and vegetables, as well as flowers, to
grow here that will not thrive under
present conditions.
Four members of this committee,
R. C. Mecklin, .1. L. Cross, Tom Sim-
ons and E. R. Erard. upon invitation,
met with the resident engineer at Ar-
ansas Pass in the Nueces hotel at
Corpus Christi last Friday night and
had a lengthy conference with him re-
garding the feasibility of such a pass
and the necessary steps to be taken
to forward the work. Mr. Donovan, the
engineer, stated that it would be ne-
cessary to get the permission of the
Secretary of Wur at Washington be-
fore any steps could be taken and ad-
vised the committee to secure all ne-
cessary data regarding the pass, get
estimates from contractors about its
relative cost, consult with Major
Schley, Federal Engineer at Galves-
ton. He blieved the project feasible,
though he claimed he had made no in-
vestigations more than from the fig-
ures given by the surveying party as
above outlined.
Letters have been sent oul to diff-
erent contractors, and further data
will be forthcoming within a short
time.
To say the least of it, the project
lias gotten beyond "just talk," and if
the committee gets the necessary
moral support and financial support,
the pass bids fair to become a reality.
(From the South Texan)
Prof. W. If. Warren has been ap-
pointed by the Government as weath-
er observer for this district. lie lias
been supplied with a rain guage and a
thermograph, and will make monthly
reports on the local rain fall. The
temperature records from the thermo-
graph will he sent in with the rain
report. These records will be of con-
siderable importance to this section
because of the fact that this is an in-
land point and the temperature and
rainfall are not the same here as in
Corpus Christi or Brownsville.
The rain guage has been set up on
the campus east of the main building,
and the thermograph will lie installed
there as soon as a proper housing can
be constructed for it. These instru-
ments are government property and
are under government protection.
Mr. Warren hopes to secure an
Anemometer, later on, for the purpose
of recording wind velocities. However,
because of the nearness of the weath-
j er station at Corpus Christi, and the
! negligible variation in the wind be-
\ tween this point and the Coast this in-
strument will have to lie supplied by
the college, as the one at Corpus
Christi adequately serves the purpos-
es of the government for this area.
Kv. Knights Templar
To Go to Corpus
On Tuesday April 6th practically
the whole membership of Kingsville

mandery at the Annual gathering in
Corpus Christi. It is expected that
there will be between sixty and sev-
enty five Knights going from Kings-
ville which will include the Command-
ery band. The Grand Cammandery
meeting will extend from the 6th to

Nice Strawberries
Raised in Kingsville
Mr. 1\ D. De La Fosse is a valued
j employee of the railroad shops, and
| ni his spare hours makes a little
j spending money selling nursery stock,
j his specialty being citrus fruit, but he
! is also a past master at raising straw*
berries as was attested by a magnifi-
cent sample brought to this office;
some of the very finest berries we
have even seen grown, and bear in
mind that part of the “we" came from
the famous strawberry belt of East
Texas, where none but the finest will
grow. Mr. DeLaFosse claims credit
for growing the berries, but inasmuch
as Mrs. DeLaFosse is showing some
magnificent roses just now, there is a
faint suspicion that she too is respon-
sible for tlie berries. No matter,
though, who grew them they were
just fine.
Miss Ruth Robinson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Allie Robinson, who live
a short distance southeast from
Kingsville, died very suddenly last
Sunday evening, her death coming as
a great shock to her many friends.
Miss Ruth had been seriously ill with
j pneumonia, but was thought to he
j convalescing. Her friends were told
! Sunday that she was much better and
every hope was held out for her
speedy recovery. But Sunday afternoon
' she became suddenly worse and died
within a short time.
Funeral services were held from
the Methodist church Monday after-
noon, 3:30 o’clock, her pastor, Rev.
F. B. Buchanan, conducting the ser-
vice. Great banks of flowers in the
church" and at the cemetery attested
the love of a host of friends. The
members of the Sophomore class of
tile Kingsville High School, of which
she was a member, were present in
a body at the church, bearing beauti-
ful flowers, some individually, others
in great wreaths, all typifying their
love for their school mate. Pall bear-
j ers were Ted Arnst, Paul Beck. Floyd
Bolin. (Mias. D. Fling, Rex Wright.
: Sydney Mork and Norman Mork. Af-
I ter the service at the church the body
| was carried to Chamberlain Burial
Park and laid to rest.
Surviving her are her father and
| mother. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, and
\ two sisters, Grace and Nelda. Mrs. C.
i Powell, brother of Mrs. Robinson, and
; the grandmother, Mrs. N. E. Robinson,
and Mrs. J. C. Sheppard and family of
Weslaco, were present at the fueral
j obsequies.
I The sympathy of the entire com-
j munity is extended to the bereaved
! ones.

All kinds of weather has been hand-
ed out in Kleberg county during the
past week, from the warmest, balmi-
est days of spring time in South Tex-
as to near frost Tuesday night of this
week. There lias been rain, damp, fog-
gy days, days when the wind was so
high and cold that one really got peev-
ed at South Texas, days when the sun
shone so bright and the air was so
balmy that one was glad to be alive
and living here. But all the blame for
the cool weather is to be laid at the
door of that God forsaken Panhandle
country to the north of us, where six
(inches of snow is reported. Wednes-
