A Grave Error.

A personal interview with "Pop"
Loraditch, who was reported last week
to have fallen via the banana pee
route, in his excitement as he at
tempted to wait on a gas customer,
shows that a grave error was COM
mitted by Scoop.
"Pop" didn't fall at all, but was so
fabbergasted at seeing Michael. Ma
roney and his cohorts repairing the
holes in Liberty street eaoin mmm
holes in front of his garage on Lib
erty street, that he tainted dead away
and was gone for 81 hours and 10 min

pletely recovered and it is rumored
that he has expressed sincere thanks
to Col. Bell and Scoop for their untir-
ing efforts in having the street re-
paired.

Local Merchants
Offer Fishermen
Dollar a Tarpon

Every silver tarpon caught at Point
Isabel IS worth one dollar TO the fish

an announcement here Tuesday BY
Eatsell-Wells, sporting goods dealers.
The offer was made with the hopes
Of stimulating tarpon fishing off the
point, Mr.. Batsell said and also as a
means Of arriving at some approx
innate figure Of the amount OF tarpon
one can catch there in a season.
Many inquiries are received by the
chamber of commerce from persons in
other states as we'll as North Texas

Mr.. Batsell pointed out, and TO date
there has never been any definite date
compiled that can he sent out. Florida
has capitalized tarpon fishing. like
wise Corpus Christi. and there Is no
reason why the existence of tarpon
in abundance off Point Isabel should
not be advertised, he said. Such an
offer should bring out the expert
anglers of the Valley, Mr.. Batsell
declared.
There are no strings on the Of
fer" Mr.. Batsell said Tuesday. "We
offer a dollar in trade for each tarpon
caught at Point Isabel and when
proof is furnished that il was caught
there payment will be made. A sea

Expert Comments on

Of Valley Crop

Tomatoes in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley are remarkably free from dis

@. b. Ramsey of Chicago, plant path
ologist of the bureau Of plant indus
try, U. S. department of agriculture.
DR.. Ramsey arrived in Brownsville
last week from Florida, and has made
a general inspection Of tomatoes in
the Brownsville area. He stated he
had found no evidence Of the numer
Gus plant diseases such as are COM
mon in Florida or on the west coast.
This Is his first trip to the lower
border country, and he was greatly
impressed with the low cost OF pro-
ducing tomatoes. the abnormally
large vines. prolific yield and general
quality of the Valley product. He
has spent several years in the large
producing sections Of Florida where
heavy fertilization Is necessary.
Commenting on the cultural meth
DDS he suggested that it would prob
ably be advisable for the Valley
growers to prune the vines in order

the growers.
practically all the Florida crop
has been moved and the Valley grow
ers are evidently going TO get their
crop in on the peak Of the market"
DR.. Ramsey continued. "The yield
in Florida was below the average this
season. and this combined with the
high cost of fertilization cut the
profits of the growers appreciably."
DR.. Ramsey has inspected practical
ly all the early tomato sections Of the
United States. declaring hat the Val
ley had many natural advantages
which should make the tomato indus

He will remain in the Valley until
Monday or Tuesday, leaving for Chi

SECOND--- Quantity of Gas

Our best guarantee as to quantity lies in the fact
that we get our gas from one of the largest known
gas fields in Texas, and have a contract from the
producing company whereby they hold in reserve
for our exclusive use sufficient lumber of gas wells
to produce an open flow Of 800 million cubic feet
of gas per day which is nearly 100 times the amount
of gas now being burned in the Valley. On the
strength of this contract the Bankers were willing
to invest their money in this gas system. Is this not
a better guarantee to you than a contract to supply
your city with gas from 3 or 4 gas wells located in a
small oil field?

Out in the Open on the
Question of Natural Gas
for Harlingen

At a mass meeting held last fall we understand some

franchise which we are seeking. We feel that we
have answered these objections both logically and
satisfactorily but the Public has not been informed
of this. These questions are:-

FIRST--Material to be Used in the System

From years Of experience all the leading gas COM
panies of the United States are using for their gas
mains. steel pipe properly coated to protect against
outside elements. We are p~rofiting by the expert
ence of other Gas Companies and have further
agreed with the City officials to use, underneath
paved streets, an extra heavy pipe welded together
at the joints. This was accepted as satisfactory by
the City officials.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-05-22
THIRD---Q Quality of Gas

AS to quality we have agreed to supply Natural Gas
just as Nature delivers it into our mains from the
earth. According to tests made at regular intervals,
this gas contains 1920 B.. T.. US per cubic foot which
is 120 more than the guarantee asked by the City
officials. Natural Gas is always delivered to your
burners with the same B. T.. U. content as when it
comes from the earth.

rates under which we are supplying gas to 1873 in
dustries in the Valley to the perfect satisfaction Of
all.
