THERE are two big enterprises in
the air in Valley flying circles.
These are the proposed airport
at Matamoros and Harlingen.
Matamoros Is getting busy i'm
mediately to build a landing field
and Accommodations similar to that
Of the Brownsville port. On next
wednesday the Harlingen city faith
ers will meet with a petition before
them to set a date for voting on a
proposed $4,000 bond issue for an
airport.
1t is now said IL will not be long
before citrus fruits and Valley
truck will be moving by airplane.
That is easy to believe. It is also
easy to foresee that some day a
city without an airport will be in
the same category as one without
a railway station would be today.
Furthermore, chances are that
the day is not far distant when the
big railway corporations will buy
out and merge into two Or three
big systems all the airlines in the
country.
This will probably be best. The
present railway organizations have
always handled the transportation
Of the country, the officers have
had the experience and the COM
panies have the capital. Then the
cities that have built their ports
will get their money back. If they do
not realize a profit. 1t is said that
railway circles are thinking about
this very thing.
Wonder If that is what Is hold
ing up a line from the border into
Mexico by the Southern or Mis-
souri, Pacific?
rINAL census returns for San Ben
ito. Brownsville. Harlingen, Nc
Allen are still awaiting further
checking. That OF McAllen is X
pected to be made within a day or
two, but on the other three, 1t Is
said it will take more time. Nc
Allen is joyfully reporting she will
show at least 5000.
Up state both Houston and Dali
las, with all counted, have made
their final announcements, and are
sitting back waiting for word from
San Antonio. 1t has already been
announced that the Alamo City will
show more than the 100000 shown
by Dallas. Now Houston is Won
dering If Santone will beat her
200, 1000. Houston papers are already
paving the way editorially. should
San Antonio show more than that.
by saying that the Bayou City at
least is the big business center OF
Texas. That is what deep-water
shipping does for a city.
EVERYTHING possible Is being
i. done for the comfort OF the jury
in the Creager case. Judge Es-
ties has issued instructions to the
deputies to take the members wher-
ever they want to go.
Sunday thy wanted TO go TO Point
Isabel and have a fish dinner, a boat
ride, etc. And they didn't do any
thing else but. From such obser-
vations. it seem 1t is not so hard
to be on a jury after all.

that the bill goes right ahead so
far as any issue on the Valley pro-
ject Is concerned.
There will be more hot discussion
over the Erie canal project, Blu
chances are we will &c Ia vote on
the omnibus bill. which carries these
projects before congress adjourns IN
June.
