ITH1LE Brownsville and the Val

NIHlLE BROWNSVILLE ana n val
ley are awaiting with great an
ticfpation the voting of the ap-
preparation for the port. Houston,
Il seems, is suffering growing pains
from hers.
And there seems 10 be some IL
for It.. According to the Houston
Chronicle: The port business of
that city showed an increase Of u
per cent during January and Feb
ruary. compared with the same per-
tod last year"
That Is a mighty business record.
Now 1t seems the Bayou City must
turn around and get some more
grain elevators and a right-of-way
for a railway 10 run down both sides
of the channel. through the indus
trial center. There is none, who
will deny that the port has been
Houston'S greatest business asset
This will prove to be the case for
Brownsville and the Valley.
We are prone to thoroughly agree
with Will Rogers that We used TO
think prosperity a condition, but
that II has nov become a commod@
ity.
INCIDENTALLY. while VIC are
guessing IN what day the om-
nibus bill. carrying this enter
| prise. will come up for a ballot, the
rain gods, led by J. Pluvius, have
answered our prayers for the pota-
10 and truck growers. and the VAL
ley went to sleep last night listen
ing to the patter Of a million dollar
rain.
ACCORDING to a telegram from
u The Herald's Austin correspon-
dent, the house has cast a ia
xorable vote OH the permit for a mil
lion dollar causeway over Laguna
Madre. and It's final passage is ex-
pected today.
Talking about million dollar pros
poets in the Valley these days Is
getting like asking a companion for
A match.
WING Cabbage took a tumble yes
m terday, but there be those who
now declare the vegetable mon
arch has picked up his crown, and
s busting 1t off 10 set on top OF his
lead again.
Various were the arguments as
70 the causes Of the drop IN price,
and almost as many are advanced
now on how to regain the lost
ground on price. In the final anal
ysis the Valley has cabbage, and
other portions have not so much as
usual, and chances are that situa-
ton will have mor TO do with IL
than anything else.
Cabbage above $50 q ton. or at
that price makes a most profitable
crop for the Valley.
IN. 3. CREAGER issued a state
m ment at Dallas yesterday eve
ming in which he threw down
The gauntlet TO Brookhart and Nc
Kellar TO do their worst
He declared the Republican lead
ers Of Texas have nothing 10 con-
ceal and stand four-Souare 10 the
world" Nothing to retraCt. nothing
for which to apologize He added
that he still stands behind Roy
Campbell OF Laredo, customs COL
lector. and J. ID. Hartman. United
States attorney and declares that
the Republicans Of Texas do not
intend TO have a democrat from
Tennessee. or a bolshevik from Iowa
dictate their policies.
No one ever accused r. B. Creag-
or OF not being a scrapper. and
people somehow or other always
respect a good Scrapper.
JUDGING from yesterday cleo
ton. Brownsville has some mex;
door neighbors. who do not care
60 be associated with her in a civic
way. But Brownsville still held her
kindly spirit for them and invited
them into the city fold.
