WHILE the United States govern
wv ment has seen fit TO help out
the Valley and Brownsville and
Point Isabel in plucking a nice bus
mess plum in the port, Mexico. in
working out her own road system,
to bring more business TO Browns
Vile and the Valley by way Of Mata-
moros.
This is found in the decision to
start work on the highway from
Mazatlan to Matamoros. This means
a direct contact with Monterrey,
which is the key city for entrance
into Mexico from the north.
With q hard surfaced highway TO
Monterrey. and in turn to the cap
ital and other cities Of the interior
TO furnish truck transportation, and
our fast air service for passengers
and mail. and a water outlet here
Tor Mexican goods, all the engineer
Of this column can say is watch the
smoke Of the Valley during the next
five years as she speeds progress.
MONDAY morning and the acct
W dent list. First thing we saw on
picking up the morning papers
today was an account of the death
Of five in a highway accident.
Following the Sunday holidays,
death is invariably served with our
breakfast grapefruit every Monday
morning. And mostly because too
many heedlesSly risk their lives,
possessed Of the demon speed.
Over or the roadway leading into
Matamoros Saturday night an in
Cident occurred where one e driv-
ing at about thirty miles an hour
was not going fast enough for a
young man, who seemed to think
himself somebody come to pass. So
he rammed that car from behind.
The man, who was bumped into,
came in and wanted his name kept
out Of the paper because he later
accused the speed demon Of reck-
less driving. and when the young
ster came 10 his car abusing him,
he knocked him down. What we
think Is that his picture ought to
be carried as using an effective
method of stopping accidents.
The greatest trouble is that after
some fool driver has hit a careful
driver. 1t Is too bad that the care
full driver is usually so manned that
he cannot deal him punishment
then and there.
ONCE announcement that Browns
al vile is TO have a deep water
port. mail of various kinds from
many points, has come 20 our desk.
But probably We got the prize
package today. II was a notice OF
a sale of submarines owe thirteen
years old. Now If there be any in
Brownsville. or the Valley, who want
IN nice quick sinking submarine VIC
.lave a list of the models The prices
are not carried however, so you will
have 10 do your own bargaining.
Some Of them are nice little tricks
that will make fourteen knots al
hour and most of them carry three
inch guns. Later on we might get
q few Tor the children TO play with.
but right now VIC are thinking OF
ships TO haul grapefruit and oranges
Or what have you.
IT looks like six more weeks Of win
ter weather over the United
States. The ground hog kept
company with his shadow yesterday,
and the weather must act accord
ingly.
GETTING back 10 the idea dis
In cuSsed before in this column
concerning a museum for this
city, the idea seems TO be taking
hold of the interest OF many more
than We at first expected.
Several have stopped to discuss
ii with us. It seems that such an
unusual museum can be obtained,
that an unusual setting for IL should
Ee worked out.
The more the better. II such can

and Brownsville style. No section III

the Valley III public buildings. But
this time il should not Be a matter
for further taxation OF the people.
The entire project should be the
gift. o. gifts. from individuals.
II may work ont beautifully.
