nous field for development in this
southern country and that IL has
long been neglected" Mr.. Scott stat
ed upon that occasion. We saw IL
many years ago, and we a 70
build into this country; we want 70
help develop il, and we want to help
show the people OF the world and the
people Of this community what can
be done in this most southern part
Of Texas.
"The Southern Pacific has been
building railroads for over half a
century. IL was over half a century
ago, May 13, 1869, the Southern Pa
cific was driving the last spike that
connected up the first transconti-
mental line Of railroad across the
United States. II has been assidu-
cusly conducting an aggressive de-
velopment in the country il has serv-
ed ever since that time.
The Southern Pacific serves more
states in the United States than n
other system. You can go further
along one line on the Southern Pa
cific than on any other railroad in
the United States, IL not in the
world.
Spoke OF Future
81 do not believe that anyone has
a long enough vision TO even guess
what this Lower Rio Grande Valley
will be doing ten years hence. or IS
or so years hence. IL cannot be es-
timated by what is going on now or
what has gone on before.
You are in about the same lati-
tude IS southern Florida, and you
have advantages over anything that
exists anywhere in the United States,
and you will have for your market
the whole of the North American
continent. We can distribute the
products Of this Valley 70 oil parts
Of the country. We have available
for your service 10000 refrigerator
cars, and that is something worth
considering"

REPUBLICAN FOR
 BOARD 0F RELIEF Carter Indicates Democrat Will
 Not Be Appointed SELECTION THIS EVENING
Women's League to Meet Tomorrow Eycning-F'irst Meet of Skating Tournament Won by Cypress Hill Hockey Team-Estate Valuation.

According to existing opinions it is improbable that a democrat will re- ceive the vacant post on the board of relief tonight.
 First Selectman George B. Carter, when approached on the subject to- day, stated that he had received no application or petition from the dem ocratic party appealing for place on the board and as the vacancy was left by a republican elected by popular vote, it is likely that re- publican will be chosen to fill the place.
 Carter's statement is probably a death blow to democratic hopes here which, although they had not been filed in the form of any petition or request. were that a democratic member of the board would be named. Local democrats point out that until fairly recently, six years 10 be exact, democrat had been on the board of relief as well as the board of assessors. One ballot how ever, deprived the party of repre- sentation on either board and as the law calls for no specific party rep resentation, but merely three mem- bers to serve on each board, the democrats banked more on popular opinion than any formal application for the office.
 The vacancy in question is the one left by s. Chase Coale, who elected at the polls last October. declined inc position shortly afterwards. The original board consisted of Willard I. filling of kensington. Max Sugen- hime of East Berlin and MT. Coale of Worthington ridge. Following the announcement of Coale's with drawal from the board, no acton was taken by the seloctmen towards appointing a new member until re- cently. when with the date for the boards activities drawing near the selectmen began to consider eligible residents for the position.
 It is generally believed that the person who will be given the post will hai from the Worthinston sec ton as the other two districts are already represented.
