DELEGATION TO
AUSTIN ON CO.
ROAD FINANCES

County Judge Oscar G. Dancy.
Mayor A. B. Cole, S. c. Tucker and
Judge A. w. Cunningham Of Har-
lingen leave this afternoon for San
Antonio and Austin for the purpose
of taking up with the state highway
commission the matter of securing
Cameron county's dollars matched"
in continuing the construction of the
concrete highway in Cameron county.
Judge Dancy and others are still
at variance as to the amount of the
county bond project of 100000 that
can be sold under present valua-
tons. some contending that around
100000 can be sold, while Judge
Dancy believes that it will be much
less than this. The Brownsville men
are optimistic as regards state and
federal assistance, and they leave
for Austin under the belief that lib.
eral assistance will be received from
the government funds.
Most of the party expect to return
about Sunday, but the county judge
may remain over to attend the meet
ing of the highway commission on
the 23rd.
Judge Dancy, before leaving, made
the following statement:
Before the bond election we had
all the assurances that reasonable
men could ask of reasonable men
that we would get the limit of aid
in case we were able to finance our
portion. Dur portion would take
nearly all the issue of 100000,
which present valuations will not
bear; and, while as matters stand,
we have no promise Of aid, | am GO
ing to do my best to get aid to put
the road through the water districts
west of Harlingen. This is about
two-thirds of the highway between
the end of the present pavement and
the Hidalgo county line.
Though quoted TO the contrary,
have committed myself as favoring
going through the water districts as
distinguished from the entire dis
lance west Of Harlingen. have ev-
Fry reason to believe that, if neces-
sary, the people in the north end
will create a special district up there
and take care Of the other one-third
so that we should soon have a paved
road from this side Of San Benito
to the Hidalgo county line, and on
to San Antonio, and then | am sure
that the road from San Benito to
Brownsville will follow at very
early date"
According to information to Judge
Dancy, Jim Wells county boted its
road bonds last Saturday, but Live
Oak county turned down an issue.
This. he said, means one of two
routes to San Antonio, one Of which
will be nearly ten miles nearer and
the other seven miles further. The
county Judge predicted paved road
from Brownsville to San Antonii in
two years.

Forest Timber Sales are
Heaviest Since World War

w. B. Wiley, supervisor of the
Jefferson National forest, Friday or
dered the advertisement of some l.
600, 900 feet of saw timber on Upper
Belt creek, near Neihart, which is the
largest advertised sale of timber bv
the forestry department at any time
since the war. The demand for timber
for use by the mines at Neihart and
Barker, the Lewistown Lath COM
pany at Neihart and by farmers and
ranehers of the Upper Belt creek sec
ton has resulted in the big sale being
advertised. The Silver Dixie mine.
which is now building new camps on
Carpenter creek, will take a large part
of the timber, and the Block p. mine
at Barker some 200, 900 feet.
In addition to these major sales.
there have been a great number of
calls from the ranchers for timber,
Wiley aid-Ninea-saaassa zz7as
will be the chief drainage upon the
forest this year and a large part will
into actual construction work and
these two industries. The greater
part of the timber taken out will be
lodgepole pine, although there will
be a little yellow pine, some spruce
and some fir.
Three lightning fires have been
the only ones reported in the forest
this year. There have been no cases
fires statred by the carelessness Of
campers, although the number Of
campers in the forests has probably
been at least up to normal.
