terity free fishing and hunting.
To this end a committee has been
named composed OF Sidney Kring, S.
MaSton Nixon and Judge H. l..
Yates and q. c. Richardson Of
Brownsville.
Padre Island composes almost one
half Of the gulf coast boundary OF
Texas and in the bays locked by
that island exists some OF the fin
est fishing in the world. The South
Texas chamber feels a portion Of II
should be set aside as 3 state park
or preserve.
fright now Brownsville is planning
acn her part of the boundary island
being converted into a high powered
bathing beach. fishing resort, golf
course, and what not, with a few
big hotels and beach side homes.
BROWNSVILLE has been desig-
ii mated as the starting place Of
a big airplane q 10 the Pa
cific coast. What the final condi-
tons for such an event will be
could not be told from the telegram
received at the Brownsville Cham
Der OF Commerce yesterday, but If
the stunt comes within reason II
will put this city very much IN the
limelight during that period.
The world Is fast turning alrmind-
ed. Air development and air feats
are watched with great interest.
Witness the recent endurance con-
test in Chicago. The whole United
States now knows the Hunter
brothers.
MINATED Annie says some OF
~ the men she knows claim TO be
airminded when they are only
vacuum minded.

We knew all along Mrs. Kasey

fight induced by politics.

Editor Brownsville Herald:
VTTE noticed that J.. B. Chambers
wv had neglected to appear when
W the Harrington Chamber OF Com
merce called on him for an account
ing Of the expenditure of the funds
Of the Arroyo Navigation District.
Now isn't that naughty? Since the
chamber Of Commerce has been so
Generous as to offer to loan $780, 900
I'D another c0mpany's money 70 the
government, / suppose II feels duty
bound 10 keep tab on II.
We wonder just when they came
into possession Of the funds Of the
Arroyo Navigation District. We
would like TO ask If II is really any
Of their business what Mr.. Chambers
has done? May we ask who created
the Arroyo Navigation District? AS
we understand it that was created
by the taxpayers and is being sus-
tanned BY those who PAY their
taxes. and hence belongs TO them.
II is possible that the Harrington
Chamber Of Commerce directorate
will call Henry Ford on the carpet
within the next twelve months.
Here is for fishing. bathing, and
Measure boating from the s. p. Ry.
bridge down the Arroyo 10 Padre
Island.
Signed
A. c. Moody.
RER. Moody, just q minute please.
Why the hurry? We are for
Ava boating and bathing and fishing
or the arroyo, too.
We are not particularly concern
ed with whether MI. Chambers sees
fit TO appear before the Harlingen
Chamber of Commerce, except as a
matter Of news.
But somehow or other we do be-
lieve remembering something about
his wiring from Washington that
Brownsville and Point Isabel would
not get their deep-water ports. And
sure enough they did.
IT is our belief that some day, and
that not. SO far of. Brownsville
u will be a great industrial and
commercial center. That every
town in the Valley viii share in the
increased prosperity. That Harlin-
gen will have a channel connection
,sath the Brownsville port, and that
~ VIII be made a thing Of beauty,
which will be almost If not as val
liable for pleasure as for business.
Fine DAYS like this we feel that
everybody feels good and prosper
Gus or that they should feel SO.
