Military Highway Is abandoned When Court
Adopts Border Highway As Official Name

will soon be calling for bids for
extensive improvements on the
Border highway. and that the ac-
ton Of the court would require
that all official designations use
the term "border highway"
The old road has been known a.
the military highway" ever since
General Zachary Taylor hewed his
way through the Rio Grande
brushlands from his base at
Brownsville to Roma. During the
early years Of border warfare the
road was extended westward. and
eventually reached the Pacific.
It is understood the War De-
partment still refers TO the old
road as the military highway of
the Rio Grande." while the High
way Department recognizes it as
the Border Highway"

The military highway has eeas-
ed to exist, officially, in Cameron
county.
The records Of the commission
ers court meeting Thursday con-
tain the following entry:
"In the matter Of change of
name of the military highway:
upon motion duly made, second
ed and unanimously carried, it was
ordered by the court that the
name Of the highway known as
the old Military and Telegraph
Road be, and the same is hereby
changed to Border Highway"
"There is no justification for
the term military highway"
Commissioner A. V. Logan said,
~and / move that it be ordered by
this court that the designation be
changed to the Border highway"
Will Rogers, after his recent re-

turn from Mexico, criticized the
designation Of the border road as
the military highway" stating it
was an insult to Mexico and was
a constant source Of irritation to
the Mexican people. The Browns
vile Herald editorially endorsed
the suggestion Of Rogers that the
name be changed.
Following the vote Commission
er Logan requested a representa-
tive OF The Herald to apprise
Will Rogers of the courts action,
and the following telegram was
dispatched Thursday night to Mr..
Rogers, who is attending the
Stockmen's convention at El Paso:
Cameron county commissioners

Il can readily understand why
Mexico should feel affronted by
the designation Of this road as
the military highway" Commits
sioner Logan said. We would
consider it a national insult If
Mexico persisted in maintaining a
military highway on the south
side of the Rio Grande.
The motion Of Commissioner

by Commissioner Laroche, and

this afternoon when Judge Cline
refused to grant a last minute ap-
plication for an injunction TO stay
the execution.
LAKE CHARLES, La, Jan. 27.-CP
Just a few hours before the hang
ing was scheduled to take place, at
torneys for Byron Dunn, condemned
man, sent 10 Jennings Z petition TO
be presented to Judge Jerry Oline,
trial judge, asking for an injunction
10 stop the execution here this after
noon Of Dunn.
The application asks for a rule to
be issued directing Sheriff Horace
Lyons to show cause why tempor-
ary injunction should not be ordered,
restraining him from executing Dunn.
The petition is based on an allega-
tion that 'the action of Governor
Simpson on December Is, 1927, and
the order for execution Of Dunn dated
on or about December IS for the exc
cution of Dunn on January 81, 1928,
IS null and void for the reason that
the governor was without jurisdiction
in ordering the execution"
Byron Dunn, who is scheduled to be
hanged this afternoon sometime be-
tween the legal hours of noon and
3 o'clock, slept soundly last night in
his cake in the death cell.
During the forenoon the condemned
man was visited by Rev. r. H. Wynn
who held a long conversation with
him and who has been giving him
spiritual advice.
Groups of idly curious persons
gathered today on the courthouse

I'm OUR
VALLEY

LAREDO gets the air mail service
INTO and out Of Mexico.
And, Of course, should be congratu-
lated upon her success.
Cosme Hinojosa, postmaster gen.
eral Of Mexico, preferred the coast
route.
But there was too much pressure
from Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, Sal
uilo, San Luis Potsi, Queretaro
and other points.
Now the filters will have to climb
mountains to carry the mails.
At two or three places they will
have to 20 up $4,000 feet.
All Of which means extremely
heavy outlays for planes as CON-
pared with equipment for coastal
service.
Planes following the coast route
can, if they wish, fly most of the
way at fifty or seventy-five feet,
except when nearing Mexico City.
Two hundred horsepower motors
will care for the coastal planes.
Four hundred for planes on the
mountain route.
NOW let's do a little prognosti-
eating.
Mr.. Hinoiosa will call for bids for
carrying mails along the route con-
Meeting the cities as outlined above.
The bids will be received. They
a. -
Mountain flying comes nigh.
Then bids will be asked for the
coast route. The figures will be
wide apart.
Perhaps flyers will not care 50
much about mountain flying. Would
not object to crossing mountains.
perhaps. but might object f. taking
a mountain route for eight hundred
or so miles. Eventually the route
into and out Of Mexico for the mails
will be the Brownsville route.
Might be wrong. Might be right.
Well wait and see.
PARTY Of good roads enthusiasts
from Brady, out in the Rrownwood
country, plan to visit the Lower Rio
Grande Valley 70 see how we build
roads.
- yAe Valley can show them several
millions Of dollars that have been
put into roads that are good ard
permanently so.
And show them where several
millions Of dollars more will be
put in more good roads.
The Valley is thoroughly sold on
good roads. All it asks is sufficient
valuations to carry the bonds with
out taxing the taxpayers too heavily.
LOS FRESNOS is to have a bank
building, as one Of It's first struc-
lures.
Announcement made that contract
has been awarded for structure to
cost about $4,000.
Bank is now being organized, 10
be owned and operated by Valley
men.
Mostly men who have made their
mark in farming.
AN INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE is
being built in Brownsville, down at
the foot of Levee street, where it
hits the Fort Brown wall.
Men. steam engines and gasoline
transportation have thrown false
work across the international stream.
That is all preliminary work. Cof-
fer dams being built at each end
of the bridge. Will be filled with
concrete. Later on steel and con-
crete construction will be started.
In the meantime the hope is to
have the groundwork all finished be-
fore the spring freshets carry the
Rio Grande to the bank.

of brush that might threaten the
