PEOPLEURCED
TO CAST VOTE
Garner Is Better Man,
Galbraith Says In
Edinburg Talk

EDINBURG, July 26.--Declarins
that the question Of paramount i'm
portance now Is the election Of the
better man, H. B. Galbraith, promi-
nent Brownsville attorney, speaking
in behalf Of the candidacy of Con-
gresham John N. Garner before an
audience at the Edinburg court house
wednesday night, urged the people of
this city and Of the Valley to 90 to
the polls Saturday and east their
votes in the democratic primary.
"One of the dangers of our cleo
tons which often results in the
election OF unworthy men," he said,
rs the number of people interested
IN self government is in the minor
ity."
Galbraith, in outlining the progress
of the campaign, declared that there
has been too much mud singing and
useless dickering.
There were to be no personalities
entering into the campaign speeches
this year." he asserted.
Citing the accusations made
against Garner by Sid Hardin, op-
position candidate, in campaign
speeches, Galbraith offered refuta-
ton for each one.
Proof was offered to show that
Garner had done his duty. during his
20 years in congress, in the question
of the building Of the ports of the
Rio Grande Valley, the inheritance
tax, tariff controversy and prohibi-
ton.
Depicting the water situation in
the Valley, he declared that, with
such a question pending, it was neces-
sary TO have an experienced man as a
representative.
In touching upon the tariff ques-
ton, Galbraith declared that the
pending water controversy was more
important than the tariff. because
without water, the tariff was useless.
Picking Hardin's campaign 70
pieces, Galbraith sought to clear any
accusations that had been made
against Garner. He declared that
Garner had supported the tariff and
that Garner had obtained deep water
advantages for Corpus Christi. He
also said that Garner had f~urthered
the Point Isabel project and that he
would get more money for improve
ments in this section Of the country
when the time arrives and the our
try is ready for it.
"The question does not hinge on
what has been accomplished" he said.
at is not determined by the side is
sues of the prediction campaigns.
It is decided by who is the better
man for the position. Voters must de-
eide this and 50 cast their votes on
Saturday"
Galbraith was introduced by Cor
don Griffin OF McAllen. He Is SEIZED
uled to speak at Mercedes Thursday
night and at Donna Friday night.

Z Two-thirds Of a mile Of solid rock
still separates the advance headings
Of Americas longest tunnel which is
being bored through the Cascade
range by the Great Northern railway.
For a distance Of more than a mile
the tunnel must still be brought 10
full size, and nearly three miles Of
concrete lining two feet in thickness
must be placed before the tunnel is
complete.
Superhuman as it seems, the prof.
ect is to be completed by late fall and
barring unforeseen contingencies,
Great Northern trains will be oper-
ating through the new eight-mile tun-
mel by the first of the year.
The methods employed in the con
struction Of the tunnel have resulted
in new records for speed in tunneling,
lettering by several years time tun-
nels that are two and three miles
shorter.
Two and one-half years ago the
construction forces moved into the
Cascade mountains 20 begin the big
tunnel Job. In order to attack the
route Of the main tunnel at many diff
ferent places, 2 second tunnel was
started from the west portal paral-

tunnel advanced, cross-drifts were
run to the route of the main tunnel

abled the construction forces TO keep
mere than 1900 men continuously en-
ployed in the interior of the noun
tain. The two-thirds of a mile re-
naming to be bored through is being
attacked in eight different places.
Concreting operations have follow
ed closely on the heels of the crews
that are gnawing out the gigantic
bore.
The new tunnel passes under the
zone Of heaviest snowfall on the
Great Northern railway. and will
eliminate the costly structures that
protect the present route from ava
lanches for more than 6 miles. The
tunnel also will reduce the railways
climb over the Cascades BY 500 feet,
shorten the line nearly eight miles
and eliminate curves that are equiva-
lent TO six complete circles.

 Such was the situation in Herrick for several weeks after a disagreement among shareholders of the local telephone company. The ex- change switchboard was worn out and 1t was pro- posed to assess each share holder in town $10 and each rural shareholder $2, to pay for a new board. The farmers agreed but the townspecple objected, and the service was cut off.
 When service was re- sumed, the old switchboard continued to do duty.
