WANDERING ISLANDS.
Those of the Rio Grande Made Troubl*
For Us With Mexico.
The wandering islands of the Rio
Srande in their munitions froin side
:o side of the water course have caused
rears of diplomatic correspondence and
lisctisniijii between the United States
snd Mexico. The refusal of certain
miall bodies of land to remain perma
nently attached to one or the other of
the river's hanks deprived them of a
3xed legal status us either Mexican or
American territory and brought about
their participation in many illegal ad
ventures. which in "turn led to misun
lerstandings between the two coun
:ries.
In uo'river is spirit more evident
than In the I Mo Grande. Along Its
dnuous route below Iiio Grande City
It pushes Its way through miles of
level sand in its final reach for the
ljulf. twisting and doubling upon itself
rtke a sen serpent. In 1S4S it was tir
ed upon as the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico. The
boundary was to be the "middle of the
river, following the deepest channel."
But the river possessed characteristics
that had not Impressed themselves
upon the framers of the convention as
possible causes of friction between the
people living along its banks. In ad
dition to its eroding power, exercised
through long months of low and mean
water, it could during flood periods
leap with torrential force across a
narrow neck of land nt the base of one
of Its long loops and cut for itself a
new channel. Through such avulslve
action of the river Texas soil would
sometimes become Mexican, and on oc
casions a plantation occupied by Jacals
and Mexican citizens would overnight
find itself a part of Texas.
An example win serve 10 mm» mu
tbe extraordinary notions of the river
and the difficulties in the way of any
satisfactory adjustment of conflicting
interests. A certain Joslah Turner be
gan to farm the Galveston ranch, on
tbe Texas bank. Eight years later be
was surprised when 221 acres 5f Mexi
can land came across tbe river and at
tached itself to his ranch. An arrange
ment was effected by which he became
Wie owner of this land. Six years later
the river cut off a piece of Mr. Tur
ner's land and took It to Mexico. Twen
ty-one years later the river uiade up its
mind to repay tbe farmer for what It
had taken frorti him and so carried
back Into Texas a piece of land far
larger than tbe tract originally lost
The Mexican owners claimed posses
sion, and a new convention dealing
with the questions under dispute be-'
came necessary.
Brigadier General Anson Mills, D.
S. A., appoiuted to represent the United
States, recommended that tha "cutoffs"
be forever eliminated from the bound
ary line, all those occurring on tbe
right of the river to pass lo the juris
diction of Mexico, those on the left to
that of Texas. The Inhabitants, if any,
should retain their citizenship in the
country from which they had been so
suddenly and violently detached, or
they might acquire the nationality of
the country .to which they were now
attached. Any cutoff exceeding 650
acres in area and having a population
of over 200 souls was not to be consid
ered a banco, and the old lied of the
river should remain the boundary. A
convention embodying his recommenda
tions was finally ratified by both coun
tries. Thus the great turbid, silt bear
ing river is left to pursue its way un
trammeled, but the terrors so long syn
onymous with Its name have through
the operation of this equable .arrange
ment become a part of the storied, ro
mantic past
