Fifty years ago DR.. Alec w. Acheson Of Denison
began a study Of the possibility Of making the Red
River n~avigable. Now representatives Of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas held a conference
the other day and discussed flood control for the
Red River valley.
These empire builders have q plan. They hope the
lawmakers Of all four states viii cooperate In the
work of Harvesting the river. They are talking Of q
flood control dam six miles northwest OF Denison to
hold back water Of the river. thus dissipating a flood
menace and at the same time providing unlimited
power as well as waters for irrigation and navigation
purposs.
DR.. Acheson may live to see the Red river har-
messed. the Red river n~avigable and the flood waters
conserved for irrigation purposes in a valley as rich
as that watered by the Nile. Texans are coming
out Of their trance.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
J. B. Scott Believed In Valley

An unshakeable faith in Brownsville and the Lower
ITO Grande Valley was the outstanding characteristic
Of John B. Scott. pioneer developer who died here
early IN the past week-and in this lay the secret Of
his success.
Back In the early days Of development here there
were many times when a large majority Of the popu-
lation lost faith and as a consequence progress of
the section was retarded.
But at such times Mr.. Scott. say his closest associ-
ates, was firm in his belief in the eventual sound
prosperity Of the entire section.
He was always a bull on the Valley" one friend
said. He was progressive yet sound and conservative
In q degree that prevented dangerous over-expan-
sion.
Mr.. Scott came TO the Valley in about 1906 from
Ashland. Calf, where for several years he was en-
gagged in gold mining. out there his partner was
A. G. Brokow. The partner came to the Valley first
and it was on his recommendation that Scott came
to investigate and remained to build.
Within three months he became associated with
J. G. Fernandez in West Brownsville property. a tract
OF approximately 1000 acres which extended to the
Country club. All West Brownsville development,
from Just west Of the present high school, was brought
about by the Brownsville Land and Irrigation GO,
Of which he was president and general manager.
This initial investment was followed by many others,
including the purchase Of the Los Fresnos tract. he
also ORGANIZED and operated the West Brownsville Ca
nal Co, and constructed that system Inc Los rIes-
nos irrigation system was built by him and both were
under his management until they were sold to the
land owners in the respective territories Mr.. Fer
nandez was associated with him in all these enter
prises. Mr.. Scott also owned considerable property
in Brownsville, including the Riverside hotel on
Levee street.
For the last eight years Of his life he was president
Of the State National Bank. though he was not &C
tive in that institution.
Coming here with about $4,000. it IS estimated his
estate TODAY is valued at over 100000, al Of It made
as a result Of faith in the Valley
But Mr.. Scott did not devote all his time to selfish
interests. He was for a considerable time president
Of che chamber Of commerce and that organzatlon
made notable strides under mis- administration.
During his entire residence here he took an acuVe
mart in all civic enterprise and on May occasions
his sound advice played an important part II snap
ING the destiny Of the city. His was the outstanding
mind In Brownsville" his partner. Mr.. Fernandez
said.
Mr.. Scott gave literally 10 all charities, but his
name never appeared In any list Of donors. He was
the backbone of the E1ks lodge here for many years
and always helped support the Charity home.
In the death of John B.. Scott Brownsville and the
Valley have lost a tried and true friend.

CHAPTER p

CEAf1EN ~
He had asked her to be his wife,
What heaven ii would be if she
could laugh and be gay and show
him how completely happy and con-
tent she could be with no one else
IL the world beside him-forever.
When Rosalie did not respond to
his gaiety. and when she threw her
self in his arms and cried out a
protest. Roy was so utterly at q
loss to understand that he sat star
ing at her out of hurt and ques-
tioning eyes-almost bitterly.
She did not love him. Or she did
not trust him. Perhaps she loved
someone else. Or had simply adored
and trusted him like a little girl
might - not dreaming of anything
so new to her young heart as love
and marriage.
Rosalie read the question in his
eyes, and shook her head IN a ges-
ture Of protest that he should doubt
her.
"Oh. I do love you-Roy. I do
love you"
"Rosalie." he asked her then. a
little sternly. What is MARITIME to
you? What have you done?"
You don't think" her eyes we're

He kissed her again ~savagely. and
held her 50 close that he nearly
stifled her.
"Of course. little darling. / believe
you. But there's something-and
you are driving me mad!"
RoSalie knew she must quiet his
fears and keep him from saying
anything to MARITIME at all costs
Even at the cost of her love. She
would rather lose him a million
times than have harm come to him.
Desperately. and like a much older
woman Of the world. she forced her
self out Of his arms and sat back.
