IN OUR
VALLEY

retitlVe citrus fiult ana vegetable mar
kets of the country is best evidenced,
We believe. in the increasing anti-Nal-
ley publicity that is spread now and
then.
Witness The following telegram from
San Jose. Cal, dated October : and adj
dressed to /. l.. Bearden Of Brownsville:
Jewel saw pictures Of flood n show
Sunday night. What damage, If any,
was done in your part Of the country?
Hope nothing serious and all o. K. 10y
now II no mail out, let Us know by
wiring night letter AT my expense.
The telegram was turned over to See
retaiy q. l.. Williams Of the Board OF
City Development, who wired the send
er asking for the name Of the film COM
pany showing the pictures
Doubtless the showing of the news
pictures in California were based On the
recent high water in the Rio Grande.
But surely there was nothing unusual
about this high water.
Mail service was not intorferel with.
Train service was in no way hampered
No houses floated away. There was
even a noticeable scarcity Of the u.ual
dead tree trunks, limbs and other
wreckage that attends the seasonal rises
in the Rio Gradne.
Our guess il that some interest, in-
tent upon damaging the Lower Rio
Grande imposed upon a credulous peu-
Die in California, using news stories Of
the recent high water as a basis for
re-showing of some picture taken
months or Yeas ago.
That is possblo-it is even probable.
Let's not worry too much about these
things.
There is always reaction 70 them.
when folks interested in the future
of the Valley come here and see for
themselves, after hearing or seeing ad-
verse reports. they are better convincei
than they would have been had they not
had an experience with knockers.
Forget the knockers. Wei have
them with u always. The thing to do
is to advertise the Valley. We have the
where-with-all 20 back our arguments.

There are several new payroll. sehtd-

Things like these are the reasons for
the exceptional optimism that prevails
