generally prosperous situation pre-
walls in the Southwest and bids fair
to continue for some time, . y the
report Of the car service division,
American Railway association. for
the latter half OF October, released
hree.
Notwithstanding the disposition Of
farmers and business men to liqui-
date old debts, thereby building n
firmer financial foundation, increases
are shown in wholesale purchases Of
dry goods by SO per cent, farm i'm
~plements 4I6 per cent, hardware As
per cent As compared with the same
period q year ago. Decreases are
shown in sale Or groceries BY 6-2 per
cen and drugs L. per cent.
Banks, generally, says the report,
are experiencing heavy liquidation OF
indebtedness, increasing bank depos-
its and large funds seeking invest
ments. Ninety-one banks which
operate a savings department re-
port as OF Sept so, an increase in de-
posits Of SIS per cent and in accounts
10 per cent a. compared with the
same date last year.
Practical Farming
with the certainty Of continued
heavy oil productions. the very
satisfactory condition OF the live
stock industry with the possible
exception Of hogs), the constant and
substantial growth and development
Of commercial enterprises with m
pie transportation facilities, there Is
no reason 20 fear that business gen
orally in the Southwest will become
dull and inactive for some time" the
report declares.
The situation would be vastly
improved, however. il the farming in
dustry were placed on a sound bust
ness basis, which can be done only by
the setting up Of practical methods
Of marketing and distribution 50 as
TO avoid overburdened markets and
the consequent slump in prices which
spell ruin for the producers"
Notwithstanding recent statements
from high places that the farming
industry is now in a prosperous con-
dition, the report says, such state
ments do not come from those en-
gagged, or financially interested, in
that business.

the county-the most complete sys-
TEN of feeder roads ia the United
States-was the objective announced
By the voters Of Cameron county
las January when they voted a bond
issue OF 100000 for highway con
struction.
And that Is the program Cameron
county is now carrying out, with the
minimum OF delay.
The election results had o been
canvassed before the county COM
missioners court was making plans
for the launching OF the program.
The first million dollars Of bonds
were sold in May az a premium, and
the first contract vas awarded q few
days later. The second million will
Be ISSUED in December, and members
OF the commissioners court express
the opinion there will be no halt In
the program until practically all sec
tions Of the county are traversed by
paved highways.
Disbursements OF the bond monies
ere made upon the basis OF valu-
ations 70 each OF the commissioner
precincts. and each precinct desig-
mates the roads to be paved. this plan
having been adopted in accordance
with a resolution passed by a citizens
road committee prior to the calling
Of the bond election, and entered by
the commissioners court as part OF
the order for the bond election Con-
struction will probably extend over q
period Of three or four years, and
under this arrangement the funds de-
rived from each bond sale are dis
tributed upon the basis Of the last
tax valuations.
First Contracts Awarded
Approximately 30 miles Of the
paved feeder road program will be
completed BY January J., 1928, If
weather condition remain favorable
Roads already completed in clude the
San Benit0-Ri0 Hondo highway Of
ZIG miles and FL Jardin Boulevard,
81 miles, which have been opened TO
traffic. The highway from Har-
lingen TO Rio Hondo, 81 miles, will
be completed in a few weeks, and the
B~arreda-Los Fresnos highway, which
il rs miles, is also nearing compile
ton. Other projects upon which con-
tracts have been let and which will
soon be under construction, include
the highway from San Benito to the
military road. 81 miles, the La Feria-
Santa Rosa highway, z miles, and the
Paroles Line road north from
Brownsville to the point where il
i~ntersects the Barreda-Point Isabel
road, a distance Of los miles. All
contracts call for 1S-foot pavement.
From the point where il intersects
the Barreda-Point Isabel highway,
the Paroles Line road will be grad
ed northward TO the Arroyo Colorado,
approximately IT'S miles, opening a
large area which now has practic-
ally no highway connection with mar
ket centers, and also giving residents
OF the southern part Of the county
access 10 the Arroyo hunting and
fishing grounds. Another grading
project in that part Of the county
II on the Canine de Buena Vista,
extending from the Point isabel
highway near Esoes Junction on the
Rio Grand railroad 70 the south line
Of the AL Parker ranch near the
mouth of the Arroyo Colorado. Much
Of the area that will be opened BY
the road is very fertile, and IL will
also be used extensively In connec-
tion with development Of coast re-
cr~eational facilities.

