EX-SHAH AGAIN RICH.
Cleans Up 100000 in Paris
Stock Exchange Deals.

The ex-King of Kings and Shadow Of
God upon Earth, his majesty Ahmed
Kadsjar, former Shah of Persia, is again
a wealthy man, writes the Paris CORE
spondent of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. Good fortune came back to him
to the tune of 100000 francs. about
S2,000,000. through lucky speculations
on the Paris Stock Exchange. His
gambling operations netted him 35,000,-
600 francs during the month of May.
and as his luck held out in June, he has
fully recuperated from the pessimism In
which four years of poverty and semi
starvation in little perfume shop had
plunged MIN.
The perfume shop has been sold. All
the former Shah's creditors have been
satisfied and he has fine old mansion
at Ruell, not far from Pola Negri's
chateau. A staff of lackeys and funk
eys has been hired and many of his old
friends and fellow Persian exiles have
Joined him to play the role of courtiers.
Each day the Shah drives out in an ex-
pensive limousine for conference with
his brokers, for he is keeping up his
financial transactions.

BANK
PROTECTION
Gets TRIAL
New System To Be
Used By District to
Prevent Cut Off of
Pump Plant

An innovation in bank protection
work will be tried out by the Los
Fresnos irrigation district on a Sec
tion Of Rio Grande river bank about
half a mile southwest Of its pump
ing plant where the Rio Grande
threatens to form a banco and leave
the plant about half a mile from
the main stream.
Authority to install the bank pro-
lection on the south side Of the
river was received last week from the
Mexican government, and it is under
stood the work will be completed on
about 1000 feet Of bank before the
May-June floods.
The system 10 be used, known as
the kellner system, has proved very
satisfactory on the Brazos, Red and
Missouri rivers, where conditions
are very similar to those obtaining
on the lower Rio Grande, according
to Investigations by W. Z. Anderson,
San Benito engineer, who will be in
charge Of the work.
The protector consists Of a num-
Der Of steel members, each about Is
feet in length. These are bolted to-
gether in 4 star shape, each section
being Joined by 15-foot members,
the whole forming a structure which
has much the appearance Of 6-legged
saw buck" A number of heavy
wire cables are strung the entire
length of the structure and to the
joining members. When completed
II IS rolled down TO the toe Of the
bank. The steel members and wires
eliminate part of the force of the
current, gather drift and gradually
build up the bank. Experiments on
the Missouri and BRACES have proved
very satisfactory, ii was stated, the
current not only protecting the bank
but also gradually building it up.
The cost is estimated az approx
mately S. per lineal foot.
The work will be watched with
great interest by the irrigation dis
tricts of the Valley and also the
engineers of Cameron and Hidalgo
counties II the protector prevents
additional cutting at that point. en-
g~ineers predict it will come into gen.
eral use in protecting pumping
plants. highways and also acreages
where the Rio Grande threatens to
form bancos.
One feature of general interest
brought out in connection with the
work is that the Mexican govern
ment owns 90 meters or approximate
~ 66 feet back from the top of the
river bank, this being a provision of
arnold Mexican law which has eve

