BROWNSVILLE WINS PORT
IN OUR
VALLEY
/. BY CHARLES HALL.

mended by the board of army en-
gineers.
With usual procedure following
this announcement the funds for
this project will now be included IN
the congressional budget, and u
was said today funds might be avail
able by July ].
This is the greatest news that has
come TO Brownsville in years. IN fact
Amany. many years. The news spread
y. bike wild fire and with the know
ledge that such characters as John
Garner. Morris Sheppard, and r..
b. Creager are joining hands with
Brownsville. San BenIto n Point
Isabel. 1t seems that ii Is just about
time for every body TO begin con-
graduating every body else.
nROBABLY never before in the
history Of the Valley have there
been so many visitors in II. Ho-
tells, rooming houses are reported
silled and houses TO rent are hard
- be had.
One travelling a who came 10
Brownsville yesterday said that he
started hunting for a room at Edin-
burg, Thursday. and at 4 o'clock in
Brownsville. Thursday afternoon.
still had not been able to get a no.
tel room.
This means that the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Is in the eye Of the
public as she has never been before
What would have happened in the
way OF visitors had not the stock
market cut such caperS late last
iail one can never tell.
There is one peculiar ~phsycology
about people. The moment il gets
abroad that the Valley is chock full
Of people, looking II over. thousands
OF others will come to see what the
others are looking for. We might
rs well get ready 10 receive them.
CPEAKING Of queer turns and n
cores. while Wisconsin is 50 busy
legislating against Valley land
dealers, and Valley business men are
so busy cutting off their trade with
Wisconsin, store dealers in WILSON,
sin have started a special adver-
Using campaign Of Valley fruit.
This information is contained in
a letter TO Fred w. Fisher OF Browns
vile from his mother Mrs. @. l..
Fisher Of Milwaukee. Mrs. Fisher
says that the stores are letting Mil
waukee people know they have VAL
ley grapefruit. and 1t IS said that
II is enjoying a sale never before
known.
Wisconsin 50 far has suffered In
business from the Valley TO the tune
Of about two millions OF dollars on
machinery alone. It seems that the
people there are not all in accord
with the legal action nov under
fire. The pendulum will probably
soon swing in Wisconsin and Texas
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley
will be known there as never before
Moral: Put Texas and the Lower
Rio Grande Valley on all the grape
fruit shipped in there.