Fight Plans
Rumors Hint Tunney Delay
If Dempsey Fails Against
Sharkey.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. July 16.-It was ru-
mored in the Jack Sharkey camp
today that the Boston heavyweight
has pat himself onthe market for
a fight with Paulines the Spanish
champ, soon after the Dempsey
scrap July 81.
Sharkey and his manager insist
that Promoter Richard hasn't any
claim on his services after the
Dempsey fight and that he will be
free to fight for any promoter.
When Richard signed Sharkey
and Dempsey he announced the
fighters had signed a second con-
tract accepting his terms Tor a
match between the winner and Gene
Tunney.
It may be, however, that there is
Asomething more than a rumor IN
Dstories hear dfrequently of late that
Rickard will not attempt to stage a
championship match this year unless
Dempsey should defeat Sharkey IN
a spectacular finish.
:. sharkey, in talking about Paul
.ino match, may be trying to fore
stall an effort to keep him on the
shelf until next summer if he should
win from Dempsey.
/ Sharkey asserts Pauline, regard
less of his victory over Harry Wills,
would be cinch for him and that
he would take him in less than a
round. He says he took all the fight
out of Wills when he beat him up
last year and made him set-up
for any fighter.

JUDGE SCORES
COPS METHODS
All Liquor Evidence Taken in
Landlords Son GuiSe Is
Thrown Out. I

Special Judge Earl Cox in
Municipal Court, Friday afternoon
scored methods used by Patrolman
Charles Bauer in obtaining evidence
against George Nuckles, 3s, Negro,
709ia California St., facing blind
tiger charges. Bauer posed as the
son of Nuckles landlord TO gain
entrance to the home, y
Cox suppressed all the evidence be-
fore the court against Nuckles.
Cox ruled, Bauer had gotten his
evidence illegally after the patrol
man had testified that he had been
introduced to Nuckles as the land
lords son and not as an officer.
Bauer told the court that he
found some liquor in bucket in the
kitchen, that he had tasted 1t and
then came back TO Judge Paul @.
Wetter for search warrant.
Judge Cox ruled, that since IT was.
a conspiracy between the landlord
and the officer against the de-.
PENDANT and that entry into the.
house was illegal and the evidence.
was void.
The State asked the court for per-
mission to bring Searcy's evidence
as a private citizen against the de-
PENDANT. Cox agreed and set the
date for hearing Aug. II.

WARNS AGAINST
TAX REFUNDS
State Board Chairman Ad-
vises Lawsuits for Payment.

1.-THE veriest sort of a bad guess
is what State Tax Board Chairman
John ]. Brown terms the tax refund
decision of the Supreme Court in a
letter to Harry E. Wells, Jefferson
county auditor.
The opinion violates every prin-
ciple of equity the letter declares
and advises that county authorities
should not pay refunds without a
lawsuit.
Tax board members stated that
Marion is the only county where
preparations are being made to re-
fund taxes to all who file claims for
excess payments in 1920, 1921 and
1922.
Brown pointed out that the
boards method of administering the
refund was based upon rulings of
the Attorney General sustained in
the Marion county and Appellate
Courts, but reversed by the Supreme
Court.
Should all taxpayers file claims
the result will be one of the worst
tax muddles in the States history.
Refunding probably would be in ex-
cess OF $50,000,000, said Brown.

LONDON, July 16.-Bill Mehl-
horn, American golf professional,
quoted Bobby Jones' father in the
Evening Standard today as saying
the British open champion prob
ably would not compete in tourna-
ments next year.
NMehlhorn said he was chatting
with Jones senior as Bobby was
finishing the final round at ST. An
drews, Friday.
II told him jokingly that the best
thing he could do would be not to
allow his son to compete in any
more championships as then some
body else would have a chance of
winning" Mehlhorn Said.
Mr.. Jones answered; It's more
than likely Bobby will not compete
in any championships next year as
he is going to work very seriously"
