HARLINGEN'S activity in recent
months in connection with the Intra-
.oastal Canal, proposed TO connect
he Mississippi river with the Rio
FTfaade,~ has resulted in bringing the
927 convention of the Intracoastal
Waterways League to the Lower Rio
irande Valley.
Al Parker, one of the leaders in
he activity, returns to the Valley
highly enthusiastic over the possi-
,ilities of further extensions of the
.anal, from Corpus Christi south
~ard.
While only 275 attended the con-
sention last week at Morgan City
which many Valley towns. includ-
x Brownsville, were represented.
r. Parker is convinced that easily
,e thousand will attend the Valley
invention.
By the way, The Herald was the
My Sunday morning newspaper in
he Valley to carry the news that
he 1927 convention would be held
n the Valley, which selection was
or unanimous.
NEWS CONES NOW that both
he Southern Pacific and Missouri
Pacific hearings for railroad extern
ions in Cameron county will be held
in Houston on December 2.
The Southern Pacific wants TO
build south from Harlingen to
Brownsville. The Missouri Pacific
finds that it needs an extension from
San Benito southeast TO a point on
the Rio Grande railroad.
The extensions will cross at right
angles. probably, and each will as
|sist in the development of great
deal of land that is not now under
cultivation. Which means further in
creases in the trade territory of San
Benito and Brownsville.
The southern part of Cameron
county stands to benefit handsomely
by the rail extension.

.tTHE USUAL EARLY fall call for
statements by the state and national
banks was passed up by the comp
trcilers of currency.
The reason is that the number of
calls a year has been reduced from
four to three, and no further calls
will be made until the end of the
year.
Had the banks of the Valley been
called upon for statements in the
latter days of August. they more
than likely would have shown de-
posits Of more than SCI. 100000 and
resources Of more than $4,000. 900,
which would have been the largest
figures in the banking history Of the
Valley.
Perhaps the next call will not
show the figures so large, but even
at that the Valley is considered to
be in splendid shape. Which is as
every one would have it.
THE EDINBURG Review announc-
cs that the official first" train of
the Southern Pacific will enter Edin-
burg over the new extension on De-
ccmber Is.
And Edinburg is planning great
Rcelebration for the day. to which il
lis inviting all the Valley. There
Twill be barbecued cabrito and beef
land other edibles.
President Scott Of the Southern
|Psrific hopes to be there. and so
&will II. NJ. Lull. assistant TO the
president.
Which indicates there will be a
series of celebrations, since Har.
1ingen later will stage one. as will
brownsville. McAllen. too, will cele-
axo{e and so will Hidalgo.
Nm fact. IL looks like the next year
going to be bad for goats in the
Nalley.
THERE Is NOT cloud on the
horizon Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. literally and figuratively.
Monday morning opened without a
al cloud in sight, and ccrulean
<ics held throughout the day. Tues
AZ opened similarly. and as this is
ritten not cloud Is visible.
Gould any one want any better
,eather than has been experienced
Ms fall season?
Rut. after all, little rain now
nd then Is good for our truck crops.
