Recommended New Route
The jury of view, consisting Of
w. H. Smith, w. R. Campbell, w.
r. Gilliland, Howard D. Campbell
and D. A. Bomba, went to work,
and finally recommended the new
route through the King ranch.
The commissioners court accept
ed the report, and took steps to
condemn the property and pay for
it. The funds with which to pay
for it were deposited in a local bank
as soon as notice Of hearing was
sent out to property owners.
The latest injunction suit then
was filed, and a temporary injunc-
ton granted to check improvement
Of the road.
Johnson, when asked what rea-
son could be assigned for the i'm

of the new, said that he could think

PILOTS LICENSE
u is ALTERED

WASHINGTON, July 27.-(P-
New fliers will have more cha1sce to
earn their way toward a transport
pilots license under the new depart
ment of commerce air regulations,
effective September /.
Limited commercial pilots will be
permitted to act as co-pilotS on
transport planes in charge Of a
licensed transport pilot. Heretofore
only holders Of transport pilots Ii
censes could act as co-pilots on the
transports flying interstate COM
merce. and the limited commercial
pilot was confined to flying for hire
within his own state.
The new requirement will permit
holders Of the limited commercial
license to earn money and gain eX-
perience flying over the air routes
Of the country. Their flying as CO.
pilot, however, will not count as
solo time toward a transport pilots
license and this must be gained
upon another plane.
Transport pilots are required to
have 81 minimum Of 200 hours of
flying experience, while for limited
commercial fliers the minimum is
so hours. Many new filters of lin
tied means have found the matter
Of earning their way toward the
highest rating a difficult one.

IF the county should accept the
right-of-way for the old road, i'm
provement of a road through the
ranch would apparently be Hooked
for years." Johnson said.
1T would be impossible for us
to spend our money on improve
ment of that road, for the minute
we Sarted to someone would stop
it by injunction.
1T would probably be impossible
to condemn another road only a
mile and a half distant from this
one, because public necessity would
not exist.
Hence we interpret the con-
tinued efforts to have the county
accept the old road as a direct
move to block any road through

Net Earnings Of General
Motors Announced By
President

Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president,
General Motors Corporation, an
nounced today the following:
met earnings of General Motors
Corporation, including equities in
the undivided profits of subsidiary
end affiliated companies not con-
Bolidated, for the seconu quarter to-
tai $89, 949, 1923 as compared with
So1, 799, 1893 for the second quarter
Of last year. 1t will be recalled
that the second quarter of last year
established a new earnings record
for any quarter in the history OF
the corporation. After deducting
dividends on preferred and deben-
ture stocks amounting to S~2,352,066
there remains $87, 597 ,257, being the
amount earned on common shares
outstanding for the quarter. This
lis equivalent to SOL per share on
the common stock as against $2.O6
per ghare for the second quarter of
1928, calculated on a comparable
basis.
~ Earnings for the six months end
ed June 80, 1929, were $751;, $50, $40.
This compares with $161, 267 ,974 for
the corresponding period a year
ago. After deducting dividends on
the preferred and debenture stocks
amounting to 81, 703 1895 there re-
mains Sat, 1885, 74, being the
amount earned on the common
shares outstanding. This is equiva-
lent to 1888 per share on the COM
NOR stock as compared to $3.50 per
share for the first half of 1928 cal
culated on a comparable basis.
For the six months ended June
30 retail sales by General Motors
dealers to users were 1,081, 054 cars
compared with 1852 1873 for the Dr.
responding period of 1923. General
Motors sales to dealers for the first
six months totalled LII 1868 cars
compared with 1,083,316 for the COR
responding period Of 1928. The eX-
ceS in sales to dealers over sales
to consumers for the period was
primarily due to the fact that I'M
sold cars in the hands Of dealer
as Of the first of the year were alb
normally low due to important
model changes.
Cash, United States government
and other marketable securities on
June 80, 1929, amounted to $751;

sJune 80, 1929 amounted to 1924, 451,-
s019 compared with 1926, 788, 304 at
December 81, 1923. Net working

