SAN BENITO. Aug. ia legal
battle between various water inter
ests in the Valley, which seemed
certain a few days ago in connec-
ton with the j. T. Franklin appli-
cation In Hidalgo county, has APP
parently been put off for years as
a result Of the action Of the Valley
irrigation Districts here this week.
The sentiment Of the meeting
here was that no legal action be
taken in case the application of
Franklin Is acted on favorably aft
er his plans are finally submitted.
The reasons for such action were
given as a belief that there Is prob
ably no legal recourse whereby
Franklin can be stopped. as long as
he complies with the requirements
OF his permit.
These requirements are that he
provide an acre foot of storage for
every acre of land in the section for
which the permit is granted. and
that he use nothing but flood wa
tiers Of the Rio Grande.
1t was explained at the meeting
that the state board has no juris-
diction over the normal flow Of the

game cocks Of the grain trade in

differences held responsible for the
delay in appointment Of a grain
man to the farm board. wheat pools
on one hand. and cooperative grain
elevators on the other. are brought

The super-organization would act
as q central marketing agency
through which the annual exports
of 200. 900 bushels. or approx
mately one-fourth Of the entire
wheat crop Of the nation, would be
sold abroad.
There would be export represen-
tatives in foreign fields. acting
much after the fashion Of foreign
export agencies maintained by the
Canadian wheat pool. which han
dies half Of Canada's wheat crop.
II would act as an Intermediary

EXAMPLE FOR
VALLEY CITIES
Commission Holds Industrial
Construction Plan Should
Be Followed
Especial to The Herald.l

A2AL4AGA W az
McALLEN. Aug. 15.-McAllen city
coming commission Wednesday
r de public an opinion in connec-
ton with the proposed construction
OF a spur track across the Inter-
County Highway in West McAllen,
for which permission had been ask
ed from The chamber Of commerce
by John r. Lomax Of San Benito.
The request asked that the Missouri
Pacific Lines be permitted to build
the spur IN order to serve a pack
ing plant which Lomax contem-
plates erecting and possibly others
which might desire to make use OF
the same SPUR.
The opinion thus far climaxes a
discussion which has attracted
much attention locally and accord
ing to reports, results OF the dis
position of the matter will serve
as an example for other Valley
aities.
Won't Cross Highway
The coming commission pointed
Gut that the industries desiring the
construction Of the spur could be
served by a SPUR track from the
Southern Pacific Lines IN McAllen,
thus removing the necessity of the
crossing of O main highway by a
railway. II also insists that there
Is sufficient room on the industrial
sidings already served by the Mis-
souri, Pacific for the industries de-
string the construction of the track
and that the definite plan already
formulated for construction in that
portion Of the city should be fol-
lowed.
The problem was placed in the
hands of the city commission by
the McAllen Chamber Of Commerce
several dsvs ago after the latter
body decided 1t was without the
bounds Of its authority. The next
commission meeting Is scheduled
for August 10.
