BROWNSVILLE
Line ASSURED
Laredo Air Mail Con-
tract Not Conflict
Richardson

II am practically certain that
when the government of Mexico es-
tablishes an air mail route from
North TO south through the republic,
the course will be routed from Mex
leo City to Tampico and thence to
Matamoros," said G.. c. Richardson,
manager of the Brownsville Cham
ber Of Commerce, in view of appar-
emily conflicting news reports on
the proposed air line.
This will give Brownsville an air
mail service beyond a doubt, the
manager stated. 1t matters not, ac-
cording 70 his judgment whether the
rocte from Mexico City and crossing
the border runs by way Of Houston
or San Antonio, this city is almost
sure to be the first station across
the line from Mexico.
Reliable report says that the
Mexican government has chosen the
coast route for very logical rea-
sons. The main reason is, of course,
that Mexican air mail fliers are de-
termined to avoid the hazard Of
flying over a big range Of mountains
that intervenes between Mexico City
and Laredo. All airmen agree that
such flights would be so dangerous
that the risk would not be worth the
experiment.

Names Signed

SAN BENIT0, Aug. ls.-The first
group Of the 100000 names sought
for a giant petition which will be
forwarded President Coolidge and
to southern congressman and SEN
ators, asking congressional action in
raising the tariff on foreign vege-
tables which are in serious competi-
tion with American products, was re-
ceived Thursday by j. Z. Bell, presi-
dent of the Valley Association Of
Commercial Secretaries. following
the mailing Of petition forms to all
organizations in the Valley.
The signed form, carrying 80
names, was returned by the secretary
Of the Mercedes Rotary club. At
torneys, lumbermen, grocers, con-
tractors, educators, publishers, farm
ers, auto dealers, merchants, grow
ers, shippers, packers, bankers, and
representatives of other business
professions. signed the petition.
BY the end Of the week hundreds
of these petitions, mailed Saturday
and Monday, will be back. Bell said.
and compilation will begin.
Interest in the proposed tariff is
keen in the Lower Valley since the
circulation of the petitions and the
simultaneous arrival Of five special
representatives Of the United States
Tariff Commission who are making
a survey Of the tomato growing areas
in the United States and Mexico for
consideration of a raise in the i'm
port tax.
The men will be in the Valley
about two weeks, operating out Of
San Benito, and will go 70 California
and then TO Lower California, before
reporting back to Washington. They
have already completed surveys in

SURVEY WILL
SHOW COSTS
Tariff Commissioners
Investigate Crop
Growing

What IL the cost Of growing to-
matoes in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley?
This is a question the members
Of the tariff commission, now con-
ducting an investigation at San Be-
nito, are endeavoring 70 ascertain.
When the investigation at San Be-
nito is completed they will come into
the Brownsville section, and will
later investigate growing conditions
in other parts Of the Valley.
The problem the commission is en-
deavoring to solve is one that has
proved very perplexing to Valley
farmers. They realize that profits
can generally be represented by the
algebraic "A"-an unknown quantity.
Few of them when figuring on the
cost Of production take into consid-
Grafton all the factors entering
therein.
Thorough Study
Tomato growers in the Jackson
vile section when asked 20 state the
cost OF producing nm acre OF toma-
toes, occasionally placed that cost as
low as SIS TO $50, according 10 Hen

Newton at San Benito, who is also a
member OF the firm Of Newton AZ
Wallace, at Jacksonville, Texas. "A
thorough investigation by those in
terestsd in the industry has placed
the cost Of production in that sec
tion az $50 TO $l75 per acre, and 10
isasserted by those familiar with
tomato growing in the Valley that
the cost will equal or surpass that

The investigation conducted by
the tariff commission is based upon
established facts. Every factor en-
tering into the production is taken
into consideration-the cost of irri-

Making further preparation FOR
the clearing Of the old wreck from
the mouth Of the channel at Point
Isabel harbor the government work
ers have sent TO Corpus Christi for
a wrecking boat and crew. and in
preparation for other blasts inside
OF the gigantic hull buried in the
sands, have ordered 1000 additional
pounds OF dynamite, il was learned
Thursday.
After the great explosion Tues
day afternoon. when il is believed
thousands of bottles of wines and
liquors Of ancient vintage went up
in the sea spray, the diver who has
been entering the hull made a tedi-
Gus task Wednesday Of exploring
every part Of the derelict he could
enter.
VIII Clear Harbor
The main task Of the government
officials in charge is 70 clear the
wreck from the harbor with the least
loss of time. To this end they are
planning another great blast which
Is expected 10 lift the wreck out OF
the sand. Just when this explosion
will be resorted TO could not be

II is not expected that the charge
will be placed in the sunken hull be-
fore the arrival Of the wrecker. and
certainly il cannot be accomplished.
according 20 the officials. until the
latest shipment CT dynamite arrives.
The word was passed out that il may
be the first or the middle Of next
week before the second big shot
will be made.
The government officers have is
sued warning for people, especial
liz women and children. to stay awav
from the scene Of operations until
the work is completed. There is
danger from any great blast, and the
officials feel that they cannot be
responsible for accident IL great
crowds assemble along the shores
and jetties.
No Identifying Mark
In the meantime. the diver who
entered the ship has found nothing
that would tend 70 point to the iden-
tity Of the derelict. She is indeed
a mystery ship. and many things
tend TO the conclusion that she is
Of very ancient design.
The name Of the old vessel or the
colors she carried may never be
