NEWS OF BRIDGE PROJECT
MAYBE EXPECTED SOON

News to the effect that E. n. Brown,
president of the National Line of Mex
leo, is in the East on business in con-
nection with the pending consolida-
ton of the National and Mexican Cen
trail roads would indicate that this
great deal, which has been pending
for so long, may be nearing consum-
nation. The report says, 1T is un-
derstood that on this trip Mr.. Brown
is giving considerable attention to
cetain legal details preparatory to the
actual transfer of the proprieties of
the National and Central to the new
corporation and their consolidation,
all of which it is believed will be ac-
complished in a comparatively short
time This being true, it may be ex-
pected that something definite will be
heard before long relative to the con-
struction of the international bridge
across the Rio Grande at this point.
AS stated in The Herald short time
since, the bridge project has probably
been deferred purely on account of
the National and Central deal not be-
ing perfected, and as soon as the mer-
ger of those two systems is finally ac-
complished. no doubt the bridge pro-
ject will be taken I'D.

The cotton fields of Texas are whit
ening fast with their feecy harvest,
and all over the state comes the de-
mand for cotton pickers Across the
Rio Grande there are thousands of
Mexican laborers, who would be glad
to make the money that is here to be
paid for picking the cotton, but that
little clause in the immigration laws
prohibiting the admission of alien
contract labor prevents the men and
the work from getting together. There
ought to be some provision in the i'm
migration laws to let such labor as
this through our ports. The law was
never intended to operate to the det-
riment of any American industry. and
yet it surely does that very thing in
this instance.

TUESDAY. AUGUST rs. 1908.
THE GREAT SUGAR BOWL

Elsewhere in today's Herald ap-
pears one of the most important ar
ticles that has been published in The
Herald for some time. This is
the report by F. a. Briggs. the special
staff correspondent of the Galveston
News, on the sugar industry in the
lower Rio Grande valley. The Her
aid has published many articles of
similar character, but it might have
been accused by distant readers per-
haps of taking a partial view of the
Importance Of this valley as sugar
country. Therefore, it is with es-
pecial pride that this paper repro
duces the carefully written article of
Mr.. Briggs on this particular subject.
The News representative may be be-
neved to have studied the matter
from an entirely impartial and dis
interested standpoint. Had there
been any flaw in the claims of The
Herald and others as to the supre-
macy of this wonderful valley as
sugar producer, this writer, with his
cold, impersonal view of things,
would assuredly have found it. He
was here for the purpose of giving
the News readers accurate informa-
ton, and he has done so.
Those who have doubted should
read Mr.. Briggs calm expression of
opinion and be convinced that the
lower Rio Grande valley is one of
the greatest sugar producing regions
in the world, the great sugar bowl
of the Americas" as it was christen-
ed by The Herald in its special edition
of 1905.

are taken from the books of a grower
who wished to arrive at balance and
learn what returns he was getting
for his investment and labor. The
minimum net returns per acre are
placed at 500.
The Labor Question.
Practically. there is no labor ques-
ton in the lower valley of the Rio
Grande. Labor is plentiful and cheap
and although not of the best class in
every instance, is suitable for this
climate. Prospective settlers need
have no fear on that score.
Truck and Fruit.
Almost anything under the sun
will grow in the lower valley of the
Rio Grande. This section ranks with
the best of them as fruit and truck
proposition. and there are hundreds
of acres in onions, cabbage, celery,
cauliflower, Irish potatoes, etc. Some
wonderful successes have been
chronicled, and many are interested
in that industry, which, with expert
ence in selling, will net large re-
turns per acre. However, it is be-
lieved that cane growing will take
precedence over truck in that part of
the valley nearest the river and truck
and fruit will take the second shelf
of the valley.
