A1EUT. GEN. Edgar Jadwin no
c&hger is chief of army engineers at
washington, having been retired
Wednesday, that being his Gath
birthday.
Gen. Jadwin was more than a
name to the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley, and although he had denied
some of the appeals which had been
addressed to him from this section,
he was considered friend.
His interest IN this section was
great and his knowledge of it more
thorough than many persons be-
lieved.
Commodore Louis Cobolini, until
his death two years ago head OF
the chamber of commerce harbor
committee. was a close personal
friend of Gen. Jadwin.
When a problem of any nature
arose along the Gulf coast Gen.
Jadwin would address a letter TO
Commodore Cobolini asking for in
formation.
For Commodore Cobolini during
his more than so years Of life had
accumulated a vast store of knowl-
edge on a great variety OF subjects
and among the subjects on which
he was posted was navigation con-
ditions along the coast.
So Gen. Jadwin often asked Com
nodore for nformation-and always
received a reply, a reliable reply.
Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, for
many years assistant to Gen. Jad-
win. has become chief Of army en-
Eineers and in him the Valley also
has a friend.