Yesterday industry located with little
regard for transportation facilities
which put the cotton mills in New
England, although the raw material
and principle markets for cotton are
IN the south; and today industry
must have the most economical trans
p~ortation possible if it is to survive.
The influence Of industrial prop
erty values flows through all real
estate values and affects the price OF
stores, apartment sites and homes.
and il is therefore, interesting to the
layman to know something Of how in
dustrial values are brought about.
What macs a manufacturer locate
his cranes and derricks and ovens
on a particular site and thereby rem
der profit to the owner Of the land
and to the owners Of adjoining lands
for many miles?
Three Fundamentals
"Among the things that industry
must have today to be successful,
there are three outstanding funda-
neutrality-suspicious., or railroad
facilities, accessibility, and labor"
says Mr.. Beardslee. "And land that
can offer these things has high
value but so important are each Of
these factors that the absence of any
one Of them in an industrial location
will usually ruin an enterprise. In
the human body the heart and brain
and lungs each are indispensable or
gans, but the individual deprived of
any one Of these organs certainly
dies. Transportation, accessibility
and labor are the heart. and brain
and lungs Of successful industrial
location and the industry deprived of
any one Of these elements is ruined
at the beginning.
1T is the degree in which each Of
these fundamentals is present in an
area in which an industrial site is
located thta influences the value of
that site. In other words. many in
dustrial sites in a city may have
transportation facilities, which means
railroad facilities for the delivery
OF raw materials or distribution of
finished products or both; but some
sites or perhaps n site may have
better transportation facilities than
other sites.
"The reason for the Importance OF
ali these fundamentals in creating
industrial property values lies in the
Importance Of overhead in modern
business. Every expense connected
with the manufacture of any product
increases the overhead. adds to the
cost Of delivery TO the consumer, and
cuts down on the profits Of its max
ers. And with the sharp competition
thta now exists in almost every in
dustry, manufacturers must keep
down costs or be undersold.
Distribution Is Key
"And the cost of distribution OF a
product is becoming more and more
4 determining cause of success or
failure Of industry.
"If a site is inaccessible to rail
roads and a manufacturer locating on
il must paw trucking charges 10 have
his raw materials hauled from the
freight sattion to his plant and the
finished product hauled back for dis
tribution, then these costs show up

CABBAGE GOES
TO HIGH PRICE
Superior Grades Bring
AS High AS SIS a
Ton, Is Report

The highest price paid for cabbage
IN recent years was recorded during
the past week when superior grades
brought rs high as S55 per ton, the
price at practically all loading sta
tions holding from $40 to SIS per
ton.
The cabbage movement is increas-
ing steadily, 2S care moving out FRI
day. with indications that shipments
would reach 35 70 30 cars daily by
the last Of next week.
The mixed car movement also
shows a steady gain, and the percent
age Of mixed cars is in excess Of
last year. Friday movement include
81 mixed cars out Of a total Of ll3,
including fruit. The Missouri Pa
cific report for Thursday shows a
season mixed car total Of ass as
compared with 997 both straight and
mixed, or approximately 80 per cent
Of the total movement. Last season
4,673 cars Of mixed vegetables were
Skinned over the Missouri Pacific
Lines out Of a total vegetable move
ment Of approximately 10000 cars.
Fruit shipments continue light, due
TO the unsteady market, but are x
pected 20 increase the latter part Of
the month. The movement Friday
was II cars, bringing the season to-
tai 10 SOS. Favorable action BY the
L. ). department OF agriculture in
extending the shipping season from
March 1 to April 4. would result in
immediate improvement Of the mar
ket, shippers state. Unless the ex-
tension is granted, very little inn
provement in marketing conditions
Is anticipated.
Black rot, which has appeared in

PREDICT BIG
CROP ONIONS
Over 1000 Acres In
Willacy; Forecast
Record Yield

RAYM0NDvILLE. Jan. 1.-THE
Willacy county onion crop will be
the largest on record. according to
estimates of local growers and ship
pers. A survey this eek revealed
that approximately 1000 acres were
planted to onions; that the stand is
excellent. and the yield expected to
break all previous records.
Due to the fact that half a cent a
pound has been added to the tariff
rate, eliminating part Of the Span
ish and Egyptian crops, there is ev-
erv indication that the entire pro-
duetion will sell at n very profitable
figure.
Watermelon growers also predict a
large acreage and n heavy yield.
Most of the growers had their land
prepared before the rains last fall
and there is ample moisture in the
soil to give the crop an excellent
start. According to local estimates
approximately 1000 acres will be
planted in the Raymondville. San
Perlita and Yturria sections.
Averages of beets. carrots. cabbage
and tomatoes will be greatly in ex-
cess of last year. II is estimated
that shipments OF truck crops from
WiIlacy county will exceed by 100
per cent any former year.
