Dean Porter, his son. has recent
ii completed a home there.

VII. E. ANDERSON Of San Benito
wv and Louis c. Hill Of Los Angeles
have been appointed IS con-
sulting engineers IN the American
section OF the international water
commission.
This commission has to do with
the division OF the waters Of the
Rio Grande and other boundary
streams. News of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Anderson is IN direct
keeping with the wishes OF Valley
interests.
Some time ago 1t was suggested
that the commission be done away
with. or held inactive. Upon re-
ceipt Of this the Brownsville Cham
Der Of Commerce became very active
in the effort 70 keep the committee
and keep IL active. Mr.. Anderson
has always been a member OF 1t and
IL was very much desired that he
be retained. r. B. Creager was APP
pointed chairman OF the chamber
committee and he recommended Mr..
Anderson as the man with a greater
working knowledge of the subject
than probably any other IN the
country.
This committee has before it a
problem Of greatest Importance to
Valley interests. TO get such a rep
resentative as Mr.. Anderson leaves
the Valley feeling that its water
supply is in safe hands.

her venture from disaster and now her
