BROWNSVILLE, OR rather n
point near Brownsville, will be the
scene Of the end Of the first hop in
the Pan-American good will flight of
American army aviators.
They will leave San Antonio early
in December.
About two hours will be consumed
in the flight from San Antonio to
the landing field at the Ohio & Tex
as sugar mill. about five miles north
east of Brownsville.
Should that landing field be made
unavailable because Of weather con-
ditions, then the flyers will land
on the beach at Padre Island.
So the flight of five amphibian
planes will begin their long excur-
sion down one side Of South America,
and back up the other, concluding
the voyage at Miami, Fla.

LOOKS LIKE n hundred miles or
more Ct new railroad tracks in Cam
eron county in another year or 50.
This includes about seven miles of
the S. P.'s Edinburg HarIingen
branch. and about 2S miles more Of
this branch southeast to Brownsville.
Then there's the Missouri Pacific's
proposed branch from San Benito in
a southeasterly direction to a point
on the Rio Grande railroad. Also an
extension of the Spiderweb from
near Rio Hondo to the Laguna Vista
district
Cameron county and all towns in
Cameron county are experiencing the
greatest growth in their history.
Every town Is "cn its toes That's
fine. Just like everybody would
have il.
THE DALLAS NEWS was the only
one of the state papers that "lined'
the announcement that the Southern
Pacific proposed 10 extend from Har-
lingen to Brownsville.
BY "lined" we mean. IL was the
only one that carried the STORY
under headin that crossed ut least
a large part Of first page. II shared
prominence with the Armenian earth
quake.
The San Antonio Express gave it
first page. top Of pace. under a
single column head The Houston
papers gave the story only ordinary
prominence, az the bottom of the
first page.
All of which doesn't mean any
thing particularly. except To indicate
varied judgment of the news editors
of those papers.
The editors, proprietors or pub
fishers Of the parers never saw the
story until thev read ii in their
papers. just like other readers.
