BEING PLANNED
Two Connecting Roads to be
Built Between Military
Highway and Cameron
County's Highway

The opening Of two new roads 10 con
meet the military highway with Highway
No. II. IN proposed by the commission
ers' court. the roads. each ~ which will
be approximately six miles in length. to
connect with the concrete highway at
Olmito and near Rarreda. A jury of
view was appointed BY the commission
ers' court several weeks ago. and their
report will probably be rendered at the
next session of the court.
One of the connecting links between
the concrete highway and the military
highway will be constructed along the
line between Water District No. 2-the
San Benito disfrict-and the Barreda
tract. and win extend from In Paloma
10 a point on the concrete highway
north Of Barreda. 1t may be possible to
secure right Of way through the Bar
reda tract which will bring this highway
due west from tif.it point a. Ia Paloma.
The other highway will run between
Encantada. On the military highway. and
Olmito. where IL will connect with the
concrete highway.
As soon as the jury Of view reports
and the right of way j. secured. the work
of clearing and grading these roads viii
be started. and they win probably be
ready for traffic soon after the be-
ginning Of the year. The commissioners
propose 10 make them full width roads,
and they will be well graded and drained.
The construction Of these connecting
lines will assure the residents along
the upper section Of the military road
access TO the county seat at all times.
Roth roads join the military highway
above the point where travel II generally
cut off during high water. II win also
give Santa Maria and all intermediate
points 10 Ia paloma a straight read
through to Point Isabel. going by way Of
Parreda.
The residents along the military
highway will have two good connections
with the concrete highway when these
roads are completed member of the
commissioners court stated this morn
ing. and ii viii eliminate TIE 'ong route
through HarlinEen for the Santa Maria
residents. 1t win place them in closer
contact with the rest Of the county. give
them straight road through to the
county seat. and will prove a biz
factor in solving some of their mcst
perplexing highway problems. We have
been contemplating these cut offs fer
some time and hope TO have them COM
pleted al the earliest possible date

Another Warning to Southern Cot

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 3.-Current
activities against bucket shops pos
ing as odd lot cotton houses Is only
a prelude to a campaign to rid New
York of all fraudulent brokers, At
torney General Carl Sherman an
nounces. Injunctions will be sought
by him restraining firms against
which complaints are proved.
THE recent failures of odd lot
cotton houses should warn small
traders in cotton in the south to take
every precaution that brokers with
whom they deal are reliable and re-
money to them," he said.
Complaints which have reached
our office indicate that millions of
dollars will be lost by persons of
small means in the south who have
been induced to speculate in cotton
in odd lots" said Deputy Attorney
General WILDER Chambers.
The operations Of the cotton buck
bishops have been widespread In the
south.
Taking advantage of the advanc-
ing market in raw cotton. these So
called brokerS-many of whom have
never bought or sold a bale of ac-
tual cotton in their lives-have or
ganized a network of agents through
out the cotton belt, in which thou
sands of farmers, shopkeepers. clerks
and laborers have been caught. The
headquarters of these operations is
New York, and, while in a majority
of cases the victims have invested
only Il few hundred dollars, the busi-
ness has been conducted on such an
extensive scale that the combined
losses will run into the millions"
