I'm OUR
VALLEY

If THE PEOPLE Of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley were surprised last
winter when Commissioner Wood

| surprised Thursday afternoon when

Woodlock, Meyers and Hall, granted
I, the permit.
There was general noise the
length and breadth of the Valley
4 Thursday afternoon.
The first message to reach the
!. Valley, probably. was an Associated
2 Press dispatch to The Brownsville
l1l1erald, which reached this city at
::07 p. m.
lr,, The Herald goes to press earlier
d han most afternoon newspapers,
r Tue to the fact of its widespread
articulation over the Valley, which
: made il impossible to get the big
news into the regular edition.
4 !. An extra was issued and distrib-
uted over the Valley as quickly as
I possible.
n BUT THE HERALD was not the
only newspaper that issued an extra.
The San Benito Light. which has
n somewhat later press hour. caught
= the story for it's regular edition.
The Harlingen Star, taking note of
the fact that Harlingen is one of the
towns to be directly affected, is
sued an extra edition.
The Edinburg Review issued an
A extra edition.
The morning Telegram issued an ex-
Ftra edition.
There may have been others, but
these comprise the list that came
to our attention.
THE FIRST intimation Of a pos
sible decision Thursday in the S. p.
case reached private parties in
Brownsville during the morning
hours Thursday. They came from
San Antonio.
But no particular attention was
given them. There have been made
other rumors recently. No one
wanted to be disappointed.
Brownsville. which hopes eventu-
\ ally TO be included in the Southern
Pacific plans, was just as eagerly
\ receptive to the news as was any
Of the towns directly affected.
X Herald extras were scooped up
4 quickly as soon as they appeared on
the streets Of Brownsville on the
/ heels of the regular edition.
An automobile was soon speeding
up the Valley with copies of the
extra edition.
4 WHAT EFFECT will the Washing
ton decision have on real estate in
the Lower Rio Gran6e Valley?
That's a question real estate men
K are endeavoring TO answer today.
At Edinburg they are busy en-
deavoring to answer il. but in the
waiting for answer all offers being
withdrawn from the market. pending
revision of prices.
The same situation is true at Nc
Allen and az Harlingen, and even
II the towns not at present mentioned

N cific plans are having their own un-
certainty on the matter of real

Both farm lands and city lots are

admission Of returning English

Where do all our queer types

abroad that looked and acted as
though they had stepped out of a
funny paper.
II have seen Britons sitting in
their shirt sleeves before the cafes
in Paris; Paris is gay, but Paris is
conventional, and does not like to
see men in undress.
mo respectable Frenchwoman ever
smokes in front Of cafe, but Brit
ish and American women do so con-
stantly.
Worse yet, I have seep. and heard
British tourists doing cathedrals

suit is that on the Continent people
have learned to describe anything
gauche as 'typically British 1t GER
