REPORT FAVORS
EXPERIM
STATION BILL
Senate Agricultural Commit
tee Report Practically AS
sure Favorable Action by
State Senate

The Rio Grande Valley is one step
nearer the attainment Of an experiment
RI station. according to a telegram r.
ceivcd last night from Representative
A. l.. Lewis. which stated that the SEN
ate agricultural committee had reported
fasorably on the bill proposing the es-
tablishmcnt of an agricultural expert
mcnt station in either Cameron or Hi
slalgo counties. The report of the agri-
cultural committee is understood to have
been unanimous. and sponsors Of the
Valley experiment station express the
opinion that the senate will pass the
measure and the necessary appropriation
IL the same manner as the house
unanimously.
A telegram was received this morning
Is Courty Judge Oscar G. Dancy from
H. preventative Lewis. which states that
the final passage Of the measure has
been practically assured by the COM
miiircs report. and he requested the
indrr 10 arrange 4 mre''n. - Harli nwcn
Saturday afternoon. which Representa-
tive Lewis will attend. for the purpose
of considering the -ituatiou. Judge Dan
cy stated today that he will attempt to
SECURE representatives from every town
and community in Cameron county TO
bc present at the Harlingen conference.
Much speculation il being indulged in
regarding tho location Of the expert
mental station. and there will be some
rivalry among the towns and commuri-
ties Of the Valley in regard 60 this
matter. Recommendation of the state
extension department will undoubtedly
be sought h. The Legislators prior to
definitely determining the site. and all
phases OF Valley agriculture viii be
taken into consideration. II is asserted.
"Thc experiment station viii rcvolu-
tienizc agricultural conditions in the
Valley within few vcarS." a repre-
sentative Of the state extension service
gated recently. at should be- and IN
doubtcdly will be located ~ the point
where IL will prove OF the greatest value
to all Valley communities. Its location
is n minor matter when compared with
the great benefit every Valley farmer
ard every Valley business interest will
eventually derive from IL. Valley soil.
VALLEY climate and Valley products are
so radically different from those OBJ
tanning in any other section Of the
state that an experiment station is
very essential. and The unanimous ap-
prevail given by the lower house Of the
Legislature indicates that they fully ap
preciste what M experiment station will
mean 70 the Valley

FIREMEN USE MASKS
IN 10TH STREET BLAZE
Gas Crate, in Which Wood Had
Been Ignited, Cause of FURRY
and $4,000 Loss.

Firemen were forced to use gas
masks in fighting a blaze which
started at 311S 10th street last night
when a wood fire was kindled In a
fireplace intended only for gas log.
The house and contents were dam
aged to the amount of $1,000.
The false chimney did not carry
off the smoke and when Mrs. Grace
Fleischman. occupant of the house.
saw the building filing with smoke
she had the fire department notified.
When firemen reached the scene the
dense smoke in the house made work
difficult. Private G.. A. Cole of No.
6 truck company donned gas mask
in order to gain access to the prem
Uses to open doors and windows to
permit the escape of the smoke. Lad
ders were raised TO the upper win
dows to enable firemen to reach the
upper portion of the house from
where they could throw water on the
flames the fire having burned through
the chimney to the third floor before
their arrival.
Several firemen were slightly af-
fected by the smoke. The fire at
tracted the attention Of scores Of
motorists on 10th street. Mrs. George
P. Kinmel, occupant of the adjoin-
'nsr house. owns the property.
