp taxable value of hnl is Si
There are 82240 acres of school
land in the countv The county
has a total u > hool population of
4400 and gives employment to 80
teachers The average length of
the school term is live moiths The
total tuition revenue received from
tne State is 13 000 1 here are a
number of public schools in the
county affording ample educutional
advantages
Homeseekers are gradually be-
ginning to tind their way to this
bind vhere iarmers can work in the
pen air 365 davs in the year but
it is comparatively undeveloped as
yet With the building of the
iailroud to Corpvs Christi however
a rreatinflu of settlers may be
expected and thev will be heartily
welcomed This valley is capable
of supporting millions of people B m A i JL XZili
