Tense. This is Jul inland waterway.
Our deep waterway when COM
pleted will open up our products TO
the seven seas, but what we need
now most Of all, as I see 1t, IS the
opening UP Of our own trade terri
tory to the middle states, where we
sell most Of our products, as our
percentage of produce that VIII go
on the seas is very limited at this
time, but if we car get the govern
ment behind our waterways pro-
and in due season get the
government to give us thirty feet
of water to any part of the valley,
that is what we need. Personally, l
had rather see that thirty feet OF
waterway built up the Arroyo Colo
RADIO to the Missouri Pacific
bridge, but in dealing with the
United States government and the
National Board of Engineers, we
must eliminate selfishnssS and go
to them on a broad service basis,
service for our entire Valley, taking
into consideration the Judgment or
the government engineers, and
whenever this waterway program Is
finally completed it will be a mat
ter for the government engineers to
decide as to which location is the
most practical.
The entire Valley joined hands at
one time for the deep water port
at Point Isabel. The government
approved that program, and set
out certain conditions with which
to be complied. Now, for the citi-
zens Of the Valley to try to reverse
the opinion of the entire govern
mental machinery is a very danger
out program for our Valley as a
whole. Any sound thinking man
who will study the problems we
have to meet, the conditions we
have to meet, who will lay aside
all p%rejudices and selfish interests,
is bound to realize and come to
the n conclusion that we had
better get what we can from the
government and not try to destroy
the work Of the past thirty years on
the program that has been outlined
and on which all werc united .

I feel that the program that the
leaders have in mind will in time
bring a thirty foot channel to the
Missouri Pacific bridge. and it will
be my purpose to work for that
program as I have always done.
The only differences among the
thinking people Of Harrington today,
when the facts are known, are in
the method or line of procedur.
They are all working for the same
goal, but unfortunately a few are
spreading poison and trying to de-
stroy what the others m doing. AL
most all Of the people who are TAX
ing this position are honest in their
views, but misguided by the few
who are scattering the poison and
disappearing the position Of GER

the Harrington community does will
nave very little effect on the final
results Of this program, especially
as long as they are torn up and di-
verified as they are at the present
time. The program will be carried
on in a constructive way, regard
less of the efforts of the few who
are trying to mislead the good peo-
pie. Naturally this is very annoy
ing, but you have seen these red
ants and possibly a big Arab stall
lion being stung by one of these
ants. He StompS his foot somewhat
annoyed, but in a few minutes the
ant is forgotten, and he goes on
his way, and the ant passes out Of
existence. The same applies to
those who are scattering poison
among the good people. They will
have their day and will tear up
the community for a time, but the
good people will soon realize the
truth, get together and be happy
again as in the old days.
Admires Sarpenter
! admire MI. Carpenter Of Rio
Hondo for his statement that he is
for Rio Hondo first, last, and all
OF the time. He would not be the
right kind Of man or citizen if he
did not take this stand. I appre-
c1ate such citizens as neighbors
and I want Mr.. Carpenter to know
that I am for Rio Hondo also. Nat
urally, I am for my own back yard
flrst, however, I will do ANYTHING
IN my power to assist in the build
ing OF Rio Hondo asflong as it does
not destroy something in nv own
back. I do not believe In de-
stroying anything Of value. I am
not willing to destroy Rio Hondo
