A TOTAL of ITO Canadians,
members Of the Border Chamber
Of Commerce, are enroute home
after spending two days in the
Valley.
According to a number of the
visitors, they thoroughly enjoyed
their Sojourn in this section and
found the Valley much better
than Florida" The comparison is
not the writer's and was made by
the Canadians because they visited
that state last year. The tour is
an annual event with them.
FAILURE Of the delegation to 60
to Hidalgo county on Sunday,
where a full day Of entertainment
had been planned for them, includ-
ing a tour of the county, a dinner
in Reynosa and golf on the cour-
ses, has caused considerable embar-
rassment in number of quarters.
Hidalgo citizens gathered at Ed
couch early with automobiles, pre-
pared to greet the visitors. Waited
hours before disbanding.
Cameron county and Brownsville
citizens who urged the trip and
who encouraged our neighbors to
make the preparations were dis
appointed.
The Southern Pacific railroad,
local and district officials, were
prepared to move the train at a
moments notice, according to Wills
j. Carter, general freight and pas
senger agent at Harlingen.
MEMBERS of the party before
leaving Brownsville Sunday evening
expressed regret that the schedule
had not been carried out as plan
ned and said proper apologies!F
would be offered citizens of Hi
dalgo.
1t was explained that among the
h70 persons in the party there were
F'many men of man kinds" and
fhat no provision had been made
for the ma ajority to rule. Hence
unanimous vote was needed.
Some of the visitors, captured by
the charms of Matamoros, desired
II, spend the day there. Others
N arranged golf games to be
NS on the local course.
SS4l others, tired out by the con-
tinuaI sightseeing of the entire
week, welcomed an opportunity to
really rest.
At any rate, they all seemed well
pleased with their visit here and
many of the Canadians spoke OF
returning and when they said 1t
, there was longing look in their
eyes which indicated it might be
well for a Valley real estate dealer
: to visit their home land with his
offerings.
LITTLE NOISE about it recently,
but those in close touch with the
situation think organized baseball
is assured for the Valley this year.
Bob Wells and o. N. Boston,
after a ten day tour of Hidalgo
county indicate definite action Is
sure during the present week.
Three Cameron county towns re-
; ported ready to go at the drop Of
O hat.
McALLEN FANS are said to be
. ready to put team in the field
on short notice. Brad" writes in
the McAllen Press as follows:
''McAllen baseball fans have
apparently assured the City of
Palms a place in the professional
baseball league now in course of
organization in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. DR.. w. W. Utzman,
executive Of American Legion
Loyal Service Post No. 81, McAllen,
stated today that meeting of the
Legion was scheduled for tonight.
at which time the matter would be
definitely settled.
"A PETITION bearing about go
signatures will be presented tonight,
according to DR.. Utzman, and def
mite action will be taken in order
to settle this much disputed ques-
ton. 1t is commendable that the
American Legion has at last been
consulted by those instrumental In
the organization Of the league, in
asmuch as that body has afforded
: McAllen ball fans a series of games
during each Of the past three or
four summers. Members of the
McAllen post have spent much
time and effort for the baseball
bettesEent of McAllen, and it is
only INT that they should be
alloV.ss some measure of coopera-
tion in the formation OF the pro
league"
