I'm OUR
VALaLEY

GALVESTON MEN propose to do
some fishing on a wholesale scale
down the coast from Brownsville on
the Mexican side.
And transport their catch by air
plane to Brownsville, packing here
and shipping on into the interior.
OF course, the fish must be pro-
teeted from spoilage.
So they are going TO try using
-dry ice" a new product.
Some months ago q sample of dry
ice was received at the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce.
From a concern in New Orleans.
They wrapped some OF il in
paper parcel. and banana was COW
cred with the dry ice.
Apparently the dry ice was effec-
tive. The banana was frozen 80
solid that it couldn't be broken ex-
eept with an axe.
The day was warm. The banana
required two hours to return to nor
NAL condition. and even then was
extremely cold.
BROWNSVILLE golfers, and many
golfing guests from over the Valley,
Joined in initiating the Country
7 clubs new eighteen hole course.
Participated in a handicap tourns-
mert of thirty-six holes, played
Saturday and Sunday.
And Joe L. Putegnst. one q the
best stick wielders Of the local
course, came out with first honors.
Overcoming some of the "old mas
ters" Of the game in Brownsville.
And all declared the course 70 he
good one.
Ard all particularly happy that
now the course may be covered by
twice as many players as hereto
fore, playing at once. And doing
away with long waits for those ahead
to get head.
The Brownsville course is the first
eighteen hole course in South Tex
as.
And Brownsville should make cap
ital of the fact.
LATER Brownsville is to be the
scene Of South Texas tournament.
With players from many clubs in
the section south OF San Antonio.
That will help spread the fame Of
the local course.
BY the time this course is becom-
ing crowded, Brownsville should be
preparing to own a municipal course.
The more golf courses, the mere
the visitors who enjoy the game.
TIE ROAD INJUNCTION case of
he Brownsville commissioners pre-
- inct has come to an end.
All legal phraseology thrown aside.
the result stated in street language
The county may now proceed IN
it's plans to pave toe military road
IN and down from Brownsville.
In the meantime work will con-
tinue on the Boca Chica beach road.
Il has been under grade eonstrue-
ton for some months, which work Is
about to be completed.
But the grade, especially that part
of il near the coast, will have to be
permitted to settle for some time,
perhaps until the fall or winter Of
1929.
At all events, the only mainland
beach on the Texas coast Of the Gulf
Of Mexico will be within forty-five
minute motor ride rom Brownsville
:thin another year and half.
