ANOTHER CROWD Of some 1900
visitors arrived in the Valley this
week on land company special
A-ains.
&This brings the total for January

CAPTAIN <. A. STERLING re-
sides a couple Of doors from The
Herald office.
Captain Sterling is an ardent
booster for the Lower Rio Grande
Valley.
He knows all of Texas. More par
ticularly, he knows this border
country. he ranched along the
border for many years, until his
retirement from active business a
few years ago.
In addition to all that he knows

that a tour Of Mexico by a repre-

Valley should prove of material

Johnston. a native of the border,
Is always ehdeavcriig to do some
thing that will tend to promote and
cement the friendly relations exist

Of the border and the people Of

He is now investigating the cost
