its first modernly built subdivision.
Soon it will be ready for the ap-
proval of the home buyer.
There is much significance in the
opening of Los Ebanos, which will
take place early in January.
Los Ebanos (The Ebonies). con-
sisting of something like ESQ lots
lots larger than ordinary city lots
is to be all paved. In addition to
which it will have sanitary sew
ers and drainage. of course, cleo
ric lights and water.
II is a proposition that is going
head of development. That is. it is
subdivision that will be all dres-
sed up and ready for the home
builder.
Which seems a businesslike way in
which to put over" a subdivision.
Somehow folks are reader to buy
when they know there is, or will be
paving and all the other modern fa-
cilities Of residential subdivision.
Messrs. Lee B. James and A. d..
Dickinson are responsible for Los
Ebanos.
James and Dickinson il was who
were joined by J. VI. Nix in the
building and operation of Hotel FL
Isrdin. 1t Is unquestionabiy the
st, most modern hotel in South
Aas. And they propose to but
over Los Ebanos in as splendid
fashion.

to start almost at once, the prop
erty having been cleared and graded
as to roads
Let's keep on whooping things up.
THREE SAN ANTONIO men pur-
chased baths in Hotel Ell Jardin the
other day.
Not to say that this is unusual
for a San Antonian. That was mere
ly preliminary to quoting them on
Hotel FL Jardin:
There's nothing in San Antonio
at this time as splendid from a no.
ter Standpoint at Hotel Ell Jardin.'
On that point they were unani-

was asked. "Well. the st. Anthony,
you know. was built some 18 years
ago. They know more about the
things travelling people want now
adays and these you have in Hotel
Ell Jardin. The St. Anthony doesn't
have them"
HOTEL Ell JARDIN is visible from
Tampico. almost.
Take il from an aviator.
& sirepped down on Matamoros
the other day.
whats that big building over
there?" he aaEed.
That's a new hotel in Browns
willie"
"Well, sir. you know when got
into the air at Tampico the sun hit
that building in such a way that it
almost dazed me to look at it. 1t
was visible to me great many
miles down the coast. And it sure
is a shining mark for a Big Bertha.
THE SAN JUAN Sentinel an
nounces that the new street lights
have just been turned on in San
Juan, and the town is prouder of
its appearance at night.
All up and down the Valley the
towns are taking more and more in
terest in their civic appearances.
And well lighted streets are =
great movement in the direction of
attractiveness.
The Valley. towns. from Mission
to Brownsville. are becoming noted
for their generous use Of electricity
And it's money well spent.
SPEAKING OF LIGHTS. the larg-
t and highest electric sign in the
alley today-there's no telling
oout tomorrow-is atop the eight
tory Hotel III Jardin.
II isn't burning. but it will be in
few days.
The light faces to the north. and
should be visible for many miles. II
you have good oversight perhaps you
can read it from Barreda station
The light should be visible farther
than that.
HARGILL-THAT'S a new towr
on the new Mopac road between Ray
mondville and Edinburg-is going tc
have a waterworks. electric ligh,
plant. new school house and new
bank building.
Now that's starting a town off in
style.
And James Ball. The Herald's en-.
ergetic and youthful correspondent
mt Santa Rosa, writes in TO say that
Santa Rosa man is going 70 builc
eight brick business buildings ir
that town as soon as the Southern
Pacific begins to choo-choo through
town.
And there's going to be new
town between Brownsville and Poin
Isabel. on the Bio Grande railroad
the town being named st. George
And there's Edcouch and Elsa anc
Lssara and perhaps some other:
that haven't advertised enough a:
yet to impress our memory.
Talk about building an empire.
