BROWNSVILLE citizens do not
n have to boil their water any
more. This was the statement
received yesterday afternoon from
z. A. Rosenthal. city manager. who
said that summer cleaning at the
filtration plant has now reached
its regular course.
In order TO clean the basins it was
necessary to run the water directly
through the mains for a day Or two
10 allow the work to proceed.
If 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 to the
issue will make 1t a point 70 go TO
the polls. SO those in favor Of II
should also make it a point to go.
This is an emergency vote, you
know.
VTTE ought to make IL 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 to
have been noticing much, all you
have TO do is tell them how proud
Of IL YOU are and soon they will be-
gin 10 feel that way about 1t.
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 and taken notice Of as
far as Houston. as witness the fol-
lowing from the Chronicle:
'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 l1l-degree temperature, and Kan
sas and Dakota and Iowa towns
have been reporting everything up
TO lot. the e temperature for the
big Valley town IN July was 83,
while the highest point reached by
the thermometer was 50.
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
IN TO build a great toll bridge to a
Valley beach, at present bare Of
almost everything but the waves,
simply because the directors know
that properly advertised thotwands
will come to swim on that beach.
And bring their money bags with
them.
If a man makes the best mouse
trap on earth the world will
beat a path 10 his door, but he
will get the trap seekers moving
much more quickly If he advertises
he has that very thing TO offer.
FROM reports received today, it
seems the Detroit Better Bust
ness Bureau has finally been
smoked ont and invited down from
its lair ur in the big manufacturing
city, and its representatives are COM
ing down to 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
for sale they might be frightening
1t up a bit. If precedent holds.
members Of that party will be want
ing to purchase some before they
leave.
9ITHICH reminds US that we have
wv to hand today a letter from San
- Benito asking how Wisconsin
controversy came out. The writer
asks that he be referred TO only as
S. B.. but those are not his initials.
Well Mr.. S. B. the Wisconsin con-
troversy ended so friendly 1t almost
came TO 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 I'D and be
friends" In fact We have since
heard the visiting committee was so
thoroughly convinced Ii has since
been made somewhat OF a political
issue in a Wisconsin campaign.
However, Mr.. s. B.. we have never
seen the official report Of that body
to its own organization.
MINATED Annie says the Valley
IN gets such a grip on visitors IL
- takes their breath away.
