IN OUR
VALLEY
. BY CHARLES HALL

- By CHARLES HALL -
ONCE the passage OF the Point
Al Isabel-Brownsville port project
In the house some few days ago,
nothing has been heard as to the
probable time the omnibus bill will
be brought up in the senate.
what is being heard, however. is
that a stiff fight Is brewing in the
middle and north west against the
Erie Canal project, which is con-
tanned In that bill OF sll0,0 0O. 900.
Minnesota newspapers seem to be
All stirred up against the New York
project. Hot editorials are appear
ing declaring that the canal pro-
tect Is not entered on its merits.
and does not offer a way to the
sea.
Senators are being called upon TO
Kill IL when it comes to the upper
house Nothing seems to be said
anywhere else against any Of the
other projects, and present action
only offers a possible delay TO the
Valley project. However. it is be-
leved that the bill will again win
IN the senate, and that the VAL
ley project is safe, whatever hap
pens.
The quicker it is introduced and
voted upon In the Senate the safer
its passage seems.
DRESS dispatches today tell of a
new glider plare record. This
time Jack Barstow OF California
stayed in the air Is hours and Is
minutes. but he is not credited with
the championship because he did
not provide himself with a baro-
graph.
elders are now in comparative
infancy and that record Will soon
be broken again. The moGorleSS
ships offer a multitude Of imagin-
able possibilities. It Is expected TO
open a club at an early date in
Brownsville.
1t Is said that all those who can
ride a bicycle can manipulate the
lighter than air craft. To start, q
mighty pull is given with ropes and
then II is up TO the pilot how long
he stays in action and what he does.

are safe unless they start Stunting.
Ten years from now we may speak
Of "a ding" somewhere to spend
I week end. To the engineer Of
this column one Of the greatest re-
decming features OF a glider is that
there is never an occasion TO have to
set out and crank 1t. That is
said to be rather -inconvenient when
an airplane Is up.
IF YOU have not had your census
taken, don't be so stingy. Give
1t to somebody.
FUDGE Oscar Dancy and j. J.
Bishop. county auditor. have adj
vanced one proposed method for
financing an addition TO the county
jail.
This Is to issue warrants, which
banks will handle for the county.
There was only one thing that the
engineer OF this column did no
exactly cotton to in that statement
That was at the opening OF the an
nouncement where it said: There
is a possibility, although not a great
probability II the possibility"
does not materialize. let's get a
scheme with a probability"
However, It is known that Judge
Dancy has one or two other ideas
on the matter. He is for jail relief.
HOWEVER one may feel about
m Cameron's present judge, he is
probably one OF the hardest
workers who ever held office. Re-
porters who call on officials Of the
people day after day get TO know
them ABOUT as well as anybody.
Those calling on Judge Dancy report
MIN continually at work on some
thing. The man wig continually
plugs along will eventually pass n
high flyer in business, unless n
high FLYER is exceedingly blessed
with luck. Judge Dancy is known as
the letter writing, road building
Judge and the latter Is not over
looking the splendid support given
by the commissioners.
Some day ne is going to work out
a way to close up the gaps in the
military road. and then the Valley
will have two highways to relieve
the present congestion. But lets
get through with this jail business
first. One thing at a time 10 para

ed.
CPEAKING of the congestion on
n the present highway. statistics
- from the patrol officials show
there have been 8 deaths since
March 28 Of 1929. Hospitals have
treated AZ, and % have been given
first aid.
That makes something like 6 in
iuries per month. And many Of these
have been within the past few
months. The state officers have
helped out a lot. but with the pres
ent traffic a fifteen foot road can
not keep a Of cars clear all
the time.