dividend requirement of $~13,050,O00

be grated or budded on the stocks
in the Valley. that would justify
shipment by air express.
The Valley produces at present
considerable quantities of kumquat
oranges, a very small orange, about
the size of a large olive, which are
not shipped. These oranges are
used extensively as decorations, and
for making exquisite preserves and
jellies. The fruit is of a deep
orange, and the leaves dark green,
giving a beautiful decorative effect.
Possibilities of shipping them will
be investigated further. They pro-
duce p~rolifically, and are a hardy
fruit.
"These fruits would give an al
most year-around output for such
an express line" Bell said, but it
will be necessary to fill in with
other articles. We are at present
investigating the possibility Of ship
ping roses by air. 1t is not generally
known that roses in the Valley will
bear practically the year around,
and without being placed in green
houses, or otherwise cared for. The
price paid for roses in the North
and East indicates that shipments
to these markets by air would prove
profitable.
There is also a possibility that
orange and grapefruit blossoms
could be shipped to the North and
East by air. The Valley could fur
nish plenty Of these, and they might
fill in the shipments, 10 keep bust
ness moving, and at the same time
bring a good profit to the shippers.
THE Valley grows considerable
quantities of bananas, out none are
shipped out. Most Of the varieties
grown in the Valley are of higher
quality than the ordinary shipping
banana Of South America. Ship
ments of these fine quality bananas
seem likely, and the growing cost of
bananas would be even -ess than
papayas."
Mexico would offer an unlimited
supply Of fruits, game and Uiher
products, but it is doubtful if much
of the produce Of that country could
be shipped in.
Northern Mexico abounds now in
wild game. Venison, quail, White
wings, wild duck, wild turkey, wild
goose, can be secured at any res
taurant in the northern part OF that
republic in season.
This game can be shipped into
America, with proper certificates
and inspection, although more eX-
tensive investigation now is being
made to determine the laws cover
ing such shipments. The game can
not be sold commercially In this
state, but Bell said it probably can
be sold in other states, if it can be
moved to them.
The air transport company plans
to fly its planes at such an altitude
that refrigeration will not be neces-
sary. and hence the game could be
moved to the consumers without
freezing. and without danger.
There seems every indication
that the Lower Rio Grande Valley
will furnish considerable business
for such an air express line. and
that it will stimulate cultivation of
a number of different kinds of fruits
in this section. and start new inter
prises." Bel said.
II have conferred with other
chambers Of commerce in the VAL
ley. and all of them have pledged
their support to encourage any new
undertakings necessary to supply
business for such a line"

SWEDISH KING
GIVEN TEMPLE
Monaghan Khan S d s
Buddhist Gift In
rs Boxes

STOCKHOLM, July 27.-(P-A
complete Mongol Buddhist temple
with all accessories, such as bells,
holy water fonts, and Sacrificial YES
sells in wrought silver, has been pre-
sented to the king in Sweden by
his princely colleague, Sin Tin
Geken Khan, ruler Of the Khara
Shar in Mongolia and the 32nd male
descendant Of the great ObiSh
Khan.
This valuable gift is being sent to
Stockholm in rs big boxes, and will
form a unique object in the COL
lections OF the Biographical mu-
scum in Stockholm, where it will
be installed. Except for Russia no
other European country has such
a raj specimen Of Buddhist cult.
Some time ago a member of the
Sven Hedin expedition, a Danish
officer, Svens Haslund, when max
ing fire in the desert happened to
burn part of his furcoat. When he
presented himself to Sin Tin Khan,
the Buddhist priests noticed his half
burnt coat and declared it was an
omen That the hhan ana the DGSe
were spiritual brothers.
Consequently the visitor and the
Khan meditated the whole night in
the tent of the ruler, while the
priests outside beat their drums.
Next morning Haslund was brand
ed with a glowing piece Of coal in
two places on his left arm to fur
Their confirm the kinship with the
Monaghan prince.
The guest spent some time with
the Sin Tin Khan and on leaving
he was asked to take with him the
magnificent present of a complete
Mongol temple, a 2,000-year-old
Tibetan collection of manuscripts,
and a royalty adorned saddle for
the Khan's cousin" the king of
Sweden.
