Blanca, Hargill. Scarcely a dewdrop
falls without touching one of its
plants or an inch Of its long circuits
of transmission lines.
No single feature Of the developing
facilities and loyalty to the commune
ties it serves, perhaps, better exem-
plifies its bent in these directions than
the fact it never waits for somebody
else to do the exploring. With its or
~ganization and coordination of eff
forts in the Valley, it, of course, tied
together the larger communities first.
But its ceaseless stir for action-action
looking to development and better
ment of the territory-quickly sent it
TO the farms and even into the brush"
Its lines don't follow steel rails, or
concrete highways, or even primeval
trails. They cross paths most in
vestors would shun-short cuts to the
farms. Rural identification is fast
reaching new heights in the Valley.
Central Power and Light is a home
unit Of pep and force in every COM
munity Of the Valley. It has been a
major factor in the magic march Of a
magic section and every ounce of eff
fort its officers and employees can
muster will be synchronized toward a
continuance of the policy which has
won for it the title Of Builder and
Developer"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-11-13

That's just a part Of the story
amazing as it has proven. At this
moment there are62 miles of addition
al high voltage wires under construc-
ton, with the solemn promise every
foot of it will be in service not later
than January /. The. company is
building 81 miles. between Mission
and Rio Grande City; q miles more
between San Benito and the headgates
of the American Company, and 9 miles
from Run to Hida1go, meaning that
by the beginning Of 1923 there will be
on active duty in the Lower Valley
268 miles of wire circuits for the VAL
ley's service-covering the Valley in
every part and smiling like the skies
as they work. Add to that sum the
228 miles of rural lines and the reason
for the boast that no similar area of the
earth's surface is better served cleo
trically is easily found. Take a look
at the map-drawn to scale and with
the utmost accuracy. 1t tells its own
story. It doesn't show the rural lines.
Count them in and consider all.
In the utility industry Of the United
States there is in all probability no
more effective power plant than La
Palma Station at San Benito-main
source Of the Valleys electric energy.
Without half trying, without getting
on any of its toes, the great machin-
cry there can set loose and keep going
the dynamic force concentrated in
$4,000 horsepower. An auxiliary plant
at Mission can furnish at the notice of
a moment 1000 additional horsepow-
er. The Valley j. growing and its elecz
trio needs are increasing. Officers of
the company have already made plans
to keep the requisite horsepower
abreast the .need-no matter how
quickly it may come or how immense.

In the Valley cannot better be exam
