DRoMIsE OF a new passenger air
line between Brownsville and
Kansas City made its appear
ance yesterday in the reported act
ivities Of F. @. Gillick in Kansas
City.
MFR. Gillick is known in Browns
vile, and while the idea ne is adj
vancing is at present only in the
promotion stage, IL is added that
the Kansas City Chamber Of Com
merce Is becomlning interested in
the project, and with that body in
terested, Brownsville and the Valley
may be further advanced in avn
alton progress.
Tbs Brownsville a.-port has been
made a permanent proposition. Il
has been declared one of the out
standing international gateways
Our flying business might be said
now to have a berth in the big lea
que of flying. AS the years 60 By
the more important a factor it will
become.
Now let that deep water port be
added, apd then tack on a railway
to Mexico and let the world watch
our smoke OF city growth.
TODAY is the last day Texas nim-
rods can keep venison in stor-
age. The season closed some
TsE days ago and about ten days OF
grace have been granted for caring
for the meat by the more success
fui hunters.
Warning is hereby given that this
is no bluff from the game wardens,
and the juicy steaks had better be
removed home. The engineer Of this
column has known several friends
to. lose their venison through pro-
S~rastination.
II there be any in Brownsville,
who have racked their brains TO de-
termine what 10 do with it. and still
cannot decide we will not charge
anything for offering them a very
pregnant suggestion. Our telephone

CPEAKING Of presents, Mr.. and
A Mrs. Z. W. Archer Of Lyford
during the Christmas holidays,
worked out a plan of giving
presents. which. if adopted by more

general advertising as well as highly
pleased friends.
They fixed up five boxes of fine
fruit and sent them to five promi-
nent men in Ohio. They were &C
companied by Mexican curios
in the form of walking canes.
Two OF the parties made the re-
cipients were bankers, but where
the donors played a stronger hand
was by sending two of them 70
newspaper editors. AS a result the
newspaper editors started talking
about the fine presents they had re-
ceived. and the bankers. not to be
outdone. Joined in the chorus. News
paper editors will talk, you know.

establishing a branch office in
Brownsville.
Brownsville welcomes Messrs Bre-
nnan & Corrigan. both Of whom are
known to the writer. II is hoped
that reports they make TO the other
brokers will cause the others to see
fit to also establish offices in
Brownsville. Our business was TO get

N a move. and not 70 sob Laredo
nor to cheat Eagle Pass. II offices

towns made happy instead of one,
and the final outcome might be
that they will later r~e-establiss Of

and everybody will be happy all

THERE is n thing the Valley
