CHAIN OF WESTERN
STATIONS PLANNED
Five Pacific Coast Plants Are
Basis of New
Network.

A third national chain of broadcast
Ing stations, originating with five Pacific
Coast stations as nucleus and plan
ming to extend eastward as fast as land
line connections are made available, is
being organized by Adolph S. Linden,
Seattle banker. Mr.. Linden was In
Washington this week working out the
details
The network will be an extension Of
the American Broadcasting Co., con-
trolled by Mr.. Linden, whose five far
hooked up with the Columbia Broad
casting System. It will be known by
that name in its nationwide operations
The five stations of the present ABC
group are KJR, Seattle; KEX, Portland;
KGA, Spokane; KYA, San Francisco.
and KMTR, Los Angeles. This group of
stations Is regularly hooked up for
broadcasting identical programs. The
new national system is expected to en-
ptasize programs originating in West
ern cities. Studios will be maintained
also In New York, Chicago and the other
important centers of talent.
Opening Is Uncertain.
The time fixed for the Inauguration
Of the new national chain and the adj
ditional stations it intends to link re-
main undisclosed. Mr.. Linden is known
to have enlisted adequate capital and
there has been some discussion of q
possible affiliation with Wired Radio,
Inc, the subsidiary of the North Amer
lean public utility group. which Is
preparing to institute system of send
ing radio programs into homes via
power lines.
The tie-up with wired radio" If
there Is any, will probably be undertak-
en- for an exchange of artists and copy
righted music. Informal assurances from
reliable sources of information are to
the effect that the new national net
work will be strong enough to COM
pete with the present national chains,
the Columbia BroadcaSting System and
National Broadcasting Co.
The prospective advent of a network
backed by western interests forecasts
offerings to the radio listeners Of the
Middlewest and East of more enter
tainment originating in Pacific Coast
centers like Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. Californians constantly boast that
the talent on hand there Is quite as
good as that available in the East, and
often superior. Some objection has
been voiced from time to time to the
fact that only occasionally do the pres
ent chains put on programs featuring
artists who are in Hollywood for the
"talkies," or OF a symphony orchestra

News Route Carried
ByHerald's Daily eliveryC Car

j. S. Robertson, driver of The
Herald delivery car, carries the
route on the worlds longest main
street, the highway between Browns
vile and Mission.
On week days. Robertson makes
his route without letting the sun
set on him. He distributes papers
to all parts OF the Valley Sunday
mornings before the sun rises. In
bad weather or fair. Robertson sticks
close to his schedule delivering
bundles TO dealers and throwing
papers to subscribers along the
Longest main street"
On Sunday morning he makes a
loop through the Valley of about
$50 miles. Leaving Brownsville at
about 3 a. m. he touches at these
points: San Benito. Harrington. La
Feria, Mercedes. Weslaco. Donna.
Alamo. San Juan, Pharr. McAllen,
Mission. Edinburg. La Blanca. Elsa.
La Villa. Santa Rosa. Primera and
San Benito. Bundles are delivered
for dealers in each Of these cities
before the sun arises.
Through this rapid delivery sys-
tenn. the entire Valley obtains SER
vice comparable with that received
in the larger cities. The news that
is placed on the subscribers door
step Sunday morning is the same
that subscribers in the larger cities
get.
On week days. Robertson makes a
shorter jaunt but is aided by an
other carrier.
People know just about when The
Herald truck is due. Robertson Is
often met at the cross roads by sub
scribers. He flips them a paper with
a wave of his hand and is off again
with no time lost.
One remarkable instance along
this lines Is a dog that came to get
the paper. The subscriber lived o
half a mile from the road near
Weslaco and each day his dog would
trot up to the road at the sound of
the approaching Herald vehicle.
The paper was thrown to the dog
which would take it back TO the
house. The dog was always on time.
Most people have a CHEEKY word
for Robertson. They are glad to see
the approach Of his car, loaded with
news events of the day. CHEEKY I'M
less he is late.
People surely must want The
Herald" Robertson says. You
should hear the things they say
when the paper is late"
