IN OUR
VALLEY
|. BY CHARLES A L

line between Brownsville and
Kansas City made its appear
ance yesterday in the reported act
ivities Of r. G. Gillick in Kansas
City.
Mr.. Gillick is known in Browns
vile, and while the idea he Is ad-
vancing is at present only in the
promotion stage, 1t is added that
the Kansas City Chamber OF Com
merce is becomming interested in
the project, and with that body in
terested, Brownsville and the Valley
may be further advanced in avi-
alton progress.
The Brownsville airport has been
made a permanent proposition. 1t
has been declared n of the out
standing international gateways.
Our flying business might be said
now TO have a berth in the big lea
que OF flying. AS the years go by
the more important a factor it will
become.
Now let that deep water port be
added. and then tack on a railway
TO Mexico and let the world watch
our smoke Of city growth.
TO-DAY is the last day Texas nim-
rods can keep venison in stor-
age. The season closed some
fg~ days ago and about ten days Of
mace have been granted for caring
FOR the meat by the more success
full hunters.
Warning is hereby given that this
is no bluff from the game wardens,
and the juicy steaks had better be
removed home. The engineer of this
column has known several friends
to lose their venison through pro-
crastination.
If there be any in Brownsville,
who have racked their brains TO de-
termine what 10 do with it, and still
cannot decide we will not charge
anything for offering them a very
pregnant suggestion. Our telephone
Is No. 7.
CPEAKING of presents. Mr.. and
Al Mrs. E. w. Archer Of Lyford
during the Christmas holidays,
worked out a plan Of giving
presents. which. If adopted by more
In this fertile vale. will rebound to
general advertising as well as highly
pleased friends.
They fixed UP five boxes Of fine
fruit and sent them to five promi-
nent men in Ohio. They were &C
companied by Mexican curios
in the form of walking me
: Two Of the parties made the re-
cipients were bankers. but where
the donors played a stronger hand
was by sending two OF them TO
newspaper editors. AS a result the
newspaper editors started talking
about the fine presents they had re-
ceived, and the bankers, not TO be
outdone. joined in the chorus. News
paper editors will talk, you know.
DRESS dispatches today show that
several Of the leading Brokers
of Laredo have selected Eagle
Pass for their branch houses. until
the customs house controversy with
Mexico Is over.
The Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce foresaw some such action as
establishing these offices, and be-
came actively engaged in present
ing invitations to these same brok-
ers. AS a result one Of the houses,
that Of Brennan & Corrigan is also
establishing a branch office in
Brownsville.
Brownsville welcomes Messrs Bre-
nnal & Corrigan. both Of whom arc
known 10 the writer. II is hoped
that reports they make to the other
brokers will cause the others to see
fit to also establish offices in
Brownsville. Our business vas to get
some offices for Brownsville in case
al a move. and not to kOb Laredo
Nor to cheat Eagle Pass. If offices
are established In both Eagle Pass
and Brownsville there will be two
towns made happy instead OF one,
and the final outcome might be
that they will later re-establiss Of
fees in Laredo to make three house.
and everybody Will be happy al
around.
