Preliminary Work
On Roads Started

Raymondville. Texas. July 2-Sur-
veyors have been stalking out the
highway between Raymondville and
the south county line. and the first
actual dirt was broken this week on
on the construction of filling and
grading. The length Of the line will
be 1915 miles.
The Willacy county commission
ers have decided that this road will
be- so feet in width. instead of 60.
as 70 first planned.
The contract was recently let by
the State HIGHWAY Commissioners at
Austin to the Evans Construction
Company, and the preliminary work
calls for an expenditure of $4,000.
Contract for topping with concrete
will be let later. and also the route
from Raymondville will be de-
termined. which will probably be a
direct north-south highway through
the county.

the Kensington Gun club will meet this afternoon for the first match of scheduled three weeks competition
 shoot. The winner of the high score for the three weeks will be award el cup. Last years matches end cd in close race for honors be- tween Sam Skene and Ben Cosey and
 the two will be out for each others scalp this season.
 The Blue Hills Gun club has not started activities yet. It is thought
 that the club will open its season in near future. An elimination match l between the two clubs will be ar ranged during the trap-shooting sea- son.
 Football Possibilities It is possible that this town will be represented by football team this coming fall, if plans started by
 several local enthusiasts are realized. Berlin has never put a team in the field although it is believed that sufficient material for a strong eleven could be recruited among the residents of this place.
 Rev. Vernon l.. Phillips. athletic
 director of the Kensington Boys club has stated that it is improbable that i the team would play under the Boys club colors as the game entails con- siderable expense for equipment and. , he stated. was not a healthy game [ for boys unless they observed rigid training rules Phillips admitted that i he would like to see football team recruited among the youngsters of ! this town but condemned such pro- cedure among inexperienced boys and among those who would play without the services of a capable coach who would be able to train | the boys physically to endure the hard knocks that go with the game. 1 This town has given several foot bal stars to nearby semi-pro teams, including Steve Jumbo" Gnasgow, | All-New Britain line bulwark who 1 will probably be seen at center for

INTEREST LACKING
 IN LOCAL POLITICS
Caucus Dates Not Set-Cooley
 Not a Candidate
NO SENTENCE ON YOUTH

Without Ltghts-Standard Steel Dance . SuCccss-Church Notices Second Game of Series Tomorrow. With the town election little more than a month away. interest in it is lacking in a marked degree. It
 will be held on Monday October 3. and the party caucuses must
 therefore be held September 12 and
 called before the seventh. yet noth- ing has been done so far. Chairman Ralph L. Seymour of the republi-
 can town committee said today. It is believed the caucus of this party will be held on the 18th. and the l democratic party will probably fol- low the precedent it set last year,
 when it met directly after the rival politicians finished.
 1 The name of o. I. Cooley has been mentioned as a possible choice for town clerk, but MT. Cooley said
 this morning that he would not run | for that or any other ofile. Last
 year he was defeated for assessor
 and might be nominated again this year when the term of John J. kimmel expires, but it Is consid- l cred likely that MT. Kimmel will
 continue in office and again be
 chairman of the assessing board.
 Some opposition is expected to , MT. kimmel in his effort to secure reelection as first selectman. He has
 ruled the town during the past year without fear or favor and has done
 good job of cleaning up several black spots. These are expected tc
 react against him in some quarters,
 as are his tilts with certain organ . izatiors in the town. but he has a strong personal following among the independent voters. Second Se- lectman James Simpson. who has many personal and party friends behind him, Is his most dangerous rival. and spirited contest between the two members of the board is anticipated.
 Nothing has been heard yet from
 the grand jurors or consta bles al though there is some interest among the townspeople in who the new
 cops" will be. The newly created board of finance will be elected this year, and two members of the
