. I'm OUR
VALLEY

THE DATE for the hearing on
-la, sputhern Pacific's application to
xt c(n d its Edinburg- HarlinTcn
ranch from Iarlingen to Browns
lille, has been fixed for December
(, the hearing 10 be held at Hous-
on before Examiner Burnside.
Or the following day. December 3
assuming that the Southern Pa
.ific hearing will be completed in
ime, the examiner will hear the
,lea OF the Missouri Pacific to ex-
tend the Spiderweb from San Benito
east 10 a connection with thee Rio
Grande railroad.
Since the two applications have
many features in common, and since
the two proposed roads will cross
at point somewhere between San
Benito and point ten miles east OF
San Benito, all Of the evidence is
likely to be considered together.
Doubtless there will be another
array of witnesses from the Lower
! Rio 0rande Valley. but it's our
guess that the testimony will be
largely what it was at the hearing
October a year ago. Which testi-
mony was that the Lower Rio Grandc
is great and glorious country. All
agree on that.
