Clarence Darrow.
BROWNSVILLE citizens do not
n have to boil their water any
more. This was the statement
received yesterday afternoon from
2. A. Rosenthal. city manager. who
said that summer cleaning at the
filtration plant has now reached
the stage where the water IS taking
its regular course
In order to clean the basins it was
necessary TO run the water directly
through the mains for a day 0r two
TO allow the work TO proceed.
II members Of the Rotary club
can be taken as an indication the
proposed bond issue will carry by
a large majority on next Friday.
One great danger TO a proposition
like that is that those opposed 10 the
issue viii make it a point to go to
the polls. So those in favor Of IL
should also make II a point to go.
This is an emergency vote, you
know.
yITE ought to make II a whole
WV hearted affair. because we are
certainly going to need the
water, and more Of 1t.
You know that If you have some
thing good other people seem not 70
have been noticing much. all you
have to do Is tell them how proud
OF 1t 70 are and soon they will be-
gin TO feel that way about IL.
The engineer of this column and
other editors in the Valley have re-
Gently been preaching the gospel
Of our great summer and winter
climate. Our triumphant shout has
been heard anG taken notice Of as
far as Houston. as witness the fol-
lowing from the Chronicle:
1.-THE Valley country keeps right on
setting new records no matter
what other parts of The country
are doing.
Brownsville is cheerfully giving
us the information that while Oma-
ha. Neb.. has been burning under
a l1i-degree temperature, and Kan
saS and Dakota and Iowa towns
have been reporting everything up
TO i07. the mean temperature for the
big Valley town in July was SO,
while the highest point reached by
the thermometer was 95.
Imports from Mexico for the
month set a new record for all time,
passing the million dollar mark.
with a port and coastal canal in
prospect. the Valley country has
much reason for its optimism"
A CERTAIN company IS planning
IA to build a great toll bridge 70 a
Valley beach. at present bare Of
almost everything but the waves,
simply because the directors know
that properly advertised thotRands
will come 10 swim on that beach.
And bring their money bags with
them.
If a man makes the best mouse
trap on earth the world will

will yet the trap seekers moving
much nor quickly If he advertises
he has that very thing 70 offer.
TROM reports received today. it
seems the Detroit Better Bust
ness Bureau has finally been
smoked ont and invited down from
its lair " in the big manufacturing
city, and its representatives are COM
ing down 10 the Valley TO see If
what they printed about our resaca
land is true.
That is all the VALLEY asks of them.
Now. if there be any in the Valley
who have a patch of reSaca land
IL up a bit. II precedent holds,
members OF that party will be want
ing TO purchase some before they
leave.
vITHICH reminds us that We have
WV 10 hand today a letter from San
Benito asking how Wisconsin
controversy came out. The writer
asks that he be referred to only as

Well MI. S B. the Wisconsin con
troversy ended so friendly il almost
came 70 tears at parting with the
final delegation. The last word We
heard from the secretary Of the or
~ganization which brought down the
delegation was that he saw nothing
TO do but kiss. make up and be
friends" In fact we have since
heard the visiting committee was 50
thoroughly convinced ii has since
oeen made somewhat or a political
issue In a Wisconsin campaign.
However. Mr.. 8. b.. we have never
seen the official report Of that body
TO its own organization.
