W eonAA6 SNPo ~
III rescind It's recent action with
reference to a deep-water port
for the Valley, is placing itself N an
entirely different and far more fav-
CRADLE light with business men in
other Valley towns.
Thts, Of course Is not only true IN
the lower end, but over the Valley
as q whole. kilograms TO the SEN
ate committee in favor Of the port
project as contained in the omnibus
bill will leave the matter Up TO con-
g~ressional action with the entire
support Of the Valley.
Should Harrington have continued
a campaign against the project, or
rather against the present proposal
In favor Of one more directly bene-
fetal to that city. and that have re-
suited in the abandonment by the
government Of support OF the port,
untold harm would have been done
and Valley bitterness somewhat en-
gendered.
The Valley will grow as a whole
with all prospecting, or 1t will prove
a house divided against itself. which
will fall far short Of cooperative
possibilities.
When the chamber Of commerce
votes to favor the project in the
omnibus bill on next Wednesday
night. all those who have disagreed
with the former action of that city
should look upon the matter as an
opponent changing public attitude
in favor Of the good OF all, and ap-
plause viii be in order.
ACTION reported in washington
IN on the omnibus bill points to-
ward a stiff fight between the
two houses to get the measure acted
upon by the senate In the present
term Of congress.
Some press reports have tended to
show there is a possibility Of the
bill being crowded into the Deem
Der term, IN case the tariff keeps on
keeping on, as IL has for the past
many. many months.
The house has sent word TO the
senate 1t will not let the present
session adjourn unless action is TAX
en- on this matter. The senate has
fired back at the house with the
threat Of a filibuster. If the house
starts any untoward action.
John Garner, considered one OF
the strongest, If not the strongest
man IN congress today has pledged
himself to fight to the last ditch
for the Valley port
Not only may a test OF the strength
and motive power Of Mr.. Garner re-
suit, but action stirring 70 those who
love a good fight may also be seen.
MYTH advices received some time
WV Of a drilling campaign by Mar
land az an early date In Starr
county. Geographic sdvices today
from the same source OF informa-
ton say that company has not vet
started operations.
At the same time 1t was said that
the Texas company had set a casing
at 3,51i feet to protect the hole
while they drill TO deeper sand. The
telegram said il was not known how
deep that company expects 70 20 in
search of big pay.
Oil for the Valley Is not altogether
q dream.
MINATED Annie says that those
~ who would leave footprints in
the sands Of time must have a
little In their own craws to start
with.
nNE Of the latest lmpositions on
the truck grower OF the Valley
Is the hot check artist.
The extent 70 which this Is being
practiced by unprincipled vegetable
buyers IS found in the statement OF
County Attorney NJ. r. Hall, who
says that the hot check list Of the
past few days totals about $4,000.
Wherever possible the miscreants
are being arrested and prosecuted.
But neither car they all be appre-
hended, nor when convicted does
that give the money back 10 the
truck grower.
Mr.. Hall warns truck growers TO
know who they are selling TO before
taking their paper. IL may other
wise prove worthless. One truck
grower has been swindled out OF
S70o in this manner
There are many bona fide and
well established truck buyers in the
Valley. They have been required
to post bond. The farmer can eas-
lily get a check On the known buy
ers.
CTRAWS NAV show which way the
~ wind is blowing. but some peo-
PIE won't e believe a balloon.
That is why crooks get SUCH an early
start.
THE same old gospel In the same
old way 80 Go to church today.
II you so there you cannot help
o1t get some good out Of 1t. And We
90 not care where. :
