on Port Plan

J.. X. Wells: For % years I have
wondered Why it has never been
done"
A. A. Hargrove: II consider the
channel and port necessary to the
future prosperity Of Brownsville and
the entire Valley. Any individual
who II in doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of voting bonds TO construct the port
should scan his freight bills. Those
freight bills are the best argument
for a port that could be presented"
Sherwood Bishop: II am in full
accord with the recommendations Of
the Chamber OF Commerce port com
mittee. In fact, I believe practically
every resident Of Brownsville holds
the same opinion. The port is sbso-
lutely necessary a. the future devel-
orreri of Brownsville and the entire

realtor had pyramided an original s16, 900 investment into S2,10o,00 in less than 25 years. He had spent up to s6s,0o0 a year on his family and the commission decided Ger many ought to pay for the loss of his earning power.
 Samuel M. Knox, president of the New York Shipbuilding O., was awarded S15,oo0 for injuries in the Lusitania sinking and sl,330 for property loss at the time. He barely escaped with his life after going down under smokcstack and be- ing rescued from the water by a lifeboat. He died in 1924. so the money goes 10 his estate.
 Many other claims ere made to the commission which were felt to be poorly grounded. \ distiller brought an unsuccessful claim for S500,o0o, claiming that Germany had brought on the war and that the war had brought on prohibition, running his business.

soloist of Alta, Iowa. The pastor musician has enjoyed long career as a concert soloist and is consid- cred one of the best accordion art ists in America.
 The piano-accordion has been termed 'fhe most wonderful inven- ton in portable instruments" Some 15 years ago the world famous ac- cordionist, Pietro, captivated large audiences with a new instrument which he called the piano accordion. The first instrument Of this kind was made specially for him, in accor- dance with his own design, and pre- scnted to the public for the first time in San Francisco. The instru- ment, however, has been subjected to an erroneous classification as a objectionable and unhonorable in strument, so much so that many people have formed a faulty opinion about it. Rev. Mir. Ncstander has accordion from doubtful and questionable ranking to an undis- puted position among the accepted concert instruments.
 Educated at Augustana college and theological seminary. the Rev. Mir. Nestander was connected with the Augustana concert band for six years as a cornet and trumpet solo, ist. During that time he took up his study Of tho piano accordion and became so attached to the instru- ment that he soon mastered it. He has travelled extensively with scv- cral musical organizations and has appeared in numerous rccitals both during his college career and after his ordination into tho ministry. He holds tho distinction of being the only clergyman in the country who has specialized in the piano -accor- dion.
 The Rev. MT. Ncstandcr plays 2 special MaraNislia De Lux inStru- ment. with 14o bass keys.
 The repertoire Of tho pastor musician includes many of tho world famous ovcrtures and operatic airs, many Of them arranged by the player himself. Much of tho music
