VALLEY PROSPECTS BRIGHTER THAN
EVER.

Although the recent outbreak Of o|utlawry
III the border. due 10 the unsettled condl-
ton of the Mexican frontier, naturally
may do some injury, %retarding land sales Ia
some extent and possibly delaying land de-
velopment slightly. yet those~who know the
wonderful possibilities Of this country, and
especially those who are acquainted with
the actual situation here now. have no
fears for the future of the Magic Valley.
Indeed. the immediate future looks bright
er than ever. With the restoration of
peace in Mexico. and the maintenance OF a
strict guard along the frontier until law
and order are reestablished IN our neigh
Dor republic. conditions here will soon be-
come entirely normal. In fact. as a result
of the vigorous measures taken by the
state and national military authorities, the
situation has already improved greatly, and
the little bandit trouble (so-called) will
soon be forgotten.
Meanwhile. with the important railroad
project now placed before the Valley By
the Brownies Of Brownsville. no better evi-
dence Of the confidence of local capital in
The immediate future of tins country could
ne desired. So sure are these entcrprISIng
capitalists that this country offers the best
possible field for investment. they are will

with water transportation ~ Point Isabel.
provided Valley people will pledge the small
bonus of S75 1000 required. and will guar
antee the completion ~ the project within
n wear Of the signing ot the bonus notes.
This act of the Browne nj ~uch a time Is
one of the most hopeful indications that
propertv owners in the Valley could pos
sibly ask.
Added to this great opportunity now Of
fered the Valley. j. the pending oil develop
ment. With oil agents seeking 10 obtain
leases covering almost every available foot
of ground here, there Is every reason 10
believe that the oil men have seen, with
their X-ray eyes. something that looks sus-
piciously like immensely rich oil deposits
beneath the surface ~ our richly endowed
Valley soil.
Further industrial enterprises If i'm
portance are also pending here. which viii
give added impetus to the growth and de
yelopment of Brownsville and the entire
Valley. Indeed. it can be said with all con
f;dence that the immediate future for
Brownsville and the Valley never looked
brighter than Just AT this moment. Il Won
