CITY AUTHORITIES
ARE COOPERATING
Working With Highway De-
partment to Provide
Place to House Plow
ROOM Is SECURED
Next Move Is Up to Depart
ment Supervisor
Natural Location

During the past two weeks there
has been much discussion on the
streets relative to locating a State
Highway department snow pillow in
this city during the winter months.
AS is usual in street discussions
of public, semi4public, or private
matters, much mis-inf formation is in
circulation, and as time goes on
the inaccuracies spread.
The discussion has caused some
criticism of City officials. The
facts are that the City Council
has made tentative arrangements
to properly house the state cater
pillar and pillow at Browns gar
age without cost to the Highway
department, the rental charge to
be borne by the city. 1t will be
necessary to enlarge the garage
entrance and the change will be
made as soon as definite assurance
is received that the rlow will be
located in this city.
Sank Centre being the junction
point of three trunk line highways,
of course, is the logical location
for a plow.
Alderman Charles GRAY has pre-
pared the following statement for
publication which clearly defines
the city's position:
Editor Herald:
For the benefit of those
who seem to think the city
officials are to blame for not
having snow plows stationed
here l will say if the State
Highway Department had
taken this matter up in time
/ am sure they could have
been taken care of in good
shape; as it was they did not
look for a place til! every ga
rage was filed with local cars
and trucks that could not be
turned out. When this mat
ter was taken up short time
ago Aid. Cass went with the
Highway Department to look
up a garage and found that
the only building in town with
doors large enough to ac-
commodate as snow pillow were
the Main Street Garage and
the Fire Hall. This garage
was filled to the doors al
ready making it almost impos-
sible for Carpenter and Walk
er TO get them in. The Fire
Hall is alreaiy full and we
could not put the equipment
out at this time of the year.
The Council and the Mayor
found a place at the Brown
garage where they could be
accommodated by cutting in
new doors. / took this mat
ter up with Mr.. West of the
Highway Department giving
him the amount of space we
could make for them, also
the size we could cut the
doors. He tells me he has
not heard a word from the
department in regard to it.
We don't want to go to the
expense of putting in new
doors if the place we have
offered them will not be used
by them. If we do not get
an answer from them then
they will be in just the same
situation they were before.
We have found Mr.. West
and Mr.. Miller to be very fine
gentlemen and any thing we
can do to help them we will
do it. However, we do not
feel that the City officials are
altogether too blame for not
having plows stationed in this
city.

Twas Christmas Eve and all was still,
AS three small heads with golden hair
Peered wide-eyed DER the window-sill
To see if old Saint Nick was there.
Now comes the sound Of dainty paws
1t is the deer OF Santa Claus.
Behold the wondrous magic sleigh,
All laden down with shining toys
And dolls. which only go, they say.
To nice, good-mannered girls and boys
but surely it Is not polite
TO peek at Santa Christmas night!
Look! On the rocf, with nimble tread
Strides Santa, as the Riddles peep.
They duck and scamper back to bed
A moment later they're asleep.
And when they waken, they will see
A world Of gifts beneath their Tree.

The Delta Cities Company is farming
fifteen thousand acres cotton next year as its
first step in a great future development Of cit
rus fruit. 1t is quick, easy money for the pur-
chase of hundreds OF thousands of trees to be
set in these seven townsites and on from a
thousand to two thousand acres adjoining
each and every one Of them.
The Delta Cities Company has homesites
and business lots for sale in each OF its towns.
1t also has ten thousand acres of this choice
citrus land for sale, as the reservation for its
own citrus fruit development Is limited to fit
teen thousand acres on a program already
planned for the next five years. This ten
thousand acres of land Offered to the public
BY Delta Cities Company will be sold in tracts
OF twenty acres up to any amount desired. 1t
will be delivered to the purchasers cleared,
grubbed and pTowed with water piped from
artesian wells for stock and domestic pur-
poses with a ~proviso that the buyer must set
at least one-fourth Of the acreage to citrus

will be ginned at a gin built for the sole pur-
pose of handling this one variety of cotton
and the result Of this innovation on a single
large acreage should be a premium of from
three to five cents per pound.
This land, however, will not be sold as
cotton land (even though it grows the best
and earliest cotton in the u. Sd There are
millions and millions Of acres on which to
grow cotton in Uncle Sans domain and only
a few thousands on which to produce oranges

that will produce them as cheaply as the
northern half of the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
without the cost of fertilizer, without the cost
Of extensive frost protection, without the cost
Of expensive irrigation; and without the cost
Of high priced land. y
The citrus industry for the non-irrigated
section is no experiment. 1t has been proven
to the satisfaction Of every competent inves-
tigator BY the Deyo, Ray and Comp orchards
fifteen years old that have carried off many
prizes at our Mid-Winter Fair, by the fifty
acre, nine year old orchard of Harding-Gill
within the city limits Of R~aymondville, by a
dozen orchards in the Lasara district coming
two years old that equal any orchards in the
Valley for their age, BY the twenty acre or
chard of G. ". Buoy, Hargill, set last May
that cannot be surpassed anywhere. Now, add
to this cumulative evidence Of citrus perma-
nency and supremacy the fact that the Delta

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-11-13

The Delta Cities Company has been plan
ned and organized TO carry on development in
the Rio Grande Valley on a greater scale than
ANYTHING heretofore conceived Of BY a single
company. AT the present time the Delta
Cities Company owns one-quarter OF the inn
proved and unimproved property in the city
Of Ravmondvi1le. destined to be the metropo-
lis of the northern half OF this Valley, two
fifths Of the property in Hargill, nine-tenths
OF the properties in Lasara and Rollo and all
OF the townsites of Santa Margarita, Willamar
and Santa Monica on the Mo-Pac extension
east Of Raymondville.
Adjacent to the above seven towns the
Delta Cities Company owns twenty-five
thousand one hundred forty (25, 14O) acres of
the best agricultural land in the world, black
sandy Victoria loan. These lands have been
selected and reserved by w. A. Harding dur
ing his fourteen years Of operation in the nom
irrigated section of the Valley and If they are
not the very best il is on account of error in
judgment, and lack OF ability to pick the best,
for he has handled over one hundred thousand
acres since coming to the Valley.
Over fifteen thousand acres Of the Delta
Cities Company land is cleared, plowed, wat
er piped from artesian wells for stock and
domestic use and houses built on tracts of so
to 640 acres for farming TO cotton in 1923.

Rough Riders Is
Spanish War Film

Fiereely-tigerishly, row upon row
Of steel-jawed Rough Riders fling
themselves through the hot high
grass in the blazing open plain be-
fore San Juan Hill. Death Greens
with them through the Jungle and
decimates their ranks. Bullets whine
and sting with lightning fury. Shells
from concealed batteries on the en-
tranched Spanish heights main and
kill.
But nothing halts their rush.
Before them Is their battle flag
q blue kerchief with white dots that
whips out like a pennant from the
neck Of Theodore Roosevelt. Roose-
Welt is up in front, six-shooter in
hand, the roar of a hero in combat
coming from his lips al he charges
straight up the slope toward a
barbed-wire fence forty yards be-
low the Spanish trenches.
The Rough Riders have already
taken Kettle Hill, taken II almost
with their bare hands at a vicious
cost Of life, launching themselves d.
rectly into n concentrated fire which
1t seems no human life could with
stand. And now they are rushing up
the steep slopes of hell itself with
the joyous laugh of madmen in the
harsh ecstacy of battle.
This is what recently transpired
