that flood control was bringing
thousands OF acres under develop
ment, all of which will add to the
tonnage from the lower Rio Grande
section.
Ike Dream Come True
3h seeing everything | expect
ed TO see in Florida but didn't" was
the comment of Colonel r. c. Moore.
Col. Moore recently travelled over
1900 miles through Florida by auto
mobile inspecting the Everglade
section, and was admittedly sur
prised to find that Valley develop
ment exceeded that of many parts
of FloSa.
This Valley looks like a pipe
dream come true" was the way
Colonel II. B. Ferguson summed up
his impression. Colonel Pettis and
other members of the party were
equally impressed with the Valleys
potentialities.
Members Of the party commented
on the fact that the Valley has never
been doomed" as Florida a and
commended the attitude Of Valley
leaders who have consistently OPP
posed blooming" tactics.
A stop was made at the Pharr-San
Juan pumping plant at Hidalgo and
the party then turned eastward
along the border road. Thousands
Of acres have been cleared in that
section since the flood control pro-
gram was started, and the acreage
in crops along the border road will
be double that of last year. The
development of the Progreso De-
velopment company at Llano Grande,
where approximately 10000 citrus
fruit trees will be planted this sea-
son, impressed upon them the pos
sibilities of the river section and the
part it would play in providing ton
mage for a port.
Quiet on Port Work
The engineers had received no in
structions from General Edwin Jad-
win, chief of the army engineers, re-
garding the completion Of the port

Lacking detailed information from
Washington, they could not fore

be resumed, and intimated this

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-R-
Friends here Of Frank l.. Smith be-
lieve he will not present to the sen
ate his new credentials as republican
senate-designate Of Illinois. They be-
lieve he Will prefer TO retain his
present status and leave to settle
ment by the voters in the April and
November elections the issue of his
rejection by the senate.
Opponents of Smith, those who led
the fight that barred him from men,
bership and declared his sea- vacant,
were likewise certain that he would
be again denied entrance If he should
try TO gain his seat.
Smiths reelection would present
the issue in a new light; it then
would be q contest between the sen
ate and the voters of Illinois. Such
contests have arisen before and the
record shows that in the long run
the voters are victorious. That was
the decision in the most recent case,
involving Victor l.. Berger, Wiscon-
sin socialist representative, who was
twice denied a house seat after the
World war but was finally accepted
after his district had reelected him
by a large majority.

To Ask Reelection
By N. Y. Voters

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. l0.-PH
Frank L. Smith, Of Dwight, Ill, was
United States senator-designate to-
day, a title under which he expects
to be admitted to the senate cham
bers from which he was recently
barred.
The former chairman of the ILL
nois Commerce Commission handed
his resignation as United States SEN
ator-elect to Governor Len Small last
night, and Immediately was appointed
by the governor TO It'll the vacancy.
At the same time Governor small
called a special primary, and a special
general election TO allow voters OF
illinois to elect Smith again, if they
SO choose TO do.
Both special elections will be held
on the same day as the regular pri-
mary in April and the general cleo
ton in November.
The senate refused to seat the for
mer Illinois official because of his
acceptance of campaign funds from
Samuel insult, public utility mag
nate, and others.
