And sure enough they are.
He suggested that something be
done about this immediately. and
that the beaches along the gulf be
improved in a big way.
We predict that within five a
the beaches will be crowded with
tens OF thousands of tourists and
Valley citizens. that there will be
hotel Accommodations scattered along
the Gulf shores. and that there will
be a regular colony Of summer res
idents with summer homes down
around Boca Chica.
The way things are now. there is
an excellent road to Boca Chica,
and about a mile and a half Of
water for each bather.,
Grabbing a crystal and doing a
little gazing into the future, here Is
what we saw:
Twenty thousand persons, all in
bathing suits. trying to swim in the
Gulf on a beach a few miles long.
Thousands of automobiles lined up
facing the water. and colored UNI
brellas dotting the beach. Hotels,
restaurants, cottages.

About that time the crystal
cracked on our face and we had to
go home.
Is a Safe Ssfes
To be or not TO be, that is not
the question.
The question isis a safe safe?
Up in Weslaco, the Thousand
Mile-Loop service station opened
for business as per schedule Thurs
day only to find that robbers had
stolen the company's safe.
We hear that several concerns are
discussing the question of having
safes around. They attract robbers.
Why pay big money for a safe. and
then have it stolen. along with the

All About a Wedding
Wednesday night a wedding was
held in the Presbyterian church.
Everything was lovely, and the
church was p~rofusely decorated
with beautiful flowers.
Doubtless the society editor has
told about the dresses worn by the
girl attendants, and all that sort Of
thing.
They were very attractively at
tired, and the boys who stood UP
with them wore white and black
white linen suits with black every
thing else.
Margaret Anderson, as the bride,
was ravishing in a white ensemble,
We guess, the church IA crowded.
Rev. Day was impressive, and
everything was hunky-dory.
oscar G. Dancy, Jr., as the groom,
was also present.
They have gone, and will live in
Orange, Texas. AS to where the
couple went on a honeymoon, we
don't believe that even the bride
and groom knew where they were
heading for when they left Browns
vile on the train that night. Hous-
ton, probably.

OLDLUMBER BARON DIES IN MICHIGAN
RuggIes, Multi-hillionaire, Lived
 Humbly, Worked to End

Manistee. Mich, August % P- Death came< last night to Charles F.. Ruggles, The last of the Michigan lumb barons. and found him in a plain little room where he had lived for years, preparing his own meals, scrubbing the floors and spending hours over kettles in which he made candy for distribution to children at Christmas time.
 Ruggles, at S4, died multi-mll- lionaire, but there was little differ ence in his mode of life during his last days from that of his youth when he saw and seized the oppor- tunities in northern Michigan's vir- gin forests. When his contempor- aries in the industry went to the cities years ago and built fine homes. he remained behind, living as he always had lived, wearing noccasins and a lumberjaCk shirt, with no necktie beneath his long white beard.
 Worked Every Day
 When numbering passed out in Michigan. Ruggles turned to salt manufacturing and until last Satur- day. when he was stricken ill. was active every work day, He bought into the lumber industry in other states - Minnesota, the Carollnas, Florida, California and much Of the huge estate he left behind is repre- sented in these holdings.
 Ruggles was born in Bangor. Maine, on March 3, 1S46. His par ents took him to Oshkosh. Wis, where he worked in a match factory as q youth, The family moved to Manistee because the youth was suffering from phosphorus poison ing from matches, and a physician recommend outdoor life. This led him to become interested in lumber, and led to his amassing a fortune.
 Had Many Friendships
 He never married. but the place of wife and children appeared to have been filled for him by friend ships. He financed Edward Buck
 
 mills deals years ago, and later took as his clerk and protege John r. Rademaker, who was associated with him for 4N years. Manistee was startled last winter by a break between the two men which came to light in a, suit for s5,000,O00 against the old man filed by Rade- maker. The case was settled after the story of the long relationship had been told in court. Property rights in many joint enterprises were separated in a dissolution Of partnership.
 After that Ruggles carried on with his salt business, apparently as vigorous as at any time in the nearly n years he lived here.
 The strange life he led did not prevent Ruggles from taking an in- terest in the affairs of the world at large. Two years ago it vas re- vealed through a letter from the late Chief Justice William Howard Taft that Ruggles in 1912 provided funds to organize and support the American judiciary society in an ef- fort to help prevent delays of the law"
 Two doctors and four employees were at the old mans bedside when he died. Shortly before he had directed that his funeral be held Saturday afternoon with no reli- gious ceremony and that his body be taken to Oshkosh to rest in a mausoleum beside the bodies of his father and mother.

Capital Discounts List

Washington, Aug % tUP)-The capital is inclined 10 take lightly James ". Gersrd's list of 59 men who he said are the "real rulers" of this country. Most Of the men listed by the former ambassa dor to Ger many are outside of official life.
 Gerard idea that wealth rules found considerable support in off cial circles, however, and his list at tracted wide interest today
 The list was characterized as ridiculous by Senator Carawcl, democrat, Arkansas. chairman of the senate lobby investigating commit tee. There IS not a man on the list powerful enough to name q member Of congress" Caraway said. Why, Atterbury and Mellon combined, couldn't even name a governor in Pennsylvania this year.
 ". ". Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Secretary Of Treasurer Mellon, both on Ger ards list. supported Francis Shunk Brown, defeated candidate for the republican gubernatorial nomina- ton in Pennsylvania,
 Caraway Gives His List
 Caraway countered with q partial list Of his own, naming seven men who he said were so powerful be- cause of their positions or their in fuence on public opinion that they should be included on any list of rulers" He pointed out he was not attempting to name d complete list, but merely noting some of the more important omissions on Gerard's list.
 President Hoover headed Cara ways list. Others on it were Will liam Green, president Of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor; Chief Jus tice Hughes; Senator's Robinson, democrat, Ark, and Borah. republi- can. Idaho: Speaker of the House Longworth, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of Columbia Uni yersity.
 Hoover World Leader
 For the present the most i'm portant man in the world is Her bert Hoover" Caraway said. Any president of the United States, whether a democrat or a republican, is the most. powerful man in the world"
 The Arkansas senator said Green should be on the list because The speaks for q. larger number of peo- pie than anyone on Gerards list"
 Discussing his reason for naming the others, Caraway said Chief Jus tice Hughes belonged on the list because the supreme court con stantly remakes the constitution; Robinson, because he is the minor ity leader of the senate and one of it's most influential members; Bor- ah, because he speaks to an au- dience as large as any one in this country" Speaker Longworth. be- cause of his power over legislation; Butler, because of the ''great num- ber of bright young men and women he reaches as an educator"
 "Others More Important
 Caraway said the men named by Gerard were supreme in their field" but that there were many others more important in the field of public opinion.
 "There may have been time" he said, ''in the old convention days, when somebody with large purse could name his agent. But in this day the open. support Of a candidate by a captain of industry
