Aerial Celebration
For Fourth of July

The chamber of commerce board
of directors in session Tuesday
night discussed the coming Fourth
of July celebration, with concenSuS
favoring airport activities in con-
nection with the affair. The SEC
rotary was instructed to get in
touch with the committee and CO.
operate with it on all celebration
plans.
The question Of following up the
great amount Of publicity received
in connection with the recent air
port dedication also was discussed
and it was mentioned that the
board should consider hiring a pub
licity man for Brownsville. w. B.
Clint, Albert Reed and Frank Lo-
PEE were appointed to work on the
matter with the secretary md also
to investigate the possibility Of
tieing up with radio station KWWG

Many Shifts To Be
Made in Diplomatic
Corps UnderHoouer

sor has not yet been selected. it is
known that President Hoover is
hopeful that he can obtain the
services OF former vice-president,
Charles G. Dawes.
To Be New Faces
There also are likely to be new
faces at a number of European posts
but the present representatives to
the larger countries on the CONT
nent may be retained. Hugh S. Glib
son, who is to head the American
delegation to the preliminary arms
conference at Geneva, desires to
return to his post as ambassador to
Belgium after his special assign
ment at Geneva has been concluded.
Myron t. Herrick, veteran diplo-
mat from Ohio, probably will re-
main at Paris despite his advancing
years. In common with the other
diplomats he has rendered his res
ignation, but information in high
official circles is that he desires to
remain at the French capital and
the administration would like to
have him continue in his present
work.
There is speculation, but no Off
ficial information, as to whether
Henry P. Fletcher will remain as
ambassador to Rome or be trans
ferred to some other country. He
accompanied Mr.. Hoover on his
Latin American mission and per-
hapS is better versed in Latin
American affairs than any other of
the diplomats, having served as
ambassador to Mexico and Chile
and also as American representative
at practically all of the Pan-Ameri-
can conferences.
Morrow TO Remain
One suggested change in the far
eaSt-and a number are expected
in that section-is the transfer Of
John Van A. MacMurray, now min
lister to China, to Tokyo, with the
rank of ambassador, succeeding
Charles MacVeagh, who is expected
to retire.
While there are some fixtures in
the Latln-Anlerican service, many
of the representatives in the south
ern republics r expected to 60.
with their places taken by career
so far as that may be practi-
cable. Dwight w. Morrow is to re-
main at Mexico City at his own
election as he wants to complete the
Job began there under President
Coolidge.

Commission May
Call An Election
On Big Bond Issue

The proposition of issuing a call
for an election to authorize issuance
of refunding and Improvement
bonds in the amount of S1,000,0 600
to $1,000, 900 is expected to come be-
fore the city commission at its reg
ular meeting Friday.
Conferences have been held with
various bonds experts the past two
weeks. and it is understood that city
officials also have worked out q
complete budget of improvements to
be financed by the bond issue. The
city has approximately S820.000 III
warrants outstanding which the
commission proposes to convert into
long-term bonds.
The matter of a paved connection
between the city's system of paved
streets and the Puente Guadalupe
highway also is expected to come be-
fore the commission. Paving Of the
Puente Guadalupe road will be
completed this week, and it will be
necessary for the city to construct
approximately half a mile of paving
to provide a connection.

Community Band Is
Seen Too Expensive
BY Chambers Board

The city commission has refer
red TO the board of directors or
the chamber of commerce a petit
ton asking that action be taken
relative to the organization of a
Brownsville municipal band to play
two concerts each week. The petit
ton requested that Jose Ramirez
be appointed bandmaster. ,
The estimated cost as presented
by Ramirez showed that SIS, 900
would equip and maintain the band
for the first year, and that $12. 900
would maintain the band each wear
thereafter.
The board referred the petition
back to the commission with the
recommendation that it not be
adopted at this time as it appear
ed too expensive under the esti-
mate submitted.

ASK $5OO,OOO
FOR BUILDING
Brownsville c. Of G.. Oppos.
ed to Remodeling of Old
Federal Structure

Requesting an appropriation of
100000 for a new federal building
IN Brownsville, the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce at their reg
| meeting went on record as OPP
posed to the postoffice department
plan to expend $50 900 in remodel
ing the present building.
The subject of a new federal
building was taken up by the Cham
Der OF Commerce several months
ago. The postal department sent
representatives here to inspect the
present building, erected in 1890,
q recently it was announced that
plans for remodeling the structure
had been submitted by the depart
mentN<hrchitectS and an appropri-
atloaA& 100000 made for that pur-
pose.
In discussing the situation the
directors of the Chamber of Com
IL lerce asserted that the remodeled
ulldlng would prove inadequate tc
q leet the needs of the city, pointing
ut that the business of every gov
rnmental department located here
s increasing rapidly. 1t was the con-
+ enSus OF those present that a new
I ,uilding would be necessary to meet
I he requirements of the next ten to
/ wenty years, and that to remodel
he present structure would be. to
a great extent, a waste of funds.
The following resolution was
passed and was incorporated into a
petition which is being signed by
Brownsville citizens and will be for
warded to Representative John N.
Garner and Senators Morris Shop
pard and Tom Connally:
Whereas, the present postoffice
and federal building in the city of
Brownsville has been built and &C.
cupied for SO years, and was con-
structed at a time when the popu-
lation of Brownsville was not more
than 5000; and,
Whereas, the present building is
utterly inadequate for the purpose
of holding federal court and hous-
ing its officers and records, and
furnishing headquarters and offices
for the customs department and
immigration department Of the
port at Brownsville and vicinity.
and for postal accommodations;
and.
Whereas, Brownsville has now
an international airport and an ex-
tensive international mail service
which is growing so rapidly that the
present building must soon be ut
terly inadequate to contain and
take care of same, and the grow
ing mail requirements of this rapid
ly developing city and such condi-
lions must arise by the time a new
building can be completed, ade-
Quate to take care of the needs of
the poStoffice department here; and
Whereas, it is Jul understanding
that under the policy Of the United
States government as to construct
ing and renewing postoffice build
ings, Brownsville is now entitled to
a new building. the present one
having been constructed 80 years
ago.
Now, therefore, we, the citizens
Brownsville respectfully petition
\ congress of the United States,
Ugh you, our representatives,
IN appropriation of not less
I've hundred thousand dol
L. 100000 for the construc-
ton u an adequate federal build
ing in Brownsville, the county seat

