THERE are two big enterprises in
the air in Valley flying circles.
These are the proposed airport
ut Matamoros and Harrington.
Matamoros Is getting busy i'm
mediately TO build a landing field
and Accommodations similar to that
q the Brownsville port. On next
wednesday the Harlingen city faith
ers win meet with d petition before
them to set a date for voting on a
proposed $4,000 bond issue for an
airport.
It is now said it will not be long
before citrus fruits and Valley
truck will be moving by airplane.
That Is easy TO believe. 1t is also
easy to foresee that some day q
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 railsay 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. II is said that
railway circles are thinking about
this very thing.
Wonder II 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, Harrington, Nc
Allen are still awaiting further
checking. That of McAllen is ex-
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 1900.
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 II Santone will beat her
10000. Houston papers are already
paving the way editorially, should
San Antonio show more than that.
hy saying that the Bayou City at
least is the big business center Of
Texas. That is what d~eep-water
shipping does for a city.
EVERYTHING possible Is being
II. done for the comfort OF the jury
In the Creager ase Judge Es-
tes has issued instructions TO the
deputies to take the members wher-
ever they want to 60.
Sunday thy wanted to 90 to Point
Isabel and have O fish dinner, q boat
ride, etc. Ind they didn't do any
thing else but. From such obser-
vations. 1t seems 1t IS not so hard
to be on q jury after al.
nNENT deep-water shipping, the
n engineer OF this column, after
- listening to rumblings coming
out Of washington since Mr.. Cham
bers appeared before the senate
committee and asked that all our
efforts have accomplished be recon-
sidered, is constrained to say ne will
wager the family fur lined bath tub
that the bill goes right ahead so
far as any issue on the Valley pro-
ject is concerned.
There viii be more hot discussion
over the Erie canal project, but
chances are we will &c Ia vote on
the omnibus bill. which carries these
projects before congress adjourns IN
Juoe.
