Only A Few More
Left to Sell
HEN we announced that Blocks 616, 660 and 680 were on the market at
$200 for corners and $150 for inside lots, the corners were all sold within
two weeks. Block 61 6 is sold entirely, there are only a few left in 660 and
fully one-half of 680 is gone. „The very low price and the liberal terms of
$ 1 0 down and $ 1 0 per month without interest is making this property sell rapidly.
If you want in on this gilt edge investment, send in your application with $ 1 0 as
the first payment today, or write for particulars. Better not wait to write for they
are likely to be all sold before you can get an answer. Ask anybody who has been
to Aransas Pass about the lots numbered “six hundred.”

The Two Dredge Boats.
Possibly there are some wh© do
not fully appreciate She full signi-
ficance of the two mammoth
dredge boats which are now and
have been for some ttime continu-
ally working in the 'harbor, and
through Harbor Island. The ca-
pacity of either of 'these boats is
one hundred feet daily of a chan-
nel eight and o®e half feet deep
by one hundred feet wide, and it
can thus be estimated that the
two dredges are surely accom-
plishing some good work.
As they merrily make their way
through the island, the clay and
shell from the bottom of the chan-
nel is being thrown into a dump
alongside, and this dump will be
used for a road bed, and become
the property of the Aransas Pass
Terminal Railroad, which will
soon begin the laying of steel
from the mainland to the harbor.
Thus will bie afforded, not only
a connection by channel for the
oase of tugs and barges from the
deepest water in the harbor to the
mainland, but at the same time
provisions will be made for hand-
ling commerce from the ware-
houses on harbor island through
the service of the Terminal Rail-
road to the mainland, there to
make connection with railroads
for the outside world.
Another year will see the com-
merce of many nations being
handled through the new port of
Aransas Pass, than which there
will be no better or more available
on the Gulf Coast.

In a recent issue of the Trumpet
the following item appeared:
“From all reports the bottom
has fallen from Aransas Pass and
showed it up as one of the great-
est frauds worked . off on the
people.”
This itemlappeared merely as a
mi

'.
local because several State Line
City people have been or less in-
terested in the project But it
seems that the item strayed away
from home and the Aransas Pass
people think it is not treating
them fairly. The information was
based on what local people who
have been there reposted, but the
Aransas Pass people claim it is a
misrepresentation, and in writing
to the editor state that:
“Although as yet hardly a year
old Aransas Pass has increased
in population from 150 to more
than 2500 and is growing faster
now than it ever did before. The,
only set back it has ever had was
the closing of the doors of the
Union Trust Company of San
Antonio which' had a branch effice
here and deposits of $85,000 in
the local bank. Another bank
was opened and the deposits went
to $35,000 inside of three weeks.
The present Congress has appro-
priated $2 1 7,000 for continuing
the work of deepening the en-
trance to the harbor and for har-
bor improvements. The Aransas
Pass Channel & Dock Company
is spending one million dollars in
dredging a channel from the main-
land at this point to the deep
water harbor and establishing
wharves, docks and warehouses.
“Recently this town has volun-
tarily offered a bonus of $50,000
with right of way for any railroad
that would build from this place
to the north for a connection with
trunk lines.
“There is no chance for the
bottom to fall out. It is well cork-
ed, sealed, plastered and spiked,
and we drive a new spike every
day or two.”—Texico, New Mexico,
Trumpet.
