CHANEC PLANS
FOR CANADIANS
Touring Group Unable To
Make Hidalgo County
Trip AS Planned

Due to a technicality, which pre-
Vented the Southern Pacific from
complying with the amended
schedule arranged for the Borders
Chamber of Commerce, the Cana
Valley Saturday morning, vas IN
able to make the contemplated tour
Of Hidalgo county Sunday.
"The printed itinerary supplied 20
those on the special train called for
a stop in Brownsville until Sunday
evening, and it was through I'M
avoidable circumstances that the
amended schedule had to be aban-
doned Sunday morning" j. l.. VIM
ter, acting mayor of Windsor, On
tario, said. Letters will be sent to
the various chambers Of commerce
IN Hidalgo county explaining the
situation"
Failure to carry out the amend
ed itinerary was a great disappoint-
ment to the Canadians as well as
residents Of Hidalgo county. A
large number of cars were assem-
bled at Edcouch for the guests who
failed to arrive. The program for
the day included a trip over the
county with luncheon at Reynosa.
Many OF the Canadians made the
tour of the Valley in cars Sunday,
the train leaving Brownsville Sun
day night.
1T is very unfortunate that the
arrangements made by the Valley
secretaries could not be carried
out" Mr.. Winters said. We had
planned to see the entire Valley,
and many Of us did make a tour Of
the entire section. We sincerely re-
greet that We were unable to NEE.

bled at Edcouch with cars"
Officials of the Canadian organ
ization stated Sunday night before
their special train pulled out that
they wished to convey their thanks
and appreciation for the welcome
recei,2d in the Lower Valley, TO
Mayor A. 5. Cole, the chambers Of
commerce of Brownsville, San Be-
nito and Harrington, and to the cit
liens Of these cities and Cameron
county.
They called attention to the &C.
tion of the Brownsville citizens who
came to their rescue Sunday when
it was unexpectedly found that the
special train could not be sent to
Edcouch as planned.
Almost without notice, many cit
liens came with cars and carried
the goodwill trippers TO Mata-
moros the Country club and to
Point Isabel.

the seventy-first-for under spe-
cial proclamation of President Cool

came into session at the moment
the old senate passed into history.
Looking ahead and with Herbert
Hoover's campaign promises in

these questions of tariff revision and
farm relief.
