Interest in d proposed new post office for the Berlin district has reached a high pitch, and it Is eS- pected that plans will be formulated soon for the circulating 6 petition which when filled, will be sent to Congressman E. Hart Fem, in order that he may have the sentiment of residents of the town,
 A prominent citizen stated today that the Idea of erecting a post of flee building at the corner of Hudson street and Worthington Ridge, on the turnpike, has met with favor although some residents arc Of the opinion that such an edtticc should bc placed at the corner of school street and Pennington avenue.
 It is proposed that the library f'e placed In the same building with the post office.

 But there is another idea which is rapidly assuming vast popularity and that is the removal of the structure on Berlin street, belong Ing; to F.. E. Cny ynamitc) Jones, and the erection on that property Of q post office building.

FOR WETNESS'

Oppose Governor

The board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
Episcopal Church opposes Gov. Al
Smith Of New York. for his wet
ness, not for his religion" its sec
retary, DR.. Clarence True Wilson.
said today in his annual report. He
also took occasion to commend Presi-
dent Coolidge's stand on prohibition
enforcement in his message to Con-
gress.
The Methodist church is not seek
ing temporal power in Washington,
said DR.. Wilson's report, nor is it
lobbying, but is exercising through
the board its full right of petition
and organizing public influence.
The defeat Of Senator Wadsworth
of New York, was described as lone
of the most significant victories pro-
hibition forces have vet won" Wads-
worth was charged with responsible
ity for steering dry legislation Into
the ditch" at the last session Of con-
gress.
This showed that the ditch was
his favorite place" said DR.. Wilson.

In denying that religion was the
motive behind opposition to Governor
AL Smith, he DECLARED that the TEN
perance forces would have been sup
porters of Senator Walsh Of Mon
tana, who. like Smith, is communi-
cant Of the Catholic Church, if he
had been nominated by the demo

We shall stand for a man who is
loyal to the 18th amendment and its
enforcement regardless OF whether
he is a Methodist, Catholic or jew,
he added.
The Anti-Saloon League and other
dry organizations supported Frank
L. Smith for the senatorship in Illi-

cause he stood for prohibition.

C.P.BARREDA
DEAL WILDE
CLOSED soon
News in Houston Pa
pers Premature, At
torney For Owner
Announces Here

Reports in Houston newspapers of
the conclusion of the Barreda land
deal, involving the transfer of ap-
proximately 1000 acres of land, i'm
cluding three miles of river front
age, at price of about 81 ,750. 900,
were premature, +. w. Seabury, attor-
ney for c. Z. Barreda, the owner, said
today.
Mr.. Seabury indicated, however,
that the deal is rapidly approaching
its final phases, and its CONCLUSION is
a matter of only day or so.
According to the Houston papers,
the announcement was mdae by j. V.
Brassfield of Chicago, head Of the
syndicate which is to take over the
property. Brassfield, accompanied by
several Chicago capitalists and their
wives, stopped over in Houston for a
few hours en- route from the Valley
to their homes in Chicago.
Other members of the party were
+. G. Gillock, banker and oil man of
Tulsa, who, under the firm name of
the Gillock development Company
conducted the earlier details of the
deal, S. B. Bass, member Of the Chi
cago Board of Trade, and NJ. NJ. Birn-
baum, a Chicago broker.
Brassfield was quoted as stating
that the new owners of the property
already had engineering plats pre-
pared for the irrigation project, in
cluded in which are concrete lined
canals which will cost about $500, 900.
He also said that a branch line of the
Southern Pacific will penetrate the
property.
1t is the intention of the syndicate
to subdividc and market the property
in 10 and 20-acre tracts through the
Gilloek development Company. which
will establish offices in Detroit. Kan
sas City, and probably Brownsville.
The first excursion to the property
will be about December Is, and week
ly excursions will be held thereafter
il was stated.
The Barreda property is one of the
largest undeveloped acreagcs avail
able in the irrigated section of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, and is said
to contain among the finest land in
the Valley. Its development, real es-
tate man say, will mean much to the
development of the cities of Browns
willie and San Benito. Ii is also like
| ly that town will be developed al