AIRPORT LAUDED IN
WASHINGTON LETTER

A complimentary letter on the
Brownsville airport has been writ
ten to E. w. Camp. commissioner
of customs, at Washington. by Roy
Campbell. collector of customs at
San Antonio.
Campbell stated that he was
astonished to find such a great
number of planes landing here in
his survey of the local airport.
He added that he had one civil
service customs inspector at the
port now, but that there we're not
enough men at the port of Browns
vile to permit his department to
nronerly do its work and keep a
man at the port.
He suggested in closing that Mr..
Campbell designate an inspector
for the airport station.

least die, blaming the United States Government for refusing us a chance at our place in the sun or the home or our hearts desire.
 If could see any good, or even any ultimate good in the policy of the Forest Service it would not be 50 hard. But all can see is the rape of another of Alaska's resourc- es when the time comes.
 It it were being held as a play ground or even as a national reserve supply of timber, I could see some ossible justification. But it is 2. t. The timber rights are being Lawked about by the Forest Service in immense parcels at a ridiculous | " low price-at a price indeed that will little more than pay the salar- , ies and expenses of the Forest Ser vice employees necessary to admin ister the cutting. Think that over! These same Forestry Officials hold over us a bugaboo that under pri- vate ownership, large tracts would eventually fall into the hands of ! private owners. Maybe so But it VII, in transit, have left something cf it's value in the hands of pio- l neer with gus enough to have made ! it his own.
 They also overlook the fact that the United States Government is Cheapening itself in the eyes of the people when it acts as a holding company for the pulp people.
 Another thing of interest and
 which should not be overlooked by those who have visions of a future for this country and statehood Pri- yately owned land is taxable. Here lnre some figures from the census ot
 1920.
 In the State of Washington there are nearly Ii million acres of State and National Forests. In the State
 of Oregon, ever 13 million acres
 Yet, in the State of Washington
 taxable timber land and timber in
 dustries paid over 2 million dollars in taxes In Oregon they paid 7 and a quarter million dollars In some ltounties in Oregon, over half of the revenue of the counties is derived rom this source.
 The timber here is ripe, overripe and rotting yet the Forest Service has deliberately introduced and is enforcing a ruling that has worked great hardship on what little timber industries we have.
 The restricted cutting area has forced so much cull and second class logs onto the sawmills that they are making heavy weather of it financially
 This and heavy advance stumpage payments have practically forced al but a favored few and the most cptomistic out of the logging game I have often wondered why this /! is. Are they, or those who pull the strings, afraid that if they allow our ,ittle sawmills to become healthy youngsters that they might some cay protest the sale of firstclass l timber to the pulp mills.
The Alaskan., 1929-01-25

Or Is 1t that the narro ow-minded fatheads, given a little authority, are willing to throttle an industry to show their importance?
 The matter of cuttings is left to he discretion of the Forestry officer in charge. A little leniency in the matter of removing rotten and cull timber would go far toward putting our sawmills on sound financial basis. It would allow small logging outfits to operate and supply the mills with a grade of logs that they could handle at a profit. Nor would it materially effect the value of pulp timber stands.
 The only difference I can see would be in the number of logging 1 outfits. Instead of one or two big outfits dominating the market, thir- " or forty small camps could oper- ate.
 If we could offer our transient summer canncry help, the privilege If taking up a timber claim, we could hold a certain number of them. If we could offer the same to all corners. legally entitled to gov 9rnment land, then we could have d solid basis to work from. But NO. This timber is being held from the people of Alaska and
 f these United States, that he For lest Service may in due time. pass sit over to the pulp mills, at a price which, based on their present prfc- es and estimates, is around 20 mil lion dollars.
 Thirty pieces of silver for timber which these same pulp mills are to dry paying in the east rate whicl brings it's value to one and one-hal billion dollars.
 For Shame! For very shame You men in high places. Is the be trayal of your country's honor ant iyour fellow citizens trust worth tn, rrice?
 Deny no man the right to built himself a home in place that ht l3ves. We cannot all attain wealth or high honor in the eyes of our fel low men. But we all have thu dream of a home.
 If present conditions are allowed to continue, all that I can see in the future is the rape of another of Alas Aa's resources.
 Immense pulp plants and paper mills, perhaps company towns, rent ed houses, hired help, the proverb iai three crews-one coming, one working, one southbound.
 Work until they get stake! Back to the States to spend it. Come and So like the cannery crews. Come to Alaska to make stake Stay here ? HELL NO Why should they? There would be nothing here for them but a job.
 Build up country that way? Never.
 Attain statehood that way? Never The blight that is over Southeast e'n Alaska must be lifted We must nave our land and timber for pIi- 1 rate ownership.
